I seem to go through phases where I can go for a few weeks seemingly not being able to get enough hot stuff at any sitting to times where it is really not that much of a priority. It seems to vary also from day to day. I only got into the hot stuff about 10 years ago when I could not even tolerate a little crushed red pepper in my marinara sauce. Now I'm sprinkling hab powder on my ice cream! I could not imagine going back to bland on a permanent basis... =Mark "Runs With Scissors" Stevens @ http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens @ @ ICQ# 2059548 @ Where ya' from? Jersey. Yeah? What exit?
