Subj : Health Was: Nuts To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Dec 01 2019 11:36:00 Hi Nancy! BM>>>> Right. Some of the people including us on this block do look out the BM>>>> window and observe what is going on (especially with noises, etc.), BM>>>> but most seem to be behind closed drapes. I don't mind not being BM>>>> chummy but if something doesn't seem right will monitor and possibly BM>>>> do something if the situation warrents. NB>>>> A lot of it is in knowing what the normal pattern is, so that an NB>>>> abnormal one stands out.... :) BM>>> Right: Dad had taught me "know what's normal, everything else is BM>>> abnormal". NB>>> Potentially very good advice... :) BM>> Yes, the majority of the time. And 'abnormal' isn't necessarily bad. NB>> True... once in a great while things can be abnormally good... ;) BM> True! ...Not coming up with an example right now but that won't stop BM> from agreeing. NB> We are such agreeable people... ;) True! NB>>>>>> ... I try to take one day at a time, but often several days attack NB>>>>>> at once BM>>>>> Is that a 'daze'?! NB>>>>> Some daze, yes.... BM>>>> Good news: I'm not confused! NB>>>> Good... ;) BM>>> Or maybe.... NB>>> Must be more days attacked at once again... ;) BM>> Darn things keep ganging up! And sometimes they combine forces with BM>> those ornery But Firsts. Not a fair fight. NB>> Definitely not a fair fight...! :) BM> And LIS a while back, sometimes the temporary bad delay is really a BM> good delay: learned something in the interim which helped to find the BM> solution, or made the fix better, or an upcoming change nullifying the BM> original fix. And other times just an excuse. NB> True on both counts.... :) Have to be able to figure which is NB> which... I tend not to spend too much time on that -- more learn from the past and apply towards the future. NB>> ... Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize I was driving. BM> Reminds me of a segment on one of the cop shows we watch: probably 20- BM> something (does the face have to be blurred out?!) got pulled over, BM> was trying to get out of getting the ticket/going to jail by stating BM> wasn't "driving" but was "travelling". (Didn't work.) NB> I wouldn't think it would work... He was clearly travelling way NB> too fast.... :) And his mind not quite fast enough to get himself out of the ticket. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® .... Stupid; politically correct.
