Fun sized people have fun sized feet.

So fun-sized candy bars are only for fun-sized people? ;-)

I can write a note the office concerning the child carrying it (nothing bad) and they can't read it b/c it's a secret code!

So, not seeing the messages unless I hover or set to expanded view is intentional?

Remember "Who's on First"?

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on.

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO : I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses, and run my business. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

ABBOTT: I just did.

COSTELLO: You just did what?

ABBOTT: Recommend something.

COSTELLO: You recommended something?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

ABBOTT: Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: Word in Office.

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.

COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'W' if you don't start with some straight answers.
What about financial bookkeeping? Do you have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes. At no extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on 'START'.......

I’ve heard the Abbott and Costello version so many times I was totally reading that in their voices!

If anyone is interested, I just got an email which allowed me to download the new postage schedule for 2019. I'm assuming this is correct and that this link works.

For those who haven't seen the original, no one does it like Abbott and Costello.

I was just talking with my postman and he wasn't aware that the price increase had been approved, so maybe this was a premature email (but probably not).

1. While sitting in front of your computer, lift your right foot and make clockwise circles.

2. Now while doing that, draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.
Noting you can do about it.

3. AGREE if your foot changed direction. DISAGREE if it didn't.

Only the first time... after that I could do it fine... as long as I drew the 6 clockwise... starting at the join and then down and around to the top...

I guess we normally write the other way... counter clockwise top to the join..

Fun game...

Don't think that would go over big around here... this is grizzly bear / cougar country...

Brings to mind a graphic I saw on Pinterest... caption was... "IF you are going to be dumb... you better be able to run... FAST" Picture was a guy in a hoodie holding a Grizzly cub by the scruff of the neck... and Momma bear right behind him... and he was standing still... unaware.

Probably photo shopped though.
