Yo Ho Ho

[Bob Alston]

Got up at the unreasonable hour of 8 am. Called St. John's to reconfirm
Kris appt.

I go to pick up Kristine in about an hour.

Cleaned baby fish shoeboxes this morning.

Dave has sent the insurance invoice. Should get in the mail soon. Then
to calculate by unit and send bill.

Did remember to put the trash out last night.

Finished the reporting app for RARC - go by later this week to install.

MM called about having me get a hand shower for Dad. Said he won't take
a shower "because he doesn't like the shower in his face". Whatever. I
said OK but get him to agree to take a shower and pick a day of the
week. Suggested Becky might be able to get such an agreement.

Cheap Chinese last night. Kris wasn't feeling too good. She perked up
a bit after dinner.

Nothing interesting in the mail.

Hope you are continuing to have a great time.

Love,

R.

You could use a calculated field in a query, that might help. ;-)

I had EXACTLY the same experience today. Maybe it's a known problem.

I think he'd get a much more appropriate response by posting the
question in micorsoft.public.access :-). They answer questions like
this all the time.

Where's the rum?

That reminds me, have to put mine out tonight. Dunno if the bin men will
come though, unless they have studded tyres on :-)

Is that the latest fashion for bin men in your area? I'd think that a rather
odd article of clothing. Studded collars and armbands, maybe, but tyres?

Damn, I'm glad you did that instead of me.

Cleaned baby fish shoeboxes this morning.

I was puzzled too. Apparently these are for baby fish to live in your aquarium until
they are large enough that the adult fish won't eat them. Well much. They are a
clear plexiglass contaner with a lid and small enough holes that the water can
circulate but the baby fish can't get out.

Well some of them are a bit portly so they have a spare :-)

I was thinking: baby fish don't wear shoes, why would they need
shoeboxes?

How do you know? They might just slip into a pair when you're not looking
;-)

Once a week, whether he needs one or not?

I've often seen an old boot at the bottom of a fish tank.

It was entertaining to watch all the sponsored links change to Aquarium
products.

Ah, interesting. You're using Google.

Yes, that is correct. My shoes use Google. So do my boots, my
sneakers, my insoles, my dress shoes, my socks and all fashion
accessories related to my feet.

In the olden days, didn't that used to be once a month, need it or not? Or
was it twicet a year -- before being sewed into your long-handles for the
Winter, and when you removed them (or they rotted off?) in the Spring?

Is it unkind of us to have such fun with an apparently-accidental
misposting?

It worked. All the sponsored links and related pages were about socks,
shoes or boots. I don't know if Trevor's post about the boot in the
fish tank helped or not. Also, I don't think the word search knew what
to do with micorsoft. It looks like the words have to match exactly.
This is fun.

<chuckle> I was wondering just what the heck kind of drugs you were on for the
previous posting. Or planet or <insert the name of your local insane asylum here>

If I mention VW Passat will it find me a good cheap second hand one,
prefereably a TDI 4Motion? :-)

It is, at his father's expense, he may be bed ridden an' all that, he
may take baths in preference, we don't know and shouldn't judge too
harshly not knowing the circumstances.

But the fish tank thing is fun though, and at least the OP now has the
oppotunity to give as good as he got on Grumpy Old Man for his car
insurance posting :-)

Yes, I'm bracing myself for that. ;-)
