To depart from the current thread's tendencies for just a moment.
How many of the old geezers here have logged on to ask a question, got distracted by other posts, answered a reply to one of their own and then tried to remember what they logged on to ask?
I just thought of something I wanted the hive mind to answer, thought was important enough to ask, logged on, did all of the above then cannot remember for the life of me why I logged on. I think I need to write the query down with pen and ink before I even approach the keyboard. Problem with getting old, I suppose?
Now what was I talking about again?

That must be the Alzheimer's log in. Just like the Alzheimer's walk where you get up, go to another room for some purpose, then walk back to where you started from, then you remember why you went to the other room. Exercise helps to prevent Alzheimer's so that is why that is referred to the Alzheimer's walk.

GRUMP!
I went to a store to buy some decent beer. I had a ride so I did not have to walk. I was going to buy a twelve pack. I put it on the counter and took out some money. The cashier asked me when my birthdate was. No reason for the question stated. I told her that she did not need to know that. She said that she would not sell me the beer without that information. I said FINE! or words to that effect as I backed away from her so she was out of reach of my hands.. She seemed shocked at my reaction.
GRUMP!
So I have
No BEER! [:@]
GRUMP!
I have white hair on my face, I saw no sign posted where they want to to state OUT LOUD FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR when you were born. No, they were not asking for a photo ID with the birthdate on it.
GRUMP!
Around here, they do let miners to buy alcoholic beverages and consume them so why not me?
GRUMP!

Ethnomusicologist Conrad LaForte points out that, in song, the lark (l'alouette) is the bird of the morning, and that it is the first bird to sing in the morning, hence waking up lovers and causing them to part, and waking up others as well, something that is not always appreciated. . . .

Well, I love coffee, but I can only have "leaded" once a week. The rest of the time I have to drink dwcaf ... I'm ok with that, found some good decaf, has the right taste, so I'm mostly good.

Actually decaff still has caffeine but the chemical that may be used can cause cancer if I remember correctly.

Caffeine may be removed with water. Some companies do it that way.

Called "Swiss Water Decaffeinated" IIRC. Not sure why they have to use Swiss water... [8|]

GRUMP !
I had some doubts on the intelligence of certain lawyers, but one of them removed any doubts.
He managed to state that a tramway was responsible of a traffic collision, with the truck of his client.
According to him, the truck was correctly parked on the side, and tramway came to hit it.
I didn’t know trams could leave their tracks, and come back on them after a little stroll.
Like I said, I don’t have doubts anymore regarding him. Only certainties.[8|]
And some people say those youngsters are the future.[:(]

Almost all use the water process now ... at least any that you would buy in the US .... I expect in Europe as well.

Decaf.... a waste of water and energy. Used to work in the radio shack of a DDG back in the day - sucked coffee down like a mule eating briars. Between Combat, Radio, the engine and boiler rooms on ships, I think the US Navy has kept most of the coffee companies in the US afloat.

I would ask a railway expert not affiliated with the lawsuit if this could happen. If this expert states that it is impossible, ask if you could quote that person. Then, if there is a place to report said lawyer, report said lawyer. If at all possible, take away his privilege to practice in your court room and state your reason to the the person in charge of the court system and maybe said lawyer could be suspended from practicing law within said court system.
GRUMP!
Although removing any incompetent lawyers should be
