Subj : Other Ham Radio News To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Nov 11 2021 07:15:00 Hi Daryl! BM> True, and I'll admit to having been and sometimes still are in that BM> category. We all have to learn sometime. DS> And, everyone was a beginner at one time. That's for certain! I think a lot of people forget they once didn't know when communicating with others. I don't think it's wise to 'talk down' but rather to bring the other person up. (Looks like I sort of did that in the next paragraph: I used a word I was pretty sure you knew the meaning of (tachycardia) but as not sure anf can't get visual clues through text immediately gave a definition.) BM> The good news is he obtained that rating. :) As for the tachycardia BM> (increased pulse rate), I think you're just scared to eat chocolate, BM> drink tea, etc. and so it's the Fight or Flight Reaction that's making BM> your blood mover go pidder-patter-pidder-patter! Seriously, BM> people do have 'odd' reactions to stuff. DS> They say everything in moderation, but the term moderation is DS> relative. I like to do everything in moderation, including moderation!! :) BM> That would be a nasty surpise! :( DS> Sort of like the opening sequence in one of the James Bond DS> movies. They're moving slow with a funeral dirge through the DS> French Quarter in New Orleans, and this guy asks "Whose funeral DS> is it??". A thug whips out a weapon, and says "Yours"...and DS> promptly murders the guy. Sometimes it doesn't pay to get nosey. BM> Dye from you new jeans coming off?! DS> I haven't worn jeans in ages. Some people find them unconfortable. BM> That might be partially a regional thing: I tend to drink (hot) coffee DS> I never acquired a taste for coffee or other hot drinks. I could see that: not everyone has the same taste buds, etc. Or even parents didn't 'do' coffee/hot drinks so you probably wouldn't just because they didn't. BM> If you meal is fighting back you haven't cooked it enough! DS> I use the Biblical approach to cooking: "Well Done, Thou Good DS> And Faithful Servant". I'm more like the cannibal (they got a bad rap for eating missionaries!) and prefer medium-rare. (Or as Fred Mertz said in the seance scene: "Well done, Medium Rayah!" BM> But now we'll have to go from butts to breasts as Turkey Season is BM> coming up! DS> Two memes come to mind on that: DS> 1) A turkey asks "Do you love me just for my breasts??". DS> 2) A turkey with a peg-leg, is munching on a turkey drumstick DS> that he just took out of the oven, and he says "OMG!! I *AM* DS> Delicious!!" ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
