Hello, Dave!

Replying to a message of Dave Drum to Sean Dennis:

 DD> I used to have McD's but it got to be such a PITA that I finally 86ed 
 DD> it to the bit bucket and moved on to easier-to-use apps.

It's better than it used to be but it's still poorly designed.

 DD> I got a blackened chicken sandwich w/mashed potatoes on my way home
 DD> from AutoZone yesterday. Most excellent (and filling) late lunch.

That does sound both delicious and filling.

 DD> As long as they are using the guns on each other it's not that big a 
 DD> deal. But when innocent bystanders get hurt/killed or one of them
 DD> does a rampage and shoots everything in sght ......

Agreed.

 DD> One day I had made sandwiches from a boiled cow's tongue and served 
 DD> with a bowl of beef barley soup. When I offered it to on e of the
 DD> ladies who lived nearby (not a sex worker) she exclaimed "I'm not
 DD> eating any thing that came from an animal's mouth. Can I have an egg
 DD> sandwich with the soup?"

 DD> I managed to get all the way back to the kitchen before I totally lost
 DD> it.

It's like the newspaper editorial clipping I saw decades ago on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno".  Some dimwit wrote "Hunting is terrible an inhumane.  Buy your food at the grocery store where no animals are harmed."

 DD> Didja use breakfast sausage or Italian?

Breakfast since it was all I had on hand but I did but some sweet Italian sausage today from ALDI.  Spent about $50 but bought about two weeks' worth of groceries.

 DD> I taught a young toots at a McDonald's how to do that. Her cash
 DD> register didn't tell her how muchchange I was to get and she was
 DD> lost. So I taught her how to use the sale as the starting point and
 DD> progress from pennies to dollars to get back to the tender. She was
 DD> amazed.  Bv)=

Yes, they usually are that such a skill exists.  I need to start carrying cash more often.  I can lose track of things easily using my debit card for lots of small purchases.  When I was younger, I dealt primarily in cash with checks for large purchases (usually over $100).
