Subj : Re: Various Things To : Brian Rogers From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Jun 11 2021 01:15:00 Brian, BR> Before she was in the Eric Carman video of "Make Me Lose Control" the BR> blonde that was in it was a high school girl of mine. She had more BR> issues with her than bellvue in NYC. There's a YouTube video of the Nickel Plate Road Steam Engine 765, in a vintage ad for Coca-Cola. The young girl in that one is a cutie as well. :) BR> I never cared for DESQView. OS/2 handled multitasking a LOT better. I BR> had a copy of Apache on mine as well. Was a great OS for it's time, BR> then linux came out. I didn't work with OS/2 that much. BR> Hams: we make our own packet cables :) I've never purchased one. Our BR> regional MARS director asked me about which was better and I said BR> "build your own." to which he did the opposite. An OVM tested that it BR> was bad when he received it. I ended up making him one anyway which has BR> lasted years. My hands aren't steady enough from the nervous system damage with the 2 lightning strikes over the years. At times, I notice I have "tremors", like I'm getting Parkinson's Disease (I hope not). BR> Mine did too. I created a special batch file that preset parameters BR> including mycall callsign. Dave Perry's door did that...I used it quite a bit, but don't have a rig or cable for it now...never mind an antenna and a connector. But, there may not even be a packet BBS in the central Arkansas area anymore. BR> Actually that's not necessarily true. They do what's called "voice BR> tracking". Guys are given cue-cards with what to say, and they read BR> them into a voice recorder in a PC... then the PC mixes them on the BR> air. You can tell because when they give the weather they never can BR> give a current temp. I also note that unless a local host is there, they never give the time, either. BR> I do that anyway. It's what's not seen that tends to keep others away. BR> Funny thing is when the cats come in and start scratching around me on BR> the floor looking to bury what they don't know exists As irritating BR> as IBS is, it does have it's perks as well Been there, done that. Although before my wife died over 14 years ago, I was being a smartass, and I should've known better (she had both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Psychology). I said to her "My head is so far up my butt, that I can see my throat". Without missing a beat, grinning wrly, she said "that's why your eyes are brown". I was asking for it, but wasn't expecting her to come back with such a zinger. BR> Falsies for 6 years without a glitch?!? I'm sure the Kardashians would BR> like to know who your doctor is! Affordable Dentures...got the pair for around $450 (upper and lower). They didn't have to be fancy...I just wanted to be able to eat...and, they look surprisingly real. BR> No need to insult those highly trained mixologists They ought to be ashamed that she ever was one. BR> or... 3) you were shaking so much they thought you were going into an BR> epileptic seizure and didn't want to be accused of murder if you didn't BR> "shake" out of it Thankfully, epilepsy is one thing I've never had to worry about. BR> The moral of the story: Square Dancing is hazardous to your health Actually, the hugs by the women can last more than 64 beats of music. BR> Actually that's a horrible thing to say. It showed bias. It was true...we had no problems the first 3 days of the convention with the other security guards or bus drivers. BR> Naw... it was the first generation Sherwin Williams guy that did it Never mind "Ask Sherwin Williams". :P DS> 1) "One doesn't get older...one gets better. And, I'm approaching DS> Magnificent". BR> ... then came the 2nd childhood We're all kids at heart. 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??". BR> That'd have been if "Billary" won the 2016 elections. I heard that when it became apparent that she lost, she went into a wild, practically demonic rage, throwing items everywhere. They had to get several folks to forcibly restrain here. Yet, you never heard a peep about that. 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'!!" BR> That silent H will get ya every time! H for Hoo, Boy!! :P DS> 4) "I don't need Google. My wife knows everything." BR> haha now that's a classic! The guy in the photo looked so pensive. :P 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". BR> awesome!! I don't have a bald head, but with the hot weather coming, I like to keep my hair short. And, I'm building up insulation for the upcoming winter. 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 BR> Perhaps we answered the question "Mommy where do liberals come from?" Exactly. Basically "The Lord Made The Rules"...His Creation, His Rules. Reminds me of the joke where the athiest said to God that they can create their own humans....then the athiest said "First, you take some dirt"... and God interjected "No, get your own dirt". BR> I don't even look. Not worth my time anymore. If I want drama I'll turn BR> on daytime TV. I never was a fan of soap operas. The only drama I liked was when I was in theatre arts. BR> We've had a few already. I noted storms in Montana Thursday night with 80-90 mph winds, with widespread wind damage. Parts of southeast Arkansas got nearly 2 feet of rain in under 2 days. One community near Little Rock got 3 inches of rain in under an hour. With each thunderstorm having a half million tons of water, and the storm just sitting there "taking a dump", it's no wonder hellacious flooding is the result. BR> I'll have to steal these I enjoy zinging my PCP when he does my BR> prostate exam. First time I said "Now that you did that, you're going BR> to have to take me out to dinner!". His jaw dropped to the floor and BR> couldn't speak for a good couple minutes LOL Last time I asked if Dr. BR> Jack Horner pulled out a plumb First, stealing granted. :) Second, what a good boy Jack was. :P Third, there were 2 cartoons I saw for the prostate check. I showed one to my urologist, and I thought he'd die laughing. 1) A man is sitting on the exam table, with a C-Clamp around his hips, holding his butt cheeks together. The doctor notes on his pad "Patient is rather reluctant to have his prostate checked". 2) A feeble old man is on the exam table, and the doctor walks in, with his middle finger swollen to the size of the 3 fingers on his hand (except for the thumb and pinkie). He said "I'm sorry I'm late for your prostate check. I slammed my finger in the car door this morning". I think I'd be wanting to reschedule. :P And, if the right amount of pressure is applied, the man can ejaculate; then he gets awfully sleepy. :P BR> When he asked me if I had Covid-19 I said no I had Covid-18. He said BR> "what's that?" I said "it's where someone gives you covid, you owe them BR> 1, and you dont know who you owe!" Really. BR> No they haven't... they haven't seen HIS Get his logic now? haha That's true. Several years ago, some of the ladies I square danced with were nurses on my ward. They gave me untold grief, and pulled my chain. BR> I drink Gatoraide or Iced Green Tea for something cold, mainly though BR> it's water or coffee... just like a good woman too: black, hot, wet, BR> and sassy I said that once to a young black woman who I knew had a BR> boyfriend... she slipped and asked me if I wanted some coffee I BR> don't dip my quill in other's ink wells. True. I never acquired a taste for coffee. To me, JavaScript are the instructions to make coffee with. BR> Try some milk - a base often counters acid. I didn't have any milk in the house. It's rare I drink or eat dairy products anymore. And no, I'm not like the lactose intolerant cow with the barbershop quartet "Lunch Break", telling of Old MacDonald's deformed farm. Search YouTube for "Lunch Break Carnegie Hall"...it's a scream. BR> Our court had a special jurist parking lot - the far end of the lot. BR> I wouldn't trust the court to expunge even a summary offense that BR> should never be. Think about the "should never be" part for a while and BR> ask just how honest law is. As long as it's run by man it will never be BR> fair or flawless. Too many cases are being overturned by new DNA BR> evidence, which shows how over-eager prosecutors are. True. But, my health has gotten so bad now, that there's no way I could serve again. BR> Me either. My wheezing is too loud, and my respitory system too weak BR> due to asthma. Thankfully, I never had respiratory issues. DS> I saw a meme with a roll of toilet paper...advertising the new DS> currency: BUTTCOIN. BR> Ha! Never mind the Charmin commercial "singing" about "going to the bathroom" (a subtle way of saying "taking a dump"). Daryl ....
