    True, and this one caters very much to the college/seminary/young

    Ask one of the inmates of a senior citizen's home who is of your
    religious bent.

    We've got Baptist churchs all over the area, just have to do some
    asking about the specific worship style, location (don't want to go too far from WF) and other factors.

    One God - a gazillion different versions.

    Post 32 is located across from the main gate of the state fairgroound.
    And the have a large (several acres) lot to the west of the post. They park cars there during fiar time and clean up monetarily. My Vintage
    Iron Riders (old folks, old motorcycles) ran the parking for them mid- week (Wednesday) for a rake-off per each carp arked. We cleared over
    U$700 for the day. Which tells me the Legion is "cleaning up".

    Our Legion and VFW posts park for various events (town movie night, 6 Sundays in Spring concert series, etc). VFW also runs a chuck wagon at
    a number of large community events--Meet in the Street, Friday Night on White (Street, concert series in the summer) and so on. Both groups do quite well.

    Have you ever walked back the USDA establishment number on Wgiies
    stuff? I did that for Hy-Vee's house branded product and found that
    it's the same number as is on Dannon/Oikos.

    I've not, but I've had enoough Oikos to know that they're 2 different yogurts.

    I note that Chobani is on sale at Hy-Vee 10 5.3 oz Fruit-On-The-Bottom
    for U$10. Next week's snacking is covered .... Bv)=

    I just picked up a dozen Wegman's yogurts (4 each of peach, strawberry
    and raspberry) yesterday. That'll keep me a couple of weeks.

    I'm waiting for Dannon's chocolate-raspberry to go on special offer. I'll

    I think I had to choke down too much corm meal mush when I was a
    child. So I came by my dislike honestly.

    Sounds like me and peanut butter. We were raised on a lot of oatmeal
    and cream of wheat breakfasts, only allowed about 1/2 tsp brown sugar
    and a splash of milk. When I got on my own, I started adding cinnamon
    and raisins, plus more brown sugar, to my oatmeal--made it SO (!!!)
    much better! My parents also insisted that we have a piece of bread
    after having the cereal. It wasn't a lot of cereal so the bread was supposed to finish filling you up. The cereal filled me enough and I didn't really want white bread but I had to choke it down. But, I
    survived childhood and can now have whatever I want for my breakfast

    Now that sounds like something I'd grab in a heartbeat if we lived out
    in that area. One plus about all the travel we've done is that we have
    to get groceries in new to us stores. Often we'll come across something that we've never seen before and grab a bag/bottle/jar/etc to try. It usually comes home with us so we can try it various ways--got some beef and some chicken fajita seasoning (house brand) from HEB when we were
    in TX a couple of years ago that we've enjoyed.

    Since HEB is privately owned and a Texas (mostly) company there is lillte chance that their seasoning would cross-pollinate with another label.

    They have also begun stocking Praline Pecans. Oh! My waistline.

    Those I wouldn't eat as many of, some, but not as many as the pretzels. (G)

    I wish I could control my "inner jones". That's why I don't being them home often.

    Yes, we found out we get back a very small portion of the dues after
    state and national dues are taken out. There was a time when our
    auxiliary group had a piggy bank out at every meeting to collect pocket
    change. We're well beyond that now but still do other fund raising about
    once a year.

    I know about the Auxiliary, could (but won't) ask Steve about the Legion
    and VFW. All of the above, plus the Marine Corps League, are very active
    in the community, and the community is very supportive of them.

    I've forgotten what the grocery store nearest us in Pacific Grove was.
    Do remember produce stands where I could fill to overflowing a standard
    grocery bag and carry a 5 lb sack of potatoes on the side for under $10.
    when Steve was going to language school in Montery. Sure helped stretch
    a PFC's pay! We could also get 15 cent ice cream cones at Thrifty Drug
    Store and a carousel ride at the Oscar Hossenfelder Cannery building was
    50 cents.

    If I do Chex Mix, I have to do it with just the wheat and rice chex
    cereals so Steve won't have to pick out the corn chex. I've made it a
    few times (before we knew of the corn allergy) but since the girls have
    left home, I don't think I've done it at all. We've found other
    munchies but don't eat too many of them either.
