Subj : FWIW - Shingrix To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Jun 26 2020 15:53:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>> The metals they use for osteo implants aren't generally of that NB>>> sort anyway... they usually don't trigger the security machines NB>>> at airports and federal buildings either... :) BM>> Right and right. Just would be one of those "neat party tricks". As BM>> for the scanning machines not being triggered, I have and haven't BM>> triggered them. I don't think the scanners trigger but the X-Ray type BM>> do -- I just try to remember to mention there's a rod in there before BM>> going through. NB>> I've generally done the same, unless it's something I go through often NB>> enough that I figure they might remember me from the last time... like NB>> the courthouse where the probate for Mommy's estate is being handled... BM> Makes sense. May not know by name but by sight would be a little BM> silly to constantly remind the guard. Now if 'daily' and the metal BM> implant was setting the alarm off I'd probably kid with them about BM> "ready?! [beep-beep-beep!]". NB> They'd see you coming and start smiling... ;) Yup! And the rest of the people in line would wonder what was going on! BM>>>> ...No candy this week; semi-splurged on a giant muffin sale. One a BM>>>> four-pack of "Double Dutch Chocolate" and the other a four pack of BM>>>> -- came up on the receipt as "BLBRY" so probably blueberry though I BM>>>> don't recall getting blueberry, nor blackberry. Thought I got a BM>>>> Snickerdoodle, or at least was considering. Guess will be BM>>>> a surprise! Did have a Double Dutch Chocolate one last BM>>>> night -- goooood!! Tasted like it had a billion calories! NB>>>> Sometimes the store barcode will be slightly off... I've seen it NB>>>> happen before.... the right general item, but not the right NB>>>> 'flavor'... or maybe you reached for a Snickerdoodle, but there was NB>>>> a blueberry in the way that managed to get into your cart.... ;) BM>>> Right, or even the wrong barcode applied. The 'mystery muffins' are BM>>> still frozen so no idea what it really is. NB>>> Packaged in freezer paper so one can't see through it easily, eh...? BM>> No wonder I can't find them! And still somewhere in one of the BM>> freezers: couple/few weeks ago they had a cheesecake on sale for $8.99 BM>> so got that - yum! Last Thursday had a cherry and Oreo (separate BM>> flavours!) cheesecake on sale for $2.99 (smaller than the $8.99 one). BM>> Was going to get one or the other but decided what the heck so BM>> splurged and purchase one of each. NB>> Just couldn't pass that bargain up... They both sound rather NB>> tasty.... all eaten up yet....? BM> The cheesecakes were schnarfed down in two servings each. Worth the BM> splurge-price. :) Don't want to do it all the time as takes away the BM> surprise/fun aspect. NB> Besides, it's a splurge, so more than one would usually spend... NB> ;) Plus the item. Some things should never be a whiney "agaaaaaaaain?"! Oh, the "are they really blueberry jumbo muffins?" I had purchased a while back and were frozen were blueberry. And good! Warmed in the microwave, a bit of butter. Had to be eaten by fork as too tender- crumbly to eat by hand. NB> ...
