Subj : moving or not To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Jan 25 2020 07:52:00 Hi Daryl! BM> DS> Got some dead ones on a kitchen cabinet that I need to clean BM> DS> off, but something always comes up. BM>Yumm! Saute? Serve as hors d'oeuvre? DS> You want to hear a good gag?? :P Hey! I'd no Emeril but I no one has been hospitalized - yet! BM> DS> We knew that you "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME"...even if it was BM> DS> from Acme. BM>OK - so try it at a friend's home! DS> Most kids nowadays have no idea what the classic Looney Tunes DS> were. In the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", the slogan was "If DS> It's ACME, it's a gasser". Their biggest seller?? The hand DS> buzzer. I understand their hand doorbell was a flop. Do watch some of the PBS Kids shows with Autumn and they do make reference to some of the older cartoons and shows. 99% of those go right over her 5-yo head. BM>And rats should go splats! ...And it just dawned on me: Mr. Jinx is a BM>largish black-and-white cat who is always after Pixie and Dixie, two BM>relatively cute gray mice. Apparently they needed a better press agent. DS> That's right. My repressed childhood memories are making a breakthrough!! BM> BM> Quickdraw McGraw -- remember him BM> DS> And, El Kabong...along with Babba Louie. BM>Nope, back to those cartoon question marks over my head. DS> You might be able to find the classic cartoons on YouTube. I've DS> been too busy to look lately. I also forgot another one...Sheriff DS> "Ping Ping Ping" Ricochet Rabbit. :P Yes, could look on YouTube: for me probably the least expensive option (generally free - I'll sip at coffee during the commercial). As for Sheriff "Ping Ping Ping" Ricochet Rabbit - another one who doesn't sound familiar. Wonder what I was doing? Apparently not watching TV! BM> BM> Wally Gator, Touche' Turtle (and Dum-Dum) -- maybe Wally, other no BM> DS> Touche' Turtle had a sword...Dum Dum was his canine sidekick. BM>Predecessor to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?! DS> Maybe. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As long as doens't recult in a lawsuit! BM> DS> (making content for those 16 and younger only), it will kill BM> DS> YouTube, as there will be no viewers for the ads. BM>Well there might be viewers but not too many buyers. DS> And, in my browser (Firefox), I have ad blockers, etc. The DS> websites hate that, but I want to protect my system in case a DS> website gets hacked with malware links. Here I have Firefox with Ad Block Plus -- does block a lot of ads but a lot still get through. Their explanation is some ads have been white- listed and/or are for whatever reason approved. (And that was paraphrased.) Overall better with ADP than without. Not sure if just viewing the ads without going to the ads' sites is a problem but overall agree with the more layers of protection the better. BM>It would be kind of funny of archeologists discovered the pyramids, BM>Great Wall of China, Stonehedge, etc., were created with the help of BM>things like Fred's dinosaur at the quarry! DS> Here are some items: DS> A beaver for a paint brush, who notes "I hope he remembers to DS> clean me when he's done. I hate to go home with a sticky tail". Plus if water-based paint might turn the beaver's pond an odd colour! Oil-based: probably strange blotches. DS> A turtle for an iron, who notes "If they were smart, they'd lay DS> eggs like we do, and have no problem". An idea whose time has hatched! DS> A parrot for a doctors office intercom, who flew back and forth DS> from the speaker box in the doctors room, to the speaker box at DS> the nurses station out front. When one said "I heard them", the DS> parrot lamented "I don't know what they need me for". That one's good! :) BM>I'd be more concerned about the person with incontinence bringing 15 BM>shirts and not 15 pants! DS> Of course, if they're a nudist, soiling clothes is the least of DS> their worries. :P They would be able to pack really-really light! DS> On another note, I forget where it was, but police finally DS> caught "the pooper bandit"...a woman who was constantly DS> defecating in parking lots. I guess she had an aversion to DS> toilets. For a while at the store we had "The Mad er": would poop next to one of the toilets in the Mens Room stalls. Fortunately the Corporate Haz Mat rules prohibited most of us from having to clean it up as we had not gone through the training. That left Management and L.P. Most of supervisors and managers were female, so either couldn't go in or we'd have to close and guard the door for a while. And L.P. was also about half female staff. And the males sometimes didn't have time. Ended up we'd just close and seal the stall door, put an Out of Order sign up, and leave for the Cleaning Crew. BM>My cane (used when recovering from the fractured femur) was abandoned in BM>the Men's Department at the store and in Lost and Found for months. DS> Mine is a "HurryCane" that was ordered through the Doctor DS> Leonard's catalog...and my walker may have been ordered through DS> it as well. Hey neat! Has a wheel on the bottom to help it move along! The self-standing feature makes sense: I've and others have leaned their cane against a wall, hung on a counter - bam! falls to the floor. And sometimes that floor is a long ways down!! BM> DS> * OLX 1.53 * A heavy night snowstorm is God saying: Take today BM> DS> off. --- SBBSecho 3.10-Win32 BM>We're supposed to get snow tonight (Wednesday into Thursday), tomorrow BM>(Thursday) and Friday - an inch each day. Guess have to work! DS> No winter weather for my part of the country for the DS> foreseeable future...seasonal temperatures, and no snow or ice. DS> Tornado Season is only 5 weeks away . We've had snow the last three nights. Wednesday night got about 1«-2 inches of fairly light snow -- maybe had a top crust: after a while all the specifics run together; just deal with it. Thursday night around 2" but was soggy and heavier. Last night more snow but looks like maybe a «". Is a little foggy out there: sensor here at the house said 99% humidity but I can see the streetlight at the end of the block clearly. Also right at freezing, so don't know yet if icy. This morning's TV weather forecast indicated the temperatures would stay in the lower 30's all day and tomorrow - I think she likes GFS. The one I get from Norway during the mailrun probably uses ECMWF is indicating around freezing all day then dropping to 20ø overnight. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® .... 342 cases of tea were tossed into the harbor during Boston Tea Party. --- MultiMail/Win32 v0.47 þ wcECHO 4.2 ÷ ILink: The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA --- QScan/PCB v1.20a / 01-0462 * Origin: ILink: CFBBS | cfbbs.no-ip.com | 856-933-7096 (454:1/1) .
