Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • I do the ribs basically like Luke mentioned, minus the malt vinegar, but I throw them in a pressure cooker with the kraut over top, then cook for about 20 minutes and chow down!

    The very best wishes to everyone for the New Year that's fast approaching.

    Mmmm, spare-ribs and sauerkraut, here I come! πŸ˜€

    That's an interesting combination. At least for me. Sauerkraut goes with bratwurst/hot dogs or something simliar.

    Mmmm nosh...so long as it's not turkey!

    Merry belated Christmas to all who celebrate, happy holidays to those who don't.

    Merry Christmas (and a Happy New Year) to all!

    Kit, I loved your song. I guess the UK has a higher proportion of atheists than the US but I assure you we all celebrate Christmas πŸ˜‰

    Glad you liked it. I find that song very amusing because it is politically correct and it shows just how ridiculous political correctness can get. I definitely hope those who celebrated Christmas had a very good one. I had a good Christmas, a very enjoyable day with my hubby and dogs.

    The very best wishes to everyone for the New Year that's fast approaching.

    Christmas was horrible! I had to spend the whole day with my wife and dogs ....

    Er ...

    Um ....

    :hehe:

    LOL LOL hehehe!

  • While I appreciate your frustration and point of view, I must say that as a resource in a rapidly changing environment I use many forums to augment my knowledge. Often I find myself looking and searching but never finding an answer that totally solves my problem. As an independent developer with many hats to wear and different systems to support, I can't be an expert at everything. In hind sight, I would love to have real people around me and learn in that environment just like at the academic level. For me, though, the reality is I don't so I utilize the tools available to the best of my ability. I am still a work in progress.:-)

    Welcome to The Thread. Don't worry about the frustration, this thread is simply a venue for chatter these days.

    Honestly, the only people I've ever met who weren't "a work in progress", were already dead. πŸ™‚

    Not only that, but I actually predicted I'd get asked that exact question!

    Yes, when I was an EMT, I met a few dead people.
