Subj : Re: Support And Scams To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Jul 28 2020 09:57:00 Barry, DS> Is more than one ba a tuba?? BM> Possibly, and an extra large one is a tubby! If gotten by phone, it's a tele-tubby. BM> Ah: you've seen those commercials! In general I think the 'defund the BM> police' is wrong -- who is going to protect from burgulars, etc.? I do BM> agree some officers, probably some police departments, are overzealous, BM> use excessive force, and that needs to be corrected. There are bad apples in every barrel...race, occupation, gender, etc. BM> I couldn't do emergency type calls: I don't like stress so tend to BM> avoid it; I tend to take some things personally and get me BM> off and there can be an explosion. Same here. Now, when Nancy Backus said in a message, in response to the QWK Tagline "I took an IQ test, and the results were negative"...she typed "that explains a lot ". I admit I left myself wide open for that, and she said "I hope you realized it was all in fun"...and I said "I had to chuckle". But, we only pick on and razz the ones we care about. BM> Yes, I wouldn't mind a little more 'free' money, though I do tend to BM> wonder where this money is coming from. Checkbooks only have so much BM> black ink. States balance their budgets...but on the federal level, there hasn't been one since Clinton was in there. To me, the lowest point of his presidency was the zipper on his pants...he did "blow the job" with Monica. DS> You'll win the lottery, and spend all the winnings on the DS> Sysop, and their BBS. BM> Ah! That doesn't work between competing Sysops. :P BM> Hmm: sticky-up mass of semi-reasonably conductive protoplasm, pushing BM> around a metal mass.... Good thing wearing sneakers and the lawn mover BM> has rubber wheels!! DS> With the gasoline in it, any extra spark will cause an DS> explosive fire. BM> Just adds to the event! That was part of Jeff Dunham's routine with Achmed and A.J. :P Achmed should've known not to use his cellphone. BM> That was considerate of you. There are people in worse situations. Thank you. With the money at the store this morning, and 3 outstanding bills, which I have the money to pay for, I'm officially bankrupt until Monday. But, at least I have food and drink here. The thing is, with the stormy weather forecast, after today, I'm going out for the weekly Low-T shot in the morning, but then I probably will stay home until next Monday. DS> Or, "show me a home where the buffalo roam...and I'll show you DS> a home full of buffalo [dung]". :P BM> This carpet feels so soft and squishy! And, it's tan colored as well. :P BM> We've been under a "First Alert Day" this weekend: air temperature in BM> the low 90's and heat indices just over 100ø. Today (Sunday) more of BM> the same. Woke up to 76ø which I think is the warmest wake-up-to BM> temperature this year. Moderate fire danger exists in northwest Arkansas, but the northern part of the state is forecast to get a lot of rain the rest of the week. If the cold front moves further into the state, the heavy rain axis will be across my area. DS> The birds always wait until you're done washing it, before they DS> bomb it!! BM> That way they new shot doesn't get confused and mingled with the old! I'm glad I don't drive a convertible. :P DS> No [dung] -- or would that be plenty of it?? :P BM> Well I tend to create sufficient! If you eat a lot, especially fiber, I would think so. Daryl ....
