The sentence below gives a clue to a certain word 5 times.
What is the word?
The detective, on reviewing a photo showing
a machine hidden in a silent forest, realized it was operating
even now and he would not stand for it.

I just thought of a riddle that's not very nice. Do you
want to hear it? If you don't want to hear it don't read
any further.
What do you call an ugly old woman who
is of more than one nationality?
A mixed bag.
BADABOOM!

Why is Trump's spikeswoman, Kelly Ann Conway, in such

Another new riddle: Why did the judge throw the auto mechanic's

What does the following have in common with a
function of a smartphone?
"Except for one, all of the taverns in my town
have gone out of business."
1/17/19, 1:51 pm

What's a smartphone? I know, I'm old and stupid . . . but . . .

Since I have no idea what a smartphone/cellphone does,
I'll never figure that one out!
1/18/19, 10:40 am
Mike
I finally got ya! That's what you get for being 25 years behind the
times. The answer is "I only have one bar." Cellphones often show
a bar graph that tells you how much of your battery you have left
so you will know when you need to charge it.
Mike
The forties called. They want their rotary dial phone back.
1/18/19, 11:09 am
Allan
I would never have gotten that in 74 years. Or a million.
Mike
That's only true if, for a million years, you decided to be a hermit &
never to learn about or take advantage of technological advances.
You old dinosaur.
Mike
Allan you know I'm just kidding you. But I think you would really
like having a smartphone. You like being on the computer a lot and
having a smartphone is a computer that you can use anywhere you are.
It is really handy. And you can use them with earphones so you don't
have to worry about being hard of hearing. Why don't you look into
it a little bit?
1/18/19, 12:15 pm
Mike
I resisted getting a cell phone for a long time myself. But when I did,
I was very glad. Lots of people, like me, don't even have a landline.
Maybe you could look into how much you're paying every month for
your landline and compare it to the cost of a cell phone monthly charge.

tip, pet, pit, pot, top?
1/26/19, 3:21 pm
Mike
Wow!! You did it again! They are not all the answers that I meant,
but they work for the formula I gave you. You are amazing.
The different answers that I had were pat instead of tip. As in a pat
on the back. And "put" as in shot put for the last one. However, now
I realize that was a really bad clue because it's not the shot putters
that spin around, it's the discus throwers. Sorry. Your answer was
no better though. I don't think top spinning is an Olympic event.
We both failed on that one.

It's your lucky day. When was the last time you got five jokes in one?
Five! Count 'em: Donald Trump is tops in my book.
1. Everything he says is spin.
2. He's spinning out of control.
3. Yeah - Topsy Turvy.
4. He tops out at about 300 pounds.
5. He tops the narcissus chart.
You're welcome.

1/28/19, 5:52 pm
Mike
You will never guess what I am doing. I am getting what's
called an ESA letter that provides that my cats are ESAs
(Emotional Service Animals). When I have the legitimate
letter, my cats will not be considered as mere pets, but
ESA's and exempt from "no pets" lease provisions. A landlord
cannot restrict a person from having an ESA under the federal
Fair Housing Act. And they cannot charge pet deposits or any
other additional fees. I think I am likely to be considered
qualified because I have a long history of anxiety and
depression and I'm 70 years old and live alone. One more
thing. It is legitimate. I notice a very different feeling
I have now since I got my cats. I like to come home now
and I don't feel down in the dumps because I'm always
alone. They really are working for me in a very positive
way emotionally.
1/28/19, 10:24 pm
Allan
You are so involved in tenant issues! Boy, me too. I have
a friend who got a letter from a psychologist telling her
landlord that her little dog was an ESA, and the landlord
in turn made her put the dog's NAME on the lease. When
the dog died, of course, this was to be an issue - so she
found another dog that looked just like the first one and
gave it the same name! I'm sorry that you're depressed!
Me too, much of the time.
1/28/19, 11:07 pm
Mike
Is that story really true? Sounds more like a Seinfeld
episode. My theory is that when you're way smarter than
everyone else it's naturally depressing because people
can't relate to us in any meaningful way. Normal people
are too stupid to realize they should be depressed so they're
not depressed because they're so freakin' stupid. It's a
perfect example of a total Catch 22. So simple.

