I suppose, Hans, it's ludicrous to point out that
we were talking about one set of requirements for
an Amateur Radio license as opposed to another
set of requirements for the same license...???

If you say it's ludicrous, then I certainly won't argue with you, so
..=2E....

"I agree, Steve. It's ludicrous to point that out. Thanks for
bringing it up."

Now that's telling him what he wants to hear. Hi!

No other part of the testing is a skill.

My point EXACTLY, Mike.

While there are many skills associated with our hobby, only one of
those skills
is singled out for a required demonstration.

Interestingly, if that skill is so vital as to need a skill
demonstration, it
would seem that no-one who had not been tested would be allowed to
use it on the
air. Yet a basic Technician licensee is perfectly free to use Morse
on the air
without having passed a Morse test. So much for the need for a
demonstration
before a license grant!

I wonder how Dee would accomodate the disabled examinees for the Tower
Climbing pass/fail exam.

Steve, K4YZ

Nope, no "73". That went away when you saw fit to personalize the
conversation
with disparaging ad hominem remarks unrelated to the topic, and to
bring
uninvolved family members into the conversation.

Well...there YOU go stretching things for the sake of creating
yet
another adverse thread, Hans...

That was rich. We must still be on the dessert thread.

If Mike and Dee say it's junk, then don't you be goin' messin' up their
conservative minds with any such heresy.

I don't recall saying dessert was junk.


Besides, if you haven't time to learn
Morse, then you ain't got no time to be eating no sweetened food. Clean up
those green beans too, before you go study your code.

I just finished up my dinner of Sausage and Green beans. Lots of green
beans. No dessert, and didn't miss it either. Might have bit of sugar
free gelatin later for a snack.

Well I've yet to find a "low fat" or "low/no sugar" food that tastes like
the real thing. It always tastes a little different. So my choice is
simply to bypass the desserts as much as I can discipline myself to do so
(sometimes I fail miserably).


As the old Ross Bagdasarian/Rosemary Cloony song of the late '40s
went: "C'mon a' my house, my house, I'm gonna' give you candy...."

That's why she's a specialist......the "store-bought" stuff can't
make it, and the sweetener used in most of those products (Sorbitol
or Manitol) is colloquialy known as "Laxitol".

Since the commercial sweetener Sucralose went "retail" under the
name of "Splenda" it's a lot easier to get the right taste.

Splenda isn't too bad at all. In fact, I've used the artificial
sweeteners for so long that I dislike the taste of "real" sugar. Leaves
a unpleasnt after taste.

Me too, PLEASE !! My husband is borderline diabetic so even if they don't

Dessert is junk???? Not when K0CKB puts it on the dining table! Maybe

Refined sugar is indeed junk. No matter how good it tastes.


One of my wife's avocations is specialty dessert and cake catering
(she's taught that for years and at times has even made money doing
it commercially).

Her specialty is diabetic-safe products (I'm a diabetic) - low fat
and no refined (or unrefined) sugar. She duplicates about 95% of
what one can find on a fancy "sweet table" (marshmellow requires the
crystalline structure of "real" sugar) and I most certainly do not
suffer from a lack of "goodies" all year round.

Sounds awfully yummy, Phil. I'm not anti-sweet, just anti-sugar.


Dessert is one of the basic food groups..... ggg

In my family, desserts were not really all that big a thing. Some sweets
around the holidays, but otherwise we were (are) big meat eaters. Kinda
like leftover hunter gatherers... 8^)

I understand the feeling. When I was growing up, we had "meat, potatoes,
and gravy" as our main staple. For a change, we had "potatoes, gravy, and
meat!"
