@AmyGDalaMD I’ve been a computer programmer since 1981. I’ll put as many or as few spaces as I want, thank you very much, and let the software decide how to reformat after my brain dump is complete.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I had no clue, either. I barely remember what I ate for lunch two days ago. However, Twitter remembered. How nice for it. #MyTwitterAnniversary

@heinzeenoneaya Because it “clicked” ten times. Fun Fact. I was able to “dial” a valid phone number, including one with a zero in the last four digits, simply by doing very quick “hang up and release” of the cradle X times in a row with a half second pause inbetween digits,

@heinzeenoneaya If the zero was represented as zero clicks, the system would never know you wanted to dial “0” and there would be no need for telephone operators as no one would be able to call them.

@EdwardVanWinkle My side effects started 24 hours after my Johnson and Johnson shot and lasted about three hours — one hour of mild shoulder muscle aches, one hour of no appetite, one hour of body chills, folliwed by eating a two pound salad and being too hot.
