Subj : Todays Blooper To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Mar 16 2022 07:05:00 Hi Daryl! DS> When Bill Clinton ran for governor, Hillary used her maiden DS> name, Rodham, instead of her married name of Clinton...he lost DS> the election. BM> The voters didn't know. DS> Word got out about it. Some people just can't keep a secret! BM> Probably ran out of business by the donut shops: police tried to hide BM> they were on break by saying "I'm going to the Steak-Out" -- people BM> heard as 'stake out' and assumed on assignment. ...Then there was the BM> poor rookie who was in full gear at the Steak-Out restaurant -- he BM> though he was going to get a criminal at a stake out! DS> I doubt that. You usually find cops around the donut shops. 'Cause in the middle of the night the donut shops were sometimes the only place open with a table and coffee. ...One of the local restaurants here was close to three colleges and had an 'informal arrangement' students could study there anytime and for as long as they wanted, just give up the table if paying customers came in. The idea was if people were inside they would be less likely to be robbed. AFAIK it worked. BM> Especially that day he put his monocle in the wrong eye! DS> It's like a right and left handed pencil or other utensil. Writing with the eraser end again, are we? BM> Well for starters is that 'most': meaning not all. Someone out there BM> can help. Maybe a place to (re-)start is to go to a place you don't BM> qualify and simply tell them I know I don't qualify for assistance from BM> you folks but hopefully can give me a lead to where I do qualify. And BM> yes, sometimes you need to go multiple times to the wrong site to BM> finally find the person there who can point you in the right direction. DS> That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. With not DS> sleeping well at night anymore, it is struggle to stay awake DS> during the day when I'm out driving on errands. A reason you're not sleeping well could be the worrying of finances, which might be helped by the 'needle' search. BM> Right: if you don't like it don't buy it. DS> I do like a meatza pizza (ground beef, sausage, ham, canadian DS> bacon, and pepperoni...along with extra cheese and vidalia DS> (sweet) onion). Sounds good and I just had breakfast! BM> My reply on this item was probably downloaded the day after. DS> I haven't been checking the BBS mail daily...I'm lucky to DS> update the weather and ham radio data. We're in a pattern now, DS> where it's dry for 2 days, then stormy for 2 days. It's supposed to be alllllmmmooooosssst 70ø today; tomorrow morning a slight chance of rain with a pretty decent probability for rain Thursday afternoon/evening, possible snow showers Friday morning. BM> No real comment as I don't buy lunch meats. DS> Being an amateur radio operator, when I eat ham, I'm DS> cannibalistic. Kinky! BM> I find some of the chicken nuggets have an odd flavour. Not a bad one, BM> just - - unexpected? Like something was added. The popcorn and larger BM> nuggets are fine but the shaped/flattened ones have this slight quirk BM> of a flavour. DS> These remind me of those cheese snacks shaped like fish...but DS> the name escapes me. Pepperidge Farm Goldfish? BM> Unfortunately probably so. My shopping is different, f'instance I'd BM> probably buy three different versions of the chicken: nugget, patty, BM> and (something else), but then I prefer variety. Some people can eat a BM> bologna sandwich every day for lunch and be happy; I need to switch BM> that out to peanut butter one day, ham another, egg yet another, etc. DS> Yeah, you can get burned out. So that was the problem: I over-toasted the sandwich bread!! BM> Some of the store brands are the same or essentially the same, some are BM> definitely different. DS> I couldn't tell any difference. If you can't tell the difference make sense to go with the cheaper stuff. OTOH with your restrictions might make more sense to buy the more expensive one for better nutrition. BM> Paisley and random-pattered shirts are great for that issue! (Blends BM> right in!!) DS> They have a new smokehouse BBQ sandwich that looks awfully DS> good. Go formal and wear that paisley tie! BM> Bet they get mad this time every year! Up still have snow on the BM> ground from earlier this week, This morning it's currently 7ø with a BM> wind chill of (looking - huh!) 7-below. Tomorrow's high predicted at BM> 54ø. DS> All the snow from Friday's storm was gone by Sunday afternoon. DS> The roads weren't that bad, except for a few isolated areas. I think all the snow here with the exception of those parking lot piles has melted. LIS they're talking a possibility of snow showers Friday morning, so might be back. BM> No use fighting Mother Nature. I could see if someone wanted to start BM> seedlings, etc., in their basement or 3-season room -- get a head start BM> on planting. Stick a poor defenseless plant outside to fend for itself BM> - nope! DS> They'll be lawyers at your door soon enough. :P Sent by the ASPCP? ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
