Subj : Various Things To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Mar 23 2022 06:58:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Right: seeking more a companion to share time with. ...Give-and-take BM> on the details: you like soaps? I don't. I'll do my copmuter stuff BM> while you watch your soaps. DS> Dial, Palmolive, Camay, etc. Lava! BM> Agree. With my luck the nurse would have recorded "R as in Robert, O BM> as in Oscar, D as in dummy...." GAA! Was that 'dummy' or 'tummy'??!! DS> I have to change them to other words, as most folks have no DS> clue what the ITU alphabet is. Especially when you use words like 'knee', 'pheumonia', and 'xylophone'! BM> Or go when need to and if someone happens to call when I'm unavailable BM> they get to talk to the machine. DS> Never mind "talk to the hand". There are times.... BM> Early morning of Saturday March 19th as I type: prior forecaste were BM> for some snow this morning but looks like that's going to be in NE BM> Iowa; here in east-central Iowa rain. Just above freezing currently; BM> tomorrow's high almost 70ø! DS> I've seen snow as late as April 19 in Little Rock on 2 DS> occasions. And, a few years ago, on Mother's Day Weekend, they DS> got over a half foot of snow in northwest Arkansas. The gardeners DS> were furious!! Well I can sort of see that! Not much they can do about it though other than maybe cover, though with 6" of snow it's either cover and hope the ground has warmed up sufficiently and the plants don't get squished by the cover + snow or not cover and hope for the best. BM> I'll admit to preferring to do certain types of shopping in-person so BM> biases my answers. :) Grocery shopping is one: I'll gravitate towards BM> a bunch of slightly green bananas if I have one or two left here or BM> more yellow ones if none here at the house. ...The ad had navel oranges BM> for $1.99 a pound -- looking around, saw a different type of orange for BM> $1.87 so decided on those -- can't do that remotely! DS> That's true. Plus, the tagline below applies. DS> ... Cakes: 66 cents. Upside Down Cakes: 99 cents. How old is that tagline?! They barely sell cupcakes for that price! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® .... Wife says you never buy her flowers. Him: Didn't know she sold flowers. --- 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) .
