Roll one foam earplug between thumb and forefinger with a bit of pressure until it is compressed and _quite_ skinny. When you've gotten it to its skinny state lightly pull the top of your ear, this slightly opens the ear canal, and place the skinny plug into your ear. Give it about 5 minutes and the earplug will return to its normal size and fill the ear canal. Repeat all steps for your other ear. |

I don't think lobster has been cheap > food during my lifetime. When I was a kid the family would take a car trip to New England for lobster. If my old man took a station wagon full of kids for lobster, it was cheap. Though I was reading in the late 1800's lobster was fed to prisoners until they rioted, and it was also used as fertilizer. > >> in the winter was a such a delicacy they were given as gifts for > >> Christmas. > OK, you're definitely not talking about 1961. Here: Back in 1965, a typical turkey raised to be Thanksgiving dinner weighed about 18 pounds. Thanks to poultry industry practices, the turkey of today weighs 57 percent more -- a comparatively gargantuan 28.2 pounds. Think about it this way: If a baby grew as fast as a modern day turkey does, at 18 weeks of age he'd weigh a mind boggling 1,500 pounds.

Finally reached diminishing returns when the regular "dialtone-free weekend" extended into weekdays for three consecutive months. Jumped ship to a low-priced Verizon Wireless reseller and now using a "free" half-smart Android phone. As recent events confirm, Verizon's landline services, including video distribution, receive short shrift and are a diminishing quantity because grossly overpriced wireless "plans" is where the gold is. Now I'm off to "root" this little Chinese turdball and dispose of more crapware than I ever thought possible.... -- Derald |
