I feel so far out of the loop!  Patiently plodding through old
packets... and knowing that this little respite isn't going to be
followed any time soon by another one, in all likelihood... ah, well..

 NB>> Perhaps the etimology includes such things as "sinfully rich", where
 NB>> it's so good it couldn't possibly be good for you...?
 ML> This is probably it or at least very close to the origin.
 ML> 
 NB>> Or "evil" being used instead of wonderful...

The old opposites slang now being picked up on...

 ML> Story of a friend who was visiting a craft shop attached to a
 ML> state prison, whose inmates kept busy by making stuff, and the
 ML> sale proceeds would be split between the institution and the
 ML> artisans. She was impressed by the quality and value of the
 ML> goods and exclaimed, "These prices are so low they're criminal!"
 ML> To which the cashier said, "We all are, lady, we all are."

Cute.  :)
 
 ML>> CAT scan Monday because I have good insurance or something.
 NB>> Anything come of that...?  Those do show more than regular x-rays...

 ML> Clear, except for the nodules that appear to be ancient and
 ML> that have not changed.

That's good news.
 
 NB>> The better doctors agree though that (just about) anything in
 NB>> moderation isn't a problem for our health... 

 ML> And even if there are benefits to abstention, there are also
 ML> benefits to not stressing about anything.

Exactly.

 ML>> Speaking of mail sorting, what's going on with FIDO?
 NB>> It appears to be a momentary glitch.

 ML> Luckily, yes, so far.

I noted that finally some Fido messages I had left on Tiny's months ago
finally came loose and into the echoes... I was just about to remember
to leave him a note wondering about them...  And it appears that Fidotel
has been down for over a week now?  Haven't had a connect there, but
maybe it's just when I'm calling...?  About all I've been able to do in
the last three weeks is get my packets, and usually play my turns... 
Did read some of the packets, but only now getting to do any replying...
