I learned, early on, that my Granddad was right. "Defend yourself. With
a club if he's much bigger. But, defend yourself." Bullies do get the
point if it's forcefully applied.

I, OTOH, was interested in girls from before I was a Cub Sprout. My
sister's friends were very friendly. Bv)=
I see the B.S.A. has changed its name to "Scouting America" Which is a
usurpation since the Boy Scouts were invented by Robert Baden-Powell in
Merrie Olde England as the Boy Scouts Association in 1908.
Today is the anniversary of the first time bottle Co'Cola was sold in
1886.
3 lb Beef chuck roast
2 tb Oil
16 oz Can crushed Tomatoes
12 oz Coca-Cola *
1 lg Onion; chopped or sliced
1 pk Spaghetti sauce mix
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Garlic granules
* Use non-HFCS (Kosher for Passover) Co'Cola.
Brown meat in oil for ten minutes on each side; remove
to crockpot. Drain fat.
Break up tomatoes in their juice; add remaining
ingredients, stirring until spaghetti sauce mix is
dissolved. Pour over meat. Cover; simmer until meat
is tender.
Thicken gravy; serve over sliced meat.
