Great analogy! I remember slivers of paper inserted in the spool to indicate the bookmarks. Trouble is my brain won’t accommodate slivers of paper. -
Hardpan's Miata ~ Update
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Of course. But it must be kept in mind that attorneys don’t charge a flat fee for disputes. The meter is always running, or they get a percentage of the take. Either way, the plaintiff has to consider whether the expense results in a net gain. My experience with attorneys is that when all is said and done, the final cost bears little relation to what was said at the front end. My rule of thumb is that if the stakes you’re trying to recover are less than $10k forget about a lawsuit. You could end up with a net loss after legal fees, or so little gain that it wasn’t worth the aggravation. Small claims court is a viable option in many states. -

Or maybe it’s just that my brain is full. If you shove another piece of information in one side, one falls out the other side. -

The other thing that happens is once you remember why you went into a room and go back, you get distracted by something else, which deflects you from your original task. “Oh, there are my car keys!” -

Of those recommending an attorney, how many of you have actually hired one under these circumstances and come out ahead when it’s all over? -
Reacher season 2 finale
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Season one was superb. Season two, to me, looks like every other cop show on TV with the same gunfights, preposterous car chases and plot lines. Even the look of the film is the same with that dark, blue and black coloring. I quit watching after the 5th episode. There, I said it. Flame away! -

Nope. I have to leave the room to remember why I went there. -
Who Makes..... the best microwave popcorn?
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Widder, SASS #59054's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I eat the stale popcorn at our American Legion post. My popcorn palette isn’t sophisticated enough to make a recommendation. -
I’m watching Air America (1990) tonight starring Mel Gibson, Nancy Travis, Robert Downey and others. So I recognize the actor playing the role of the Vietnamese general as the guy who played Cato in the Pink Panther movies (Herbert Tsangtse Kwouk). But for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the name of the detective movies that made Mel Gibson famous. I had to Google “Mel Gibson detective movies” to realize it was “Lethal Weapon”. I used to able to recall that trivia in an instant. Not anymore. Yeesh!

If they’re just coming in, why are they being sold on an auction site instead of dealer?

Galvanized won’t bend like that. If you zoom in, you can just see the sweated joint under the M of Plumber.

I’d be wary of buying one of those from an auction site.

Any end run around the Fox News App?

I went to their site. There’s a free 7-day trial, but after that there’s a subscription fee. -

Our son and his wife moved to Spain last month, so we’ll be getting ours in order to visit them. I haven’t had one since the ‘70s

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to J-BAR #18287's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Fox News has been on the skids with me for some time. The content just isn’t there anymore. This bump in accessing it is trivial, but also the final straw. It’s just not worth reading, like this front page gem: “Suzanne Somers' widower says 'strange things' are happening after her death” my 2 cents, nothing more. -

Some things are just too much effort. Fox News is one of them.
