You're not the only one who prepared for dealing with guys like me. I knew a fellow who trained his police dog to alert on such troublemakers.
Then quick as a wink, they'd have the potential perpetrators locked up in a rolling security vehicle which he would pound on, and he'd reward the dog with a treat.

Yep.

It was a team with a "nick"-knack, a paddy-whack, and a gift to the dog of a bone.
What do you plan to read on your Nook and Kindle?
How nice to have a relative turn up!
A box from Dover arrived today, including your paper-doll book. I’ll let you know when I get it in the mail. I’ll be driving Tom to school most days, so I’ll get by the P.O. regularly.
That would be 1400 PST.
I’m always available for prayers...I never know when I may need them, or when I can look forward to a future event that has need of Extra Help! Thanks!
I mostly use the Nook for games, but I do have about 50 books on it, in various stages of being read.
The Kindle is the “utility” ebook...I have about 300 books on it, and usually download one or two freebies a day, if I can. I just finished an ebook that took place in the 1920’s and 30’s in Shanghai, China, and it was really quite good. “Gangs of Shanghai,” or some such. Now I’m reading one set in the beginnings of WWII. But I have mysteries, fantasies, sci-fi, biographies, history...even, YES: SCRIPTURES on both pads!!!
I also have a game of 21 on the Kindle. The Kindle was a gift when it was replaced by a spendier model, but it’s all good! It has no backlight and no color, which the Nook does, so when I want to relax at night, I shut off the lamp and play Solitaire until my eyelids are ready to slam shut. Not much chance of that happening tomorrow! LOL!
See? I knew you would have a ready answer...
... or would soon make something up.
And I got a New Book Catalog from Dover today...just what I needed...
I began to research some of the herbal/homeopathic remedy books on anemia, and have been putting bits and pieces together of the information I’ve gleaned since the doctor’s phone call last night. It looks like I will be having three units of blood. The hemoglobin didn’t change this morning, but the count is so low that three units is probably a safe amount.
There wasn’t an awful lot of info in the books about foods rich in iron, but according to what I have found so far, raisins are at the top of the list; when I stop at Walmart for my snacks and water for tomorrow, I will add raisins to the list. It’s a good thing I was blessed with a little extra dinero this month. Between the gas to get there and back and the snacks, it will be like a day at the spa...only not quite as fun!
Monday, I have the chemical stress test for my heart, so it’s a good thing I’m having the transfusion tomorrow. At least I won’t be so worn out when they are done with me on Monday. And it will be in the same place I’m going to tomorrow...*sigh*
You? Make something up? Why Bob...you know you can go to Heck just as fast for lying as you can for stealing...
I prefer to think you “embellish”...;o]
Yours, Bob.
;^)
Soitenly!
Tom did very well with Ash, too, iirc—good about letting her sniff around and read the doggie newspapers.
You can?? Uh-oh....
Hey, how's Mr. Bill doing? Getting you around OK through all the snow and slush?
Good luck for tomorrow, face.
14.00PST. Is nearly Monday. ...
Couldn’t you stop in a motel, if you need to return the following day? Just a thought, as you will be running on fresh ‘oil’ and probably exhausted?
Yeah!
You gotta watch out for that “Darksheare” guy!
I hear he has an army of clones!
Or was that gnomes?
Pygmies.
Pygmies, hopped up on my coffee and pop rocks!
Pygmies: Hopped and popped. Has a ring to it, doesn’t it?
Mr. Bill is humming right along! I just wish I had some place close to take him out and put him through his 4X4 paces!
Once I get the stereo and alarm fixed, I’ll be good to go!
I eat spinach for iron.
Thanks, Moosie!
I have a friend that lives in the area I have to be in, and if I can arrange it, I will spend the night there. It is more appealing than making that drive three times in as many days, especially since I am no longer (for many years!) gainfully employed. At least a job would replace the petrol... ;o]
The sheer boredom of lying around all afternoon and into the evening is probably going to wear me out...
