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... ;)

Perhaps I could use his expertise interpreting some
of these taglines.

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....

Oh, I never cared about that stuff unless someone was
messing with my somewhat scanty assets (which has
happened, too).

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.... :)

Heh. I'm not sure that's what the original
saying meant, though.

... 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....

Aroma different, mouthfeel different, taste
different.

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...?

Yes, and I always got along with the various cliques
or affinity groups or whatever they were back then,
though I preferred the nerdy set, obviously.

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.... :)

There's greed, cynicism, and an underworld in
pretty much every industry, it seems.

... 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...

foreshots and feints, too.

Yes, and I always got along with the various cliques

I tended to cross boundaries, even then, also... sorta fit in anywhere
(and sorta not at all as well)...

Indeed.... :)

Ok... feints sounds like A... but the ones I mentioned didn't follow the rhyme's direction....
