Subj : Todays Blooper To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Oct 28 2020 08:47:00 Hi Daryl! DS> My EAS alert went off for the "Amber Alerts" (Child Abduction DS> Emergencies). BM> Mine has too, and the screen stayed on until I acknowledged the alert. DS> Same here. But, the phone batteries run down so fast, it's DS> pathetic. Mine has an option to turn off not-in-use apps: leaves them up if the user has them going but after a period of time doesn't update them. Good for e-mail, not so good to turn off weather alerts! (Can pick and choose: go through the list.) DS> I was wrong, but I was mistaken. BM> That's right! DS> Sounds like politicians...never believe anything until DS> officially denied. And then the next commercial will deny the denying! DS> But, some folks still can't follow directions. BM> Unfortunately yes; true of a lot of situations. DS> Like the deal with the warning labels...such as "Cape does not DS> permit user to fly". Sure it does: "I'm flying! I'm flying! ". BM> Terminex or the dead critters?! Hey, it is almost Halloween: maybe the BM> dead critters are planning their hauntings!! DS> Sheesh. I hope not. As for who's busier, I don't know. I wish I DS> could know that they were gone forever. Too bad you weren't in a German community: 'Rathaus' is 'city hall'. ....I'm trying to remember what I accidentally called when I was in Vienna visiting my Aunt -- I added a syllable and it did translate loosely as 'place of the rat people' -- she got the giggles over it! BM> Go find the _I Love Lucy_ episodes when Tennessee Ernie Ford is guest BM> starring and visits the 'Rick-ah-does'. :) DS> Mister Sixteen Tons. :) The Fat Albert character of the Bill Cosby cartoons?! DS> It can grow pretty quick...especially the beard. BM> Especially during full moons!! DS> These are TMI, but... DS> I've tried walking around the house (I live alone) in the buff, DS> and that doesn't work. The 'around' implies inside, not the outside! DS> When I took a bus ride from Little Rock, Arkansas to DS> Huntsville, Alabama a few years ago for a ham radio event (with a DS> connection in Memphis and then changing buses in Nashville), I DS> got so cramped by sitting so long. My legs basically turned to DS> water when I tried to stand up, then my pants fell down. Had I DS> not had Depends on, it would have been "full moon rising". :P So I see! DS> On that train trip next June, I'll have the walker and my cane DS> with me. Johnny Walker?! BM> Never had a White Castle; before Hy-Vee's remodel did see them in the BM> frozen section occasionally -- probably more I happened to glance at BM> the right section rather than in/out of stock. And probably still BM> stocked, just not looking around in that section. DS> They're gut grenades...basically a small piece of meat, a small DS> slice of cheese, and some grilled onions, on a dinner roll. A.k.a. 'sliders'. Haven't had those either - probably good, but a hors d'oeuvres hamburger? BM> As for 'chicken fries', I'm thinking a French Fry with a batter coating BM> but could be around here what is referred to as 'chicken fingers': long BM> narrow strips of chicken in a coating, about 3 or 4 inches long by 3/4" BM> wide. DS> I still haven't tried those yet...but with a couple of days of DS> stormy weather, and not going out on the wet roads, I may try DS> them. Having some food in the house for weather emergencies makes sense -- even if just raining and don't want to go out and get wet. ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
