Subj : virus stuff To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Aug 24 2020 07:49:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Never mind the name of the TV show, perfect vision, or this DS> year. :P BM> As I write this yesterday was August 20th, so August 20, 2020, or BM> 082020. or something like that! DS> What was dangerous was that if you just noted the year on your DS> checks as "20" instead of "2020", someone could put a different DS> number after it...and you could be in big trouble for it. Possibly! Might be able to prove the forgery as the check was deposited out of sequence and the date was usually written with a two digit date rather than four. I use a dater stamp -- not to be fancy but a habit and convenience I got into when working at the college and most if not all of my documents had to be dated as to when I worked on them. Started getting into the habit of grabbing the stamp to date and in some case post the time. Eventually carried that to notes I did at home. DS> When I take citrate of magnesia, it hits within 10 minutes. BM> Why am I thinking of a boxing match between snails? First one throws a BM> punch, takes 10-15 minutes to make contact with the second. DS> Sounds like playing a 78 rpm record at 16 rpm. :P Just about! ...Reminded me of this: https://universes.art/en/specials/john-cage-organ-project-halberstadt ORGAN2/ASLSP, the slowest and longest music piece ever, is being performed for 639 years in Halberstadt (Germany). Next tone change: 5 September 2020. Performance started in 2001 with a 17 month pause before the first note heard!! DS> What I wanted to do was get it up to $1, with the gas for $1.15 a DS> gallon regular wise...then with the discount, get it for 15 cents DS> a gallon, take a photo of it, and watch it go viral . BM> You are such a trouble-maker! DS> Just in one of my devious nether moods. You can't tell me that DS> you don't have them. I'm sure that Nancy Backus has these as DS> well...like in response to my QWK Mail Tagline of "I took an IQ DS> test, and the results were negative"...her response to it was DS> "That explains a lot ". She said later "I hope you knew DS> that was in fun", and I said "Yes"...I busted out laughing when I DS> read it...but I was asking for it. I must have missed that message when you requsted... -- oh, not literally. Nevermind! BM> Just remember not to do your SSTV (Slow Scan TV) while everything is in BM> the laundry! DS> Well, I decided to do laundry yesterday, instead of going to an DS> area Train Show. Because of COVID-19, everyone had to wear masks, DS> and there was no food or drink for sale. The Saturday show is DS> bigger than the Sunday one, but I felt doing laundry was more DS> important. Yes! So did you go on Sunday? Sometimes the smaller shows are just as good if not better than the big ones as less of a crowd and so a better opportunity to see up-close. BM> Glad nothing was damaged. Maybe get into the habit of blowing your BM> nose every so often to clear the sinuses? Or a small candy like a BM> TicTac to keep your throat moistened when starting to feel an episode BM> coming on? DS> I go through throat losenges like they were candy. I bought 6 DS> packs of 200 losenges from Walgreens last week. Maybe vary amongst brands? More importantly formulations. Thinking maybe as often as your taking them your body is getting used to the anti-cough medication in one and so loosing effectiveness. DS> Or like a girl who had the hiccups after eating a certain DS> food...she didn't want that food anymore, as it made her cough DS> funny. :P Plus she should have been havign she-cups as males get he-cups! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
