Dog-gone good story! After getting off bus in nearby village, was hitchhiking home, lady concerned, called cops, the one replying said she said she'd offered to drive me, I said if I'd heard it, I'd have replied, "Thank you, ma'am- that's very kind of you". He, a city cop, asked permission to leave the city to drive me home, and did. Standard time isn't friendly to hitchhikers: two weeks and a bit ago it got dark at 6; now it gets dark at 5. ole joyful (forgot to hit "space" - again! So - had to come back). o j

Thanks, folks, for yer Thanksgiving feast offered to this furriner this after-noon! o j (When I had to change first letter in "this", it did it O.K. - but when I changed the last letter and didn't hit "space" and "delete" - it ddidisdisadisapdisappdisappedisappeadisappeardisappearedisappeareddisappeared). (didn'didn't hit "space" after my period - sorry, ladies). (When I did the edit there were three lines of "disappeared" - eenendendiendinending in the c9mplete word, plus bracket and period). o j - still here, (I think) E T A: If you're using a phone, turn it sideways. o j

Salonva, I did that once, and I got caught. It was the first and last time I cheated. It was in Shorthand class and I couldn't remember the symbol for 'that'. LOL I still remember it.

Ha ha, Salonva, lots of that this morning!
