In Salt Lake City, where I live is Honeyville Grain that sells bulk food items at huge discounts. 100LBS Pinto Beans $38. They have all kinds of beans, grains, cereals, dried milk, honey, etc. etc.

This type of company can be found all over the US. They sell mainly to bakeries and to companies that re-package it into smaller amounts and then sell at a high profit. However they also sell to the public!!! Search your yellow pages for such a company and save big money on your Y2K preparations!!!

Freddie, You wouldn't be from Holland by any chance would you?

-- Puddintame (dit@dot.com), March 12, 1999.

Ja, Puddintame, ik ben geboren in Holland in 1936 en naar Amerika verhuisd in 1952. Het is een goed land hier! Maar de leiders van het land zijn niet veel waard. Hou je maar taai! If you can read that, then you are smarter then most on this bulletin board! Talk to you again!

My great-g-g-g-g-g grandfather was also from Holland, so I'll take a stab: "Yes, Puddintame, I was born in Holland in 1936 and moved to America in 1952. This is good land! Bill Clinton is an idiot. Hou je maar taai!" (How'd I do?)

-- Puddintame (dit@dot.com), March 12, 1999.

Don't forget the bulk wheat at Lehi mills.

-- nine (Nine_fingers@hotmail.com), March 12, 1999.

Yes, Puddintame, you did good! You said it better than I did about idiot Clinton! I tried to say it in a round about way.

How is it that you understand Dutch, since you are so far removed from the grandfather who moved here from Holland?

-- Freddie the Freeloader (freddie@aol.com), March 12, 1999.

Freddie, I can't understand a word of Dutch, but your Dutch looks just like my Morse code reception in English, so maybe I squeaked by.

-- Puddintame (dit@dot.com), March 12, 1999.

I wrote the "The leaders of this land are not worth much" and you translated it to "Clinton is an idiot!"

To me that was a perfect translation! You did good!

Freddie, when I look in the yellow pages what am I looking under?

-- jhollander (hollander@ij.net), March 12, 1999.

Sorry, hit that submit button too soon. (Bad button, bad bad)

It's me, Jeannie :)

Just noticed your email addy, Puddintame... that and your reference to Morse begs the question, are you a ham?

-- sparks (wireless@home.com), March 12, 1999.

Sparky, I'm a no-code tech. I'm punctuationally challenged (and 0-9 challenged by code.) I'm going to try to get my 5wpm approved in April. I'd like to get 13wpm in April, but I don't think that will happen. I'll also take the General theory test in April.

-- Puddintame (dit@dot.com), March 12, 1999.

Pot ver dikemi Freddie, dat zyne heel goed koppe pryzen.Hartlyke bedankt voor de informatie. Groeten van een lange slungel.

-- Watchful (seethesea@msn.com), March 12, 1999.

Quit posting prices and quantities of stuff that I can't get my hands on, and I don't give a rats ass if your dutch!

-- want2freeload (want2freeload@seeyou.com), March 12, 1999.

Hey, that's great, Puddintame! I understand that if you can get the 5 wpm under your belt now, you may be grandfathered into a General class ticket when/if the license structure changes. I know what you mean about the code... it took me three months to get from 0 to 5 wpm, then another month to get to 13 wpm... getting to 20 wpm seemed easy after that, so don't lose hope.

That makes four hams that I know of here so far, you, me, Chuck, and a W6 who posted once... wonder how many more are lurking?

-- sparks (wireless@home.com), March 12, 1999.

Want2freeload is a klootzak and a boere lul!

-- Freddie the Freeloader (freddie@aol.com), March 13, 1999.

want2freeload is a klutz and a bore and has no sense of humor!

Anybody know of any big distributors like this in the midwest? Kind of hard to look them up from Florida !
