>OK
Just a technical question then ... what is a corn knife?
How about a picture? ... of the knives, that is.<
Don't have any scanned into the puter, but
A corn knife is a kind of machete, used to cut corn stalks for silage and
fodder. The blade is rectangular, sharp on one edge, blunt on the back and
end, about the width of a hand. The tang goes into a wooden handle, about
6"-8" long. My companion at the time made me a pair with 10 inch handles so
I can hold either of them two-handed if necessary. (I have little hands.)
One of the pair has a stainless blade, the other is cold rolled steel. The
cold rolled steel is tough enough for chopping wood. The stainless is sharp
enough for some pretty impressive kitchen work. At the time, the Household
I was with had some "issues" with some Merc Households, since we were a
former Mercenary House that had gone legit. The knives were for "kitchen
defense". There was some serious doubt among my Household about just how
effective I would be at defending the camp if I were left alone, so they
decided to make me look well armed, at least, hence the knives.

No, apparently there was a dead link for a group (in the Barony) around
here that had like a monthly dinner, with period food. They don't do it

I concur. I am heartily thankful that my parents [both born in 1923] are
hale and whole and live in their own home. My brother lives with them, but
it is more so that there is somebody to shovel the snow and move heavy items
than anything else.
When the time comes, Danny and I will see about geting in home health aids -
but we are hoping it never gets that bad. A quick clean death some night
while sleeping peacefully instead of an illness is god's gift.
What offends me as much as the nursing homes is the 'retirement condos'
where you pay 10s of thousands of dollars for a condo unit. There is a
nursing facility on site. If you get ill and go into the facility, you
almost NEVER get your unit back, it is sold to somebody else and you are
stuck in the nursing facility. I also object heartily to the fact that Rob
[my Lord Husband] and I would NOT be allowed to share a room and bed in a
nursing home. That is most heinous. Not that we want to bounce the mattress,
but share physical touch and comfort.
We won't even go near discussing the food. I have been to a few homes and
just from the smell of the dining areas I KNOW I don't want to go there.
MAybe we SHOULD start discussing some form of retirement facility, as a
non-profit group, don't we have the same right to run a facility as any
church or shriner-type organization? AS we are getting older as a group,
this is something we might consider [wasn't Akim talking about some sort of
residential faclity at his Glaedenfield site?]
amrgali
the quote starts here:
As part of my job, I help people escape nursing homes. There is about 14%
of the nursing home population in the US that is below the age of 45. When
you enter a nursing home, the institution is allowed to take all your
money, whether you are on SSI at $550/month, or higher source of income
such as $2000 from SSDI. Nursing home inmates receive a very chic
$31/month for spending money. Less than Federal prisoners get.
In general, the living conditions are nasty, at best. If any of you have
been to a nursing home, you can identify the smell. A putrid mixture of
stale urine, and despair. Yes, you can smell the despair in the air.
Not to mention the food in there. There's the old joke of kids telling
their parents that if they don't behave they'll put them in nursing home
where they won't get fed meat. Not too far from the truth. And not a lot
of food they get, where there are sometimes near riots when snacks get put
out.
A staff of mine who uses a wheelchair goes in the homes to meet with people
who expressed a desire to leave. He was once forbidden to leave the
nursing home. THey thought he was a resident. The administrator wasn't
there, so the staff were keeping him. He finally was able to leave. But I
ask you, is it nursing home, or jail, where people there are not allowed to
leave?

I don't have a lot of faith in the Milpitas office, but I'm pretty sure
they aren't selling your address. If Corporate Operations sold mailing
lists of the SCA membership, that would make it possible for SCA members
to get lists, and the Milpitas office wouldn't want that.
If you have ever served as registrar or autocrat for an event, the
information could be out there. There was also a case recently where the
Rolls Ethereal were plundered for addresses. In one case, a bunch of us on
the SIG list got catalogs via post-- it appeared that some Russian
School Supplies company had plundered the SIG membership list off the SIG
webpages...

Yes, Nam Hai would probably be a good bet, you might also look at Akins -
never know.
Actually, you might check with Kabani's - it's middle eastern more than
Indian but it would be worth a phone call. They are on Harvard just north
of 244 by Anne's Bakery.
You might also check at that grocery store we were doing the drumming
at.....on 41st? for quinces..... Although I have seen them at Albertsons
from time to time.

I know someone who was in the SCA who wore wraparound sunglasses (black)
in sunshine because he had acute photosensitivity. It looked very odd,
considering he was VERY Welsh in extraction and had long flowing hair. But
it was a _lot_ easier to ignore his sunglasses than to deal with him if he
got a migraine.
I wear contacts most of the time, and most people who know me know me
without glasses. But this year I've gotten new glasses and wear them a
lot-- I find that no-one actually notices that I'm wearing glasses. [Of
course, at one point I had a huge bandaid under one eye for a week and
only three people commented, so I don't know if people don't notice or
don't comment. *GRIN*]

Looks like a machete with the point cut off, straight across at its
widest point, leaving a "stump" of about 15"-18" long. There are
pictures on the Web if you do a search for "corn knife".
Adamantius, who has been known to use a small machete, also a cut-off
version, to chop poultry bones

Hans was looking over my shoulder last night while I was looking up
something off the list. Laughed out loud when he read this subject title.
Made off with all sorts of lewd senario. So what did I get this morning? A
message from him that says;
"I googled myself
tonight..................................."
(then skips down many lines to finish that most of his results on his name
were not in english).
Needless to say, I had coffee all over my desk and howled in laughter for
over five minutes. My boss was just glad that I was in a good mood today.

Subject: [Sca-cooks] Food Network and Master A's nightmare
Reply-To: sca-cooks at ansteorra.org
Last night, while flipping through the channels, I tripped across "Food
Fantasy" on
Food TV. This was the glorious one with the couple who wanted to be "Lord
and Lady"
for an evening. If you don't remember, Food Network contacted Master
Adamantius
and asked for assistance. But it turns out that "assistance" had more to do
with
getting constumed characters than anything to do with food. They had a
German
chef who created his own dishes.
The entire episode made me cringe. From the bad costumes to the food to the
blatent
anachronisims. And the funny thing was that I watched this with Selene. As I
was
wailing at the food, the costumes and the bad acting or general attitudes of
the
people, she was cringing at the fight scene, the garb and the fact they were
playing
Beethoven on a lute.
Heh. Different tastes and both wanted to crawl under the couch.
On a totally different note, has anyone else watched Al Roker's visit to an
1820's
recreation village? Very cool. Some nice info and they even did the
"Spinning Chickens"
thing with turkey. I intend to do that at Estrella this year.
