Subj : Re: Todays Blooper To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Mar 20 2022 07:39:00 Barry, DS> Word got out about it. BM> Some people just can't keep a secret! So much for the game show "I've Got A Secret"...but it gives validity to the saying that "Three Can Keep A Secret, If Two Of Them Are Dead". BM> 'Cause in the middle of the night the donut shops were sometimes the BM> only place open with a table and coffee. ...One of the local BM> restaurants here was close to three colleges and had an 'informal BM> arrangement' students could study there anytime and for as long as they BM> wanted, just give up the table if paying customers came in. The idea BM> was if people were inside they would be less likely to be robbed. BM> AFAIK it worked. I've heard stories where a cop was in there, in full uniform, eating... when this thug came in and tried to rob the place. BUSTED!! BM> Writing with the eraser end again, are we? When I erase things, where do they go?? BM> A reason you're not sleeping well could be the worrying of finances, BM> which might be helped by the 'needle' search. I've got more to worry about. Just before midnight last night, I was feeling a bit funky, so I checked my heart rate with the pulse oximeter... 44 -- NOT GOOD!! So, I had to print up a medlist, shut down the computers, and call the paramedics. They didn't find anything unusual, but there's such a shortage of Uber Drivers, that I waited over 2 hours to get a ride. And, they're charging me for 2 transactions for 2 trips where the driver never showed up. My bank said I could block the card, but would have to get a new one...the problem there is I have several items off that card, and it'd be more trouble to cancel it. So, I'm cancelling an appointment with my cardiologist tomorrow (I have to call Monday morning, as it's Sunday at this typing), as I can't make the co-pay for the FUBAR from Uber. So, I'm going to sign up instead with CC GO With Lyft -- using Lyft with Consumer Cellular, since I switched to them from Verizon. But, they're closed for another few hours, so since I was up all night with the ER crap, after I finish this mail packet, I'm going back to bed. BM> Sounds good and I just had breakfast! I don't feel like eating at all...back to the starvation diet of wheat bread and butter. BM> It's supposed to be alllllmmmooooosssst 70ø today; tomorrow morning a BM> slight chance of rain with a pretty decent probability for rain BM> Thursday afternoon/evening, possible snow showers Friday morning. Thunderstorms arrive here Monday afternoon into Wednesday. Areas to the southwest, south, and southeast of Arkansas have a substantial severe weather risk Monday through Tuesday. DS> Being an amateur radio operator, when I eat ham, I'm DS> cannibalistic. BM> Kinky! Gives a whole new meaning to the term "eat me". :P BM> Pepperidge Farm Goldfish? I think so. BM> So that was the problem: I over-toasted the sandwich bread!! You should never leave the toaster oven unattended. BM> If you can't tell the difference make sense to go with the cheaper BM> stuff. OTOH with your restrictions might make more sense to buy the BM> more expensive one for better nutrition. I'm not a vegetarian, but if the organic is cheaper, and still reasonably good, I'll buy it. BM> Go formal and wear that paisley tie! With the fees with transportation, I can't eat out the rest of the month. I may stay home until April. BM> I think all the snow here with the exception of those parking lot piles BM> has melted. LIS they're talking a possibility of snow showers Friday BM> morning, so might be back. Our winter is gone now...it's tornado and flood season. Daryl .... I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.15-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (454:1/33) .
