Barry,
BM> Hmm: wonder if that's why mine is chiming all the time?!
My EAS alert went off for the "Amber Alerts" (Child Abduction
Emergencies).
BM> That would be w--. That is just w---. It would be not quite right!
I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong...and I thought I was
wrong, but I was mistaken.
BM> Not always an understanding of English but interpretation. Lots of
BM> regional terms in the U.S. which make sense in one part of the country
BM> but might not in another. "I'll meet you by the bubbler." <other
BM> scratching head> Water fountain - those things one used to be able to
BM> drink from in public!
At one of the overseas hotels, the English translation was "Guests are invited
to take advantage of the chambermaid". <G>
BM> Off-hand with billing I don't know of any regionalisms. LIS in an
BM> earlier message, without seeing the publication I couldn't make any
BM> direct suggestions other than putting the information in a separate box and
BM> make the address large enough.
But, some folks still can't follow directions.
BM> We just discovered why the rats moved in: they though you were one of
BM> them!!
I am having a heck of a time to get Terminix back to remove the dead critters.
They are so busy right now.
DS> Damn...that's probably why the rodents showed up last year. :P
BM> Wee-hee! Cousin Daryl done invit us'ns!!
<grumble!><curse!><swear!>
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.
BM> Makes sense; glad they don't have car drivers do that!!
They do it whether the lights work or not.
DS> While not totally clean shaven, the hair and beard are far
DS> shorter than they were.
BM> Dummy: winter's coming and you'll be chilly until it grows back!
It can grow pretty quick...especially the beard.
BM> That was my Mother watering her plants!
DS> Or the plants complaining, and that's why they were called
DS> "impatience". :P
BM> Nag nag nag!!
NBC -- The Nagging Brat Committee. <G>
BM> Actually good for the agent trying to save you time and money. Some
BM> would just enter your route, take your money, and go on to the next
BM> customer on hold.
I preferred to do the southern route.
BM> Cue Carley Simon: _Anticipation_. ...Oh, that's ketchup, nevermind!
Now, I need to go get some White Castle Cheeseburgers, or the chicken
fries I have in the icebox.
Daryl
