George,

 GP> Matter or batter for all the fish earlier on in this thread?

  Or like the deal "What's this about battered women?? I prefer
mine fried". :P

 >   We now will pause 3 minutes for drooling. 

 GP> Careful; computers are electrically powered. . .

  Even on batteries...which run down so quick. Just like the Samsung
A10, A11, and A12 Android phones...all 3 of those are a joke!! They
don't hold a charge, and when they completely die, not even plugging
a charger into them will help...the phone is basically toast.

 >  GP> drumsticks are normally dark (my fave). . .

 GP> I use two large ones (w skin-on & bone-in) for the base of my rhino
 GP> soup (or 4, when cooking for the whole fam damily)

  I'm finishing off some chicken nuggets...but when I went shopping today
(it's supposed to be stormy here the next few days), I stocked up on
bread, lunch meat, White Castle cheeseburgers, 3 minute pizzas, diet
green tea citrus (now in 2 liter bottles), and Little Debbie Cosmic
Brownies (my sweet treat). I also picked up some extra Depends (having
to deal with incontience is a b!+ch)...and as folks get older, they're
going to have to deal with it. As comedian Jeff Foxworthy notes, "you've
got the young ones going out of diapers, and the grandparents going into
them". :P

 GP> They say everything tastes like chicken; I say everything except
 GP> chicken done properly -- it's just DELICIOUS! & tastes like MORE.

  Or like "The Far Side" cartoon, where this cow is cooking hamburger
on the grill, and he says "I think we taste like chicken". I wonder if
that's where Chick-Fil-A got their inspiration?  Too bad their peach
milk shake is only served during the summer months.

 GP> She wanted a facelift, but her huge butt was dragging it down too much,
 GP> so he opted to add more sag to her butt to unline her face by going the
 GP> other direction!

  Or she had Zachary Disease...her face looked Zachary like her butt. :P

 GP> He just finished saying it was free -- a bill saying anyting but
 GP> "$0.00" would be illegal at that point.

  That's like the story of the guy who got a bill for $0.00 from the store.
He threw it in the trash. Next month, he got a "second notice/past due".
Again, he threw it in the trash. Then, he got a nasty letter, threatening
him with arrest for non-payment. So, he promptly sat down, and wrote a
check for $0.00 and mailed it off. The store didn't bother him again (True
Story).

 GP> My doc's receptionionst tried to bill me for a missed appointment; I
 GP> presented her with a list of the time Io'd spebnt waiting past my given
 GP> appointmenmt slot, & it added up to more than the 24 hours notification
 GP> required. She said she'd need to discuss it with her boss (my doctor,
 GP> who told heer to back off, then asked me if discplinary action was
 GP> needed; I said no, she was only trying to do her job as the schools
 GP> trained. . .)

  In central Arkansas, you need to give at least 24 hours notice of a
cancellation. However, in extreme emergencies, they'll waive the no-show
fee. More often than not, they're calling me to reschedule, as the doctor
is ill, out of town, running late, etc.

 GP> Mayhaps they're offering this web-based lookup to patients as a free
 GP> service & giving all y'all exactly what you've paid for?

  I have no idea. I've got the patient portal with several area facilities.
I remember over 50 years ago that the family doctor did EVERYTHING. Now,
you have all these extra specialists.

 GP> Q: Why did the scarecrow get the job promotion?
 GP> A: He was outstanding in his field.

  That's because it was too far to go back into the house.

 GP> I got promoted at my job and my new office is up in a tree house.
 GP> I am a branch manager.

  Never mind barking up the wrong tree to get ahead.
