Subj : Re: Another Day In The ER To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Nov 06 2020 02:05:00 Barry, DS> Seen on the hypochondriac's tombstone: "I told you I was DS> sick!!". BM> Dare I do the husband's response? "You just had to get the last word!" That's about the size of it. DS> Until they show you the bill. :P BM> That causes another medical episode! Never mind Fred Sanford..."It's the big one, Mabel!!" BM> Could get into public transportation which generally is rather horrible BM> in most parts of the country. Sounds like the bus system around here. :P Little Rock doesn't have a light rail system like St. Louis, Miami, Dallas, or Nashville. We have a "river rail trolley system" that basically serves the downtown areas of Little Rock and North Little Rock, but I think it has been shut down since COVID-19 took hold. BM> Mine's about 2/3rds of what the Medicare deduction from Social Security BM> is. I may check with the local Blue Cross deal to see how much it might be per month. BM> I was trying to counter that. Never mind figuring out the number of beans. DS> Yeah, but $3 or likely much more for one Viagra pill?? BM> That price is rather stiff! DS> Talk about giving your wallet a hard time. :P BM> Wallet?? Kinky! Never mind checking to see if the folds and the Velcro are right (this will teach me to answer mail at 2am!!). :P BM> So if it doens't fit don't ram it in? Or where the blonde thought the floppy drive was the ATM machine for her drivers license and debit card. DS> I don't know what the pH was the last time I was doing the prep DS> work, but the way my throat and esophagus was burning, it had to DS> be high. BM> So alkaline??! It was nasty. It reminds me of what the late Red Skelton noted in a routine. "I had oysters on the half shell twice in one meal. Once going down..." -- then he paused, made this horrified look on his face, and everyone knew what he meant. :P BM> I vaguely remember "TCBY"! Maybe had it once - I'm just not a Mall BM> Eater: don't do shopping and snacking, or at least on my own. If BM> shopping with someone and they want a snack I'll probably get a coffee BM> or a small nibble, but that's rare. The entity who owned one of the malls in town just filed for bankruptcy. COVID-19 caused many of the stores to not pay their rent, or to shut down and leave. DS> That's it!! Or as Archie Bunker noted, "Bless the meat. Damn DS> the skin. Open your kisser, and cram it in". :P BM> Might have to use that one at Thanksgiving! That was for the meatheads out there. :P BM> Yeah: I'm knocked out for the procedure. As you implied, the day BM> before pretty much nothing is going to get done. DS> On the contrary, quite a bit will get done...although you'll DS> have a crappy outlook for the day. :P BM> "So wha'cha been doing all day?" "Oh, just a lot of running around!" There are two calls in square dancing...one called "Scoot Back", and "Run". With either one, you're in what's called an "Ocean Wave" formation. One dancer is facing into the formation, and the other is facing out. On "Scoot Back", the dancers facing in, go in, do an "arm turn" (basically a trade) and go back out. The dancer that was facing out basically flips to the right, taking the place of the dancer that just went in. You end up back in an ocean wave formation, but you've basically traded places. With the call "Run", the designated dancer moves forward, and runs around the other dancer, to face the same direction they are. This usually forms a two faced line...one couple is looking into the formation, and the other in the line is looking out. Anyway, one smart-aleck caller kept doing "Scoot Back", and "Boy Run Around The Girl". Then, he said "I think we've got the scoots and the runs". Another caller got the squares into a formation of the letter L, and he said (intentionally)..."Crap, the whole floor looks like L"!! BM> Most intestinal E. Coli is of the good variety, but I do agree BM> squishing cow poop between my toes does not make my Fun Things To Do BM> List. And, you thought your feet smelled back already!! BM> ... My love for you is like diarrhea: I can't hold it in. Maybe the relationship should get the bad parts pruned?? Darn IBS woke me, so I had to throw the cat out of the sandbox. Once that was done, I decided to check the BBS mail before going back to bed, in case the colon decided to throw a fit again. I saw a cartoon, with a cat at work at a desk. The IN Box is full of mice...the OUT box is full of kitty litter. :P Daryl ....
