One of my cabbies is from the mountains of India where kidney stones exist in
EVERYONE, but there's one bean they eat regularly that kills them before they
grow; har to find, though: "horse gram" is the best rtranslation he could give
me; I got the Punjabi word & took it to a local Punjabi supermarket but they
had JUST discontinued it for nt dslling. . . :(  Ditto our Choices store.

Didn't mattter; my boss knew I was trustworthy & loyal.  Once a customer asked
for an application. I gave her one, as she was spouting off like a wounded
ditch pig of a slag.  I brought it bacj to my boiss & he asked me what i
thought of her; I said I wouldn't want to work beside her.  He tore up her form
without even reading any of it.

It only makes sense (NPI) Your current cent series will likely stay worth 1c
for a century or more, but start to save the wheat ones you find!

Now it's covid -- some stores sau up front, on a sign, "No cash accepted."

Staryucks aty the hospital had that up, so I had no coffee to fuel my wheel up
the stree to the main road, a half mile up, so I took a bus & poopeed right
into their competitor (cheapere, better qyality, & their internet always was
free 23/7, even when Staryucks charged $25/30 minutes! & shut it off at
closing); I can sit outside any Blenz at 3am & connect to the 'net.

It was my backup in case mine died on a night shift for work -- I can't leave
people without access to medical service just because my ISP techs sleep at
night!

If you don't like my driving, keep off the sidewalks!
