Subj : Re: Metric Dozen To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Thu Jan 06 2022 01:55:00 George... GP> & the bill. . . Foot the bill...what you do to the podiatrist. Medicare won't cover the trimming of toenails, but I (like so many others) can't squeeze the clippers for the severe arthritis...never mind gout in the foot. GP> Likely it was a private study by a company wanting to sell GP> anti-pooting drugs. . . A friend of mine calls that "spider barkings"...when I asked what that was, he replied "Beano!!", and I replied "Ahhhhh!". GP> There are a few creatures that never have those "audio tests of their GP> solid waste disposal systems" -- mostly mollusks & fleas. The bedbugs, after they bite you, poop out blood. A bunch of dots on your bedding or mattress (known as "freckles") is a sign of infestation. Only very high temperatures or special insecticides will kill them. And, you don't want them coming home with you from vacation. GP> Their fibre, for regularity, comes from hair & bones. My late wife quipped that "the chicken needs the bones for the crunchiness". No, thanks...I prefer the boneless pieces. However, there was a meme for "boneless watermelon". :P GP> Well, you can use it to track your calories & sodium intake m, to see GP> where a problem may be occurring -- ifyou're eating that little, GP> obesity shouldn't be an issue. . . Unfortunately, all the processed foods are drowning in sodium. GP> I get the Buddig packs whenever they go on sale for $1 or 99c & get a GP> bunch of corned beef for myself. My family prefers the chicken or GP> turkey. I prefer the turkey, chicken, or ham...I'm not one for corned beef. GP> Been getting the Ziggy's sliced meats more regularly, as it's a good GP> deal & the slices are proper, to me, sandwich thickness (like balogna, GP> instead of deli sliced). It gives a whole new meaning to the word THIN. GP> I put 2 little Buddig slices on my sandwich & can't even taste it(I GP> like loys of yellow mustard -- turmeric is a nice antioxidant. My GP> kids put the whole 55g(2oz?) pack into a sandwich & use miracle whip. I love those commercials, where this guy is talking to this girl on the phone, and when he says "I'm out of Miracle Whip".... (dial tone). :P GP> Hey, she was the boss, right? We were submissive to each others needs. Besides, I had never been married before...I didn't know how things were supposed to be. GP> My son has a contact rash to blueberries -- if he eats them,. he's GP> fine, but if he smears them on his face (like when eating a triple GP> thick blueberry danish too enthusiastically) he breaks out in an awful GP> rash. . . I'm glad I don't have any food allergies. GP> You like spam? You can have mine. Give me your email, so I cam set up a GP> forward for all email I get with a blank sender or not addressed to GP> only me. The guy on the street wanted me to give him some bills...so I handed over my electric, gas, water, and car repair bills. GP> Works for me! I begin eating breakfast early, takes the edge off. . . Unless I'm up early for a ham radio license exam, I'm not a breakfast person. GP> Q: Where do veggies go after they get off the airplane? A: To Cabbage GP> Claim! There is a type of diesel locomotive that Amtrak uses that has doors in the sides of it, behind the cab control of the engine. They apparently swapped most of the traction motors out for baggage compartments, so the locomotive is known as "cabbage" for "cab" and "baggage". They are used mainly in Amtrak's California Service. GP> Q: How did John and Yoko get their son to eat his veggies? A: "Sean, GP> all we are saying is give peas a chance." I love peas and carrots...I have to go shopping later today, so I may get stuff to make up a nice casserole. GP> Orange you glad I came up with these grape and un-beet-able puns? GP> Cauliflower (call a flower) shop. In celebration! It's just bananas, GP> and will drive you coco and nuts! There was a commercial years ago for a vegetable band. Two of the instruments were rutabega and a bass brocoli (sp?). They'll play the theme song "Yes, We Have No Bananas", and then we'll eat our instruments. This guy wants to try one, so he's handed a stalk of celery. He blows it like a flute, and is told "you strum it"...then the teacher growls "Beginners". Daryl .... You say I'm a little behind?? You can't see my butt. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (1:2320/33) .
