BM>Hi Daryl!
Hi, Barry...
BM>While I think of it if you want to change Subjects and/or move to BM>ChitChat
feel free.
That's fine...we get carried away.
BM>The building my friend lives in was recently purchased by a new BM>management
company and is undergoing rennovations. For whatever reason BM>everybody has to
move up a flight. He's in 408 so will move to 508 some BM>time in the late
Spring or early Summer. He does have the option to
BM>move to a different apartment, so considering moving to 501 or 502 to
BM>get a better position for his Ham antenna. I also kidded him about the
BM>people currently living on the tenth floor -- do they live on the roof?
The wind is stronger the higher you are.
BM>We had a 'cheesecake sampler' for dessert to the Family Christmas: 12
BM>maybe more) thinnish slices of a variety of cheesecakes. And yes, one
BM>1" wedge is droolingly good but enough.
When my Mom used to prepare the "no bake cheesecake", we'd let that
first bite just sit in our mouth for a few seconds. <G>
BM>I'll admit to also doing the canned frosting thing but but to your
BM>extent:the frosting was already in the cupboard and I was 'going crazy'
BM>looking for something sweet. Don't eat the whole thing at once though.
I don't do that anymore...my sweet tooth now is satisfied either by
Little Debbie Cherry Cordials (sort of like cherry moonpies), or
Neopolitan Ice Cream Sandwiches.
BM>I'm not quite that frequently though sometimes it seems that way!
There were a lot of jokes made about that over the years. Earlier this
year, after complications with kidney stone and prostate surgery (at
least it wasn't cancer), I was having such severe pain and bladder
spasms, that I called 911, for an ambulance run to the Emergency Room. I
was practically in tears, and these 2 good looking young female nurses
came in, and said "You're not going to like us". I said "I'll kiss you
if you make the pain go away!!". They replied "We have the medicine to
do that, but it's a suppository!!". Shall we say they gave a whole new
meaning to the phrase "Shove It!!"?? -- but it did the job!! I now drink
at least 2 liters of flavored water (strawberry or peach flavor) a day
now.
BM>And I did built two Heathkit TVs: a GR-300 for my parents and years
BM>later a GR-3000 for myself.
You got a sense of pride building that stuff.
BM>with certain shades of green, etc., and it wil never look green. I do BM>see
green grass and green leaves.
The pnemonic (sp?) is "Bad Boys Ravish Our Young Girls; But Violet
Gives Willingly". <G> The first letter of each of those words is the
first letter of the colors on the resistor...black, brown, red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, violet, green, white. At one college, the professor
in an electronics class was too embarrassed to tell the female students
what it was. When the male students told the female students, they
laughed and said "That's a great way to remember it!!"...and one of the
women was grinning wryly. When asked what her problem was, she replied
"I'm Violet!!" <BG>. Ironically, I used to work in silkscreen printing
(did that for nearly 20 years, before declining health forced me to
resign)...and the original owner was color blind!!
BM>Well some of the side effects are liveable compared to not taking the
BM>medication - heartburn might be better than death! OTOH yes: the old BM>joke
about "I take this medication for my <medical issue>, take this to BM>combat the
side effects of that medication, take this to combat the side BM>effects of the
previous medication....."
Really.
BM> DS> Such as "Side effects may include death". Well, WTH am I taking
