Okay, quick quiz here. Does sleeping in a chair prevent drooling?

 

[MsnBama]

It's after noon on a Friday, think I can get away with a glass of wine?

Stupid people genuinely piss me off. Like...really.

Maybe the lack of chocolate or anything with any real flavor is beginning to take it's toll.

I dunno. I've never checked to see if I drool when sleeping in a chair.

Depends...what is the legal drinking age where you are?

Be prepared to be pissed.

Bite a lemon?

What does the legal drinking age have to do with it?

 

[saveliberty]

What does the legal drinking age have to do with it?

Easier to get away with drinking wine if your of legal age correct?

 

[Gracie]

Maybe I'm slow today, but I have no clue to the riddle. What is the answer for us slow folks?

Meanwhile, off to regular Doc in about an hour for regular checkup. Then...I dunno. Maybe the beach again although it is overcast again and a Friday..which means all the tourists are either already here or heading this way. I hate weekends. Too busy around here.

Welcome to the Coffee Shop MsnBama. I believe this is your first visit? Be sure to read over the OP to get the gist of what we are all about in here and then drag up a stool or chair and settle in. There are no stupid people in the Coffee Shop--everybody here is a mix of yin and yang, perfection and definitely fallible, and anybody on any given day is capable of saying something really smart or something even they would classify as a bit stupid. We are who we are here and accept each other for who we each are, and that means we sometimes have to overlook some stuff that might piss us off elsewhere and we appreciate the lovable in each of us. In the end, it is all good.

Anyhow we're happy you found us. As for that glass of wine, your first timer's complimentary beverages:

Focus on the spelling of the words in the riddle Gracie.

I hate weekends.

Here is a clue. What appears three times in weekends.

Good Morning!
Beautiful day here today. Hopefully I'll get my outside chores done before it gets too hot. I have to make a pot of cheese before I get more milk, so that will slow me down a bit.
I moved my recliner chair to my future studio. Lots of work to do before it becomes habitable, but I look forward to having my own private bolt hole, and a place where I can store my hobbies, arts & crafts, and other "valuables". Now all I need is time to get some of those projects finished!

 

[Gracie]

Too much effort to figure out riddles so soon after waking up.

Okay I get everything but why does making a pot of cheese affect getting more milk? Looks like the goats make the milk regardless of what you make out of it?

My bedroom in my bolt hole. Best thing I ever did was have my own room and boot Mr Gracie to his own room. He likes it that way too. The rest of the house we rarely go in. Roomies have that section but they rarely use it and stay in their own rooms when home.
Its really quiet around here.
I have the best room in the house though cuz I knocked a hole in the wall and installed a door straight to my back yard.

Depends on who's sleeping in the chair with ya.........

 

[Montrovant]

Drool or not, I wish I were more comfortable sleeping in a chair. It would help when my reflux is bothering me. I end up on my side too often, though.

Yep
My mastiff drooled all over me while she slept with me on the couch.
No room on any recliner with the two of us.

I'm sure some of you have seen this, but I get a kick out of it only because it is something I would sometimes so much like to do:

Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman.

The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.
————————————————————————–

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month.

By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it..

I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, — when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.

My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an OFFENSE under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.

Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete.

I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.

Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further.

When you call me, press buttons as follows:

IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH

#1. To make an appointment to see me

#2. To query a missing payment.

#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

#4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.

#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.

#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required.

Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.

#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through

#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry.

The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.

#10. This is a second reminder to press* for English.

While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?

Your Humble Client

And remember:
Don’t make old people mad.
We don’t like being old in the first place, so it doesn’t take much to piss us off.​

For us it is our office area which is just inside our front door with clear views to the front yard and street and the great room (and the big screen TV) and also into the kitchen and all the way through to the back yard. When we weren't out making calls on folks, this is where we lived writing reports, etc. and generally running the biz. So once we finally closed down the biz and retired, where are you most likely to find us? Right here in the office where we have access to TV in the living room or kitchen, where our Bose wave radio is within reach along with hundreds of our favorite music CDs, also the printer, and our PCs--we use the laptops elsewhere in the house. But the office chairs are some of the most comfortable seating in the house--easy to sleep in--and we have extra seating for those who come calling, service people to write up their bills, etc.
