What are you thinking about? Part VI

[Jiro]

Thinking about what to do with my $87 Amtrak e-voucher. It expires in June, and I'd like to use at least half of it before it does. I may use 1/2 of it to visit a friend of mine, so maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.

sell it

sell it

Can't. It's under my name, and I have to be physically present to authorize the person to use it. That's their rules. However, I will see what I can do to use it.

Why don't you visit your old friend by using the amtrak ticket?

Strange you mention that. That's exactly what I'm gonna try and do. We'll see if this works out.

yup. a standard protocol. my brother's friend does that for living. it was routine for her to fly several states away just to talk to one person and then fly back to DC.

We've also been the interviewees. A few times we've had NIS agents come to our door asking about former neighbors and shipmates.

Don't you mean NCIS? That's what they go by now.

You can give your friend your old Axe spray so it doesnt go to waste.

:roll: As if! If I had my way, it'd go straight to the incinerator, but then that would go BOOM.

Because of my allergy to nickel, that's why. That might explain a lot. In these pictures, take a look at the langu they're in.

Too blurry but it looks like a Cyrillic alphabet, which might be Russian or Greek.

It's probably a Russian knock-off distributed by the underground KGB thru the Russian mafia in the USA to incapacitate American men in preparation for an attack.

The last time I tried to shave hair off, I ended up badly cutting myself, so I haven't done that since. Lesson learned.

Are you a competitive swimmer?

That might explain the reaction I got. Well, I'm not incapacitated, but I quit using it now. Hopefully it'll get better.

 

[Reba]

I did. I never knew what it's for, or how it works. In fact, I don't understand how they do it. :|

How what works?

 

[Reba]

No, I mean NIS. They were NIS when we dealt with them.

 

[ChicagoBlue2]

How what works?

What the posts above said. One of the ADers kindly explained it to me, and now I got it. In fact, I need to add that word to my dictionary.

That was a long time ago. Rarely hear that these days. And I learned that there is a NCIS office at Great Lakes.

Deal with it.

 

[ChicagoBlue2]

Deal with it.

I know, I know. Still makes me cringe.

Wondering about CI's and what the effect is on tinnitus. But mainly wondering about the process before surgery and if they do an MRI brain scan or what in the way of plan of attack. I am off to those threads.
