BBnSpike's Introduction

Hi Dr. Mort,
I don't know what or how to use a blog, so this is sort of new to me.

I baked bread for my father-in-law and mother-in-law yesterday. I used, how do I say this gingerly??? Robert's Family Jewels starter. The bread came out really nice looking, I haven't tasted it yet but will tomorrow. I ground two kind of flour for the rye bread I made, rye and whole wheat so it will be a taste test.
I know nothing of guns except I had one shoved in my mouth once and don't care to be around them. I don't care if others have them just don't want any myself.
Guess this is a start.

Old Camp Cook's Introduction - Welcome, Mort

Welcome, Mort, to the wide opens spaces of blogging.

Are you going to invite the troll, so we can take aim at him with flame throwers?

Inoculate128's Introduction

As long as I can remember, I have always loved good quotations. It's undeniable that they're often contradictory ("Absence makes the heart grow fonder" vs. "Out of sight, out of mind"), but taken together, they represent the distilled wisdom of the ages in concentrated form. Like any strong medicine, they can be overdosed, and can be used inappropriately, but used appropriately and in moderation, can be powerful tools.

Out of many thousands in my collection, my favorite is this:

'Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

It is variously attributed to Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain, but my vote is for Twain, because it sounds so characteristic of his style.

Starting a blog with that advice in mind is a bold step, though. Here's hoping that by speaking out, I don't "remove all doubt."