My perfect solution for the illegal alien problem. Whenever in illegal is
caught in this country or caught trying to cross the border they are given
a GPS implant with a timer and a small explosive device. Once they are
kicked out of our country, if they return, it sets off the GPS device and
timer and they have 24 hours to get out of the country or else a small
explosion will occur within the interior of their body and they will drop
dead immediately. Any attempt to remove the implant will also cause
the interior explosion with the same result. Problem solved.

It's OK with me. Just forget it. Show some courtesy.
That is really annoying so can you stop?

He is crazy. Stay in your lane.
He doesn't manage the business.

It's OK with me. I'm up for it.
Just forget it. Give it up.
Show some courtesy. Lighten up.
That is really annoying so can you stop? Don't keep it up.
I'm having a tough time deciding. Does it have to be up to me?
He is crazy. He's fucked up.
Stay in your lane. Straighten up.
He doesn't manage the business. It's not up to him.
Athletes need the will to win. Never give up.
I'm thinking seriously about doing it. I'm up to it.
2/5/19, 10:11 pm

Those answers dont have the word I thought of but
they work! Good job! My answer is "mind."
I think you will be able save the puzzle with my word too.

1. I dont mind
2. Never mind. 3. Mind your manners. 4. Do you mind?
5. I can't make up my mind. 6. He's out of his mind.
7. Mind your own business. 8. He doesn't mind the store.
9. Where ther's a will ther's a way. 10. I have a mind to do it.

Philosophical Question I made up:
Man A slaps man B in the face.
Man B slaps man A back in the face
with equal force.
Most people would say they are even.
I say they are not even.
What do you say?
Mike
I say they aren't even until Man B
slaps Man A again.
2/7/19, 5:47 pm
Allan
Is Man B an old man named Michael Finnegan?
2/7/19, 6:09 pm
Mike
Nope. After Man A slapped Man B, he had the
unadulterated pleasure of knowing he was one up
on Man B. So Man B has to slap Man A twice
to feel that same pleasure and that will make them
even. Does it all make sense to you now?

So even Cohen co-won was wrong? I was guessing that one and the
step-on step-one were right.
Mike
Now that WAS funny! But now I can't tell if you're kidding me or not.
Jeremy got the answers immediately and you always get the answers.
So just in case you didn't, here are the answers:
Board won.
Bored one.
Board one.
Bored one.
Board one.
Allan
OH! I thought each answer had to have two sound-alike words!
You have to explain things better!!
Allan
PLUS, why is a "bored one" necessarily a Woman??
Mike
They all do have two sound a like words. I repeat:
Have you been drinking?
Allan
No. But I've lost some sleep, haha.
Mike
The bored one is not necessarily a woman.
I just did that to throw you off.
Allan
NO, I thought each answer would have two
DIFFERENT sound-alike words. Like
peace piece and then ball bawl or whatever.
Allan
Maybe YOU bore women. I don't.
Allan
So the answer could have been "Meh" Ma.
Mike
OK Now I see what you're saying. I agree with you. I have to describe the
answers better. I promise I will do better next time so you won't have a cow.
Allan
Hahaha
Allan
And, just an aside: If you haven't seen the Cohen brothers

Mike
OK I've been wondering about that one. I like the actor

Allan
There are a number of different stories, with different

Mike
They make great movies. Did you ever see what I think
might have been their 1st movie called "Blood Simple?"
It was awesome.
Allan
Yes, I've seen it like 3 or 4 times.
Mike
How about Fargo? So good. I've seen it a bunch.
Allan
Me too. I love that woman.

I don't think I've seen that! Is it on Netflix?
Mike
I've seen Mississippi burning probably almost 10 .
It is really really good.
It might be on Netflix. I'm not sure.
Allan
OK, I'll seek it out! Haha, I love Willem Defoe
and Gene Hackman also!
Mike
I will see any movie with Gene Hackman.

Good idea, yep.

