Subj : All PIN Numbers Leaked To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Sat Oct 16 2021 10:45:00 Barry, BM> The other person can also help with the occasional rephrase: your "look BM> at the document 100 times and never see" I 'goofily' interpreted as BM> looking at/in the vicinity of the paper and still not see it, sort of a BM> "Where's Waldo" situation. ...Considering the source I was expecting a BM> joke follow-up! I think there's even a town in Arkansas by that name. I know there is one in Florida, and it's near Gainesville. BM> Yup: at the store they used to have me look at some documents for BM> errors and clarifications. More than not I'd spot a typo in the second BM> or third paragraph almost as soon as they handed the paper to me! I tell folks that I can't catch everything, but my eyes have been trained to catch quite a bit. BM> In Scott County, IA, where I am and Rock Island County, IL, across the BM> River the various COVID-related levels flucuate up and down but are BM> generally headed downward. For now, anyway. Have read where there's BM> an approximately three month cycle -- was a little difficult to BM> discover as was hidden because of transmission time lags: when peaking BM> in France might just be beginning in Spain, etc. There are likely far more strains and mutations out there than we know about...or that they're telling us about. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they are intentionally creating and releasing new strains "to keep people stuck at home". What angers us is that the folks that say we are to keep our masks on, are caught outside without any mask...basically, "a double standard". So, it boils down to "if they won't wear a mask, why should I??". It basically is "they won't practice what they preach"...making them nothing more than hypocrites. BM> Most of the places I have been going to (excepting medical) are masks BM> optional. Depending on my 'feel' for the place I will or won't wear my BM> mask. And I always wipe the handle of the cart with hand sanitizer (I BM> carry a small bottle in my pocket when I go out). That's not a bad idea...I've got small hand sanitizer bottles here, that I originally was going to take on a train trip...but I never got to do that. And, with my health going down (more like plunging off a waterfall), I don't travel outside of central Arkansas anymore. Never mind I can't afford it. BM> Yes, only so much money to go around. Unfortunately good arguments to BM> pay for electronic information, mainly they have bills to pay. So do BM> I, and I tends to take precedence. It is extremely rare that I write a check anymore. Most all of my bills are paid via electronic funds transfer. My debit card expires next month, and I've been hassled by these utility companies, etc. about it. I've already contacted the bank, and they said they'll issue a new one the second week of November. So, I tell these folks that "the ball is in the bank's court"...and until they issue the new card, my hands are tied. The bank did say that the card is valid through the end of the month, even though it's shown to expire. BM> Wasn't Geritol taken off the marked because it had a higher percentage BM> of alcohol in it? (Shades of Lucy's 'Vitavegavegamin' episode!) I don't know...that "Lucy Episode" was a scream. Apparently, that's also where Red Skelton got his idea for Guzzler's Gin...and Lucille Balls' deal became more famous than Guzzler's Gin. Yet, Red noted that he and Lucille Ball "were great friends". 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 BM> Missing the period at the end of the sentence! Never mind the letter "d". Daryl .... A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (454:1/33) .
