Have endoscopy on Wednesday.

So far, have confirmed by text message, email & just now with live person on the phone.

I don't have a fax, I don't know semaphore & my smoke signaling is out of practice.

I don't know how else to convince them i will make that appointment

So are you going?

undecided

After ignoring you for 10 minutes, employees at one of those big box stores pay attention to you real fast, if you just start up a chainsaw.

And they pay a different type of attention to you if you use one of the display toilets at Home Depot.

or, if this is a bakery run by the Cannoli family, I apologize

But if it is a bakery run by the Cannoli family collectively, doesn't the apostrophe go after the "s"?
I recall some rule like that, i could be remembering incorrectly.

Those always seem to be clogged

Old saying in my old crew, "and Bob's your uncle," Usually used after someone explains how to do something to someone else.

As in; Just caramelize the onions with the ground beef, and Bob's your uncle.

Or; Just climb up on the roof and put compressed air down the stink pipe, and Bob's your uncle. (just kidding, probably best not to try that ;]

Anyone else heard of that saying?

 

[day_trippr]

I have read that expression often, but don't recall hearing anyone use it

 

[balrog]

English. Bobs your uncle and Fanny’s your aunt. I first heard it when I saw the movie 101 Dalmatians.

 

[GrogNerd]

Bob's my cousins' uncle, not mine.

 

[Skeeter686]

I work with enough folks from across the pond, so I hear it occasionally. Or the more pretentious "and Robert is your mother's brother."

Pretty sure I've never heard the compressed air one.
But we do travel in different circles.

Hey! You just gave away the secret with the 'Law' column to every mainstream-box-office-success scriptwriters formula;
Use any subject and characters and concoct a script built around that Law column and Bob's your uncle!

Pretty sure I've never heard the compressed air one.

I just made that one up for amusement, and picturing the consequences of that amused me also.

I lived in Mass for 6 years, that humidity will cut right through!

The same folks who've decided I cannot build a simple PC without having myriad color-changing, room-illuminating LED eye barrages on the CPU, the GPU, the friggin Memory sticks (??!!) and every fan!!

And stay off my lawn.

Ummm........but pretty lights????

*I don't have rgb on my gpu but only because I couldn't afford it*

*I also have an rgb mousepad*

You forgot the AIO pump head IPS display!

Cheers!

 

[GrogNerd]

full disclosure: I JUST GOT a clamp-on keyboard tray for the desk, it's got LEDs.

fired them up once to see what they were like, unplugged them for good.

it was actually cheaper than the non-lit version

 

[balrog]

I never complained about light up keyboards.
At my age, I very much like light up keyboards.
I also happen to like old fashioned noisy clackety clack keyboards.

The other, important, really pretty person in the house is decidedly AGAINST old fashioned noisy clackety clack keyboards, or so I learned.

 

[Snuffy]

My son gave me a rechargeable Logitech keyboard that lights up the keys when your hands get close to it so it's easy to use in the dark. That's all the lighting effects I need on this hooptie. Any case effects just highlight the need for dust bunny removal.

 

[Dland]

People often give me isht about my old keyboard; the clattering sound, the pica type font, how it blocks the screen...

But it's doing pretty good for a 90 year old machine, and you can't beat it for data security.

 

[balrog]

At least it's an Underwood and not a Royal.

How To Tell if Your Latest Beer is Good 101:

Take a glass of latest beer in to SO's space and ask them to taste it; if you walk out without the glass, it's good. If you walk out with the glass, they are an idiot.

I didn't get the fancy AIO with the screen but I like the colors. Been building my own pcs for about 25 years and still have way more fun building them than using them.
