      The plane has come to a complete stop on the runway and : "I just wanted to tell you both good luck.  We're all counting on you."

      Here in Norway you can reserve yourself against telemarketers. And it works! I never get calls from telemarketers. I get a text every now and then, though.

       

      It is not possible to reserve against opinion pollers, though. But they call me very rarely for some reason.

      I'm on the DO NOT CALL List, which (In the U.S.) is supposed to prevent them from calling, but Robo Callers and Cell Phone scammers still get through sometimes, ...(and charities and surveys are allowed I think) and since they're usually spoofing the numbers on your caller ID,  It's hard to turn them in.  Also they made it really hard to turn them in,  rather than just a few questions, they make you fill out way too much paperwork (online paperwork,  if you will)...I've already complained that no one is going to waste their day answering more than a few questions,  Like time of day, phone number they called from, and what they said,..Stop asking a bunch of other crap and go get these guys!!

      Hey, I remember when they passed the CAN-SPAM act of 2003.  That worked great, didn't it?

  3. Contact tracing - How could they possibly know whether or not you have had contact with an infected person??  Are they omnipresent?

      An unknowingly infected person rides subway train, then when the infected person realizes he is infected, he must use a time machine to go back and ask everyone on the subway platforms and train to write down their names, addresses, and phone numbers. :D

      John Stamos Mullet

      No, that's not how it works. They're only asking for contact info of people you know personally, whom you've had extended close personal interaction with.

      Now...Say you go around licking people's elbows, or getting excitedly into tickle fights with strangers, or playing thumb wars in front of 10,000 people, (maybe more)...Next thing ya know,  say you develop some symptoms...Now it's probably just allergies from putting guinea pigs up to your eyes even though you know you're allergic, or a cold from rubbing up against your hot female cousin while she strummed your banjo the other night at the hoedown...On second thought, You know, whatever I was saying,  I think I'll stop here;   Wouldn't want this to get silly...

      Beans, the musical food. The more you eat, the more you're rude.

       

      Beans, timebombs of fun. First you eat, then later they run.

       

      Beans, the lava in you. Once they erupt, it smells more like poo.

       

      Beans, musical legumes, the more you eat, the worse the fumes.

      The best thing about being 44 is that you were around when Atari released the 2600. Hell, you were around when Fairchild released the Channel F! That gives you unrelinquishable street cred. Happy birthday. :)

      Tombstone's right! And Happy Birthday! We're all in the same boat as far as mortality's concerned...Don't sweat it...

      I'm enjoying it myself! We had a mad snowstorm in May but I think it'll be close to 80 today! Anyway I really like Wyoming's weather in general, but even sweating up a storm mowing lawns or getting rained on..I was ready for Summer!

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      To each his/her own though,...It's funny it seems like you have 3 days of perfect weather, then it's either too hot, too cold, too wet, or too windy...

      I had the Seaside shrimp trio with mashed potatoes and broccoli as my sides. I had one of the biscuits. I didn't want to fill up on those. :D

      It cost $20.99 so not too expensive.

      They spawned the term "scaredy-cat" for a reason, although I know there are exceptions.

    3. Flojomojo

      The scaredy cats are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

      Them cats travel single file to hide their numbers...Hey wouldn't that make them easy targets?

  23. Thank you to Turbo-Torch, jd_1128, and GoldLeader. I do have shingles according to the Urgent Care doctor. He prescribed some antibiotics, antiviral, and hydrocortisone. Haven't really had pain yet but occassional itching.

      I heard that 1 in 3 people have to deal with shingles at some point in their life...(I could be wrong, I'm quoting a commercial from memory)...Also usually it's just one episode...(though it could be more)

      Whew, shingles are some nasty scary stuff. My housemate got them on his legs a few years back and they made his life pretty miserable for a while. Hope it clears up soon for you!
