• And More Various Things

    Barry,

    Are we going to the dogs?!

    Nah: they're coming here!

    After a good report from the hernia surgeon, I went to visit some
    friends and their dachshund...who was elated to see me...for all of
    2 minutes. <G> But, I had to cut the visit short, when I got a call
    from ADT of an alarm event at the house. It figures...I got caught
    in traffic, and every red light from their house to mine. I waited
    for the police to arrive, and inspect the place. Thankfully, no
    "entry", but the sensor on the garage window got tripped somehow.
    I'll make sure it's LOCKED before I go out next time.

    (And how did I leave "their" in there? Should have been "they're".)

    You need a second set of eyes when you do documents...or compose
    REPlies. <G>

    Should be "next year I'll ketchup"!
    Good comeback.

    I'll take the compliment with relish!

    You can have mine...and I'm sure you'll relish that. :P

    Hi Daryl!

    Are we going to the dogs?!
    Nah: they're coming here!
    After a good report from the hernia surgeon, I went to visit
    some friends and their dachshund...who was elated to see me...for
    all of 2 minutes. <G> But, I had to cut the visit short, when I
    got a call from ADT of an alarm event at the house. It
    figures...I got caught in traffic, and every red light from their
    house to mine. I waited for the police to arrive, and inspect the
    place. Thankfully, no "entry", but the sensor on the garage
    window got tripped somehow. I'll make sure it's LOCKED before I
    go out next time.

    Nothing like a little excitement for your dull life! <g> Glad no entry/nothing taken. A few years before I retired was waiting in the
    parking lot for the 'opener' to arrive. She gets there, we have to wait
    a little longer because there's a certain time when the automatic delay
    kicks in (else a door trip, etc., will set the alarm off immediately,
    not giving time to call in the access code). So we're waiting, the
    alarm goes off, no one near the door - we're still gathered in the lot.
    A short while later hear the phone ring (a certain telephone line rings
    in the speaker system) -- know is the alarm company but not going in to
    answer because we don't know where the alarm trip occurred.

    Few minutes later the Police arrive (alarm company can tell which sensor tripped: location and type). I don't recall how found out as none of us
    were going into the building until cleared but were told the motion
    sensor in Hardware was tripped, but the one north of the cash registers,
    the one 'for' the cash registers was showing no movement. Where the
    motion was being reported there's nothing worth stealing, certainly
    nothing where the person would be just staying in one spot like if in
    the circle of registers.

    Police go in, we stay outside and away. Police find the culprit: a
    bunch of balloons tied to a lawn mower display!! The HVAC had turned on shortly before we were scheduled to go in and the air movement was
    blowing the balloons, setting off the motion detector!!



    (And how did I leave "their" in there? Should have been "they're".)
    You need a second set of eyes when you do documents...or
    compose REPlies. <G>

    But I put my reading glasses on -- my second eyeballs. Didn't help!



    Should be "next year I'll ketchup"!
    Good comeback.
    I'll take the compliment with relish!
    You can have mine...and I'm sure you'll relish that. :P

    'Relish' has already been used.... I can't think of anything that would
    make sense.

    on shortly before we were scheduled to go in and the air movement was blowing the balloons, setting off the motion detector!!

    That happened here once. My brother had bought my Mom some helium
    filled balloons...that moved in front of the sensor, and set it off.
    I nearly ended up getting shot by the police...I was so mad at him.

    But I put my reading glasses on -- my second eyeballs. Didn't help!

    Maybe you need eyes in the back of your head. :P

    Jose: Purple bastard.
    Peanut: Mexican Condiment.
    Jeff: A condiment.
    Jose: I do not use them.
    Peanut: You don't??
    Jose: And, neither did your mother.

    <ZING!>

    By the way some people wear their sunglasses,,,, I suppose either more comfortable or don't fall or/slide down.

    Good night, Gracie. <G>

    I loved watching George Burns and Gracie Allen. The one I remember
    most was where Gracie was talking to the IRS agent. She asks him if
    members of Congress are considered "dependents". When the IRS agent
    said yes, Gracie asked "Can we deduct them??!!" <BG>

    The look on the faces of George Burns, and the IRS agent was
    absolutely priceless!! :D

    Uh-huh! :) ...Probably will be another show banned as not politically
    correct.

    Don't get me started on the stupidity that the world's frame of mind
    has devolved to.

    This is true.

    Of course, the woman said to her husband "If you had dropped your
    pants and underwear the Social Security Office, you would've gotten
    a ton more money on disability". <G>

    I can understand and agree with some of the new ideas, others make no
    sense to me and so yes, are a regression. One can learn from the
    'politically incorrect' shows if they do the plotline correctly. Quite possible the person is mentally challenged: don't make fun of them,
    though can have fun with them (as in enjoy their company and
    viewpoints). OTOH if they are drooling or misbehaving that is
    inappropriate social behaviour and needs to be dealt with - how is a
    matter of the situation. TV, movie, etc., storylines can help with the understanding.
