Subject: RE: BS: Never... From: Phil Cooper Date: 03 Sep 14 - 03:06 PM I left a cittern on the roof of my car once. I drove 50 miles home before I realized it. An ad in the Chicago paper lost and found section, a $50 reward, and a $90 repair bill, I had it back. I think if it had been a guitar, I never would have seen it again. I figured someone opening the cloth case would not be likely to say, "oh gosh, an octave mandolin, just what I've always wanted." Never done anything like that again. |

I used to know a delightful elderly Scottish woman who couldn't drink tea or coffee for medical reasons. When with people who were taking tea she would ask for "silver tea" - hot water.

Subject: RE: BS: Never... From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 08 Sep 14 - 11:20 AM Never put the keys on the car seat while you gather your things. Invariably you will forget them as you close and lock the door. Done that. Though my car, like (most?) (all?) other cars, can be locked by using a button or lever when exiting, I "never" (knock wood) use that means of locking; I use the remote lock function of the electronic fob that came with the car, and thus "almost always" have both of those locking means in my hand before I close the door. I would never, these days, buy a car without the remote access function built in. When I have, in the past, locked myself out of the car, the keys were to be found not on the car seat but in the ignition slot. That's how I learned always to use the remote access/exit fob.

Subject: RE: BS: Never... From: Musket Date: 08 Sep 14 - 12:52 PM 62% aren't bad odds to play against if you intend to beat the house, although that is rarely the odds as it depends on the cards in play at any time. That's why I usually raise the dealer and get the next card. I never hold at 16. That said, if other players have been twisting with cards faced, you can guesstimate the odds back a bit depending on what has drawn from the shoe. I do not have the quick calculations or memory recall of decent players but I reckon it works more times than it doesn't. Been a while since I played last though. I let my membership lapse at the club I used when I stopped spending half my ruddy life in London. Never play a greyhound at cards. He may be poker faced but every time you deal him a good hand his tail starts wagging. |
Subject: RE: BS: Never... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 09 Sep 14 - 03:18 AM I would have expected you to be less than traditional/predictable, Musket, than holding at 16, where the odds of busting are 62 percent.

Subject: RE: BS: Never... From: Janie Date: 09 Sep 14 - 11:41 PM Ooh, Steve. I have done the same. Not fun. Excuse the bit of thread drift, but Steve's post reminds me - I have read some from the journals of those on the Lewis & Clark expedition. Along the mid and further reaches of the Missouri River where portages were necessary, prickly pear was common. By that time boots had worn out and most of the men were reliant on elk-hide moccasins, which provided little protection from the spines of the prickly pear. Caused crippling hardship, suffering and delay in the party's journey to the Pacific coast. Many journal entries regarding this. To bring it back around to topic, never wade through prickly pear thickets without thick, hard boots. |
Subject: RE: BS: Never... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 10 Sep 14 - 12:46 AM My neighbor planted some prickly pear. Never do that. Thick,hard boots might protect you from the thorns you can see, but the p.p. also has tiny, sharp filaments which are almost invisible and are hard to get out of your skin. When the plant is done with the filaments, it sheds them, and wind and rain spread them into nearby soil. Not a good idea. |