Philosophical murder question.
What if you plan on murdering somebody by running
them off the road pushing them over a cliff. So you get
behind the car and you do the deed. But it turns out
someone had borrowed the person's car that you wanted
to kill and you killed the wrong person. Is it murder?
Or is it an accident and you would get charged
with negligent manslaughter? Or something else?
It was an accident cause you really didn't mean
to kill that person.

3/17/19, 10:52 pm

Here is an answer to my question about the crime.
If someone kills someone while committing a felony,
I think it's considered murder. So even if the victim was
accidentally killed. It's MURDER!

I just remembered something funny I used to do at Lincoln
Elementary School. Sometimes when I would get a hall pass
to use the bathroom I would go in there and pee all over the
floor instead of the toilet. I don't know why I did that. I think
I thought it was funny. I was a little strange in that way.
3/23/19, 10:44 am

uh oh.

Here is something interesting to me. My cat Gracie is the one
that scratches and bites and I have to be careful around her
but she's a lot better. But I think she really enjoys listening to
me sing and play. Whenever I do she jumps up on the amplifier
and just looks at me and then closes and opens her eyes almost
like she's in a trance. Do you remember Shiner always sat
with Mom on the piano bench when Mom played?
3/24/19, 9:38 pm
Allan
I do remember this! Thank you! In my whole adult life,
I've never had a pet.
Or even a plant. Sigh.
3/24/19, 9:55 pm
Mike
Having a pet(s) for you I think would be difficult. Mainly
because you go away so much. Or you used to anyway. But
for me I don't travel hardly ever and I'm not kidding when
I tell you I feel so much better having these little guys in my life.
I actually look forward to coming home now so I can see them
and pet and play with them. It's really made a big difference
in how I feel. When we hear that pets are great companions
for older people, it's 100% true for me. I'm not lonely any more.
3/24/19, 11:21 pm
Allan
I'm kind of jealous. But I do go away periodically - last week
I spent three days in Chicago, and the week after this I have
to be in Washington DC for another three days - all about
giving ""talk" on my work. P;us I spend my weekends with
Elizabeth at HER house, out in Brooklyn. My life is busy
and good but in many ways stupid. Do you let the cats out
to play in the back yards or something?
3/25/19, 12:10 am
Mike
I don't let my cats out ever. Except if I take them
somewhere in their carriers and I have a little cat play
pin that I am going to take them out and let them be
in parks but I haven't done it yet. I had to sign a promise
when I adopted them they would be house cats and I
would not let them out to run free because there's
all kinds of problems outdoor cats cause and there's
things that can happen to them as well. I am glad you
reminded me because I've been stalling about letting
them out in their play pin at a park so they can to see
the outside world because my one cat might have a heart
attack because she so scared of everything but the other
1 would probably be OK and actually will probly both
be all right because once they're in that playpin they can't
get out. I'll take a picture of it when I do it & send it to
you. I'm glad to know that you are still with Elizabeth and
I'm also glad to know that you're still going out and doing
lectures about your work. You are a really good and
enjoyable speaker and I think the way you present your
talks is really good. I still remember a funny line he said
at 1 of your talks. You were showing those little tiny men
made out of plastic that you put under a microscope and
took pictures of with a one of your friends. And when
you were showing it during your lecture you said
something like "I don't know the guy but I know his type."
So funny that I've used it quite a few times.
Mike
Allen I can't remember if you subscribe to Amazon prime

called "The Widow." I've watched two episodes and they

Allan, have you watched any of Amazon's "Tin Star?"
I really like. I'm close to the end of the 1st season.
I think the 2nd season. Tim Roth is great and so is the
other guy. I don't know his name but this the third
series I've seen him play a.villian. Hell in Wheels
was one and the other was about the US Revolutionary
War. He's a great villain. So creepy.

