Hi Daryl!
DS> A revision to the revision. :P
BM> That's called 'security updates' and 'fixes' by the computer folks!
DS> Tell me about it...especially the second Tuesday of each month
DS> with Windows update...or the constant updates on my Android
DS> phone!!
Hmm: wonder if that's why mine is chiming all the time?!
DS> Like Fonzie on "Happy Days" who could NOT say the word "WRONG". :P
BM> I rmemeber that episode!
DS> He'd like to forget it. <G>
That would be w--. That is just w---. It would be not quite right!
BM> Potentially too strong of a reaction: in some instances probably best
BM> to get rid of specific problem people. At this point I'm thinking more
BM> of another brain looking at the problem and maybe seeing why the errors and
BM> hopefully figuring out a way to correct.
DS> Well, if they can't understand English (the calls are in
DS> English anywhere in the world), what are they doing in the hobby,
DS> anyway??
Not always an understanding of English but interpretation. Lots of
regional terms in the U.S. which make sense in one part of the country
but might not in another. "I'll meet you by the bubbler." <other
scratching head> Water fountain - those things one used to be able to
drink from in public!
Off-hand with billing I don't know of any regionalisms. LIS in an
earlier message, without seeing the publication I couldn't make any
direct suggestions other than putting the information in a separate box
and make the address large enough.
DS> This is true...I've got enough trash here as it is.
BM> "Next, on _Hoarders_!"
DS> I don't consider myself as one...more of a pack-rat. <G>
We just discovered why the rats moved in: they though you were one of
them!!
DS> Damn...that's probably why the rodents showed up last year. :P
Wee-hee! Cousin Daryl done invit us'ns!!
BM> Worse up here! At one time years ago they were talking about putting
BM> heaters in the lights. Don't think they did but have noticed some
BM> traffic lights' bulbs are solid, so probably incandescent (as opposed
BM> to speckled and so LED).
DS> On the rail lines, if the signal is "dark", you have to stop
DS> the train, and contact the dispatcher to find out if it's safe to
DS> proceed.
Makes sense; glad they don't have car drivers do that!!
BM> Got the Shaved Head Special and now have to wait until it grows back?!
BM> I'm happy with the way they're cutting my hair, especially as I haven't
BM> been going all that regularly because of various excuses including COVID-19
BM> closures, storms, and various crisis d'jours, so come in with more hair
BM> length than should.
DS> While not totally clean shaven, the hair and beard are far
DS> shorter than they were.
Dummy: winter's coming and you'll be chilly until it grows back!
DS> Or like the sign that noted "If you can smell the fart, you're
DS> too close". :P
BM> That was my Mother watering her plants!
DS> Or the plants complaining, and that's why they were called
DS> "impatience". :P
Nag nag nag!!
BM> (Whew! Thought for a sec the discount was because "we get you there,
BM> you find your own way back!".)
DS> I had to explain to the agent that "I did my research on this
DS> beforehand". They wanted to me to go the northern route, but I'd
DS> rather spend the night in New Orleans than Chicago.
Actually good for the agent trying to save you time and money. Some
would just enter your route, take your money, and go on to the next
customer on hold.
DS> $301. I couldn't have gotten that via bus or air. So, I will get
DS> that final train trip after all.
BM> Good deal!!
DS> I'm counting the days. <G>
Cue Carley Simon: _Anticipation_. ...Oh, that's ketchup, nevermind!
