Subj : moving or not To : BARRY MARTIN From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Jan 26 2020 22:53:00 Barry, BM>Hey! I'd no Emeril but I no one has been hospitalized - yet! My late wife and I would've loved to be on one of his shows. On one episode, he was busy making up some scrumptious cuisine, and out of the blue, my wife let out this pitiful scream. I asked "Honey!! What's Wrong??", and she lamented "He just ruined it"!! The better one was when Paula Deen was on there, cooking up a true southern breakfast (eggs, toast, biscuits, bacon, sausage, ham, gravy, tomatoes, orange juice, etc.), and she was going to add fried pork chops (brief pause for drooling). She notes this deal, like a rolling pin, to tenderize the pork chops, and says "I use this to beat my meat with!!" . The audience erupts into laughter at her comment (a euphemism for masturbation), and Emeril has this horrifed look on his face!! He pleads "Don't Even Go There!!". The black guy on the drums in the band, was about to spit his teeth out of his mouth!! . Years ago, at the Cracker Barrel in Little Rock, on Monday night, they served boneless pork chops...but discontinued that awhile back. Needless to say, I was disappointed. BM>I understand their hand doorbell was a flop. It's better they have a mousetrap for the door knocker ("We'll Hear You!!" ). BM>Do watch some of the PBS Kids shows with Autumn and they do make BM>reference to some of the older cartoons and shows. 99% of those go BM>right over her 5-yo head. All I have with the Xfinity is high speed internet. While there is a TV here, I don't even watch it. BM>My repressed childhood memories are making a breakthrough!! I discovered today that they are apparently now trying to eat their way into the refrigerator. So, I have to call Terminix again in the morning. Combine that with problems with a ham radio application, and I'm not a happy camper right now. BM>Yes, could look on YouTube: for me probably the least expensive option BM>(generally free - I'll sip at coffee during the commercial). As for BM>Sheriff "Ping Ping Ping" Ricochet Rabbit - another one who doesn't BM>sound familiar. Wonder what I was doing? Apparently not watching TV! If a "proposed rule" requires content to be for those 16 and younger, it will kill YouTube, as it's not the kids who have money for the ads. And, if their content isn't viewable, they're not going to pay to set up a channel, or for ads. BM> DS> Maybe. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. BM>As long as doens't recult in a lawsuit! Society is so litigious, they'll sue at the drop of a hat. Next thing, belching, sneezing, and pooting, will be considered capital crimes. If that's the case, everyone should flatulate at once, and light a match...then the whole planet will be incinerated in a methane fireball. BM>Here I have Firefox with Ad Block Plus -- does block a lot of ads but a BM>lot still get through. Their explanation is some ads have been white- BM>listed and/or are for whatever reason approved. (And that was BM>paraphrased.) Overall better with ADP than without. I can't get Facebook to display properly with Firefox...but I prefer the security features with Firefox cvompared to Chrome. BM>Not sure if just viewing the ads without going to the ads' sites is a BM>problem but overall agree with the more layers of protection the better. Got to practice safe hex. BM> DS> A beaver for a paint brush, who notes "I hope he remembers to BM> DS> clean me when he's done. I hate to go home with a sticky tail". BM>Plus if water-based paint might turn the beaver's pond an odd colour! BM>Oil-based: probably strange blotches. I doubt it'd be plaid. Now, there's a color of paint I'd like to see. :P When I worked in silkscreen printing, we had a PMS Chart...but it stood for "Pantone Matching System". You had to replace it yearly, as the colors would fade under the fluorescent lights. BM> DS> A turtle for an iron, who notes "If they were smart, they'd lay BM> DS> eggs like we do, and have no problem". BM>An idea whose time has hatched! If a turtle loses his shell, is he naked or homeless?? BM> DS> A parrot for a doctors office intercom, who flew back and forth BM> DS> from the speaker box in the doctors room, to the speaker box at BM> DS> the nurses station out front. When one said "I heard them", the BM> DS> parrot lamented "I don't know what they need me for". BM>That one's good! :) In one episode, the doctor thought he drew blood from Fred, but it was rubbing alcohol that was in his back pocket. The parrot got a whiff of it, and after the nurse said "He (Fred) seemed happy enough (to give it)", the parrot replied "Wowee!! If you had his blood, you'd be happy, too!! Whoopee!!", and promptly spun wildly on his perch. BM> DS> Of course, if they're a nudist, soiling clothes is the least of BM> DS> their worries. :P BM>They would be able to pack really-really light! No line at the laundromat. Or be like the woman (blonde??!!) who was stripping butt naked at the laundromat. The sign said "When washer stops, remove all clothes". BM>For a while at the store we had "The Mad er": would poop next BM>to one of the toilets in the Mens Room stalls. Fortunately the BM>Corporate Haz Mat rules prohibited most of us from having to clean it up BM>as we had not gone through the training. That left Management and L.P. BM>Most of supervisors and managers were female, so either couldn't go in BM>or we'd have to close and guard the door for a while. And L.P. was also BM>about half female staff. And the males sometimes didn't have time. BM>Ended up we'd just close and seal the stall door, put an Out of Order BM>sign up, and leave for the Cleaning Crew. Or the cartoon, where the bear is coming out of the woods, and he tells the man "I wouldn't go in there for awhile". BM> DS> Mine is a "HurryCane" that was ordered through the Doctor BM> DS> Leonard's catalog...and my walker may have been ordered through BM> DS> it as well. BM>Hey neat! Has a wheel on the bottom to help it move along! The BM>self-standing feature makes sense: I've and others have leaned their BM>cane against a wall, hung on a counter - bam! falls to the floor. And BM>sometimes that floor is a long ways down!! If I am going to have to stand for a long time, I will take the walker with me. Otherwise, I use the cane. BM>We've had snow the last three nights. Wednesday night got about 1«-2 BM>inches of fairly light snow -- maybe had a top crust: after a while all BM>the specifics run together; just deal with it. Thursday night around 2" BM>but was soggy and heavier. Last night more snow but looks like maybe a BM>«". Is a little foggy out there: sensor here at the house said 99% BM>humidity but I can see the streetlight at the end of the block clearly. BM>Also right at freezing, so don't know yet if icy. Maybe some snow in far north Arkansas later this week, but nothing further south. Meterological Spring starts March 1, with the vernal equinox on March 20 (I think). But, I've seen snow here as late as April 19 on 2 occasions. It didn't stick, but it was "eye candy". However, what moisture was on the roads, froze to black ice overnight. BM>This morning's TV weather forecast indicated the temperatures would stay BM>in the lower 30's all day and tomorrow - I think she likes GFS. The one BM>I get from Norway during the mailrun probably uses ECMWF is indicating BM>around freezing all day then dropping to 20ø overnight. I thought the GFS was cold biased, but lately, it has been the GEM (Canadian). Meteorology is such an inexact science...but so many feel that the weather folks are the only ones who can be wrong, and still keep their jobs.
