"Toilet fishing apparently banned at Sochi Olympics"
On Wed, 5 Feb 2014 17:59:26 +0000 (UTC), DerbyDad03
wrote: I used to work in a Chase Manhattan branch in NYC back in the mid-70's. We had one of the early ATM machines, back when they were _only_ in the lobbies of the banks, only open when the branch was open, and only worked with brand new bills. I had an account at Citibank in NYC when teller machines arrived, in the mid 70's. I made a test run, to see if the machine would give me money, and it wouldn't. Otherwise I might have relied on it to give me money the next Friday before a weekend trip. I guess they fixed the machines in less than a month. Back then, at least in our branch, deposits were much more common than withdrawals. We were a commercial branch in an area with a lot of mom and pop businesses - dry cleaners, deli's, barber shops, corner pharmacies, etc. I've never relied on an ATM for a deposit. |

For those who don't know why, the blind often have relatives or a taxi drive them to ATMs. They want to operate the machine themselves because, like everyone else, they want privacy and don't want others to know their PINs and account information. So, they use a back window to access the ATM or get out of the car and walk up to it. I've helped my friend Jason (who is blind) at the ATM. Much of the information comes on the TV screen behind the glass, and would not be available to a blind person. A blind person with no seeing eye human could not operate ATM, at least not the ones he uses. The one by my house has an earphone jack... there may be more options if one uses it. I don't know. Yes, they accept standard headphones and let the user do anything a sighted person can do (get account balances, etc). The screen is even blanked out so others can't read over the blind person's shoulders. |

Would you post the dough recipe? The dough recipe is extremely simple: Flour, water and yeast with a little sugar (pinch of salt) then mixed with vegetable oil. It's the same as bread, but simply with oil added. (and less yeast) Of course unless you've made bread before, the recipe itself will do you no good as one needs to know how to work with yeast. The yeast needs to be put into a small bowl of sugar and water and allowed to rise. If the water is too cold, it will never rise and if it's too hot , the yeast will die. As to the best temp for the water all I can say is /very/ warm...but NOT hot. BTW: Recently , she started using those pre-made crusts you can get in most grocery store, it saves some time and truth is they are damn good. Possible better than home-made. As to the sauce, the secret to pizza sauce is /fennel/. I should mention though, there is no finer cook than my wife...and she can make just about anything. I was the one however, who taught her how to make pizza. I started by trial and error back in 1972 and it took me about ten years to get it perfected. |

One had been brought back to the USA on a federal prisoner exchange, after a long term in a Bolivian prison. Mental illness is a tough one. In order to deal with it, the person has to be aware that they are mentally ill and they have to /want/ to improve themselves. I have a friend who is very ill with schizophrenia (or possibly schizoaffective disorder) but absolutely believes he is not ill and absolutely refuses to take his meds. He has been in prison for most of the past 15 years. Even if one is aware of their disorder and takes their meds, the side effects can be horrendous. With the proper care and environment I have seen a lot of really great success stories. People I know through the place had been written off by their doctors but are now working full or part time...or doing what we call "transitional employment". |

I carried him up to the second floor a lot of times. The thing is, nobody had to order us to help my pal or pass a law. We just did it and my friend was never late for class. ^_^ That brought back an old memory I had all but forgotten. My first GF in college had a brother with M.D. and we were always carting him up and down the stairs. I don't think he lived too long. I could make an insensitive joke about Spartans, the flawed and a pit but I'd only do that around my congenitally disabled friends who would think it hysterical. Of course some self righteous Politically Correct, P.L.L.C.F. would howl about me being mean to the handicapped which I find ironic since those of their ilk demand that perfectly healthy babies be murdered before they're born. That's why the man said that Liberalism is a mental disorder. On the other hand, there are my overly religious, wacko, Über Conservative friends and family who I must be careful around when making any joke because having a conversation with them is like walking through a minefield full of cow poop. I must be very careful what I say around them because they'll find sin in anything whether it exists or not. Gee golly gosh darn it's hard to tell a ****ing joke around anyone! o_O TDD |

Hary K At home, I use a graduated urinal so I can measure and keep track of urine output for medical reasons. In 2011, I became very ill due to fluid retention then when I got some much needed medication, I dropped 50lbs in two weeks and it was all fluid. So I watch my weight and urine output. Last July, I wound up hospitalized because I had a sudden onset of pulmonary edema, my lungs filled with fluid over a twenty minute period and I spent 5 days in the hospital with a drain line in my winky. The problem was due to me being told to stop taking one of my medications which happened to be a diuretic. I don't take or stop taking any medication unless I get a full explanation. I'm going to look it up on the Interweb too but I must avoid developing medical students disease. ^_^ TDD |

In which case, Russian women wear trousers.... hum ... no wonder Putin hates gays, he's probably picked up many a lad thinking they were lasses. Anyone stuck with toilet cleaning duty understands very well why. You may think it is all going in the bowl but a lot is splashing right back out and making a mess for someone else to clean up. I guarantee you that any females in your house would much appreciate if you would quit standing up to ****. Hary K At home, I use a graduated urinal so I can measure and keep track of urine output for medical reasons. In 2011, I became very ill due to fluid retention then when I got some much needed medication, I dropped 50lbs in two weeks and it was all fluid. So I watch my weight and urine output. Last July, I wound up hospitalized because I had a sudden onset of pulmonary edema, my lungs filled with fluid over a twenty minute period and I spent 5 days in the hospital with a drain line in my winky. The problem was due to me being told to stop taking one of my medications which happened to be a diuretic. I don't take or stop taking any medication unless I get a full explanation. I'm going to look it up on the Interweb too but I must avoid developing medical students disease. ^_^ TDD Interesting but hardly on point. Harry K |

There was a radio station in town WEZW that played nothing but "Muzak" Their motto was " Let us elevate your mood." I was working out there in Californiastan in 1989 when I saw a billboard that almost made wreck my car. It was an ad for KLIT Radio. I imagine someone had a sense of humor and plausible deniability so they could innocently claim it meant K Light because they played light contemporary music. I don't remember how long the billboard lasted but it was in California. ^_^ TDD |
