Hi Daryl!

 BM> DS>   There's a big stink now with workers of the Whole Health Food
 BM> DS> chains now, with the requirements for their workers.
 BM>Such as?
 DS>   I don't remember the entire story...but I think it has to do
 DS> with inventory and sales.

<chuckle>  That would make sense!  Ideally sell an idea for lots of
money!  Don't need inventory, nor a business site, but rakes in the
moolah.



 BM>Similar for electronics: "as long as the electic supply stays below 124.7
 BM>volts this 0.20 watt resistor will be fine,  Above the smoke gets let
 BM>out."  Used to be the inside of the tube brightens a bit but that was
 BM>all.  ...When I was growing up Dad had a tube-type receiver.  One night
 BM>my Mother and I are smelling 'something hot' but can't locate.  Music is
 BM>playing fine.  Go in and out of the room; eventually come back in and
 BM>notice a glow inside the receiver's cabinet: 25W resistor about the size
 BM>of a cigarette is glowing red hot -- literally!  Don't recall if the
 BM>tubes were also brighter than normal but music was normal.
 DS>   That was a conflagration waiting to happen.

(I haven't heard that word in ages!)  Yes, as soon as I saw the red-hot
resistor shut the system off.  At the time didn't know what was glowing 
but knew it was wrong.  (Filter cap failed, and also took a another
resistor out.  Forgot the wattage of it but was close to the size of a
roll of half-dollars [!!].  IIRC was wire-wound.)


 BM>As long as you don't feel a tugging sensation in your nose you're fine!
 BM>As for the female examiner and assistants, agree.  My primary
 BM>urologist is a male and his physician assistant is female.
 DS>   Like the time I told my late wife that "My head is so far up my
 DS> butt, that I can see my throat!!". Without missing a beat, she
 DS> replied "No wonder your eyes are brown!!" :P

Sounded like a good pairing!

... You don't have to offer a reward to find lost weight.
