Barbara and I belong to a FirstClass bulletin board. It was originally a for-profit business though now it's just for fun. The administrator lived in Cumberland. She invited us, sight unseen back in the 90s, to visit her. She put us up for a wonderful week full of good friends, whoopie pies, Moxie, and, best of all, lobster. She left her house unlocked and her car keys in the ignition. I really enjoyed her hospitality, visiting the Portland head light and all the Mainers we met.<br /><br />For those of you who haven't thought about it, it's the only one-syllable state and the only state with just one other state bordering it.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-56445959331052236822010-04-01T21:36:22.041-05:002010-04-01T21:36:22.041-05:00Windhover and the Irish: I hope you had a wonderfu...Windhover and the Irish: I hope you had a wonderful anniversary.

As you know I am the buyer for BK and buy most of their products. One of the things you never want to hear about is a product "recall" or "hold", as you have to follow through the "recall" process. BK is in the process of a promotion on Steakhouse burgers and my Q/A guy sent me an e-mail stating that ours were put on hold and we had to call every store. I may fogive him by June. BTW it was about 4:15pm. I leave at 4:30pm. Some not so nice ladylike words came out of my mouth.
