Subj : Resend Re: Minced Garlic To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Jun 15 2020 17:34:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>> Yup, a little auto-pilot is good, except when the wrong auto-pilot NB>>> kicks in.... ;) And too much change-up is stressful, as the mind NB>>> never does get a chance to settle in.... ;) BM>> Right. Some auto-piloting is good to take care of the routine but one BM>> does want to live and be aware of that moment. NB>> And not wonder, now just How DID I get here... ;) BM> Went straight a bit, turned right at what at the time you thought was BM> your exit, straight, a left, two rights and another left.... NB> And ended up at the wrong destination... just a very familiar one... ;) BM> Guess while I'm here....! NB> Unless you are late for the proper destination... ;) Late being better than not at all! Of course some people fail to agree with that detail, no matter the reason. BM> I don't know but would make sense. And of course there's the question BM> of how much of a substitution? Use the out of Hy-Vee Green Tea from BM> the previous message as an example. Would I go for a different brand, BM> or wait until next week when possibly back in stock, or go for a BM> variety pack, or.... NB> It's that sort of consideration that makes me figure I might as NB> well be doing my own shopping... or I might have to make some NB> sort of a decision ahead of time for each item on the list... NB> Might as well just go and do it myself... I'd also just as soon do my own grocery shopping. I can understand others' reasons as to not do their own shopping, just for me makes more sense to do my own. Might change my mind if I had had a personal shopper, or one assigned to me and eventually we trained each other on my preferences. ...For some reason thinking a bunch of bananas. I have been going for the cheaper store brand just to save 20-30› per pound. To me a banana is a banana. There are times when I buy the shorter/smaller bananas over the regular sized ones because the shorter ones are more ripe and I would like to start eating them tomorrow morning. Other times I'll buy a slight green regular-sized bunch because I have a banana or two still left and so don't need the new ones right away. Try training a shopper for that decision! BM>>> I remember being cheated off of once in school: person in front of me BM>>> wanted my paper, I either ignored or said no, went back to doing the BM>>> test. Next I know my paper was grabbed by the person in front, I'm BM>>> just looking in disbelief - do recall seeing the teacher had seen the BM>>> incident and indicating not to worry about it. Whoever in front gave BM>>> me the paper back, I just continued the test. Don't recall after that BM>>> - I didn't get in trouble, assume the other person did. Maybe seat BM>>> assignment changes - multiple to not make obvious? NB>>> At least that sort of thing couldn't be happening with the kids all NB>>> doing school from home... ;) Could be that the offender got moved NB>>> to a different classroom altogether... or was disciplined outside of NB>>> the classroom.... detention, maybe... or being suspended....? BM>> Possibly. Seems more the taken aside and talked to and possibly BM>> detention as I don't recall anybody in class suddenly missing. And I BM>> didn't suddenly get picked on because of the incident. NB>> I guess the kid figured out that he'd been in the wrong and did shape NB>> up, then... :) BM> Possibly. LIS, I don't remember anything unusual/different following BM> I don't even remember avoiding or confronting anyone for the cheating. NB> Just as well to just let it ride, especially since it didn't NB> happen again... Right. In one way a compliment to want my answers. The cheating never occurred to me again; I don't recall any sort of retaliation by the person who grabbed my paper, so maybe the teacher's punishment was sufficient, or remorse kicked in..... NB> ...
