Subj : Re: Various Things To : Daryl Stout From : Brian Rogers Date : Fri Jun 11 2021 11:39:00 Hey Daryl; Perhaps we should move to Netmail since most of our banter isn't about Ham Radio :) -=> Daryl Stout wrote to Brian Rogers <=- DS> There's a YouTube video of the Nickel Plate Road Steam Engine 765, in DS> a vintage ad for Coca-Cola. The young girl in that one is a cutie as DS> well. :) The days when Coke didn't play political favorites too. DS> I didn't work with OS/2 that much. You missed some great times with a fun OS. It's DOS support rocked! We used it for running multiple sessions of MFNOS packet. If they didn't stop at Warp 4 I would probably have never became a linux partner developer with Debian and RedHat. I had no intention of switching. DS> My hands aren't steady enough from the nervous system damage with the DS> 2 lightning strikes over the years. At times, I notice I have DS> "tremors", like I'm getting Parkinson's Disease (I hope not). Find a set or two of those Rat Shack helping hands. I use those all the time because of my neuropathy. Mind over matter! DS> Dave Perry's door did that...I used it quite a bit, but don't have a DS> rig or cable for it now...never mind an antenna and a connector. But, DS> there may not even be a packet BBS in the central Arkansas area DS> anymore. "If you build it, they will come... to destroy it" That's the deFacingBook way of living life - hate and be hated. DS> I also note that unless a local host is there, they never give the DS> time, either. Now-a-day even live hosts don't give the time. Years ago we would give the time a specific way to help with our ratings - if you knew what you were doing. Now, the time is irrelivant as the diaries are electronic so the tricks you learned back then no longer apply. Takes away a bit of the spirit of competition. DS> Been there, done that. Although before my wife died over 14 years DS> ago, I was being a smartass, and I should've known better (she had both DS> a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Psychology). I said to her "My head DS> is so far up my butt, that I can see my throat". Without missing a DS> beat, grinning wrly, she said "that's why your eyes are brown". I DS> was asking for it, but wasn't expecting her to come back with such a DS> zinger. She told you DS> Affordable Dentures...got the pair for around $450 (upper and lower). DS> They didn't have to be fancy...I just wanted to be able to eat...and, DS> they look surprisingly real. I still have most of my teeth - fortunately. DS> They ought to be ashamed that she ever was one. I can't further comment without being overly cruel. Might be justified but cruel. DS> Thankfully, epilepsy is one thing I've never had to worry about. Me either. I've had friends that have had it and had seizures right in front of me! Talk about scary!! One trick I found helps... yell things to make them think! It gets the noggin in gear and helps get things back in order. When I have diabetic seizures that's what I do. A couple have turned into mild stroke and each time it's occured I've managed to shrug it off by thinking of mathematical equasions, or program code. DS> Actually, the hugs by the women can last more than 64 beats of music. I'm sure that music wasn't the only thing beating BR> Actually that's a horrible thing to say. It showed bias. DS> I heard that when it became apparent that she lost, she went into a DS> wild, practically demonic rage, throwing items everywhere. They had to DS> get several folks to forcibly restrain here. Yet, you never heard a DS> peep about that. There's a LOT of truths you never hear a peep about. They really need to be exposed, such as the first group of people to storm INSIDE the capital on January 6 were Antifa members, NOT MAGA folk. Babbitt was killed by the same capital cop who allowed Scalise to be shot during that warm-up ball game. Note: that black cop is also a high ranking BLM member. I'll stop. DS> I don't have a bald head, but with the hot weather coming, I like to DS> keep my hair short. And, I'm building up insulation for the upcoming DS> winter. I shave mine, then drive down the freeway and open the sunroof... to enjoy the sensation of the air blowing through my scalp :P~ DS> I never was a fan of soap operas. The only drama I liked was when I DS> was in theatre arts. If I want drama I'll date again. DS> Thankfully, I never had respiratory issues. It's not at all fun, trust me. DS> Never mind the Charmin commercial "singing" about "going to the DS> bathroom" (a subtle way of saying "taking a dump"). My neighbor had some bear in his yard, they left the rear evidence there. I told him next time leave the roll of Charmin out for it .... When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye. --- MultiMail/Linux v0.52 þ Synchronet þ SBBS - Carnage! *73 de N1URO* bbs.n1uro.com:2300 .
