Subj : Re: Various Things To : Brian Rogers From : Daryl Stout Date : Sat Jun 26 2021 11:38:00 Brian, DS> I always told my XYL that "I'm a gentle pervert". BR> Is there such a thing? I don't think any YL would buy that, not today BR> anyway lol It was tongue in cheek. While we had no kids (we had a son...a dachshund), we did have an excellent romantic life. ;) Yet, if I was ahead of her in the games on the BBS (she was a great winner, but a sore loser), there was a risk of being a "none". DS> If it's not enjoyable anymore, then it's time to take a break from DS> it, or quit it altogether. BR> I've chosen the latter. Just quit it all totally. I've taken a break from the hobby for extended periods, especially when that one ham (who's now a SK) did me dirty years ago. BR> thought several times on just mailing my license in. I thought about doing that after I got done dirty that time. BR> I do like that song "pound sign". First time I heard that one I BR> laughed. That's the GOOD deal of "playing a song backwards". The best part of that is the snare drum work after he tells about dealing with C R A P. DS> She replies "Yeth, Thir!! And, I'm Only Thixteen!!" BR> Ugh... yup I was right to the opening query... there isn't LOL The beauty of the pun is in the groan of the recipient. All you had to do is read "The Triple Play" in that ham radio humor file for proof. BR> I know folks who've had them, even teeny ones. Some things just don't BR> belong in some places. One woman said "If women can pass a baby, you men can pass a kidney stone". I told her "But, unlike the female cervix, the male penis can't dialate". BR> For data, not for dialing. I wasn't aware there was such a difference BR> until I changed the motherboard out on one of my Note 3's and popped a BR> working SIM into it to test. It was immediately banned! It took me 48 BR> hours to get it reinstated - which they did reluctantly. Made me wonder BR> how repair shops can properly test now! They still will charge the daylights out of you. Nowadays, it's like the heyday of BBS's, when Sysops were looking to upgrade: "Be prepared to open your wallet wide". For that matter, that applies to ham radio gear. A few years ago, there was a DC to Daylight rig at Hamvention for $20,000!! Now, I could outfit a nice shack for that...or buy a nice pre-owned car, or take a nice train trip. But for one rig, that's overkill...pure and simple. BR> Ice cold water does the trick for me. Also a LOT less sugar and fats in BR> plain cold water Diet water has half the calories. There was also a sign that noted "Smart Water - $3 a bottle". The meme noted "If you're paying THAT MUCH for bottled water...". :P Daryl ....
