Stash raiding Polly's gators

Polly Esther wrote: Bless his heart. He told me he wanted to go stash raiding on his own. (sigh). They grow up all too soon. Polly Something like that happened when I lived in Florida. A neighbor went out to get his paper, and a 6-foot gator was sitting on it. He called Dept of Wildlife or something. Because of the shape of the courtyard where the front door was, the gator could not be turned around. So he had to be chased/escorted through the house to get out the sliding glass door in the back, and back to the pond a street or two over. Not something I'd ever want to deal with before coffee. -georg Suddenly the pooping pigeons around here don't seem bad at all... Hanne in London |

recycled phone numbers, was Polly's gators
Larisa, I can go you one better --
We had our phone number changed about 2 years ago (paranoid DH, loooonng story) and the one the phone company gave us had been the *fax* number for a small auto repair shop. You can eventually convince a person (pharmacy, bill collector, whatever) that they have the wrong number and to stop calling you. You absolutely *cannot* do that with an automated fax machine from some repo or insurance company! We regularly get calls at 3 am from some east coast machine programmed to start calling at 6 am! rant mode on Did you know that the National Do Not Call Registry no longer covers automated faxes? The original bill did, but our dear leader-in-chief saw fit to allow an amendment a couple of years ago. They got this passed by requiring that each company print a phone number for you to call and ask them to not call you again. So, you use up your toner or film and your paper to print out their fax to get their phone number and call it. After one ream of paper, I gave up. Took the phone out of my bedroom and told all distant family members if they have an emergency in the middle of the night, don't bother calling because I won't hear the phone :-( After two years I still get these at least once a day. Phone company's suggestion is to change my phone number again but they cannot guarantee it won't keep happening. Gonna move soon and will get a new number then. Sigh. rant mode off Anne in CA annerudolph AT comcast DOT net Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, fact, or tact are transmission errors. http://community.webshots.com/user/annerudolph3 http://www.frappr.com/rctq http://annerudolph.home.comcast.net/anne.htm off kilter quilter wrote: Adding to the list: Ronald Allen..yep, put his name here.

Polly's gators
I feel your pain Kate. I am ready to go!
Polly would be a good woman to help us. Taria Kate T. wrote: Hey Taria: I got a sister like that also. She worked in phycho wards for a living and it rubbed on on her too. We can take the sisters to Polly's and watch the picnic on the swamp bank. Make a bet dem gators will smile. I know Polly would serve us finger sandwiches and tea while we sit in the shade. Kate T.

Y'all call sausage sandwiches finger
sandwiches?! Over here, a finger sandwich is a very dainty sandwich made from crustless bread, then cut into long narrow rectangles. This would be served at a tea. For the party at Polly's, I'd suggest Spam Sandwiches instead!! LOL PAT in VA/USA Kate Dicey wrote: Jessamy wrote: while I agree that it's good to watch Polly's gators picnic I'm not sure I would want to eat FINGER sandwiches ... I think I would prefer more civilised jam ones.. or cucumber... or marmite... heck I might even go for a penutbutter and jelly one! It's OK, Jessamy - they are saussages really. They just LOOK like fingers... |

Here a finger sandwich usually means one made from finger rolls - like hot-dog rolls but tiddly, and often made with butter and semi-sweet, rather like brioche. In Scotland you get a different idea again: Lorne sausage (a square slicing sausage) in a morning roll (like a bit floury bap), along with bacon and a fried egg!

One of my apartments was one digit off for WalMart Service Desk in our town. You can't convince someone they've dialed the wrong number when they have a serious beef with Waly World over something. But at least they don't call at 4 a.m. -georg |
