Went to work one day after my days off.. Someone had put two guys in

Found out one was schizophrenic and the other manic depressive. Those
do not seem to play well in a confined space.

One had been brought back to the USA on a federal prisoner exchange,
after a long term in a Bolivian prison.

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.

You'd likely heard about the old late night joke about

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.

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".

No more than when a cash register at a store is connected to the bank
network and one can pay the bill with the charge card and have it
credited immediately to the store bill.

Sounds good, to me. When I worked for Pizza Hut,
we made traditional dough from ingredients. But,
since 1983, I'm sure I've forgotten the recipe.
Speed one, 10 minutes. Water 105F to the yellow

heat 'melts' the oils which better capture air during next operations,
captured air later rises making the crust better.

just try and make a soufflé with COLD eggs.

That brought back an old memory I had all but forgotten. My first GF

Liberalism is a mental disorder. On the other hand, there are my overly

careful around when making any joke because having a conversation with

very careful what I say around them because they'll find sin in anything

There are a lot of good pizza places in the area...
however my wife makes the best one.

It's really easy to make from scratch.


Sounds like a plan. I'll contact when I get
near your area.

LOL, that just made me remember something from more than 30 years ago.

There was a radio station in town WEZW that played nothing but "Muzak"


Their motto was " Let us elevate your mood."

I didn't understand the one that says you can't **** standing up.
Maybe the sign is for a ladies WC ? 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 ****.

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. ^_^

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. ^_^

Sigh. I've been outed. I discriminate against

Nimbus. I hate those damn nimbus clouds. I tell
kids to get indoors, and stay away from nimbus

"graduated urinal" means you're out of diapers,
and ready to go to school now? When I watched
TV, they used to have commercials for Pull Ups,
which were the next stage after diapers.

No silly, I use a senior urinal. It graduated a long time ago. ^_^
