Subj : Resend Minced Garlic To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Jul 01 2020 09:05:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>>>> Yup, a little auto-pilot is good, except when the wrong auto-pilot NB>>>>> kicks 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... ;) BM>> Late being better than not at all! Of course some people fail to BM>> agree with that detail, no matter the reason. NB>> Sometimes it depends on the situation.... ;) BM> That's true! Great things have happened unexpectedly! NB> Serendipity... Plus attitude. "We're lost!" can result in " now we're going to be late" to "let's enjoy the surprises!". 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 happen NB>>> again... BM>> Right. In one way a compliment to want my answers. The cheating BM>> never occurred to me again; I don't recall any sort of retaliation by BM>> the person who grabbed my paper, so maybe the teacher's punishment was BM>> sufficient, or remorse kicked in..... NB>> Or something.... Possibly the grabbing of the paper was a totally not NB>> planned action that in retrospect even the kid was a bit taken aback NB>> at... ;) BM> In this specific instance probably not as I do recall a couple/few BM> times during that test sessions of whoever the person in front of me BM> was turning around and asking/demanding my paper. That movement and BM> maybe me whispering 'no!' probably alerted the teacher something was up BM> and so saw the other person turning around, grabbing my paper, and me BM> sitting there with a dumbfounded look. NB> I was sorta thinking that the actual grab was unplanned, that he NB> was expecting you to just hand it over.... Probably so, or at least initially. "Gimme your paper!" "?? No." "Gimme!" "No!" NB>>> ... Fatal mouse error. (B)ury or (R)eplace? BM>> Dead mice - yuck! NB>> At least it was probably still intact.... There was a period of NB>> time when the then resident cats here would routinely catch mice NB>> indoors... we could tell which cat had caught which mouse, as one would NB>> eat the head, and leave the rest, the other would bite off the tail NB>> end, ditto... I don't remember any more which did which, though... ;) BM> Semi-gross but a natural event. Hopefully a recent mouse catch isn't BM> what caused the cats their cough and taste-lack episode. NB> Nah... haven't been any mice in the house for probably a couple NB> years now... and neither of these two has ever eaten any mouse or NB> part thereof here... caught and killed, but left entire... and NB> usually, I think, merely scared the mouse to death by playing NB> with it... And so the mouse has decided while a nice place those cats don't make good hosts and so the mouse leaves, leaving a poor review on "Squeek" (the rodent version of Yelp). ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ¯ (Humans know what ® ¯ to remove.) ® ....
