Subj : Re: Various Things To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Aug 17 2021 23:21:00 George, GP> Matter or batter for all the fish earlier on in this thread? Or like the deal "What's this about battered women?? I prefer mine fried". :P > We now will pause 3 minutes for drooling. GP> Careful; computers are electrically powered. . . Even on batteries...which run down so quick. Just like the Samsung A10, A11, and A12 Android phones...all 3 of those are a joke!! They don't hold a charge, and when they completely die, not even plugging a charger into them will help...the phone is basically toast. > GP> drumsticks are normally dark (my fave). . . GP> I use two large ones (w skin-on & bone-in) for the base of my rhino GP> soup (or 4, when cooking for the whole fam damily) I'm finishing off some chicken nuggets...but when I went shopping today (it's supposed to be stormy here the next few days), I stocked up on bread, lunch meat, White Castle cheeseburgers, 3 minute pizzas, diet green tea citrus (now in 2 liter bottles), and Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies (my sweet treat). I also picked up some extra Depends (having to deal with incontience is a b!+ch)...and as folks get older, they're going to have to deal with it. As comedian Jeff Foxworthy notes, "you've got the young ones going out of diapers, and the grandparents going into them". :P GP> They say everything tastes like chicken; I say everything except GP> chicken done properly -- it's just DELICIOUS! & tastes like MORE. Or like "The Far Side" cartoon, where this cow is cooking hamburger on the grill, and he says "I think we taste like chicken". I wonder if that's where Chick-Fil-A got their inspiration? Too bad their peach milk shake is only served during the summer months. GP> She wanted a facelift, but her huge butt was dragging it down too much, GP> so he opted to add more sag to her butt to unline her face by going the GP> other direction! Or she had Zachary Disease...her face looked Zachary like her butt. :P GP> He just finished saying it was free -- a bill saying anyting but GP> "$0.00" would be illegal at that point. That's like the story of the guy who got a bill for $0.00 from the store. He threw it in the trash. Next month, he got a "second notice/past due". Again, he threw it in the trash. Then, he got a nasty letter, threatening him with arrest for non-payment. So, he promptly sat down, and wrote a check for $0.00 and mailed it off. The store didn't bother him again (True Story). GP> My doc's receptionionst tried to bill me for a missed appointment; I GP> presented her with a list of the time Io'd spebnt waiting past my given GP> appointmenmt slot, & it added up to more than the 24 hours notification GP> required. She said she'd need to discuss it with her boss (my doctor, GP> who told heer to back off, then asked me if discplinary action was GP> needed; I said no, she was only trying to do her job as the schools GP> trained. . .) In central Arkansas, you need to give at least 24 hours notice of a cancellation. However, in extreme emergencies, they'll waive the no-show fee. More often than not, they're calling me to reschedule, as the doctor is ill, out of town, running late, etc. GP> Mayhaps they're offering this web-based lookup to patients as a free GP> service & giving all y'all exactly what you've paid for? I have no idea. I've got the patient portal with several area facilities. I remember over 50 years ago that the family doctor did EVERYTHING. Now, you have all these extra specialists. GP> Q: Why did the scarecrow get the job promotion? GP> A: He was outstanding in his field. That's because it was too far to go back into the house. GP> I got promoted at my job and my new office is up in a tree house. GP> I am a branch manager. Never mind barking up the wrong tree to get ahead. Daryl ....
