A Tagline says: "I ain't completely ignorant, some parts are missing"

When I use SUPERAntiSpyware, sometimes I see a advertisement that says:
"Don't let your ISP spy on you"
"Browse privately with a VPN"

I don't use a VPN, but I know everything that goes through AT&T could be
seen by them, if they were curious about what sites I visit.

I never read the Book, but I've seen references to what is in the Book.

Probably has something to do with when Ma Bell got split up into many

Not just Floyd Knobs, the Southern portion of Indiana below the Communities
that surround Indianapolis are in Area Code 812, Area Code 930 was added to
the Southern portion of the State.

A few years before the 930 Area Code was added along with 812, I learned
that West Virginia, where my Brother lives got a second Area Code.
He told me his neighbor next door has a different Area Code than he does.

Thanks for the Hot Brown Recipe.
I never ate a Hot Brown.
I've walked by the Brown Hotel at Fourth and Broadway as I was going
to watch a Movie at one of the Theater'a in Downtown Louisville,
but I never ate anything there.

My older Brother took Me and my other Brother inside the Brown Hotel.
I 'think' I remember the Cafeteria was on the First Floor and there
was a Electric-Eye Door Opener at its entrance.

Us boys just had to wave our hand over the Light to see the Door Open,
then my older Brother said we should go out and get on the bus to go home.

I will have to look when I shopping to see what Emmenthaler cheese is.
I've never heard of that kind of Cheese.

Maybe the WordWeb Dictionary on this pc knows what Emmenthaler Cheese is.

YEP!. Sure Does! - it (WW) says "Swiss Cheese with Large Holes".

I was looking at the Note: and was wondering if the Hot Brown
originated early in the Last Century, not This One.

  Note: This is a regional favorite that originated at
  Louisville's Brown Hotel earlier in this century. Many
  variations can be found, most commonly country ham is
  added and a cheddar sauce is substituted. This is our
  version which I feel is closer to the original recipe.
  It is offered on our lunch menu.
