    JM>    I found out later the "important" work she had to was playing games   
    JM> on her computer.   
    JM>    She would only go out when the weather was nice, in the 65-78 range   
    JM> and sunny.  Even then it was only for an hour or so.   
      
     Sounds like "a fair weather worker". :P   
      
    JM>    One day the chief of police was in our office "suggesting" Debbie go   
    JM> out and ticket.  She replied she would and kept on playing.  He told   
    JM> her a couple of more times she should do something, each time more   
    JM> sternly.   
    JM>    She finally grabbed a ticket book, stomped out and returned an hour   
    JM> later and back to her games.   
      
     They should've swapped out her phone or battery. :P   
      
    JM>    She is the one I replaced and few were sorry to see her leave.   
      
     You can go home and play all the games you want...you're fired. :P   
      
    JM>   I don't have a lot invested and frankly don't recall what the money   
    JM> is in.  Half is in bonds.  Pays little but safe, and half is in the   
    JM> market.   
      
     You'd do better with Monopoly money. :P   
      
    JM>   One has to be in for the long haul and not get jumpy when the market   
    JM> goes up and down like it does.  Just hang on and enjoy the roller   
    JM> coaster ride. :)   
      
     I'd rather be on the Merry Go Round...but then I'd be worried about being   
   overtaken by the horse behind me.    
      
    JM>   More of the Suck up to the Mod Society.  :)   
      
     Got to refine my groveling technique.    
      
    > As to hanging with Daryl -- he started it!   
      
    JM>   As he usually does.  :)   
      
     At least you give credit where it's due.    
      
    JM>   In May and June 2019 I took a six week vacation and traveled around   
    JM> the country seeing things and visiting friends.  One of the people I   
    JM> visited was Daryl.   
    JM>   I found it humourous when telling people here I was going to visit   
    JM> some people I only knew on line.  They reacted like the online people   
    JM> where all ax murderers or something.  :)   
      
     Besides, I bought lunch...but you got lost on the way to the feeding   
   trough.   
      
    JM>   (Why anyone would murder an ax is beyond me).   
      
     Someone should've told that to Lizzie Borden.

   ... They stopped too soon with 6 Up and Preparation G.
