Subj : Re: VE To : Brian Rogers From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri May 28 2021 12:40:00 BR> Hello Daryl; Hi, Brian... DS> Contesting is one thing that never appealed to me. And, I just eQSL DS> now. BR> Me either. Field day was the closest I got to contesting and even then BR> it was more for the outdoor overnighter. I usually am doing ham radio nets in the evenings, or I go square dancing (there are dancing hams ). At a National Convention several years ago, I used ham radio to save someone's life. DS> Mine doesn't renew until I turn 69, just under 8 years from now. The DS> way the powder keg in the Middle East is, I may not have to worry about DS> being around by then. BR> 2025 here... and counting... 2029 for me. And as for 69, all snide remarks will be relegated to The Fertilizer Net (hi hi). DS> That sounds like it. There used to be an A&W in Hot Springs, DS> Arkansas. A club in Ravenna, Ohio has a gathering at the area A&W every DS> summer. BR> Ahh nice! They should have it around the time Xenia is. Fatten us all BR> up even more Too bad Xenia got zapped again this year due to COVID-19. As far as I can tell, the Huntsville Hamfest is still on. I went there 4 years ago, but the bus ride to and from Little Rock nearly killed me. I had to transfer in Nashville, but the seating was so tight that my legs locked up on me, and I nearly fell when I stood up. To make matters worse, my pants fell when I stood up. Had I not had the Depends on, it would've been "full moon rising". DS> You bet your sweet bippy. BR> I think I lost my bippy when I had my colonoscopy I'm due for another one...but have to get the bathrooms repaired after an incident 2 months ago. I'm still working out things with the insurance company and the contractor. DS> Or like the meme with the doctors on strike. You couldn't read the DS> picket signs, as they were all written in shorthand. BR> Oh I've seen some beauts! Especially where Fauci is concerned. The Covid-19 shot is known as the Fauci Ouchee. DS> 1) Overmedicated?? We have a prescription for that. DS> 2) Side effects may include hand and wrist pain...and that's from just DS> trying to open the container. DS> 3) Rare side effects may include death. BR> I love how almost all scripts now have a side effect which includes BR> death now a day. Why don't we just all go visit Dr. Achmed the dead BR> terrorist: Silence! I kill you!!! There are several funny ones that Jeff Dunham has done, and Achmed seems to be the overall favorite. DS> They get wined and dined by all the drug reps, then have to listen DS> through their spiels. Some clinics restrict the time the drug reps DS> can come into the places. Then you add the cost of radio/TV/print/ DS> internet ads, and that's why they're so expensive...and why Big Pharma DS> doesn't want things going generic. BR> I know all about that. Funny too how they all seem to have your full BR> prescription in their offices too. With my luck, I go to the drugstore, and my formulary doesn't cover it. Daryl ....
