Nancy,

NB> DS> good sandwich snack. Just put it between 2 pieces of bread, add
NB> DS> mustard, bacon bits, etc., and it's lunch time.

NB>OK...

  I had bought a bunch of Funions onion ring snacks, and just scarfed a
good bit of them down.

NB>True.  Our mechanics would have let us take the car home in a similar
NB>situation.... as they say, they know where we live, so they trust us to
NB>come up with the money in good time... meanwhile, they don't have to
NB>store the vehicle....  

  Unfortunately, not everyone is honest. I was 2 cents short paying for
a purchase at the Post Office today, and the clerk said (I hope
sarcastically) "I'll lock your Post Office Box until you give me my 2
cents". 

NB>I understand that after a certain age, the reviews stretch to 8 years...
NB>and once you turn 65 or so (maybe just 62), the disability turns into
NB>regular retirement, and there aren't any more reviews...

  Really?? I resigned from work in 2004, and applied for disability...it
was granted in 2006, retroactive. So, I had to do a "review" in 2009 and
2014...so by rights, there should be another one this year. All I'd have
to do is send in a 12 page medical list, and they'd see why I can't work
again.

NB>There are some things that do work against being able to serve as a
NB>juror... 

  One guy said he'd get out by saying "I can spot a guilty [insert
race/ethnic group here] halfway across a room"...but I would've said
"Only The Lord and the defendant know whether or not they're guilty. If
they are guilty, and are acquitted by a jury of their peers, they'll
fare much worse when they die. So, they might as well save us all the
time and trouble, and confess now". 

NB>Hopefully you will be able to get that last chance...  

  I sure hope so.

NB>And are probably less of a danger to the environment...

  True. Next thing you know, they'll be declaring sidewalks as
hazardous.  Well, they are, if you're enamored in your smartphone, and
not paying attention to where you're going. One woman was that way, and
walked into the side of a moving train. Another doing similar, tripped
and fell into a public fountain.

NB> DS> Tragically, Steve was killed by a sting from a stingray a few years
NB> DS> ago.

NB>Yes, I remember all that...  

  I still miss him. Everyone thought he'd get killed by a crocodile, and
not a stingray.

NB> DS> Steve finally went up to the camera, and said "Would you all just go
NB> DS> away??!!" <G>.

  When one of the TV anchors was killed in a car wreck, the entire crew
was in tears. But, they noted "we have to show these bloopers", and it
made everyone smile.

NB>As you know, I'm not a fan of Windows... and am still happily using
NB>DOS...  Richard uses mostly DOS, and has installed Linux on some of his
NB>machines which he uses second most.... Some of his machines do have
NB>Windows, partly because there are times when he has to check something
NB>out on multiple platforms... and partly because for some things one has
NB>to use something from Windows to do certain things on the web... I've
NB>learned that Windows10 can be useful for a few things... at least the
NB>machine he has with the Win10 is a touchscreen, which makes things a
NB>little less upsetting for me...

  I still don't know if I want to bite the upgrade bullet.

NB> DS> ■ OLX 1.53 ■ The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.

NB>Only because you can't reach it to subdue it... 

  That's why I have a portable backscratcher. <G>

NB>... A bird in the hand makes it hard to blow your nose.

  Or get feathers shoved up your olfactory. 

Daryl
