Thanks Uncle Scrooge! So far so good. It's annoying that I can't really use my shop at the moment, but I guess rest is more important for now.

I'd add Cheerios to that list. I'm addicted to Cheerios. But yeah, most cereals are just weird.

A few years ago I tried a "meal replacement" cereal called Vector. Now that stuff was odd.
About five years ago there was this cereal called Vive, and you just can't get it anymore. It tasted great, was full of protein, but was so crunchy that anything more than a small bowlful made your jaw ache.

I was really big on Life brand cereal for a long time, and I still love it. Mircrowaved with a little honey on top is great in the winter. I don't eat as much cereal as I used to, 'cause now I'm on soy milk only, and it's just not the same. Wheatabix is another great one to have hot. I'm a big porridge fan, too.

Hello?! Frosted Flakes? Still the best cereal ever.

Now they have it with phoney sugar for the skinny people.
Skinny people eat diet food and fat people eat too much fat. It should be inverted.

If your talking about shredded wheat I love the stuff. The big bales that come three in a bag not the bite sized ones.

Congratulations on the successful bypass! Were they able to do you orthoscopically? It is pretty astounding what they can do with a couple of tiny 1cm incisions.

No I had the full deal. A 22, 23cm incision in the chest and a split Chest bone plus a 30cm incision on my leg to get the artery to use in the actual bypass

My chest is now held together with wire staples. I am thinking of inductively connecting myself to a laptop as a self contained WiFi aerial.

Yow. Yeah, my father-in-law had open-heart surgery Christmas before last. It's hard for me to feel too sorry for myself after having seen him go through that.

Hehe. I think the wavelength is wrong for the aerial length. Maybe you could mount the antenna a foot or so in front of your chest and use the staples as a reflector.

I've got a knee full of staples too. Looks like someone stapled a 10cm line of raw hamburger to my leg.

Out of curiosity. Are these staples detected by metal detectors e.g at the airport or hand held scanners as used at the entrance to some high security buildings ?
