Man, she could clog!! :) Before she was in the Eric Carman video of "Make Me Lose Control" the blonde that was in it was a high school girl of mine. She had more issues with her than bellvue in NYC. DS> I remember running QEMM and DESQView with GT Power on a dial-up BBS DS> under DOS 5.0 -- it was fun experimenting with those two. Quarterdeck DS> Software, who pioneered those...and TeleGraphix, who pioneered RIP DS> Graphics for BBS's, have both long since gone out of business. Another DS> former Sysop ran a ham radio BBS in the area (I think he's still in the DS> hobby) quipped that "RIP was what you did to a fart". I never cared for DESQView. OS/2 handled multitasking a LOT better. I had a copy of Apache on mine as well. Was a great OS for it's time, then linux came out. DS> I remember that HT...I doubt I have the connector cable from the HT DS> to the TNC, but I have a serial cable to USB interface I could run it DS> under that Packet Door that the late Dave Perry did, along with the MFJ DS> 1270C TNC. The thing is, I don't know if there's a packet system DS> locally anymore or not. This door allowed hams to connect on the DS> frequency, and leave the Sysop a PMail Message...hams that logged onto DS> the BBS were instead asked to use the regular Feedback To Sysop DS> message. Hams: we make our own packet cables :) I've never purchased one. Our regional MARS director asked me about which was better and I said "build your own." to which he did the opposite. An OVM tested that it was bad when he received it. I ended up making him one anyway which has lasted years. DS> The nice thing about that door is that it changed the callsign from DS> the Sysop to that of the user...so it made for accountability. Once the DS> user exited the door, the TNC callsign reverted back to the Sysop's DS> callsign. For whatever reason, when I tried to get it to work again, DS> the program thought the TNC was busy with another connection, and no DS> one could use it. Mine did too. I created a special batch file that preset parameters including mycall callsign. DS> Most of the radio stations are now satellite based with their on air DS> talent, unless they do "news talk". Actually that's not necessarily true. They do what's called "voice tracking". Guys are given cue-cards with what to say, and they read them into a voice recorder in a PC... then the PC mixes them on the air. You can tell because when they give the weather they never can give a current temp. DS> I'm the only one here, so I don't care. Besides, being home alone is DS> when you can poop with the door open. I do that anyway. It's what's not seen that tends to keep others away. Funny thing is when the cats come in and start scratching around me on the floor looking to bury what they don't know exists As irritating as IBS is, it does have it's perks as well DS> I have my own set of "falsies" (dentures)...and have been wearing DS> them for 21 years. This current set fits so well, that I haven't had to DS> use a single drop of adhesive (Fixodent, PoliGrip, etc.)...and they've DS> lasted at least 6 years. Falsies for 6 years without a glitch?!? I'm sure the Kardashians would like to know who your doctor is! DS> No holds barred, then. Not really. Makes for interesting driving. DS> Nothing like bribing the constabulary. It's common place there. DS> I still say she needs to go back to bartending. And, I liked Mr. Ed DS> much better..."I was born a dumb animal, Wilbur. What's your excuse??" .

I knew DS> The Good Lord was protecting me for 2 reasons: DS> 1) The guard could've shot me dead. DS> 2) I could've been hit by lightning for the third time in my life. or... 3) you were shaking so much they thought you were going into an epileptic seizure and didn't want to be accused of murder if you didn't "shake" out of it DS> The previous September, I had flown down to Dallas from Little Rock DS> for a square dance weekend (one of my other hobbies). The plane was DS> late leaving Little Rock, due to tornadoes in the region. Well, when I DS> finally got to the airport (I had worked a full day), all the flights DS> were skewed. They got me on the last flight out, but my bags were still DS> on the ground in Little Rock (I had flown Southwest, and they're who I DS> prefer to fly with). Anyway, they delivered the bags to me first thing DS> the next day. DS> On the way back on Sunday, the flight got into an oversell situation, DS> so I volunteered to get bumped, figuring I could get a later flight out DS> (they had numerous flights between Dallas Love Field and Little Rock). DS> Well, the next flight was much smaller, and I ended up getting put up DS> for the night, and missed a day of work (my boss wasn't happy about DS> that). But, with the voucher I got, the round trip airfare between DS> Little Rock and Orlando back in June, 1997, was only $17. :) That was DS> the event where that mess occurred. The moral of the story: Square Dancing is hazardous to your health DS> My last statement (I stressed I was an amateur radio operator, who DS> had worked in emergency communications) was "We had no trouble the DS> first 3 days of the convention. I see no reason why I should side with DS> someone besides the shuttle bus driver". Actually that's a horrible thing to say. It showed bias. DS> Oh, yes...the old Coleco football game deal...had one of them. :) I never did. Hated those things. DS> That's for rednecks. Or what do you call 32 redneck women?? A DS> full set of teeth. I have a door on the BBS with a bunch of the DS> "You Might Be A Redneck" saying (Jeff Foxworthy would be proud). In DS> looking at some of them, all I can say is "really". hahahahaha that's great! DS> The reason for the dark skin was that they were in areas where the DS> concentration of sunlight was much higher than in other areas, so the DS> melanin in their skin compensated for such by making them "dark". Naw... it was the first generation Sherwin Williams guy that did it DS> 1) "One doesn't get older...one gets better. And, I'm