OT - OT ...ordered Belgian waffle with berries, and they brought me extra dry raisens??? instead of berries. If this had been the curmudgeon thread, I would have called back the waiter and really let him know what I thought. <g> Stan Forgive me that I'm not always up on things, but I don't know exactly where this 'curmudgeon thread' is which I am seeing mentioned here on occasion. I haven't heard that word used in years since my Grandfather used it between his teeth about a horse breeder on the border of Kentucky and Illinois that shafted Gramps with an Appaloosa named Prince for the 'kids' to train and ride. I still wear a scar on my left arm from Prince, but that's a whole other story. However, my understanding of the word would suggest that extra dry raisins - and a hell of a lot of them - might indeed be the exact medicine for a 'curmudgeon'. If you gentlemen are going to gather for breakfast and talk 'value' investing, could you please do it more often since the results of your discussion over waffles created a 99 point up day for the Nasdaq. I will even treat you to as many extra dry raisins and waffles that you desire provided you can create such 'value' types of days. BB P.S. Have you ever tried to get a Belgian waffle in Belgium or a Danish pastry in Denmark? Pretty much a fruitless search for both.
