Subj : Re: Millikan's was: Wegm To : Daryl Stout From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon Jan 06 2020 21:27:52 -=> Quoting Daryl Stout to NANCY BACKUS on 01-Jan-2020 00:45 <=- DS> The reason I'm answering BBS mail at this hour, is due to the DS> fireworks, firecrackers, and possible gunfire, outside, to celebrate DS> the New Year. These folks obviously don't care about folks suffering DS> from PTSD, or with sensitive pets. I'd rather deal with constant DS> thunder and lightning. This year I didn't hear any fireworks, etc.... Maybe the city didn't do them this year after all... I can't see them, but usually can hear them from the house... we're about 2-3 miles from downtown... NB>> And I'm running way behind, as you can see... too many things keep NB>> popping up that have needed attending to.... DS> After all, BBSing is a hobby. :) Sort of... DS>> It just takes a woman's touch. :) NB>> Or a grampa's.... :) DS> I never got to that point...although with visiting this couple and DS> their dachshund (their kid ), I've become "a dachshund's uncle". I was thinking more of Barry being a grampa.... I only have honorary grandchildren, myself... only my niece's kids... :) NB>> I still try to be careful what and how much I eat, even when at NB>> holiday gatherings.... DS> I eat one meal a day, usually at lunch, and I'm fine for 24 hours. We have one main meal a day... but do have to have at least a snack with pills when taking them at other than with that meal... :) NB>>I saw you show up in Micronet... :) And gradually, other places... :) DS> I think the FIDONet feed has started back tonight. Seemed to have... you were showing up in Fidogazette and in Memories... NB>> Maybe it'll be enough sleep to "knit up the raveled sleeve of care" NB>> as the poem says (don't ask me which one, or which poet, since right NB>> at the moment I've not a clue).... DS> Never heard of it. It's not for beauty's sake...I gave that up long DS> ago. Sufficient to be able to function the next day, anyway.... NB>> We went out to our usual restaurant Christmas Day with friends... NB>> Taste of Japan makes it a point to be open all the holidays... :) DS> Around here, Walgreen's and the Chinese Restaurants were the main DS> things open on Christmas. I don't know if any other restaurants were, DS> but the fast food places were closed. Pretty much everything was closed here except the various Asian restaurants... We went looking for an open pharmacy, and weren't sure if Walgreens here was open... sounds like we should have stopped in to check... ;) NB>> Hopefully this time things will go better... DS> This is the third time they've gone in...I hope it's the charm. Indeed. :) NB>> I learned a round when I was in high school.... "Bah, humbug, NB>> Christmas, what nonsense, a plot just to waste good time and money, NB>> preposterous I say... ignore such childish Bosh"... It gets sung NB>> periodically this time of year.... DS> I can understand why. They had the decorations up in the stores here DS> in July. While there's a lot about Christmas that I don't consider bosh or humbug, most of the merchandising and advertising is definitely in that category..... and a lot of what passes for Christmas music as well... NB>> Have you started your collection of reindeer heads...? DS> LOL!! Only on the computer!! It's like the classic cartoon from "The DS> Far Side", where this one deer has a bullseye target on his chest, and DS> another deer laments "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal".