Hi Allan. I have a dash camera in my car now. A young
woman T-boned me at an intersection the day before yesterday.
I was okay but my car was not. She didn't seem to be injured
but her car was also not okay. So I'm going to send you a
video of what it looked like from my point of view and I just
wanted to let you know that I'm okay before I sent it to you.
4/25/19, 7:54 pm
Allan
Holy shit. I'm glad you're OK. I can't
believe you have a dash camera!
Was she half asleep or what??
4/25/19, 8:25 pm
Mike
She claimed that she applied her brakes and they wouldn't
stop the car. But then she said something like "I tried to
stop but my brakes failed. All I could hear was screeching."
I know my tires weren't screeching. So I'm not sure what she
meant but she admitted she was at fault & her insurance
company also admitted. They're going to pay and so my
insurance company is going to work out with her insurance
company to make everything right
Mike
I've had a dash camera for probably about 6 years now.
I just bought a real nice one & I'm glad I had it. If she
had tried to claim it was not her fault, I would have the
video evidence that it was. That's why I have the dash cam.
Mike
How are you feeling Allan?
4/25/19, 10:38 pm
Allan
I'm not feeling too good. Walking with a cane. But my
career is OK. Not selling, but showing. Trying to feel
good. I wake up depressed every morning, but then
close my eyes and work on remembering what art
feels like to feel good. And it usually works! A new
trick I just figured out a couple of years ago!
Mike
Why are you using a cane? I think you might have
told us in an email but I can't remember.
4/26/19, 12:50 am
Allan
Oh, I thought I told you. I think I did, you told
about the problems you had in the past. Something
is wrong with my back, it hurts when I walk to much.
The cane helps reduce the weight. I have to see a
doctor, but I keep making excuses to myself. I think
I told you, I needed to be in a wheelchair for my
airport travels to Chicago, where I went to have
a talk. Really embarrassing to be pushed around
in a wheelchair!

I would never have written a line so obvious.

of my Ibul Shichunot stories. Unless you've ever
watch the Winter Olympics you might not get these

winning the Winter Olympics. "Next Winter Olympics
I will no doubt win the luge competition because I'm
a laid-back kind of guy and you can bet on my clean s
weep in the curling event."

Here is my latest and I hope it's difficult.
With grave injuries, a vet was brought into

doctor yelled"Oh God, attacked by a mad cow!"
And, he was right, but nobody had told him.
How could he have possibly known?
6/3/19, 1:11 pm

Nobody has gotten it so here is the solution:
The injured guy was a veteran and a livestock
veterinarian. He was the doctor who was shocked
and called out he had been attacked by a mad cow.
Was that so hard?

Allan I really liked the movie. It did not seem too
long to me. The Musical soundtrack really caught
my attention and normally movies don't do that.
The last scene at the Opera had me spellbound
and I watched it four times. Thanks Allan.
Love, =Mike=
6/18/19, 11:33 pm
Allan
Oh Mike, I'm really happy you liked it. Yes, the
last scene at the opera - so wonderful. It tied
everything together and brought a lot of tears.
Lonergan often suggests that there is no way at
all to ever get completely over certain sadnesses,
guilts, hurts. No matter how hard you try, and
for how long. One thing that's nice, it says a lot
about living in New York, which when one lives
here, one sees. The writer/director Kenneth
Lonergan is also a playwriter, and growing up
in New York is often part of the undercurrent.
He even wrote the screenplay for, "The Gangs
of New York"! There is a really nice interview
with him here:
"The Gangs of New York"!

I hope you haven't put that thing you made up on

Elizabeth and I watched "Trip to Bountiful"!
I can totally see how it reminded you of Grammy!
It was like watching a play, we thought. Nice.
6/30/19, 4:44 pm
Mike
Yes I've watched it for quite a few years now
and it's never caused me any problems.
And the movies are free.
One of the parts that I liked in Trip to Bountiful
was on the bus when the main character was
telling the girl she had met about how her father
would not let her be with a boy that she loved
probably 40 or 50 years in the past. And she
was still upset about it and it made her cry.
That was really poignant I thought.
It made a really good point that we aren't always
able to forget things emotionally and they will stay
with us and there's nothing we can do about it.
6/30/19, 5:29 pm
Allan
Yes, that was there. It's also in that movie
"You Can Count on Me," how things stay with us . . .

