Subj : Re: Various Things To : Daryl Stout From : Brian Rogers Date : Thu Jun 24 2021 11:40:00 Hello Daryl; -=> Daryl Stout wrote to Brian Rogers <=- DS> QST. This is DOFEN - the Decrepit Old Farts Echo Net. Seems like almost any echo is. I don't know how many Gen Zers are on here tbh. This requires a bit of setup "work"... and we all know what 4 letter word is worse than the F word to them is. DS> Jeff, VE6DV, who does the Multimode Digital Voice Net on the QuadNet DS> Array on Saturday afternoon, tells that his XYL, Lana (who I don't DS> think is licensed) that "she can make contacts that I can only dream DS> about". You want a pileup of old guys? I sure wouldn't DS> Absolute power corrupts absolutely. :P That, and a population who's majority isn't smart enough to catch onto the game being played :D DS> I never married until I was 43, but never thought I'd be a widower at DS> 47...and never remarried. I don't want or need the extra drama DS> nowadays. I can barely support myself, never mind someone DS> else...especially if they have the mindset "I want this!! I want that!! DS> Gimme!! Gimme!! Gimme!! Gimme!! Gimme!!". Sounds like you're describing most new hams... gimme gimme gimme I don't want to build this or that. Do it for me or else!! I'm just about done with the hobby as a whole... I have been for a few years now. On my support list reflector I announced my coding retirement. My BBS now only accepts type T mail only because I'm the ARRL section NTS BBS. If it wasn't for that, the plug would be pulled. DS> Never mind "Coming To America"...did Bruce Springsteen do that, or DS> was that someone else?? There was "Living in America" by James Brown - quite different than Bruce DS> Revenge is a dish best served cold. I heard this one little boy DS> boast that "I've got two tallywhackers". One old man quipped "He's DS> going to make some girl happy". Now a day it'd be because he can please 2 girls at once which fits into the schema of the LGBTQXYZ community with girls today being bi/pan... which is something TAUGHT in schools! DS> Well, since I started drinking diet green tea exclusively, and RARELY DS> drink soda anymore, I haven't had a problem with kidney stones. So... you're saying you don't have any stones? That'll definitely keep the drama away from you :P~ ....
