8/7     I've noticed at work that immigrants (chinese & indian mostly) tend
        to bring their own lunch while natives (all races) tend to buy lunch/
        eat out.  The only natives bringing their own lunch are the
        older generation that grew up poor.  Is frugality something that get
        lost after one genration?  -curious
        \_ It isn't about frugality.
        \_ yes. -immigrant
        \_ It could be that immigrants prefer authentic home cooking.
           \_ not predominantly. -immigrant
           \_ some indians do. -son of immigrants from india
        \_ I just visited the main distribution center in the south (Memphis,
           TN) of a retail company (not computer related).  Everyone there,
           young or old, brings their own lunch, even thought there are
           restaurants within minutes drive.  Cost of living is much lower
           than here.  There are virtually no immigrants in that city.  -- yuen
           \_ then there're the younger natives with tight budgets.
              \_ Check out the tight budget on that one.
        \_ maybe the immigrants prefer to eat white women?
        \_ biology -- because you whities are horney and wanna meet new
           people to fuck.

6/8     My wife and I are childless. We never had much interest, but if we
        don't have kids soon we never will and so we are talking about it.
        To us the birthing process and pregnancy are disgusting. I realize
        it's the most natural thing in the world, but it's still extremely
        nasty to us both. And I believe in childbeating, which is illegal
        where I live. The more we learn (plus about all the associated

        Spendthrifts and tightwads marry each other
        \_ in general white guys are spendthrifts ande white girls
           are even bigger spendthrifts. don't marry white if
           you want to save.
           \_ Don't marry Asian if you want to have a life.

10/11   Are there any CSUA'ers in NYC, or who know things to do in NYC? steven
        and I are doing the tourist thing.
        \_ I thought the Empire State Building was much better than I
           expected it to be. The museums are all stellar, especially the
           Met, MoMA, and Natural History Museum.  Lots of good
           plays/shows/concerts. Top notch restaurants. Worth seeing the Statue

10/12   In the same spirit as below, I'm going to be in the Florida Keys
        for a few days Thanksgiving Week.  Any recs on what to do, where
        to stay, what to eat.  All I know about is going snorkeling.

4/21    Which restaurant allows bringing your own wine bottle?
        \_ McD's usually seems cool with it. Homeless winos do it all the time.
        \_ Most restaurants that serve wine will let you with a corkage fee.
         \_ But unless you are bringing a high end wine it is considered
            a bit tacky to bring your own.
            \_ Would a bottle of Yellow Tail be considered high end enough not