Allan, have you taken a look at Britbox yet?
7/12/19, 10:21 am
Allan
OH! No! I keep meaning to open the email, it's just that
I've been preparing for an "interview" today that is
freaking me out. It starts 2-1/2 hours, with a
museum curator, and I think it's going to be awful.
I've been setting everything aside, trying to prepare.
I'll get to the email this afternoon!
Britbox! What a funny word!
Mike
It wont be awful Allan. You'll do great. Love, Mike
7/12/19, 10:11 pm

Well, it wasn't "awful" exactly -
but not the best, by far.
Love, Allan
Mike
Were you unprepared? Nervous?'
7/13/19, 12:49 am
Allan
Some of his questions were sort of irrelevant,
but he was a young guy, very smart. It was
just that his interests in my work were different
than my own interests in my work, at times.
I'll get to edit it, after his assistants transcribe it.
Still, I've had interviews that were much more
interesting to me.
Mike
So you're work can hold interest in more ways
than one. That sounds like a good thing to me.
I'm watching this series on Britbox now. I just started with episode one last
night and now I'm on to episode 2. It's really good.
It's the King Tut one. The Heist at Hatton Garden is really good too.
I've watched it already.

Mike, every time I've tried to get onto Britbox today,
this is what i get.
Is this happening to you? I'm having no such trouble
with Netflix or any other website.
Mike
Allan, I just signed in to Britbox and I was able to. I even
made sure by bringing up Shetland Season 5, Episode 1.
There is a customer service phone number you can call
and they've always been responsive to me. I call them
to find out how to pay for your subscription and there
was a number I think on the homepage that I called. If
you want me to call them for you, I will just let me know.
Enter
7/15/19, 8:17 pm
Allan
I guess you can call them, OK, if you know how to
demo that. When I sign on it has my name up there,
though, and I'm "signed in," and I've watched all of
Shetland Season 4. Completely. Are you saying you
think that maybe the payment didn't, go through?
Or maybe their New York connection is broken? \
I tried other programs and the same thing happened.
Mike
I don't know why it's happening. I think if my
payment had not gone through you would never
have been able to watch anything. They would
not have sent me the code that I forwarded to you.
I don't think it's my payment I think something on
your end but I don't know what. But I do think
it's probably best if you contact them because
it is your account with your information, your
user ID & password. If you contacting
them fails, I will try to help you with it.
Allan
I just tried three more totally different TV shows
- same thing happens.
Allan
This never happened with you?
Mike
It has never happened to me.
Allan
Hmmm. One of the "help" sentences says
"Go to your profile online" - but there is
no access to any profile.
Mike
I'll contact them. What's your user name and password?
Allan
Oh, now I found my "profile" - but non help there
Mike
I'll contact them. What's your user name
and password?
Allan
allanmcnyc@aol.com and Thankstoyou2
Mike
OK. I will let you know what happens.
Allan
Thanks Mike
7/15/19, 9:01 pm
Allan
OH! I closed down and restarted, and now
it works!!! Thanks!! I wonder if I have to do
this every time I want to watch something!
Thanks Mike!

Yay!! I hope that you won't have to do it
every time. I don't think that you will.

A Simple Plan - Trailer

Hi Allan here's another movie I think you would like.
it's called "A Simple Plan" and it stars Bill Paxton,
Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda, & others. It's
about these backwoods guys who discover a plane that
crashed in the snow with 4 million dollars in drug
money and what happens after that. I've watched it
lots of times and again last night. It's on Amazon.com.

I can't tell when you're kidding and when you're not kidding.

I was kidding. Usually when someone says they
stepped in to a fight it means they're breaking it up.
It doesn't mean they're stepping in to take video.
It was a joke.

7/20/19, 12:52 pm

No, but Elizabeth has two. I'm hoping I can
make it over to her Brooklyn place today
without fainting. Mike, because you live in
L.A , like in an extended "desert" area, you
have NO idea what super high humidity does
to one. When I first moved here I actually
bought baby powder every summer and
rubbed it all over my body every day, to
feel normal and sane. It's a nightmare here
when it becomes super hot and humid.
At this moment, as I type, drips of sweat are
running down my body.
7/20/19, 2:06 pm

