Joe,
JM> Since the age of 18 I have kept a daily journal of my life. (I would
JM> say diary, but that sounds a little girlish). Save for three periods
JM> of my life every day is recorded. If I should write my memoirs it
JM> would be rather easy, just look up the event as it
I did a similar thing in junior high school drama class...it was called
"a sensitivity notebook". Sometimes, those diaries run so long, it's as if
they become diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain...never mind
the content is rather crappy. :P
JM> Yes she was.
There'll never be another one like Nancy Backus .
JM> One summer I was part time cashier at a local amusement park.
JM> Admission at the time was 25 cents. (They made up for that on costs of
JM> rides, concessions, etc).
I can imagine so. I remember going to the fair, and going by these games
of chance. You keep hearing "Winner!! Winner!! Winner!! Don't they ever
lose??!!"...and there isn't a soul up there.
JM> Occasionally a group of people would come in and I would count heads
JM> then pretend to add them up in my head. They were amazed I could sound
JM> an odd number with the right amount so quickly. They didn't know there
JM> was a cheat sheet taped to the register and
JM> "Forty seven people in your group? That'll be (slight pause)$11.75"
Nowadays, restaurants are charging the 20% gratuity BEFORE you get your
food, and I've seen people turn around and walk out of the restaurant. Or,
they give them a business card, with printing on both sides. On one side, it
protests their "tip policy"...but on the other, it gives 3 tips:
1) Plant your corn early.
2) Keep your powder dry.
3) Always have clean underwear on.
JM> Sometimes I'll read something that was done or said and think "Can't
JM> say or do that these days".
We're not as young as we used to be.
> So you're a Yankee?
JM> Sir, I take that as a personal insult and request your appearance
JM> tomorrow at sunrise on a field of honour. :)
That reminds me of the Tex Avery cartoon, where the wolf is the new
"schoolteacher". He has them paint up an American Flag, and notes "That's
right pretty"...then says "Wait a minute!! You forgot the stars!!". At
that point, one of the "Droopy Dogs" hits him on the head with a bat, and
there are the stars!! To which, the wolf growls "There's a d@mn Yankee in
this crowd".
JM> W is east of the Mississippi (except KDKA in Pittsburgh and maybe
JM> one or two others) and K is west of the Mississippi.
JM> Matters not if north or South.
I think KDKA was the first commercial radio station.
JM> Opinions are no longer allowed, unless they agree with current group
JM> think.
And, the moderators opinions.
JM> The same science that says men can have babies, etc?
Or these people who think pregnancy is a side effect from having sex??
What do you think the ACT was designed for??!! Hello??!! :P
JM> Most of us are too old to do any serious fighting, esp when its near
JM> nap time. :)
JM> Seek and you shall find. That's the way it is here.
Well, I've looked for money here, and I haven't found any. Besides,
I'm only one step away from being rich...all I need is money.
JM> I've been a mod for years and have never had to step in on a
JM> conversation. But then we are a much smaller group than in years past.
JM> I think the worse I've had to do is write something "that's a bit too
JM> close to current events. (And I may need to give myself a warning re:
JM> the lines above about science...)
I could say something right now, but discretion is the better part of
valor.
Daryl
... All those updates, and still imperfect!!!
