Barry,
DS> If gotten by phone, it's a tele-tubby. <G>
BM> Nah: they are or were on television!
Never cared for them.
BM> I was reading an article in the Concord (NH) Monitor's e-mail
BM> suggesting in some places having an alternate police option would work
BM> and some small towns and villages would be a good place to experiment
BM> with and tweak the concept. I sort of agree: thinking of the TV show
BM> _Mayberry_ and thigs just worked. Heck, even Otis the town drunk
BM> jailed himself. Don't think it would work when get into the towns size:
BM> people start acting differently. Even I do: here in the Quad Cities
BM> open and friendly, pretty much same in Iowa City. Go to Chicago,
BM> Boston: don't make eye contact, ignore that person walking towards you.
That's another reason for me not wanting to travel outside the
state anymore. Too many are offended too easily. I long for the
days of long ago, when life was simpler, and you didn't have to
worry about locking your doors at night.
DS> we only pick on and razz the ones we care about.
BM> Or the ones we can bully. <ggg>
Great Gargantuan Grin?? <G>
Or as Jose' Jalapeno said about his BMW -- but Peanut said it stood
for "Big Mexican Woman". :P
BM> Yes, as long as everyone agrees the paper or number in the budget has a
BM> value I guess we're OK. No longer backed up by anything other than a
BM> we say so.
Nowadays, the money isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
BM> I'd split. ...I never played the lottery other than when won or
BM> otherwise given tickets but when I was working the prizes were
BM> sometimes approaching a billion and that does spark an inkling of
BM> consideration. For some reason did think if I won I would give my
BM> fellow employees a thousand dollars each. (Not even a hundred, and
BM> over the years dwindled down.) I'd still have plenty of money left,
BM> and the thousand dollars could do quite a bit to yank some out of their
BM> financial holes.
I've lost more than I've won in the lottery, and usually just did the
scratch off tickets. If I can't beat the games on the BBS, what makes me
think I'll beat them in real life??
BM> I'll pretty much be staying home: nothing really to go out there for.
BM> I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning (routine check); usually
BM> go to the grocery store afterwards but half-thinking might skip this
BM> week: don't really need anything; will see what's in the ad.
Wednesday has been "shot" with medical stuff...pun intended. I've
been getting a weekly testosterone shot (my levels would be crashing
otherwise, as the testapel pellents are back ordered for at least
another 2-4 weeks), and a monthly B-12 shots. With the shoulders
hurting from the arthritis, the gleute (butt cheek/hip) is the
target.
BM> We've been getting some rain, which is somewhat unusual as summers tend
BM> to be dry. (Still time for that!)
Severe weather was in the state overnight, with rain and storms this
morning...but storms have stayed to my south.
BM> ... Useless Invention: Waterproof teabags.
It goes with this item...
Daryl
... Useless invention: Electric banana straightener.
