Yup... ;) Ones like that, I always look for the "waffle" factor that invalidates what it seems to be promising... (G)

I've heard of even more audacious promises, such as
"you will not be the one to pay the bill."

Years ago, back when we were in the habit of hosting what we called The Motley Crew on Sunday afternoons at Yangs (mostly college students,
they'd pay in what they could afford), Richard got one that he restated
as "You are a born sucker and will be fleeced regularly"... :) It was actually more like "you are altruistic and give freely"...

Same difference!

Pretty much... Richard has been a master at "translating" those ambiguous fortunes to make them more understandable... (G) He's come up with some doozies, too... ;)

And yesterday I got a different error message that
indicated that some Firefox process that I hadn't
authorized was working in the background and had
crashed. Heh. In other news, my GOES login has been
wiped (I'm not unauthorized, my account is claimed
never to have existed).

Which account is that...? Computers are really acting up for you
lately....

Ever since hanging out with people who are on
various watch lists.

And too late to reverse that now....

... A wise man once said nothing.

Wise (wo)men and idiots often agree.
Not that I believe in wisdom, of course.

Sometimes it is the ear of the beholder... ;)

I actually think wisdom is an odious concept,
because it implies a value judgment, either
of oneself or of others.

Just saw a tagline in a different echo, to the effect that a smart man
covers his ass, a wise man keeps his pants on.... :)

... Actually I Can Believe It's Not Butter.

When that product came out I tried it to see;
there's really scanty similarity.

My finding also....

the school of Hard Knocks and has had a disastrous life
path. Both interesting.

I've gathered as much.... :)

One could write well-selling biographies
about them. Not novels about them, people
would think the stories too improbable.

Mark Twain is supposed to have said something like that, to the effect
of truth being stranger than fiction.... I have the "quote" in a tagline
on the other computer... I'm currently in downstate NY at my sister's,
using my laptop, having attended my aunt's funeral procedings
yesterday... will be uploading when I get home tonight...

The traveling life - got to love it.

Or at least tolerate it... ;) I'm on my way out tomorrow to the Pond
for my Spring Board Meeting... just an overnight this time...

Not everyone aspires to climb any higher.... ;) Sounds like at
least it was a good meeting for the two of you... :)

It was a pretty fun blast from the past.

Good.

I thought so. My recent blasts of that nature have been
generally gratifying.

Might have something to do with aging and everyone mellowing some...?

Do you have a tin yurl for it...? It hasn't seemed to do anything noticeable at Wegmans, anyway.... :)

I read tin yurt ... I don't have tin anything.
Try tinyurl.com/raisincrisis

Haven't yet, but will... :)

I read tin yurt again.

Ok, read the article... was interesting.... :)

... Remember, 'i' before 'e' except in words where it isn't.

Neighbor, weigh, as the rhyme goes, and
sleigh, neigh, beige, and so on.

Neither, either.... eiderdown... eidetic...

ttyl neb

... Hearts are still red muscle meat, a sort of gateway offal.
