What people did for fun in 1785

To render hideous the Faces of all the Company.

Dissolve some salt and saffron in some spirits of wine; dip a little tow in it and set fire to it. At this light, those who are of a fair complexion will appear green, and the red of the lips and cheeks turn to a deep olive colour.

Free readers fer the phone doc - just as nice as kindle

There is a free kindle app but I found a nicer one

FBReader is fast and highly customisable e-book reader for devices running Android OS (version 1.5 or higher is supported, 2.0 or higher is recommended).

Nah - I don’t know anything about that.

Nothing to know - ya turn the fuking thing on and follow yer nose

If you cud do PC then it’s easy

Doc does not have a mobile phone, so that’s useless to him.

I tol him fetch a phone off cl fer 30 bucks or so

I don’t want one. If I became like the phonies, I’d miss all the beauty of the world I see all about.
