Subj : Re: Various Things (2) To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Feb 19 2023 14:58:00 Barry, BM> A few years ago I ordered something noon/afternoon and got it the next BM> morning! And no, did not pay for overnight shipping -- something I BM> have never done except with a legal document. That's very unusual. Normally, Kroger will deliver stuff the next day. At least with ordering groceries, they tell you when your driver is on the way...as you pick the time slot, usually a 2 hour window. With other stuff, it's "any time before 7pm". Be my luck, nature calls, and I'll be "occupied" when they arrive. BM> Poor guy! There was another one with Gertrude and Heathcliff, who were flying over Washington, DC. One said "Look!! The Capitol!!", and the other (grinning wryly) said "This One's On The House!!" BM> LIS in the other message ("#1" in another conference) we had 3-4" of BM> snow yesterday with the temperaure staying just under freezing. This BM> morning was 8ø when I woke up and the wind chill was around 0ø. Not BM> supposed to warm up too much, though the weekend (as I write this BM> tomorrow will be Saturday) and beginning of next week highs predicted BM> in the 40's. We have 2 threats of severe weather this week...Wednesday and Saturday. So, that means more BBS downtime. DS> I thought I had the sights set right. BM> Should had left them! No wonder I haven't handled weaponry in 45 years, since that hunter safety course I took after moving to Arkansas with the family. BM> Probably: I don't recall. Been a while since the power failed and had BM> the lights on. Plus have a whole house surge suppressor so that should BM> reduce the surge, therefore the bright flair. I have surge protection, but when it comes to lightning, it's no contest. BM> Gee, I thought the sliders were larger than nornal! I like buying packs of the King's Hawaiian Dinner Rolls...putting some butter on them, then zapping them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Nothing like hot, fresh, buttered bread. :) BM> My old Brother ink jet printer sometimes was alittle fussy that way: I BM> was buying cartridges from Cartridge World and usually worked fine BM> without any fiddling. Every so often had to do some playing around, BM> and rarely a dud. The name brand ones work fine, but you can't use the generic refills. They have made it where the printer (both Canon and HP) won't recognize anything but the name brand cartridge. BM> Now have a Lexmark laser printer -- colour! duplex! Toner cartridges BM> are a bit of a *gasp!* but are actually cheaper. I've never had a BM> toner cartridge dry up (it's already dry!). Plus laser print doesn't BM> smear if gets wet like inkjet printing does. I've had both Canon and Lexmark printers over the years. But again, it's the cost of the ink cartridges that's a bear. BM> BTW, if an inkjet cartridge goes 'wee-wee' hand sanitizer is pretty BM> good for removal. Better have SHOUT if you get it on your clothes. Daryl ....
