It was Chill Wills. Remember him and his voice?<br /><br />I wonder why I'm watching a Gunsmoke rerun when there's a big basketball game on? Dunno. I am watching it in between watching other stuff. I'm not emotionally invested in either team.

I looked up "keyboard buffer" and I have a feeling I wouldn't know what you were saying even in an email (or 15) LOL<br />Here's one I got today:<br /> Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working the family business.When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune. <br /> One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. <br /> Her natural beauty took his breath away.<br /> "I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her,<br />"But in just a few years my father will die and I will inherit $200 million". <br /> Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and, three weeks later, <br /><br /><br />she became his stepmother.Pookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189128607399171184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-31900638122713717832013-04-08T18:11:54.284-05:002013-04-08T18:11:54.284-05:00What a fun , enjoyable

Blend cornstarch into soy sauce. Dissolve bouillon cub (or add granules) in 1 1/4 cups boiling water. To skillet, add soy-corn starch mixture, bouillion, water chestnuts and pork (or chicken). Cook and stil until thickened and bubbly. Serve over hot cooked rice. Makes 2 servings. I usually either freeze part of it or eat it the next day. It's quite delicious.<br /><br />Lucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278649651081244724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-83208341315634604822013-04-08T16:07:33.730-05:002013-04-08T16:07:33.730-05:00Tin @ 12:29, you are in rare form today, LOL!

And yes, HG’s video was worth watching again – and it was sweet of you to think of him when you saw it.<br /><br />Irish Miss @ 2:02, I have many recipes to cook for one. But my favorite thing is to make a batch of stew, chili or spaghetti sauce, put it into individual serving sizes, and freeze them. But tonight I am making stuffed bell peppers. I’ll make two (and freeze one for later, of course!)

Normal, Vacuum and Hydromatic.<br />Normal allowed manual shifting with the shift on the steering column and the left foot clutch pedal.<br />Vacuum allowed manual shifting without the clutch pedal.<br />Hydromatic allowed automatic shifting similar to most modern cars of today.

Something is stuck in the computer's software, it seems like. The keyboard "buffer" has filled up and the computer is beeping as if to say, "Stop typing for a sec until I can absorb what you have already typed." Does this happen when you are using a particular software program?
