Barry,
DS> They said a revision was posted, but I've never found it.
BM> You have the revision! You should have seen how it worked before!!
A revision to the revision. :P
BM> thing left is the thumbnails.
Hangnails are bad enough. Oops...wrong kind of nail. :P
BM> Some people just can't believe their opinion or version isn't the right
BM> one.
Like Fonzie on "Happy Days" who could NOT say the word "WRONG". :P
DS> Well, the organization president has offered to "deal with the
DS> guilty parties" who make the checks out wrong, or complain about
DS> the deadlines.
BM> Good.
I told him that if they didn't respond to a second renewal...or screw it
up more than once, we shouldn't mess with them anymore.
DS> letter will be sent out, noting "that's the final print
DS> issue...the organization is now broke".
BM> Unfortunately yes. Printing costs are relatively astronomical. While
BM> its nice to physically have it to read it ultimately ends up in
BM> recycling.
This is true...I've got enough trash here as it is.
DS> country, and have a lot of cattle. It is apparently "calving
DS> time", so she hasn't had a chance to mail me that check yet. But,
DS> I told her "I'm not having a cow over the delay". <BG>
BM> You would!
I just could not resist that pun. :P
DS> Well, I heard 2 farmers talking the other day, and one said he
DS> had to get a bull to SERVICE his cows.
DS> BINGO!! The light came on (no wonder my butt is so sore :P ) !!
BM> Next time use an LED: puts out much less heat with just as good if not
BM> better illumination!
They had switched the traffic signals to LED's, but I've noted that they
have gone back to the "old bulbs". The LED's may last longer, but they
don't generate heat...so in the winter time, if there's a heavy winter
storm, you can't see the signal color.
DS> And so many want "something for nothing".
BM> They did it to themselves - both sides. Why should I pay for
BM> something if I can get it for free, but then I want a paycheck because
BM> I'm not going to work for free. It's one thing if someone wants to do
BM> for free but still has to have some income to be able to do for free.
Six of one, half a dozen of another.
BM> The good news is now someone else deals with the problem. Well, at
BM> least the end portion. You still have to receive and send on the
BM> errant mail but hopefully will lessen, and hopefully you are being paid
BM> / re-imbursed for the forwarding costs.
Well, I can submit that to the Board for reimbursement.
DS> that, I think). The reaction was that some dancers were about to
DS> poop their pants -- I had to jump in, and offer a correction!! :P
BM> Well they do say to go in high with the initial amount! The other
BM> person generally wants to pay low so there is negotiation room.
Back to "something for nothing". It reminds of the old "Popeye" cartoon, where
Popeye and Brutus (he was originally named Bluto) were having dueling
gas prices. They're trying to see which one has the cheaper gas...so Brutus goes
down to 1 cent...and the only way Popeye can beat that is go to FREE
(he growled "he really gave me the business"). :P
BM> (You got the check with the right amount, you get the check with the
BM> wrong amount, you got an unsigned check -- doesn't matter, you got a
BM> check and shouldn't have.)
Well, on the new renewal form/Reminder Card, it will show exactly where
it should be mailed. So, if they don't follow it, then they're careless
or lazy.
BM> My former barber-sylist retired about two years ago; she had been
BM> checking the competion all along in her career but really checked them
BM> out prior to retiring to give her clients a suggestion of where to go.
That Great Clips one is great. At least I won't need it again for a bit.
BM> The trouble with the bumper stickers is the people who should be
BM> reading them are too close and so can't see them!
Or like the sign that noted "If you can smell the fart, you're too close".
:P
BM> Suppose that's better than the typo the boss made at the store for a
BM> sign advertising flannel shirts and missed the 'r'!!
It was like on the board at a McDonald's "Now hiring smiling faces for
afternoon [shifts]" -- but they had forgot the f in shifts. :P
BM> The other thing is you have given AmTrack money --for services later
BM> but is helping them now get through a tough financial period.
Well, I lucked out. With the Guest Rewards Points I had, I was able to
get a multi-segment run -- 3 segments for each segment. It'll be from:
1) Little Rock, AR to San Antonio, TX
2) San Antonio, TX to New Orleans, LA
3) New Orleans, LA to Jackson, MS
(then the same in reverse on the return trip).
Each segment has the handicapped accessible bedroom, with the in-room
toilet and sink, and it's on the lower level, so I don't have to go up
the narrow steps. The car attendant will bring me complementary soft
drinks (ginger ale) through the trip, and the meals...so, I don't have
to leave the compartment until I get to the end of each segment. The
Guest Rewards points paid for 5 of the 6 segments...and the last leg
of the trip, my total cost was $301. I couldn't have gotten that via
bus or air. So, I will get that final train trip after all.
DS> Like the tagline: "How can you eat one of God's Creatures?? In
DS> sandwiches". Maybe I should eat fish for lunch. <G>
BM> That's what the shark was thinking when nibbling on a human!
Or the one where the athiest ended up falling into shark infested waters,
and he cried out "God Help Me!!". The Lord appeared, and said I can either
make you a Christian, or make the shark one. The athiest, was not willing
to give up his unbelief, and the shark folded his fins, and intoned "I thank
thee, Dear Lord, for the food which You have so graciously provided". <G>
BM> No such 'fun rides' here. She did like to 'go surfing': put the
BM> newspaper down on the carpet and she'd run, jump on the paper, and
BM> slide!
That's funny.