Please get over to Elizabeth's. I experienced hot,

45 years ago and I never want to experience it

Don't you mean Lisa instead of Liza?
Lisa was that woman that was a waitress at the Troubadour,
back in the late 60s, early 70s. You knew her through me.
Remember?
She's a little crazy now in her old age . . .
New life turned out to be sad . .
Allan
"Her," NOT "NEW" - JESUS
She's very ill, and probably not long to live . . .
Mike
Yes. It's Lisa. Now I remember her. In my opinion
she was crazy back then. I think through you I was
her roommate for a very short period In Hollywood.
I wasn't all that grounded or stable back then either.
And, I'm sorry to hear that she is so sick. Lisa Kazan

You're so lucky to have a beautiful son and beautiful grandkids!
Allan
So, in Colorado you can wear shorts to school??
Mike
Apparently so. When I was in high school, if a girl
showed up in a skirt that short, they would have been
sent home immediately.
Mike
And, yes I am very lucky. My grandkids like me.
Mike
I think the rule for skirts was no more than one inch
above the knees. And, here is something funny. When
hippy girls started wearing long skirts down to their f
eet, Aviation banned skirts that we're too long!!
We just can't win.
Mike
It was like the strike zone in baseball. Any skirt lower
than your ankles or higher than your knees is a strike
and YOU'RE OUT!
Mike
Did you know what the baseball strike zone was? If not
you should probably move to another country because
how can you call yourself a true American without
knowing a basic fundamental of baseball rules. But, don't
move, to Greenland because Trump might buy it for us.

As a baseball player, what's better: a high ball, or a low ball?
A highball is best. It's a refreshing drink. A lowball is simply

Hi Allan. I need to thank you about something.
I told you awhile ago that I had been sleeping on
the floor and don't have a bed. You seemed kind
of bummed out about that. So I started using a fold
out bed that I have had for a couple of years but
never used it. It is so comfortable. So I'm not on
the floor anymore Allan and I have a very
comfortable bed to sleep on. Thanks for the wake
up call. Get it? Wake up call? It's a pun. Because
you wake up on a bed. And you gave me a wake
up call. And I was talking about a bed.
Get it? It was a pun.
Mike
And what do you call a good pun?
Punderful.
Beto O'rourke was interviewing with Dana Bash
of CNN and he said during a conversation about
gun control "It's fucked up." And they didn't
bleep it. What is this world coming to?

Such great films!

Thanks for the tip. Have you seen Renee
Zellweger lately? She had some facial work
and she doesn't even look like the same
person anymore. I like the way she used to
look better. Case 39 is before her surgery.

It was a comic strip started in 1897 and was still
being published in the funny papers when
we were kids.

OK. The word is "shredder." An electric guitarist
who plays fast is shredding. Snowboarders shred
and snowboarding competitions are in the winter

wheels are made of polyurethane. And I don't have
to explain hindering the reading of documents.

Treat is not happy with Gracie. She got up on the back of

the evil eye and then she jumped down off the chair and
they started to rumble. I had to break it up by throwing
a roll of paper towels at them. Things got a little tense
there for a minute. There doesn't appear to be any hard

them made in China. We didn't agree on

I'll get $2,520,000! But probably they'll sell like
600 or something!
11/10/19, 3:36 pm
Mike
I'm going to think they will sell way more than 600.
How did you come up with 600?

I don't know if you'd be interested in this
weird hobby of mine. it started when I taught
a class at M.I.T in Boston for one year. When
I found something interesting to read, I'd copy
it, re-format it into a Word document, save
it as a PDF, and then put it on line to ecommend
it to students. But then, after that odd period
in my life, I kept doing it! Formatting and
uploading articles etc. that I found interesting;
and sometimes I sent the links to friends, or study
its I meet, whatever. One of the weirdest articles
I read was about "itching." So I put it online.

LOL, I doubt that. It was just an article in the
New Yorker. Yeah, it's bit long! But the part
about the mirror solution was really interesting,
I thought.

I'll take a look.

I just learned how to block somebody
on messenger without blocking them on
Facebook. It's really easy. There was
a guy I dont think I know or knew who
just sent messaged every freakin day but
they were global texts not just personally
to me. Bye bye Stephen, whoever's you are.

