I wasn't taking sides. Fact is, it's only a game. Just as there were some who suggested that the Lakers should forfeit their series with the Suns.

If the All Star Game is only a "game", so is the NYSE.

We B PC ?
OK.
Went down to Walmart to buy a few Gallons of paint. One of the (once) most common colors.
NAVAJO White.
" Sorry. Don't have that color any longer in the database. There were certain names that were deleted and there is no cross-reference to what the
color would be now".
Came home and rifled through file after file, but can't find a color swatch, although I have the OLD formula. Since all of their computerized-mixing
gear is new, I'm not confident, but I'm heading back.
ALTHOUGH I have no way of knowing, I am suspicious as to the reason such a popular color ceased to exist (by that name).
BTW, While there standing in line for checkout, two "ladies" in the next line were talking to each other about what a terrible place Walmart was for
not paying their employees a "Livable Wage", etc. I casually asked WHY they were shopping HERE.
"Well, the prices are so good".
YEAH !

Builders and contractors moved away from that particular shade of white years ago. While I get your point, it's more likely there was no demand for
it.

Call me a Doubting Thomas
Or Bill. Or whatever.
It was there in late '09 when I bought two gallons. And, it's just a set of numbers in a database of THOUSANDS of colors at Walmart. Or was. At one
time, it was on the shelf premixed, but first the Exterior and then the Interior disappeared. When it first disappeared from the shelf, the Paint
manager at that time said they got daily complaints because it was so popular.
Looking for a close match, the Paint Gal pulled out a stack of color swatches six-inches long about three-inches thick on a steel-ring. A LOT of
colors.
But, we'll probably never know. I just hope the numbers I've got can be translated. I'm not much for change.

Here's a helpful hint Bill. Try googling 'Navajo White Paint'.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Sharksbaja, You've insulted me for no good cause. Have been "sucker punched" before. Just one of those things. You took your shot. Hope you're proud of yourself.

And the point would be ?
Other than attempting to satisfy the "Why is it gone" (from Walmart) question ?
Which I had already done. Didn't find anything in that respect.
Although a (once very popular) standard color, I found (from '72 to present) that each brand differed somewhat in tint.
Oh Well. Shouldn't be using Racist Paint, right ?

In your case, it would be perfectly acceptable. And expected.

I wasn't going to chime in..but I couldn't help it. Can you believe that someone on Nomad is trying to convince us that the LA Times is not
left-leaning? OMG......I am speechless...

no worries man! bad timing for me to use that euphanism i guess.
i can see how it would trip someone up if they didn't know me.
and hey! the tacos and beer were good yesterday!
i am going to do it again today!
why do we love Mexican food so much? easy - it is the Capsasian - it's a direct connector to endorphans - also why it is used in pain killers.
yes folks - tacos and hot sauce makes one high....well me anyway.

Saw a shocking sight at the grocery store the other day. About twenty cans of Bean Soup.
Now somebody is suggesting that cannibalism is the answer to the problem? That is freakin' horrible...........at least I thought it was until I
wandered down the aisle and came across a bigass display of Rosarito Bean Dip.
Jeeeeezo....I was flabbergasted. Yep...flabbergasted, and you all know what that's like. It aint fun.
Anyway, here's a recipe for what some call, "Fellow Traveler Stew."
................................Mississippi Red Beans....................................
Ingredients:
1 pack of red kidney beans
3 teaspoons bacon drippings
4 cloves of garlic (chopped)
2 large ham hocks (raw, not smoked)
1 onion (chopped)
1 bell pepper (chopped)
1 package of sausage (preferably spicy)
salt
pepper
cayenne or red pepper
Instructions:
Place beans in container with just enough water to cover.
Soak for 2 hours or until beans begin to plump and wrinkle.
In large pot, place the soaked beans, chopped garlic, bacon drippings, ham hocks and about 3 1/4 cups of water.
Bring to a boil.
Then, reduce heat and let simmer for one hour and thirty minutes or until the meat of the ham hocks begin to loosen from the bone.
At this point, add chopped onion, chopped bell pepper and sausage.
After, add salt and black and red peppers to your liking (because of the bacon drippings and ham hocks, only a moderate amount of salt is needed, the
peppers depend on your tolerance of spicy food).
Turn up heat and bring to boil.
Then reduce heat and let simmer for another hour.
Let sit for about 15 to 20 minutes and then your ready for some "good ole red beans".
Comments: The secret to good, thick "bean gravy" is not to add any more water after the first three cups. Serve with rice and enjoy! And don't forget
the cornbread.
