• Various Things

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to Nancy Backus on Thu Sep 19 08:59:00 2019
    Nancy,

    I'm hearing of one that is again threatening Burmuda... haven't heard
    any more about where they expect it to track...

    Bermuda. Humberto didn't make landfall, but the hurricane force winds
    were 105 miles out from the center, and tropical storm force winds were
    out 195 miles from the center. Some of those hurricanes can be 500 miles across, or more.

    And protect from things floating in the air, like cat hair, dust, etc...

    If it's ashes to ashes, and dust to dust...someone's coming or going
    under the bed. <G>

    Or at least forgot to wait for that next sip until AFTER he read the NB>message... ;)

    Take note, Joe. <G>

    I'd never take it that far.... that becomes counter-productive...

    It does...apparently, the late Friederic Chopin had that happen to
    him.

    Eventually... You've had quite a lot of other things to be taking care
    of in the meantime... now maybe there will be a little more time NB>available....

    Time, like work, and play, are nasty 4 letter words.

    Yeah, I've had those CT scans... and the warm feeling from the dye... ;) NB>Hopefully yours didn't show anything disturbing...

    It wasn't a tumor in the lung, but scar tissue, from a bout of
    pneumonia, bronchitis, or some other condition, that they said was
    nothing at all to worry about.

    So it only affected Burmuda...?

    And other pianists ended up damaging their hands and losing their
    careers entirely...

    Oh, I don't know... some 4 letter words aren't all that bad... ;)

    That's a relief... :) And now you know... :)

    Bermuda. :) Jerry brought Tropical Storm force winds there, and it
    looks like the high pressure area may block Karen (which brought a lot
    of rain to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) from heading in the same path...although Lorenzo in the far eastern Atlantic, will be a powerful hurricane, mainly a threat to shipping interests. Karen might threaten
    the southeast US, but it's too early to know for sure. The Bahamas
    surely don't need another tropical cyclone.

    If it's ashes to ashes, and dust to dust...someone's coming or going under the bed. <G>

    One way of looking at it... <G>

    At least that's how a child felt about it. <G>

    And other pianists ended up damaging their hands and losing their
    careers entirely...

    True. I was amazed watching videos of Liberace, and Victor Borge (both
    of them are dead and gone now).

    Oh, I don't know... some 4 letter words aren't all that bad... ;)

    Food?? Even Sysops have to eat. <G>

    That's a relief... :) And now you know... :)

    At least until the next issue comes up.

    For sure... :) I didn't even hear about some of those... But then I'm
    not going to that sort of site to follow them, either...

    George,

    Christmas in July, because "we got sh*t to sell, dammit!"

    Or like the song "Redneck Woman"...she keeps her Christmas lights up all
    year long...and knows all the words to every Charlie Daniels, Tanya Tucker,
    and Ol' Bocephus (Hank Williams, Jr.) song.

    Someone's really bad at measuring, or there's a "charge!" moment?

    Paul Lynde said you never discuss tape measures at a nudist colony. <G>

    Exactly. The guilty white liberals cry they were downtrodden from
    birth & so have an unfair disadvantage.

    They're just lazy.

    I invite any of them to listen to or read my favourite Linguistics professor: Dr,. John McWhorter.

    He's unaplogetically black &, in "Losing the Race" he detyails how
    blacks sabotage themselves(he would be bullied for "talking white" as a kid (i.e. speaking with proper grammar.); he overcame the molasses dragging him downward & moved to the top of any academic vocation: a multi-published PhD.

    Good for him.

    But EVERYONE is claiming victimhood benefits now! & they're all, save
    for the odd individual, full of crap (most of the crap is just brown sticky low self worth, created by ad-based national corporate
    domination.)

    We pee the same yellow, poop the same brown, bleed the same red...and all came into this world naked and broke, and are going out the same way. How
    is that discrimination??

    "Our soap is better." (yeah, better than if you washed your clothes in crude oil)

    Or in Granny's Lye Soap. :P

    "Have it your way at Burger King" (unless our underage minwage front counter dummy doesn't understand plain English, & trust us, he doesn't;
    or our cooks are goofing around, tossing food from the floor onto the grill & serving it to you, because we deduct the cost from their teeny paycheques if they don't.)

    Borg Burgers: We do it our way. Your way is irrelevant. And, we'll assimilate you if you don't like that. <G>

    I like the tagline below.

    Yup; I like reading him, or listening to his podcasts -- an intelligent & well- spoken man, wrt colour.

    I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

    At a square dance years ago, the song "It's Hard To Be Humble" fit this
    one woman like a glove. <G>

    HORTON!!!!

    Want to see my trunk?? <eg>

    A local ham radio operator (I know two of his brothers, and his parents through square dancing, and another brother through ham radio and square dancing) has the callsign suffix YZP -- one of his friends (more like a smart-@$$ joker) said it stood for "Your Zipper Protruding". With friends
    like us, you don't need any enemies. <G>

    I thought it was more like this tagline.

    George,

    I've gone through many years of my life living on less than that & had
    no car, no house, & no vacations!

    So many think they are entitled to everything.

    Blondes do get a hard time. I only tease the Suicide blondes(dyed by
    her own hand) because they actually believe bleaching their hair
    changes them in to more likeable people).

    I wonder where those jokes got started.

    "Blondes have more fun." -- yreah, only because they're easier to find
    in the dark!

    Good one.

    ... Is French kissing in France just called kissing?

    They actually used to call it English Kissing! But now just kissing. .
    .

    Never mind it being tongue in cheek. :P

    I've never said, "Let's French Kiss, baby!" Maybe rtefer to it as "necking" whjich implies a more passionate kissing session, that may include tongue play & nibbles on the neck, if she likes that (most did)

    Sounds like this preacher who had a male parrot, that always said "Let us Pray". Well, one day, they decided to get a female parrot, as they wanted
    to breed it. They weren't sure how'd they'd react...so they put them both
    in the cage.

    Male Parrot: "Let Us Pray".
    Female Parrot: "Let's Neck".
    Male Parrot: "My Prayers Have Been Answered". <G>

    One one sitcom or other (Maybe Roseanne or the sequel); an older sib advised the tyounger to steal 3rd instead of going from 1st base to
    2nd as usual. Oh, right, got it -- it was on That 70s Show, wth one of the basement crew advising Eric.

    There was this baseball team with a female pitcher, but she was also
    rather stingy with her relationships. Well in one game, one batter got
    walked, and the entire stadium cheered. It was noted that "it was the
    first time that someone got to first base with her". <G>

    Need some hockey style fights to pump up the ratings, though, I'd say.
    . .

    I went to the fights and saw a hockey game. <G>
