That hold the btton thing isn't uncommon -- I can't stand them. The pae is legal if the description can be said to msatch the product; if they lied. they can be blackballed by Amazon, if you report it. We use Amazon.CA a lot -- so convenient, & cheaper than local. . . > I remember installing software for my late Mom (I was her computer guru), > and I told her that "you just agreed to the terms and conditions"...both of > us had blank looks on our faces. :P I get that with my clients when I say the same thing. They as what they just agreed to & I say, "Basically not to use the program to hurt the developer in any way & not yo use it to be an arsehole in general, plus 140 pages of random boilerplate." >> * Why are iPhone chargers not called Apple Juice?! >> I'm now calling my little battery charge holders AJs. . . > I saw a product from Dr. Leonard's similar to that, but it would be where > you could store all your batteries.

We buy the AA in boxes of 128 -- all laid out when open, & easy to pick out as needed -- nice & neat to put away until needed. Got the same in AAA recently, as we use both. We have that forehead thermometer, too. . . I gave up on the cheapo portable fans, as they no longer have the reservoir ones where you can spritz yourself with water through the fan, making as nice spray on your sauteeing face. > The substance of reality is BS -- but cows do as well, and they don't > brag about it.

Nope -- what is DRE in this context? Digital Rectal Examination? I've never heard it called a D.R.E. Just colonoscopy (or rectal endoscopy) > Mr. Smith, your blood shows brown cells in your blood. Either you're > full of coffee or crap. :P Either way; some people use coffee to break constipation & to time their morning poops. I have no timing control for my nether dumps -- when it's time, it's time -- so inconvenient! Knew a guy in a care home I was taking a class at, who had a pet cockatiel. He'd go out on the patio, hold the bird over the storm drain & say, "Poop, Sid!" & danged if that bird didn't squeeze one out! A presidential hopeful was wondering why everyone thinks he's a bird enthusiast.
