Hello Dave,

- which was rooted in the structure of leaving messages in "room" of a Dungeons and Dragons game. All very ad hoc and informal.

There's a lot of current communications programs that still use IRC's underpinnings in them. I know Twitch (an online streaming platform) uses a slightly modified version of IRC as its chat service. I am on Twitter and Facebook but rarely use both. I still like BBSing, IRC, and amateur radio for social networking.

I look at FB in the morning with coffee. We also use it for group chats
for the family when planning events.

Musk doesn't bother me. It's hilarious to watch anyone under the age of
thirty lose their s*it about their pervceived social injustices. Thank goodness they weren't alive 40 years ago.

Title: Dirty Dave's Old Fashion Chicken & Noodles
Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Vegetables, Herbs
Yield: 5 Servings

500 g (17.6 oz) Swabian Spaetzle *
28 oz (2 cans) chicken broth
2 Chicken leg quarters; cooked
- meat removed from bone and
- shredded
1/8 ts Ground sage
1 ts Celery seed
1/4 ts (to 1/2 ts) "Italian" herb
- seasoning
10 3/4 oz Can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 c Left over chicken gravy
+=OR=+
12 oz Jar Heinz chicken gravy

* Deutsche Kuche found at ALDI. These are as good as I
can make from scratch on a good day. And not expensive.

In a large pan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the
noodles. Stir. Let it come back to a boil, turn down to
a medium heat, stirring often. While cooking add chicken
and spices. Cook noodles until tender, if it becomes dry
add small amount of water until noodles are tender.

Mix together chicken soup and gravy. Add to the noodle
mixture and stir continuously. When they are no longer
watery, remove from heat. The noodles will be thick,
creamy and chewy. Similar to dumplings.

Serves 4-6 with side dishes.

I admit to becoming a bit anti-social as I've grown older. I prefer my own company these days, much to my mother's worry, and am avoiding going out as much as I can except for early mornings and occasionally late night to go grocery shopping. I guess with what's happened with me in thr past few
years, I just like to be left alone though I do like going to visit family
and the (very few) local friends I have.

much worse."

I told one of my young (mid 20s) co-workers who was complaining about
life being "unfair" ... I used to whine because I had no shoes. Then I
met a man who had no feet."

Now he thinks I'm some sort of guru or something.
