Subj : Re: Spammers And More To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Nov 24 2021 20:13:00 Barry, DS> Is the NC looking?? Good, now I can... !@#$%^&*() ERROR: Feed DS> Lost. BM> And that's why the Seven Second Delay is in place! I haven't heard that term in awhile...although there is no such thing on a live newscast. BM> Makes sense. I'm thinking most spammers would not bother with varying BM> the port. Well, it's still a shame we have to work to keep these twits out. BM> But there's nothing like a radar sweep display on a 40" screen! Sort of like the scene in Twister, where they were watching the movie of a tornado...and the real thing ended up hitting the drive thru movie theatre screen!! BM> I'm thinking of a combination of Lemon Law and the 3-day Change Your BM> Mind on Large Purchases (not the real title!) but then also there is BM> that "All Sales Final" one. Well, they said they were working on trying to find the rig that I said I turned in. I told them "I'm not going to lie about something like that", but I think the employee was mad that they lost a customer. Well, with the attitude they had, I had good reason to bolt. BM> Too dirty for even them??!!! (Whoooo!!) As for cleaning, I'm BM> presuming you mean the heavy-duty "Spring Cleaning" but you are doing BM> the keep-up weekly kind. As for whipping around a vacuum, canisters BM> are nice because the only part have to hold is the cleaning head and BM> wand. OTOH the canister itself can get stuck on furniture. As for BM> uprights, Eureka puts out a lightweight model (one drawback is it's BM> fan-first: pick up a pebble or other small item and can break off a fan BM> fin). Stick-vacs are also a consideration. Both. :P The arthritis is really a bear, especially with cold weather. I can't afford to have Molly Maid come by to do the cleaning. One routine that might help the current way of money-handling is BM> to write it down. Not with computer programme but hand-write into a BM> Journal -- things tend to become more real when written by hand as BM> opposed to punching the number keys on the keyboard, It's a hard time reading what I put in the checkbook...no wonder I nearly flunked handwriting 55 years ago. :P BM> Maybe they have a feeling of entitlement?! DS> Entitled to attention, belly rubs, and treats. BM> Yeahhhh! That's the spot! As the tail starts wagging. DS> These thin mint cookies don't taste anything like Girl Scouts. BM> I'm not sure I want to know how you know what a Girl Scout tastes like! No sense of adventure. But, since I had to give up caffeine, tea, candy, etc., I doubt I'll every be able to get those items again. By doing so (to lower the heart rate), my migraines have returned. BM> And here I thought it was your mind being foggy, was just your view BM> through your glasses. Well, licking them won't work. :P BM> Agree, but not for a significiant amount of time. If the dog is BM> pulling that hard the handler is going to be doing something to regain BM> control. If the dog flips you off, you've really got problems. :P DS> You had the balls to go there. BM> I'm trying to be firm and upright! Stand up straight!! BM> We've had minor issues over the years. Anything that looks suspicious BM> (as in potentially broken) I now take a picture of before opening the BM> box, then of the opened box, etc. OTOH have also received unscathed BM> boxes and on opening the air bags inside are completely flattened. It's like with Amtrak's Auto Train. Those are people's cars in the auto carriers, so you can't handle them like gondolas full of scrap metal. BM> OTOH, compare the Walter Cronkheit delivery and pace with the current BM> national newscasters. And, that's the way it is. DS> I saw where a whole slew of illicit drugs was intercepted with DS> a cargo shipment of onion rings. BM> Uses that other definition of 'fried'! That's true. DS> Well, in some cases, to me, the customer doesn't know what DS> they're talking about. BM> BTDT! Dumb Dora and Dumb Donald are so dumb... :P BM> I/we usually had to work opening shift on New Year's Day so wouldn't go BM> anyplace in the evening. (That's one of the problems of having a BM> repution of being responsible!) Might do a dinner and early BM> celebration. Plus I was raised out East, where Midnight is Midnight; BM> out here it's "5-4-3-2-1-Happy New Year!" -- but it's only eleven BM> o'clock!!!
