Subj : Health Scare To : BARRY MARTIN From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Apr 19 2020 11:13:00 Barry, BM> DS> This feels strange...typing via QWK Mail instead of email. BM>This must have been your first entry -- mine started with ChitChat and BM>ended here. Was surprised to see you as you indicated May 1. So BM>welcome back, the ballons and streamers are on back order! I htnik some BM>of the streamers have been used for masks. I think it was. I think they repurposed the balloons for whoopee cushions. :P Everything else is back ordered, so why not?? BM>One does not want to have to wait until the smoke clears because that BM>means something happened to let the smoke out in the first place! I discovered some password errors, but others changed their address, so I can't connect. BM>"You'd think those humans would learn to quit parking under wires and BM>trees!" A few days ago we had a bird constantly trying to fly through BM>the Dining Room picture window -- you'd think he'd get the idea after BM>the first fifty tries! Ended up taping strips of aluminum foil to the BM>window and that eventually worked. At first no breeze so the strips BM>just hung there. Bird came back - looked around trying to figure out BM>what this shiny stuff was. Even sat on the window sill and looked in, BM>looking sad, but eventually flew off. Hopefully, he's going to go bother someone else. BM>...Um, weak attempt to be topical - wonder if those aluminum strips BM>blowing in the breeze gave the 'wow-wow-wow' effect like the rotating BM>speakers in organ speaker? I don't know. I noted one of the snowflake knitted deals my late Mom did years ago on the branch of a tree in the front yard. I just haven't felt like moving it. BM>Could try one of those 'Squatty Potties' to elevate the feet. Designed BM>to wrk with the anatomical configuration of the intestines but would BM>keep pressure off the nerves and muscles of the hamstring area, Never heard of that. I know there are "raised toilet seat" deals to make it easier to sit and stand. I may have to look into one. BM>As for the New Madrid Fault shift, wasn't nearly that bad up here. I BM>thought someone slammed a door (living at the apartment at the time). BM>Someone was waiting in their pickup and thought a kid jumped on the BM>tailgate but didn't see anyone. I think Little Rock will fare much better than Memphis or St. Louis will.
