That sounds good. Recently, I've been getting chili hot dogs with no bun at the local Eagan's.

The foundation was failing, and a new office director was up to criminal activity. One of my co-workers from the Packard Humanities Institute whom I've not seen in maybe 12-14 years made an appearance.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 17, 2021, 08:47:43 AM: Well, today on my trip to the pharmacy, I had my first robber taxi driver. He was very friendly and we had a nice conversation on the way. When I tried to pay him, he told me the automated credit card device wasn't working and he needed my debit card. I gave it to him and he entered the info. He gave me a receipt for $9.70 without the usual info such as his taxi number, date, mileage, etc.

I kept asking him how he was going to enter the $3.00 tip, and he said not to worry about.
Title: Re: MEMORY
Post by: elmore3003 on February 17, 2021, 08:51:30 AM: So, I went into the pharmacy and picked up my meds. The staff and I joked about how much he actually entered, and I said he was probably off to Florida by now on my debit card. I told them that when I got home, I'd check my bank account online and see if I was charged $9.70 or something else. Well, the bastard gave himself a $20.00 tip. $29.70 was charged to his cab.

I just got off the phone with my bank from filing a complaint.

Is the bank certain that he doesn't retain information that would enable him to do more harm? Is there any way in the world for them to cancel the $20.00 ripoff, or even the whole transaction?

Post by: ChasSmith on February 17, 2021, 09:24:21 AM: Once again, some great sleuthing on BK's part.

I never knew Kentucky Boys, but I am so delighted to see CHILI SIZE on their signage. I'm glad TCB asked about it.

In all of my years away from Southern California, I had forgotten all about it. I don't think I've ever come across that anywhere but there. And it wasn't until a few years ago when I found some grabs of Hamburger Hamlet menus that I was reunited with it. The Hamlet is very likely where I had it most, but in my memory it was always delicious. It's just one of those wonderful L.A. things. And how great to see it advertised on the building like that.

There are so many places in my own youth that I wish I had photos of. What a great find.

DR George - thanks for the link to America's Test Kitchen. Such a wealth of information! I have seen the show on television occasionally.

My pleasure! I really enjoy the show, even just watching. And one of the guys, Dan, is a real cutie! ;)

They did a live version in San Antonio back when Christopher whats-his-name was still with the show. It was fun. I ushered for and then bought their 50-pound cookbook.

I always found Christopher creepy. Now he's on a cooking program called Milk Street. Don't ask me why.

He's on Milk Street because he created that show after he was fired from America's Test Kitchen (if that rumor is correct).

Post by: John G. on February 17, 2021, 07:24:39 PM: I decided against picking up a drive-thru dinner. It would probably have been too long a wait. So, I went to the H-E-B since I was at that intersection. The parking lot wasn't busy, but as I approached the door, I noticed that they had closed off all but two entrances/exits. Once inside the store, the power went out. Before the generator kicked in, I just stood there and waited. It was rather eerie.

I picked up a few things I needed and noticed that most of the store, except for produce, had been stripped bare. I managed to get some cheese I need for a soup I want to make this weekend, some salsa, a couple of bananas for the bird and some potato chips because I need a guilty pleasure. And I also got myself some flowers, because, well, I just needed those, too.

Checkout was a madhouse, with people just wanting to get through while the power was on and they could pay with a card.

I lucked out last year and found a good one when my medical group wouldn't allow us to see any of our doctors for FOUR months (!). But he wasn't cheap. My benefits changed this year, allowing far less acupuncture :( but more chiropractic. I found someone who looks promising and booked an appointment for next week. Fortunately, there are lots of chiropractors near me who take my insurance (at least they're listed in the directory), so if I don't like her I can try someone else.

So, I went into the pharmacy and picked up my meds. The staff and I joked about how much he actually entered, and I said he was probably off to Florida by now on my debit card. I told them that when I got home, I'd check my bank account online and see if I was charged $9.70 or something else. Well, the bastard gave himself a $20.00 tip. $29.70 was charged to his cab.

I just got off the phone with my bank from filing a complaint.

How annoying!

There was a time when using a debit card didn't give the protection of a credit card in situations like this. I don't know if that's still true. I hope you get your money back.

Another Dutch oven on sale, Vixmom. It ain’t cheap, but it’s still 60% off.

That looks pretty but unfortunately I dropped the cost on a chiropractor appointment instead as they don’t accept my insurance

You know, once again I have to question your priorities. A Dutch oven that you need a strong back in order to use or a strong back?

I used to use enameled cast iron pots to cook with. They were lovely, but HEAVY! Yes, you need a strong back. I must use lighter cookware these days. Not that I cook much anymore.

Same here.

I hope I just fixed the problem causing my phone battery to drain. If not I will have to decide if I want to replace the battery. I would like the new mini iPhone, however, as far as I can tell the problem connecting to hearing aids as not been fixed yet.

Jane, are you referring to the 2020 SE?

I was referring to the 12 mini.

Some weird things are going on with my hands. I'm considering ~~becoming a hand model~~ buying a wrist brace.

Singdaw, are you familiar with the Incrediwear products? I'm forever spraining/straining my wrists. I have two wrist braces, but it's the Incrediwear brace I wear the most. It's very comfortable to wear.

Hope your hands feel better soon.

Tis is very different from the one I wear. I am going to read more about it.

DR George - thanks for the link to America's Test Kitchen. Such a wealth of information! I have seen the show on television occasionally.

My pleasure! I really enjoy the show, even just watching. And one of the guys, Dan, is a real cutie! ;)

They did a live version in San Antonio back when Christopher whats-his-name was still with the show. It was fun. I ushered for and then bought their 50-pound cookbook.

I always found Christopher creepy. Now he's on a cooking program called Milk Street. Don't ask me why.

He's very AR. I can sympathize.

He is very ar?

George, have you ever heard of a local actor down there named Duane Petersen?

I may have seen him in something, that name sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't know him.

Well, he is dead.

Oh, no. If THIS (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/tribnet/obituary.aspx?n=duane-k-petersen&pid=197721317) is him, then I didn't know him at all. :-\
