Bone-up on your ability to comprehend simple thoughts, Purl. I already informed the board in this thread that those I care about are safe.

Now genuflect and kiss my ring.
Life experience has taught me the strongest personalities cloak the deepest insecurities and pathological need for attention. Sorry your daddy didn't hug you much, Purl - can't blame 'em.

You speak as one with true strength of personality!
Now, please have the strength of personality to back off with the crudeness.

*** Boring day in the markets. I am bored. Most excitement today is our ALMI gaining seven grand which is not all that exciting.

And least don't be so obvious people. Part of the appeal of humor is coming up with things not every person with a pulse can construct.

Based on what I am reading and hearing on the news, law enforcement and emergency services response was and is excellent. Looks response was quick and very effective; good teamwork between many different agencies.

My comment about the Keystone Cops was a knee jerk..That was really smart of the Cops to interview the press to see if they knew or saw anything..

Unrelated and something Glassman will enjoy, last night while listening to the Jim Lehrer News Hour, a talking head comments the Enron scam was the "9-11" of the financial world.

pfftt... Dustoff, most police departments are Keystone Cops. You know if this happened in our hometown, Deputy Barney Fife of Mayberry R.F.D would show up.
Over in the Capitol, all afforded very special extra treatment because politicians are more important and more valuable than the hooker down on Hill St. in Los Angeles being raped and beaten to death by five gang members.

While we are on this topic of my being insensitive...
Years back, actually decades I will not admit, my old man pisses me off. Sorry to confess I can no longer remember what he did to piss me off.
I am quite the seamtress! There was a time we were so poor, I made most of our clothes. Learned this from Grandma who taught me how to sew shirts out of old worn cotton sacks. So, I get out all my old man's nicely folded blue jeans, which I wash and fold, break out my sewing machine and sew all his pockets shut, front and back. Did a great job, even used that orange colored thread found on Levi jeans!
How fun to lay in bed, early morning, peeking at my object of anger trying to slip his truck keys into his front pocket, trying to slip his wallet into his back pocket. He became frustrated being in a hurry and needing to get to his construction job. He left, walking down our dirt driveway still trying to load his pockets.
Hilarious! Yep, I am insensitive.
However, he is more insensitive and you boys have not read this part of the story, before.
Years later, he asks me to help him unload a bunch of stuff at the dump. No problem. We are both very use to hard physical labor.
This dump is out in the middle of nowhere, out in the middle of razorback badlands. Very rugged terrain, ridges leaping up two-hundred feet and only two feet wide at the top, all due to being on the San Jacinto faultline. I performed a thesis on the area for my minor degree during college. I argue a proposed airport should not be built there because the San Jacinto fault is the most active in California and a huge aquifer lies beneath, you know, oil, jet fuel, drinking water.
The airport was not allowed to be constructed.
We are out at this dump in the middle of nowhere, in the badlands, all done unloading and my old man says to me, "Taha, I will pull the truck forward and you latch the tailgate." Usual stuff.
He pulls our one ton 55 Chevy truck forward, a real rust bucket with no floor boards, he pulls forward and keeps going! Out his window, he waves and yells, "Now sew my pants pockets shut again!"
He leaves me out there in the dump, in the middle of nowhere, in the worst of razor back terrain!
During the coming hours, some people show up and I have beg a ride back home, some ten miles away.
Do you know how embarrassing it is to have to beg for a ride out of dump and explain your husband brought you to the dump then left you there?
Now that is insensitive.
This time, I sewed shut all the fly openings on his boxer shorts.
dang, and i get in trouble just for purposely going too close to poorly-aimed sprinkler systems and timing it so that the spray goes straight in the passenger window and all over my wife. i'll have to tell her that it could be worse!
