George,

 GP> Up late last night, eh?

  Nature and a nightmare woke me, along with hunger. Since I didn't want
to go right back to sleep after eating a couple of turkey sandwiches, I
decided to work at the computer. I had also taken an Ibuprofen, and I was
waiting for it to kick in.

 GP> I've not had a Samsung; I went from generic Android bar phone to
 GP> iPhone6 where I'm staying. . . replaxed batteries once & she's holding
 GP> a charge reasonably (I carry a portable charger pack with me, with
 GP> enough juice to charge my iPhone fully twice, or once & charge my
 GP> companion's hone once, as well(it has two output USB ports)

  I've always had Android phones...support and releases seem more often
than for iPhones.

 GP> I got so mad aty McDonald's for swiutching to all white meat nuggets
 GP> (dry ^ flavourless; I like Burger King's -- all dark meat, & chjeaper,
 GP> too -- usually on sale for $2 for 20; takes over $5 to buy 6 at
 GP> McDonalds of the crummy white meat ones. . .

  Agreed...I prefer Burger King's nuggets.

 GP> Never had a peach shake, but now I want one. . . I'll have to stick
 GP> with my occasional avocado shake from Coco Tea. . .

  I didn't get one yesterday, as I was eating on the way back home from
shopping. Yes, I shopped hungry, but I got everything I wanted.

 GP> I heard it was the IRS & the $0.00 payment broke their computer. . .

  It wouldn't surprise me. He should've asked for a refund. 

 GP> Most doctors are reasonable, unless they've contracted with the
 GP> practice; as one guy who wanted $25 to complete a parking placard
 GP> application (no disputing I qualified, just said they had fixed fees in
 GP> the practice for each service; I'm thinking a decent human being
 GP> would've paid it himself; later I waas at a rehab centre for a
 GP> refresher on how to tie shoes on-handed & greeted a doctor I knew; we
 GP> went for a vending machine coffee; during the conversation, I
 GP> mentionerd the incident with the parking placard application & he said
 GP> mail it to him &he;'kkl do it, no charge. I said /i'd include a SASE, &
 GP> he said not to bother, as they supplied him with stationery & postage.
 GP> Now THAT is a doctor.

  There was a story of a bank (I want to say Seattle) several years ago,
where you had to get to a parking garage to get to the bank. Well, if they
validated your ticket, you could park for free. However, the validation
only took place for a deposit or withdrawl, and not just cashing a check.

  Well, this guy was rather annoyed with that, and he said "I have a very
large amount of money in my account. I want to close it out, immediately,
if not sooner". The teller summoned the manager, and when the guy was told
that was the policy, he said "that enforced his decision"...I want all of
my money...NOW!!". So, they grudgingly closed his account (with several
thousand dollars), and prepared him a cashier's check...but they still
wouldn't validate his parking garage ticket. So, he paid that in what
cash he had besides the now very large cashier's check, and took it to
a competing bank across town.

  Needless to say, he inquired what their policies were, and there was
no such restriction on what a transaction was. So, he said I'd like to
open an account here, as I just closed out the account from a competing
bank whose policies were not as yours are. They were ready to kiss his
feet!!

 GP> In this new town, my new doctor started our dfirst visit by asking,
 GP> "Why'd you fire your  last doctor?"(likely wanting to be sure I'm not
 GP> one of those who bounce around doctor to doctor trying to find one to
 GP> prescribe opiods); I explained, he said that made sense.

  He took a turn for the nurse.

 GP> His locum was his wife(also a GP) & one time I said to my pharmacist,
 GP> "My doctor's off sick, so his wife wrote me this prescription for pain
 GP> pills."

  Wow.

 GP> Luckily the pharmacist knows me, & glanced cursorily at the screen
 GP> while putting in the doctor, & filed it without comment.

  Good deal.

 GP> Still with  the same docs 25 years later, but primarly see the wife
 GP> now,. as the Mr took a leave for several years & I got used to her.

  Good deal.

 GP> She's been known to, noting my need for new interview clothing for a
 GP> job search I was embarking on, hand me a few hundred dollars for it, &
 GP> another time paid for the Heart Monitor rental I needed. . .

  That was nice of her.

 GP> I'm sure my old dentist dropped some billing items for me, as when he
 GP> retired, my bills started getting higher, with no change in what I went
 GP> in for & how often. . . these new bills were legit (I checked).

  Amazing.

 GP> Good people abound, like roses, but do watch out, as with roses, for
 GP> the pricks. . .

  Too many of the latter in the world...and not just on males. :P

 GP> It wasn't, but he lacked tyhe brains to realize that.

  Now, I'll hear that song "If I Only Had A Brain". Hmmmm..sounds like the
song for every member of the US Congress. :P

 GP> ... Falser words were never spoken; except in a courtroom, or in
 GP> Congress.

  That, too.

 GP> I can always tell when someone is lying just by looking at them.
 GP> I can tell when they're standing too.

  Q: Do you have trouble lying??
  A: No, I lie quite well, thank you.

  Never believe anything until officially denied.

 GP> Q: How can you tell if ghosts are lying?
 GP> A: It’s easy. You can see right through them.

  It ghost to show you that the lie has many forms, but the truth is always
the same.

 GP> Apparently there is bi-partisan agreement in Congress that medicinal
 GP> marijuana should be allowed for the purpose of relieving arthritis
 GP> pain...

 GP> In other words, there is joint support for joint support for joint
 GP> support...

  They are so disjointed that Mary Jane wouldn't know them.
