I am getting physical therapy for lower back pain. I can commiserate. Good on you for making the effort. Other potential customers may benefit from your visit.

Great movie!

Not sure I would want to be stationed in Nagasaki that soon after the bomb dropped, but he appears to have had no ill effects, bless him and his courage and luck!

I like gunshows too! Probably over half the firearms in my accumulation came from gunshows. I don't mind walking by tables that don't interest me. They help pay for the facility for the tables that do! I go to gunshows for the same reason I buy stuff at a local gun store...to encourage them to continue!

Sure; they are going to grind up cuts that are worth $20-30 a pound into a product that sells for $5 a pound. Not! Ground beef is trimmings, and can include ground hearts. I like ground beef, but it's not ground up filet mignon!

Doc Severinsen preferred oyster dressing, which lead to a divorce!

https://www.assumptionabbey.org/fruitcakes Some decent fruitcakes are made by Cistercian monks at Assumption Abbey, in Ava, Missouri, about 60 miles east of Springfield. If I were going to buy a fruitcake, this would be the one.

"Auctioneer's argument" I like it!

This worked! I'm using the old Mac Safari browser. I opened Safari in a private window, clicked the gmail tab in the Google bookmark, and signed in with my phone email ID. I was able to then download the attachments and then drag and drop them to my desktop and a flash drive for backup. I got a flag that my version of Safari is no longer a "supported" browser, so that is probably the root of the problem. Thanks for helping me make an end run around the wall!

Then there's Stove Top Stuffing for those of us who like the taste without the turkey!! 😀

Thanks to all, sincerely, for your suggestions. Cactus Jack Calder's suggestion doesn't work. The attempt to forward the opened PDF file to my Mac's gmail doesn't show up, and doesn't appear on my phone's "sent" list. Abilene Slim's suggestion to open both email accounts on the computer seems impossible. I have not yet figured out how to get the gmail account in use on my phone to show up on the computer. I'm sure it's my ignorance causing the problem. Time to quit. The files are estimates for replacing our damaged backyard privacy fence. I have contacted the fencing company and asked them to mail hard copies. So as long as USPS behaves, I should get them in a few days. Thanks again for your efforts to help.

Christmas tradition: Waking up the household on Christmas morning with Percy Faith's Joy To The World blasting on the stereo!

I don't have a printer. I have learned that my present email account thinks all attachments are malware or viruses, and will not include attachments in forwarded messages. Is there a way to tell gmail that PDF files are ok attachments?

I'm ignorant. How do I do that! Thanks!

I received pdf files in a gmail account on my iPhone. I want to print them out. I have a different gmail email account on my Mac computer ( don't ask, long boring story). When I forwarded the email containing the pdf files from my phone to my computer email account, the pdf files were not included.

Me? Leftover spaghetti and meatballs. You?

Mom and Dad made a fruitcake from scratch when I was about 6 years old. Started in October, aged until Christmas. Very anti climactic. It wasn't better than store bought, and wasn't worth the effort. I will eat a piece when available, but it is not a holiday essential.

Honesty may not always be the best policy. 🙂

If they advertise it as "tactical" they will sell out overnight.

Do you need the money? If you are not in a financial bind at the moment, save the stock for trading fodder, like at a gunshow. Or play around with refinishing it. You might convert it into something really beautiful.

On October 11 I asked my LGS to order a Taylor's Bisley .357 Magnum. The order was delayed (reportedly) because the gun store had a new owner who did not have an account with Taylor's. The paperwork was resolved and the revolver (reportedly) shipped by Taylor's on October 29. As of today, November 8, the revolver has not yet arrived in Springfield, MO. I believe in supporting my LGS. But do you think I will ever order another Taylor's firearm?

Pass.

Dieting for a couple of days prolly wouldn't hurt any of us! Not to worry.

Jim Watson who, with Francis Crick, published the first description of DNA as a double helix in 1953, and subsequently shared a Nobel Prize in 1962 for discovering the structure of the gene, has passed at age 97. I remember the first time I saw the double helix... on the cover of Life Magazine, delivered every Friday in the mailbox... in 1953. I was 9 years old. For those who may be interested in the history of one of the foundational concepts in biology, two books are essential: "The Double Helix" by James Watson; his firsthand recollections of the discovery, which, incidentally, pissed off some folks. "The Eighth Day of Creation" by Horace Freeland Judson. Watson and Crick were not the only people trying to find out how genes are built, and how they transmit inheritable characteristics from one generation to another. It puts Watson and Crick's discovery in perspective, and is an entertaining narrative about racing for a Nobel Prize. Watson was not shy about expressing politically incorrect opinions. He was a genius who contributed to our understanding of biology profoundly. Much of today's medical research is based on his findings.

You look great, but I need English subtitles!
