I saw Network on Broadway.   We were in the 4th row and Brian Cranston
came within three feet of us.  Great actor.

You can buy a smartphone for a WHOLE LOT LESS than your stimulus check.
Who is your cell phone provider?

Seems like a wasteful thing to spend it on. I think he should invest in
a couple of cookbooks. ;)

If he's not a heavy cell phone user he can get a GREAT deal on smartphones
on HSN. They have specials on them every month or so but the service is
through TracFone but he doesn't have to stay with TF. Their specials
consist of a new phone plus 1500 minutes of text and talk for the one
price. Always priced well under $200.

When she was passing through TN to the job in Va she tried to convince
me to let her stay with me. Uh, no... I didn't have a spare bed and
wasn't comfortable comfortable letting someone I only knew from a Usenet
group crash on my couch. I remember thinking surely the nursing agency
provided a per diem/stipend for travel expenses? I don't recall if she
was driving from Arizona or California at that time. I do know it's a
hell of a long drive from either of those states to anywhere in Virginia.
 
Oh, and she wanted to go to shopping at Penzeys (it was in Germantown,
TN, at the time) before continuing on her journey. Penzeys isn't exactly
a cheap shopping shopping trip.

Got another place where I can read it? I hit the paywall.
 
But in the meantime, it reminds me of a funny story for small children that is undeservedly out of print:
 
"The Adventures of Silly Billy" (1961), by Tamara Kitt (real name, Beatrice Schenk de Regniers).
 
The kid plants a garden with popped corn - and serves hot water to the hens to make them lay hard-boiled eggs. When his parents make fun of him, he sets out to prove he's not silly by finding someone sillier than he is. Does he ever!
 
Yes, cows get mentioned too - but to tell more would spoil the story.

About people who deliberately giving wrong answers - this is from the comic strip "Arlo & Janis," Nov. 8, 1991.
 
Gene, the couple's son, was probably supposed to be 9 at the time.
 
GENE (speaking to Janis):
 
"These people from a TV station came to our class today...
 
"They asked us to find the US on a blank map of the world!
 
"We all pretended we couldn't!
 
"We love to put those guys on!"

The thing I took away from the article was people should buy what the
closed restaurants can't use. Because they're CLOSED. Gonna let
perfectly good food rot?
 
"Known as the real birthplace of finger food, Belgium's 5,000 frites
stands are all closed.
 
"Traditionally, Belgians eat fries once a week, and it's always a
festive moment," said Romain Cools, the secretary general of industry
group Belgapom.
 
"Now, we are asking them to eat frozen fries twice a week at home."
 
The demand for frozen potatoes has taken a nosedive in the recent weeks,
with the Belgian industry facing a possible loss of €125m (£111m), if
thousands of tonnes of surplus spuds go unsold this year, according to
Mr Cools."
 
and
 
"The British public are being encouraged to have more steak nights, with
the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board launching a £1.2m
campaign to promote the idea.
 
In partnership with Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and Wales' Hybu Cig
Cymru (HCC), the 12-week campaign aims to inspire consumers to "Make It"
with beef. It will be supported with "how to videos", cooking tips and
influencer-driven content."
 
For people who don't know how to cook and whoa! Suddenly the
restaurants are closed! Here's your chance to not let perfectly good
food go to waste. My 2 cents.

I'm pretty damn sure you did. Or at least some stupid comment about

Why do you think I trotted out Dad's military record to you the *first

I happen to *know* my father would have despised Trump. Now you're

The advice remains the same as it applies to all nickel based batteries. The
primary difference in charging is the smaller voltage inflection point on
NiMH which can be missed by "noisy" charging but is not an issue in this
instance as the charger will be designed to detect it and will almost
certainly have other means for terminating charge; and also a lower absolute
maximum charge current.
 
Surely you checked that or was your haste to post negatory comments too
great?
 
As you mentioned it, can you kindly explain why the advice to charge
initially for an extended time and then charge the development cycles
normally is:
 
(a) destructive
(b) dangerous
 
I am always interested to learn.

Same thing I do with my 100% electric Nissan Leaf. Plugged into 240VAC here at home, 75miles a charge approx. I've run completely down twice needing a tow home. Bummer, I try hard never to do that. For riskier longer trips I take my gasoline polluter, my 2006 Grand Caravan.

https://www.daymarksafety.com/news/some-fundamental-differences-between-food-labeling-in-the-us-and-europe/
 
When they were first introduced about four years ago, the food labeling requirements of food products marketed in the European Union (EU) were designed to be similar to those in the US, and to address what were referred to as "international standards." But now that the EU system (pictured) is in place, the food service industry is finding that the two systems have quite a few differences...
 
