While we had no kids (we had a son...a DS> dachshund), we did have an excellent romantic life. ;) Yet, if I was DS> ahead of her in the games on the BBS (she was a great winner, but a DS> sore loser), there was a risk of being a "none". A smart sysop knows when no one is on the bbs, changes the date, plays as the person they want to win.... in your case that would have made you quite the happy (worn out) camper DS> I've taken a break from the hobby for extended periods, especially DS> when that one ham (who's now a SK) did me dirty years ago. I'm just going to focus on the NTS nets since I'm a net mangler. Since I've taken over participation has greatly increased. DS> I thought about doing that after I got done dirty that time. I have until March, 2025. That's when it all comes to a halt for me anyway. DS> That's the GOOD deal of "playing a song backwards". The best part DS> of that is the snare drum work after he tells about dealing with C R A DS> P. I was going to take drum lessons... but I got caught in a snare (free tagline for ya!) I knew a drummer who switched hands... he gained a beat :p DS> The beauty of the pun is in the groan of the recipient. All you had DS> to do is read "The Triple Play" in that ham radio humor file for proof. The groan came from the doctor in this case DS> One woman said "If women can pass a baby, you men can pass a kidney DS> stone".

There was a woman who did pass one so large it tore her badly - she was quite out of cervix for a while The hospital named it (sound it out) U-tear-us har har har :p DS> They still will charge the daylights out of you. Nowadays, it's like DS> the heyday of BBS's, when Sysops were looking to upgrade: "Be prepared DS> to open your wallet wide". For that matter, that applies to ham radio DS> gear. A few years ago, there was a DC to Daylight rig at Hamvention for DS> $20,000!! Now, I could outfit a nice shack for that...or buy a nice DS> pre-owned car, or take a nice train trip. But for one rig, that's DS> overkill...pure and simple. I do the 4 devices/$100-mo with Cricket. It's also the only company who would let me NOT have a voicemail box. Why do I need one when the incoming numbers are logged? Makes no sense to me. More bloatware to load. DS> Diet water has half the calories. There was also a sign that DS> noted "Smart Water - $3 a bottle". The meme noted "If you're paying DS> THAT MUCH for bottled water...". :P I drink dehydrated water... just add water and mix ....
