In other breaking news, an outfit calls "Boystown" has sent me a package enticing me to give them money. The package includes a 3-pack of pens/markers and two sets of cute socks.

These socks are tiny. i might be able to fit 2 or 3 toes in them.

Which is appropriate, I guess, for "Boystown."

However, it does beg the question:

Wouldn't "Boystown" be better served by KEEPING and USING these teeny tiny socks themselves?

I guess their cuteness factor is supposed to entice me to open my wallet.

One surprise when I went to get my vaccines last week: they have retired the COVIC vaccine card. Since the U.S. Government is no longer distributing the vaccines, the CDC is no longer printing new cards. The pharmacy did, however, give me a printout from the state system showing a record of all my previous shots.

I read about that this morning.

That is an unusual amount of gifts for an enticement.

I agree.  I guess guilty people into donating works.

I just read if tv's are on they should also have had an emergency alert.  Keith looked up at the row of tv's at the gym this morning and didn't see a single alert.

"Customers whose phones are set to the Spanish language will get the message in Spanish."

I had Keith double check and his phone is set to English.

I do have notifications turned off, however, I thought the test would override that.

I love this quote.



My piano teacher and instructor when I was going to Centralia College, Ken Kimble, actually studied piano with Nadia Boulanger!

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I got the Emergency Alert test on my phone a little while ago.

Did you also have a notification explaining the alert on your phone?

Yes, I did get the messages (English and Spanish).

You got both  :o

It was just a displayed message, and you scrolled sideways to see the Spanish language version.

Hmmm, scrolling sideways did nothing.  I think to see all three pages that he received he scrolled down.

Probably different models of phone display messages differently.

True, however, it was only supposed to be in the language your phone it set to.
