Subj : All PIN Numbers Leaked To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Oct 15 2021 08:15:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Yes, I am usually a decent speller. Wouldn't win the National Spelling BM> Bee, but for everyday I'm decent. Catching my errors in print is the BM> issue. DS> You always need a second set of eyes...because you can look at DS> a document a hundred times, and never see it. But, if someone DS> else looks at it, they spot it right off. The other person can also help with the occasional rephrase: your "look at the document 100 times and never see" I 'goofily' interpreted as looking at/in the vicinity of the paper and still not see it, sort of a "Where's Waldo" situation. ...Considering the source I was expecting a joke follow-up! DS> I can verify that on both sides. My late wife would spot errors DS> in the bulletins on the BBS...and she had poor eyesight anyway. DS> Then, in looking at items sent to me for the square dance DS> publication, I can usually spot errors right off. Yup: at the store they used to have me look at some documents for errors and clarifications. More than not I'd spot a typo in the second or third paragraph almost as soon as they handed the paper to me! BM> They should do what the restaurants had done years ago: masking and BM> non- masking sections! DS> It varies in parts of the country...in some areas, the COVID-19 DS> is rampant, and in other areas, it's not. So, it's either masks DS> are required, or they're at your discretion. In Scott County, IA, where I am and Rock Island County, IL, across the River the various COVID-related levels flucuate up and down but are generally headed downward. For now, anyway. Have read where there's an approximately three month cycle -- was a little difficult to discover as was hidden because of transmission time lags: when peaking in France might just be beginning in Spain, etc. Most of the places I have been going to (excepting medical) are masks optional. Depending on my 'feel' for the place I will or won't wear my mask. And I always wipe the handle of the cart with hand sanitizer (I carry a small bottle in my pocket when I go out). BM> I'm pretty much doing the same: try to bypass their need for me to see BM> their ads. If absolutely must disable my ad blocker I'll do it just BM> for the current session. There's a couple of newspaper sites I get BM> their daily newsletter/synopsis/headlines and have found if I click and BM> get blocked then if I copy the headline and do a Google search it BM> usually can take me to the same site and now allows me the read! DS> When I subscribed to The Miami Herald, once I logged on, I DS> didn't have to worry about ads. While $50 a year was a good deal DS> for the e-Edition only, this year, that was $50 I didn't DS> have...especially with several trips to the Emergency Room in the DS> last 3 months. Yes, only so much money to go around. Unfortunately good arguments to pay for electronic information, mainly they have bills to pay. So do I, and I tends to take precedence. DS> some sites have more ads than Carter has Liver Pills. :P BM> You're showing your age! Better take your Geritol! DS> I remember seeing those on The Lawrence Welk Show...now, that DS> will show my age. In fact, with one of the routines the late DS> Red Skelton did, he asked for his hat from offstage, and they DS> threw it at him. He quipped "Ah Hah!! You've been into my Geritol DS> again!!". Wasn't Geritol taken off the marked because it had a higher percentage of alcohol in it? (Shades of Lucy's 'Vitavegavegamin' episode!) DS> Looks more like no e at the end. :P BM> Told ya I had problems proofreading my own!! DS> See the tagline below. DS> ... All things must come to an en Missing the period at the end of the sentence! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® .... He's gone but unnoticed, like the period after Dr. on a Dr Pepper can. --- MultiMail/Win32 v0.47 þ wcECHO 4.2 ÷ ILink: The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA --- QScan/PCB v1.20a / 01-0462 * Origin: ILink: CFBBS | cfbbs.no-ip.com | 856-933-7096 (454:1/1) .
