Subj : Monthly posting of the ru To : Daryl Stout From : George Pope Date : Fri Aug 11 2023 10:03:26 > George, >> Was it Jif? If people can pronounce GIF as Jif, I guess I can pronounce >> Jif as Kraft *LOL* > Actually, CompuServe created the GIF format...then things spun off from > there. I'm just going by normal English rules for an acronym (new word formed by initial letters like Graphic Interchange Format=GIF); gi is = ji-, so jif is the correct English pronunciation just like Linux shuls sound like Linus in whatever language you're saying it in -- in the original Norwegian, the creator, whose names was pronounced Leenis, pronounced it Leeniks. So these self-styled tech geeks who pronounce it linniks are just plain wrong. >> [Groan warning; this is bad, even for me!] Q: What do you get when you >> eat too much peanut butter? A: Reese+s feces > It's the same color. :P Close enough, unless you taste both, I'm sure. . . > I haven't had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a long time. Several Same. I like to put crunchy peanut butter & strawberry preserves(like jam, but with big chunks of fruit in it) on a toasted bagel on occasion. > 1) A guy is sitting on the exam table, with C-Clamps around his hips, > holding his butt cheeks together.

Contact a local seniors' centre & ask if they have any volunteers for medical drivers. That's what I did when I was single. . . >> I'm with that Jewish radio therapist who says divorce is acceptable >> only for the "3 As": Abuse, Abandonment, & Addiction. My argument in >> these cases is you are not breaking the marriage, you are merely >> acknowledging that the contract is broken already by the other, then >> getting on with your life. > The only Scriptural reasons for a Christian to seek divorce, are abuse, > desertion, and infidelity. I see the Christian view as the married couple are like one body; if the one part is hurting the rest(physically or morally), cut it off. > There was a joke that in Old Testament times, if the wife burned the > toast, the man could get a writ of divorce. Bad joke, as it never was that way -- God was careful to say no to divorce,Period! The way I see it is if we give in to getting a divorce, God can divorce us for the same types of reasons, & that means you're suddenly on the outside, even if you've done everything right thus far to be in His good graces. > I haven't had dairy products in ages. The one thing with the Kool-Aid > that I mix up is that I haven't had a single kidney stone in 3 1/2 years. Yup, Kool-Aid = sugar = crystals, which is what makes stones. I learned to not drink those Emergen-C effervescing tablets, as they make a nice bubbly vitamin drink that tastes like OJ, but those effervescing components are minerals -- what makes stones? One summer, I was peeing out 5- 10 pea-sized stones a DAY!!! I quit the Vitamin-C drinks & was fine.. > The only things I want smoking or steaming is the food on the plate... > such as sizzlin' fajitas at Applebee's.

Yup, nothing but sizzling BBQ for me, too, now! > I saw where they were giving away french fries on July 13, National Fry > Day. I didn't even bother with it. Same, nor July 11 (7/11) Free Slurpee Day. (you get a 7.11fl.oz. Slurpee cup's worth) >> I far prefer Tim Horton's for breakfast; I get: wrap containing: > Is that a restaurant chain?? Yup, big Canadian one, started by the eponymous award winning NHL goalie. Now owned by Burger King Canada. It's similar to your Dunkin' Donuts, I'm to understand. > ... Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Naked. Well, depends what she looks like & if she's driving me somewhere. . . Organic Air Bag protection. If she's bra-less you can test the AC, too. . . --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) .
