Subj : Re: food, etc... To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon Nov 11 2019 03:18:22 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 06-Nov-2019 08:52 <=- NB>>>> And if I weren't answering so much later, the thread wouldn't be so NB>>>> hard to remember, either... ;) BM>>> One reason for overquoting. (The other being laziness!!) NB>>> It's not overquoting if it's needed to keep context... The NB>>> only recordkeeping I'm doing is the messages themselves... BM>> Plus in the old days everyone used dial-up and there were BM>> no discounts, so the less old message portion sent back and forth the BM>> less the telephone bill was at the end of the month. NB>> But one still needed to leave enough in to make what followed NB>> understandable... :) BM> True: sometimes got rather confusing in the old days with multiple BM> people when too much snippage. I still see that, where everything is snipped except maybe a line or so, and it's hard to remember what the context was.... generally not in threads I'm actually involved in, so just a minor annoyance... :) BM>>> Haven't had to weed it lately: weeds think it's too cold and not BM>>> enough daylight! NB>>> A benefit of it being fall, turning towards winter... ;) BM>> Though there were plenty of weeds to remove. Now looks like they'll BM>> be staying until next year. (Like that is a super-concern to me: BM>> running out of weeds.) NB>> The only problem being that if the weeds get their roots too well NB>> established, they'll be even more of a nuisance next year.... BM> Agree, though with the current weather conditions can't do to much BM> about that. Even when pulling weeds and able to 'get the roots' seemed BM> like enough had been been left to allow the weed to re-establish BM> easily. Or just a new weed in the old spot. Guess helps to keep me BM> from being too bored next year! I suppose so... ;) NB>>>> The good thing about the change of seasons... things get less NB>>>> intense all around... :) BM>>> I don't know about that: they're adding the wind chill factor more and BM>>> more lately! Will get really intense in a couple of months!! NB>>> OK, a different sort of intense, anyway.... ;) And yes, with the NB>>> temps dropping and the wind picking up, there is that wind chill NB>>> factor to worry about.... BM>> And now add snow to that! NB>> So far only for you... not me, yet... ;) BM> You'll get yours! So far just a little bit... likely to change, tomorrow, though... we shall see... And are you getting any of this predicted storm....? NB>>> ... To boldly go where no sane person has any business. BM>> The good news is I never claimed to be totally sane! NB>> That can be helpful around here... ;) BM> I'm thinking more anywhere, but that's my slightly warped view of my BM> reality! Good point... ;) ttyl neb ....
