Why would anyone in his right mind buy an RV these days, with fuel
hovering at $3+ a gallon and the ****-poor mileage those vehicles get?




Same reason why would anyoen buy a decent sized boat. They enjoy the
device. Lots of these RV'ers that full time, do not drive that many
miles a year. Maybe 5000. And at about 7-8 mpg, the extra cost for
fuel is not a big item in the overall cost. And people who use the RV
for weekend trips drive even less a year.



Yeah, driving is so much fun, and driving a barge is even more fun.

Oatmeal, the old fashioned kind, with a banana.

It's healthy. I don't eat "fatty" foods very often. My cholesterol
numbers are right where I want them to be, and without medications.

No disagreement that it's good for you. I tried over and over last winter
with the various types but just couldn't handle it. I do a cup of dry
puffed wheat and some yogurt (which took some time, but I now enjoy).

I don't know that it is true, but the claim for oatmeal is that it
absorbs "cholesterol" or fat, anyway, and keeps some of it from getting
into your bloodstream. I like puffed wheat, too, but I don't believe it
works as oatmeal does. Have you tried any of the low-fat yogurt drinks?
Not bad.

I did, but I like the 60 calorie yogurt cups better. When I remember to
stock up, I snack on them 3 or 4 times a day.

The studies on oatmeal and cholesterol show that raw oatmeal does a much
better job of cleaning you. So mix some raw into the yogurt and eat it that
way.

Oatmeal is much easier when you are losing your teeth, it guess it just
slides down without any chewing.
