Wild-Assed 2

[mimo_100]

Sometimes you want to present an excel spreadsheet when posting on the MrMarket site. I found a couple of "apps" that will do the work for you. Here is one that works well:

https://theenemy.dk/table/

In part 3) click on "BBC Code"
In 4), click on "Create BBC table"
You will then see the raw BBC Code - if you scroll down you will see a preview. I highlighted the raw code, copied it, then pasted it into the reply at MrMarket.

I used the "app" to align the columns in my post above.

You could use this app for reporting the POTY results - rather than having to create an image on Imgur.

Good God. Those patterns were all we ever used! Ever have to make your own clothes? It's an art. With a Singer sewing machine, of course. Thank you, Mom!

I do recall a song sung by Irish singer Mary Black called Katie in which she mentions "the old pedalled Singer" and I knew what that was when I heard that. And have seen at least one of the old machines with that wide foot pedal which made the sewing mechanism go up and down. The man who does my hair married a woman from the old country who is a seamstress with her own shop in Hamilton, MA. She gets all the work she can handle, does much better than he does.

Simplicity Pattern is another I never heard of.

I don't know when the Nifty 50 list was compiled. I remember going to the S.S. Kresge store as a child. It was sort of a poor relative of Woolworths at the time. S.S. Kresge lived to the ripe old age of 99 and passed away in 1966. In 1977 S.S. Kresge stores were renamed K-Mart.

If you are a fan of Art Cashin here is his yearly Christmas interview at Bobby Van's at 25 Broad:

The above from 12-19-19. Peter Tuchman @EinsteinoWallSt just tweeted "Please everyone we need prayers .... Arthur Cashin our illustrious mentor was in a car accident on Thursday ... Broke his hip ... just came out of successful surgery ... docs said it went well"

Louetta, How about a nice aria? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfK8t4j7I64

Very nice. 1976. I was just lookin' at this, something else from before I was born I enjoy. Takes him three minutes to sing but I enjoyed it. Features Seeger's grandson Tao (in between them) and Guthrie's three daughters.
