Subj : Spammers And More To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Nov 27 2021 07:33:00 Hi Daryl! BM> On the station I usually watch for news they have about a five second BM> delay. DS> I think of a T-Shirt I saw once: DS> "Sarcastic Comment Coming in 3...2...1..." Nice to give a countdown so the other person's mind will be ready! BM> the slider, we put a stop down. They slide down the chimney -- wait, BM> that's Santa. We want him! DS> As long as it's not The Grinch...but I have to admit, Boris DS> Karloff did a great rendition of that. Yes he did! :) Mean/grumpy people might be that way for a reason, one just has to sort of deal with it while figuring out why. BM> Yes, some shops one can feel the attitude, and some times it's a good BM> one and sometimes not. DS> It's a shame...the first few reps were nice as pie, but the DS> last few were real buttholes. :P And the last usually is the one determining how things are thought of the next time. BM> As for the arthritis I'm thinking "a little dab will do ya". No, not BM> grease to slicken the joints but do a little cleaning at a time: vacuum BM> just the Living Room one day, the bedroom the next, etc. Do a small BM> bit at a time to avoid tiring yourself out, Kitchen and bathroom might BM> need more often so do in the morning, take a few hour break, then the BM> Living Room/whatever room. DS> If it's the thought that counts, my place should be immaculate. DS> Hmmmm... sounds like a good tagline. The good news is no one is going to do a White Glove Test. It's better to "oh, he missed that dustbunny" than "ewww! this place is covered in dust!". BM> (Assuming the checkbook ledger, not the carbonless copies.) I print BM> the entry and use every other line. DS> I can either pay online, write a check, or use a debit DS> card...whichever is easier. I have check printing software, and I DS> ordered a special printer, but I could not figure out how to set DS> it up. The directions were pictorial in nature, but no text. So, DS> I wasted $230 on that special printer. A lot of instructions come in graphic form because it seems people can't read and comprehend. And probably that way they don't have to spend the money on translating to a different language (though the rest of the manual is). Personally I prefer a combination, sometimes easier to figure out by words, sometimes a picture, frequently both enhancing each other. As for your check printer, guess water under the bridge by now. ...For 'fun' checked on eBay for selling consideration. Put in 'check printer' but a lot of printers with 'check description' came up so that wasn't helpful. ...Ah! MICR Check Printer! ...Couple of pre-owned at $189.99 anf free shipping and returns (must be a small business' post). Shipping is going to be the big money gulp. BM> Those migranes are from metal or plastic toxicity from licking the BM> frames!! DS> I wonder if I should let my friend's dachshund lick them?? :P Don't want to give the poor pup a headache! BM> Though sometimes that "can't" seems more like "shouldn't". DS> To The Post Office: "DO NOT BEND" is NOT a challenge. :P Delivering it is! (Oooooo!!!) DS> As the song by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet note, "It's 5:00 DS> somewhere". BM> I'll drink to that! DS> There was an older ham radio operator in the area years ago (he DS> has since passed on), but he always would say "I'll Drink To DS> That!!". So, they created an early morning net called the "I'll DS> Drink To That Net". The funny part though, was that it was DS> originally just males (ham radio is a male dominated hobby), but DS> the moment a female ham radio operator showed up, it was like DS> flipping a light switch. The tone of the entire net changed. Higher because before all the guys had deeper voices? ...Oh, wrong 'tone'! BM> ... Have you ever tried to eat a clock? It's very time consuming. DS> Watch it there, Mac. Or maybe we should see if John Cameron DS> Swaze is in the house?? Nah: he should be the one licking your glasses! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