Reporter: President Trump the public wants to
know why you spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars of public money on large streamlined
coaches for your staff? "Very simple. When
one bus gets too full underneath, I always
have a new replacement on hand.

He sensed someone woking behind him.

How is this for a movie opening? 2 guys hunting in
Scotland. One of them accidentally shoots a little
boy out in the forest he's aiming for a deer. Then
the father comes & finds his dead little boy and
points a rifle at the guy that accidentally shot him.
Then that guys mate shot the father. Now they've
hid their bodies in the bushes and are running out
of the forest totally in panic mode.
It's called "Calibre."

Allan
Ewe. And you didn't even make that up.
Mike
It's good! Suspensful.
Allan
ok. but ewe!
Mike
As if you wouldn't watch a movie like that.
So hypocritical.
Mike
There's a good horror series on Netflix
I think you would like.
"The Haunting of Hill House."
12/8/19, 10:43 pm
Allan
Yes!! I watched every episode of that! Here are
some of my Netflix recommendations:
The OA
Stranger Things
Ozark
Money Heist
Mike
Thanks Allan. I've seen Ozark & Stranger Things.
I don't think I've seen the other two. But I will now.
Allan
I totally loved OA. I hope you do too.
12/8/19, 11:03 pm
Mike
Thanks.
12/9/19, 4:15 pm
Mike
I'm gonna watch OA next. I watched
a preview & it looks good.
12/12/19, 5:45 pm
Mike
I had already watched The OA whole series.
I just had not remembered the name. I remember
that the scene in the series of the shooting
brought tears to my eyes. I got really emotional
and I watched that scene many times.
It was a great series.

My Omron BP monitor stopped working. Here is
my new wrist BP monitor. I haven't used it yet.
I'm going to read the instructions first.


12/12/19, 6:38 pm
Mike
Allan the BP monitor text was supposed to be for Lina.
But, I don't mind if you see it. Love, Mike
12/13/19, 1:37 am
Allan
!! Is a BP monitor to measure Blood Pressure??
Or Battery Pack? Boiling Point? Brad Pitt?
Body Part? Baked Potato?
Allan
Mike, are you OK?
Why do you need to monitor your blood pressure?
12/13/19, 2:42 am
Mike
I've been monitoring my blood pressure for many
years. I have had high blood pressure for a very
long time but I don't have it anymore since my
bypass surgery. But I still monitor it once in a
while. Someone needs to monitor Brad Pitt,
but not me.
12/13/19, 1:20 pm

Haha Ok, sounds good!

Why do some mothers, fathers and children all get
diarrhea at the same time? Runs in the family.
That was a little gross.

Just be thankful I didn't send an image
to go along with that one.

I am not happy with Wikipedia. I paid them a little over a week
ago $3 because they're blocking the page and are requesting
payment. I've paid them in the past also. Now every time I try
to open it they want money and even though I've paid they're
still blocking the information. How much are we supposed to
pay for Wikipedia which you really can't even rely on for true
information?
I should have said we can't rely on it for accurate information.
12/21/19, 10:50 pm
Allan
Huh????
Mike
Sometimes Wikipedia pressures us readers
or money. That's all I was trying to say.
12/21/19, 11:36 pm

Hi Allan. I told you about a series called
"Silent Witness" on Amazon. I just watched
episode 1 and 2 of season 4 and it is really,
really good. foral Very dramatic and a very
good story. You should watch it.
Both parts 1 and 2.
Mike
Amazon is also advertising a new series
they're coming out with I think in 2020
with Al Pacino and it's called "Hunters.*
I think it's going to be about Nazi hunters
and I'll bet it's going to be really good.
12/22/19, 8:34 pm

Only two of these are my Surrogates.
And they're installed sideways!!

Why can't oral surgeons be trusted? Because they always want to shoot
their patients up with drugs and then pull something on them!

Look at my new pillow case. I needed one so I found this on sale online.

worse mistakes in my life. Z

When you don't post anything, even when
you say I'll like it,
I can't figure out how to like it!
Mike
Just giving you a heads up that it's gonna be something you like.
I meant to send it but apparently I forgot.