approaching DS> Magnificent". .... then came the 2nd childhood DS> 2) A picture of an ocelot, with pursed lips, like he has been sucking DS> tart, bitter persimmons. The caption says "I have PMS and a handgun. DS> Any questions??". That'd have been if "Billary" won the 2016 elections. DS> 3) A picture of a Mexican gaucho, with "burro poop" on his boot. The DS> donkey is grinning, and the gaucho says "I SAID 'SIT'!!" That silent H will get ya every time! DS> 4) "I don't need Google. My wife knows everything." haha now that's a classic! DS> 5) "This isn't a bald head and a beer belly. It's a solar panel, and a DS> gas tank for a sex machine". awesome!! DS> They live like The Lord while in church, and like the Devil once DS> they're outside. That's why so many are driven away, for all the DS> "hypocrites". Hmmm, sounds like the politicians in Washington, DC. :P Perhaps we answered the question "Mommy where do liberals come from?" DS> It's rare you can find a gem of a soulmate anymore. My late wife and DS> I were friends for 17 1/2 years before we hit it off...and never DS> thought about marriage...let alone to each other. I don't even look. Not worth my time anymore. If I want drama I'll turn on daytime TV. DS> Instead of QSL cards now, I do business cards for eyeball QSO's. But, DS> I doubt there'll be any local hamfest in central Arkansas anymore. The DS> clubs still bitch at who can do severe weather the best, etc. In a DS> disaster, folks need to put all of that aside. We've had a few already. DS> There have been several actual deals from patients getting the DS> colonoscopies, such as: DS> 1) One patient has arrows, with INSERT HERE, pointing to his anal DS> orifice. Like they need a hint??!! DS> 2) "Take it easy, Doc! You're boldly going where no man has gone DS> before!" DS> 3) "Find Amelia Earhart yet?" DS> 4) "Can you hear me NOW?!!" DS> 5) "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" DS> 6) "You know, in Arkansas....we're now legally married." DS> 7) "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?" DS> 8) "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out....you do DS> the Hokey Pokey....and yeeow!" DS> 9) "There, there! Now I know how a Muppet feels!" DS> 10) "Remember, if your hand doesn't fit, you must acquit!" DS> 11) "Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity." DS> 12) "Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not, DS> in fact, up there?" I'll have to steal these I enjoy zinging my PCP when he does my prostate exam. First time I said "Now that you did that, you're going to have to take me out to dinner!". His jaw dropped to the floor and couldn't speak for a good couple minutes LOL Last time I asked if Dr. Jack Horner pulled out a plumb When he asked me if I had Covid-19 I said no I had Covid-18. He said "what's that?" I said "it's where someone gives you covid, you owe them 1, and you dont know who you owe!" DS> A friend of mine will NOT go to a doctor, clinic, etc., as he doesn't DS> want folks to see him naked. I can NOT convince him that "they've seen DS> it all before". No they haven't... they haven't seen HIS Get his logic now? haha DS> Ever since I quit drinking soda pop, and started drinking a half DS> gallon of diet green tea citrus each day, it's like taking Lasix...but DS> it beats having kidney stones. I drink Gatoraide or Iced Green Tea for something cold, mainly though it's water or coffee... just like a good woman too: black, hot, wet, and sassy I said that once to a young black woman who I knew had a boyfriend... she slipped and asked me if I wanted some coffee I don't dip my quill in other's ink wells. DS> And, the reason I'm answering this at this hour, is that I ran out of DS> the prescription acid reflux tablets, and my pharmacy had to fax in a DS> refill, which won't be available until after they open this morning. DS> The reflux was giving me fits laying down, so I figured I'd work on the DS> BBS; plus we're in a bit of a lull in Little Rock weather wise, right DS> now. It is supposed to be storming toward sunrise, and during the day. DS> Parts of southeast Arkansas have gotten nearly 2 feet of rain in nearly DS> 2 days. Try some milk - a base often counters acid. DS> When I was on jury duty, we were told to park at the parking meters, DS> but NOT to put any coins in them (we were only getting $20 a day, but DS> lawyers were getting $1000 an HOUR (must be nice)). They told us to DS> "sign the ticket(s), but not the envelope"...and bring them in the DS> next time we served (you had to serve 8 times in 6 months, but only DS> once a week...I made sure I got my time in early). Anyway, the law DS> noted that active jurors could NOT be arrested, fined, and jailed, DS> for not paying parking tickets while on jury duty. But, if we were DS> arrested, fined, and jailed, the court would spend the money, and DS> effort, to clear our names, and expunge that from our records. Our court had a special jurist parking lot - the far end of the lot. I wouldn't trust the court to expunge even a summary offense that should never be. Think about the "should never be" part for a while and ask just how honest law is. As long as it's run by man it will never be fair or flawless. Too many cases are being overturned by new DNA evidence, which shows how over-eager prosecutors are. DS> Again, only each individual and The Lord know the extent of their guilt DS> or innocence in every circumstance...and, that applies to DS> everyone...whether we want to admit it or not. BR> Quite true that. DS> Folks think I'm a veteran with my patriotic cap and callsign, but my DS> vision was so poor, and so were my feet, that I never would've passed DS> the physical. Me either. My wheezing is too loud, and my respitory system too weak due to asthma. DS> Darn double standard. And, no matter who is in power, the other side DS> will do all they can to get the power back. Absolutely. DS> I saw a meme with a roll of toilet paper...advertising the new DS> currency: BUTTCOIN. Ha! ....