But before I continue, I'd like to share this personal story. It is not pornographic, but it is simply an adult discussion of a sensitive topic, so please do not take offence!
 
My earliest memory of a "sexual" experience comes from a time at my grandmother's house when the daughter of my grandmother's cook took me behind the garage and showed me her genitals. She told me that if I rubbed my "pee-pee" it would feel good. I don't remember any more about this incident. I was probably about 5 years old.
 
My next memories of sexual play are of bathing with my two younger sisters. We regularly bathed together until I was 10 or 11. I remember getting erections as we bathed. My sisters, especially the youngest, would pull at their labia trying to achieve an erection. (In retrospect they were probably doing the pulling because it felt good.) Quite often, after our bath, my youngest sister and I would go into her room and closely examine each other's genitals. She encouraged me to pull her clitoris to make it stick out like my penis. (At the time, I didn't know any of the names for the parts and certainly had no idea what they were for.)
 
During my pre-teen and early teen years I engaged in regular mutual masturbation with a male cousin. My cousin and I spent the night together almost every weekend. Our mutual masturbation would begin as a massage and continue until we were stroking each other's penis. We never masturbated to orgasm with each other. At this time of my life I had yet to have an orgasm, and I'm pretty sure my cousin hadn't either. (An interesting note: My cousin was uncircumcised I and was circumcised. Neither of us knew at the time why we were different.)
 
My first orgasm happened quite unexpectedly when I was in the 7th grade. By then, masturbating had become a regular habit. I would get an erection just thinking about taking a shower or spending the night with my cousin. (Believe it or not, I had not yet learned even the rudiments of sex.) One evening while showering I began to rub my penis between my legs by bending over, pushing my penis between my thighs, and then standing upright. I don't remember how long I continued this movement, but I do remember the intense feeling that came as my penis began to jerk and ejaculate. I had no idea what was happening, but I knew it felt like no other feeling I had ever experienced. Soon I began to experiment with other methods of stimulating my penis to orgasm -- and thus began my practice of daily masturbation, which has continued until the present.
 
One might assume that when I became sexually active with females and, especially, after I married, that masturbation would cease or diminish in frequency. In my case this was not true for at least three reasons. First, I enjoy masturbation and use it as a supplement to my sex life. Second, during my younger years, I ejaculated very quickly during sexual intercourse. I discovered that I could greatly prolong intercourse and satisfy my wife if I masturbated regularly. I usually masturbated about an hour before bedtime just in case we had sex.
 
I don't know whether to call this next practice "masturbation" or "an alternative sex practice," but for this bio I'll consider it masturbation. Birth-control pills were not widely used during the early years of our marriage, and those that were available had much higher hormone doses than more modern pills. My wife could not tolerate the side effects of the pill, so after two children in three years we began to use mutual masturbation as a primary method of sex. My wife would often lie on her back, knees up to her chest, genitals exposed. I would kneel in front of her and penetrate her with my fingers while rubbing her clitoris with my thumb. At the same time, I would masturbate with my other hand. Usually, she orgasmed first, and I would continue to masturbate until I ejaculated on her belly. After our third child my wife had a tubal ligation, so birth control was no longer an issue. However, as my career advanced and my wife became more and more involved in raising children and running her daycare center, our frequency of sex diminished. Once a week became the norm.
 
My daily masturbation continued. Pornography became an important stimulus as I grew older. As often as possible, I read pornographic books and magazines or attended XXX movies. Now that we have retired, sex is more frequent and masturbation less so. However, I still masturbate several times a week. Because of age and the looseness of my wife's vagina, I often have to masturbate to orgasm during sex. She is very understanding and participates fully in my efforts!

If I dump the pineapple, in slices, with some brown sugar, in the bottom of a 9x13 pan and pour the prepared lemon cake mix on top, would the result be horrible or fantastic or something in between? I await your opinion.

Denouement:
 
I went grocery shopping today and bought a box of yellow cake mix (on sale at $1.25!). The leftover fresh pineapple was still OK, so I did the standard recipe:
 
<https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/easy-pineapple-upside-down-cake/>
 
And ...
 
I had a bit more pineapple than I needed for that, so I took the remaining bits and whizzed them in the mini food processor. Strained out the juice and used that with water for the cake (per Betty. Don't mess with Betty! :-) )
 
The leftover paste will go into a pineapple frozen margarita when the sun sets over the yardarm. Happy Cinco de Mayo.

Oddly enough, it's still being sold in the states. I'd like to pop off that nameplate to see if it says "Serverin" under there.
