I was going to have open heart surgery but due to other factors it was decided to do the stents. It's been very nice to breathe again without effort though spending over a month in two different hospitals to get the doctors to figure out what to do with me was not fun at all. During this, I had my last remainig teeth pulled out of my mouth so now I am toothless and cannot get dentures due to a lack of income. This is not ideal and I will be working with what I have to eat. I have a blender and a slow cooker and will be making use of those to prepare food. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes during this rather trying time for me. I fully intend on sticking around and am working on making myself healthier. I lost 20 pounds (9.1 kg) while in the hospital and if I can lose 20 more pounds, I will be at a healthy weight for my height. I haven't been able to do much for quite some time and now I can. I hope to stick around for a lot longer. Sorry that there's not more content in this issue...I can always use content from you though! ----------------------------------------------------------------- A Call For Content Once again, I am putting out a call for content for the FidoGazette. It doesn't have to be fancy; just something that either pertains to Fidonet or something that Fidonet sysops would like to read about. I am always happy to help with editing, proofreading, or what-have-you. If you want to contribute an article, the FG Submission Guidelines are published weekly on Wednesdays and are available via WWW[1], FTP[2], and FREQ[3]. I am always available via netmail or email (sysop@outpostbbs.net) if you have any questions about an article. While I enjoy publishing the FidoGazette, it is here for you, the sysop, and not just for my pleasure. I look forward to seeing your article soon! 1 = http(s)://outpostbbs.net/files/fgazette/fgazsub.zip 2 = anonymous FTP to bbs.outpostbbs.net: /pub/network/fidonet/fgazette/fgazsub.zip FGAZ 18-11 Page 2 30 May 2022 3 = FREQ FGAZSUB.ZIP from 1:18/200 ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-11 Page 3 30 May 2022 ================================================================= NET HUMOR ================================================================= Thought Of The Week By Sean Dennis, 1:18/200 "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." -- Dolly Parton ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-11 Page 4 30 May 2022 ================================================================= GOOD NEWS ================================================================= Stray Dogs Wait For Free Meals Sean Dennis (1:18/200) From: https://tinyurl.com/2p9yfvmj (theepochtimes.com) Stray Dogs Know This Shop Prepares Free Meals, So They Wait Patiently For Their Turn BY Anna Mason April 10, 2022 Gerardo Ortiz's mother taught him to always help those most in need. So when a hungry, stray dog appeared at his restaurant, Ajilalo, one night hoping for a scrap of food, Ortiz did what many other people would not do. Instead of chasing her away, the young Peruvian gave the overjoyed dog a meal. Unsurprisingly, the unloved animal appeared the following evening, and many more afterward. Word must have gone round about the tasty, free meals. Since that first night six years ago, other dogs have shown up at that place of kindness in the city of Lima, and Ortiz never fails to feed them and provide them with water. "I love to help animals and people-it fills my soul," he said. "We won't take anything with us when we leave this world, so let's share what little or however much we have-and let's respect the animals, end animal abuse." "My inspiration was always my mother and still is," he said. "She does the same with people and dogs. We also bring homeless people to our place and provide them with food." The small restaurant does a good trade in typically Peruvian meat-based dishes, including anticucho, rachi, and mollejitas, plus sweetbread. "We share with them the food we sell, and sometimes there are people who donate croquettes and we also share them," Ortiz said. For this passionate chef and small business owner, sharing what he has with others is the best feeling. With increasing numbers of strays on Peru's streets, one of the patrons of Restaurant Ajilalo has adopted six dogs herself. When Ortiz and his team have enough, they donate food to her, too. Ortiz, who aspired to run his own business since he was young, says his mother encouraged him to help due to her own concern for abandoned dogs in the country's capital. "Ever since I was a child I loved animals-my mother instilled that in me. As a child, I fed the dogs that passed by our home," he said. FGAZ 18-11 Page 5 30 May 2022 Princesa, the very first dog with the hungry look who showed up six years ago, sadly died of cancer. But not before she was adopted by an animal lover in the neighborhood, and given a comfortable home. "She always arrived at the same time", said Ortiz, remembering her. "She was practically the one who took care of us, and all our clients knew her." Ortiz and his staff's acts of kindness have attracted followers on social networks keen to reach out and commend their good deeds. Even his customers are full of praise seeing how the restaurant staff feeds the hungry canine visitors. "Thank God we have always had the full support of our customers," he said. At the moment, Restaurant Ajilalo is running out of rented premises, but Ortiz is gradually working toward purchasing his own building. "With effort and dedication, I know I will achieve it," Ortiz said determinedly. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-11 Page 6 30 May 2022 ================================================================= FIDOGAZETTE BBS LIST ================================================================= The FidoGazette BBS List Maintained by Sean Dennis (1:18/200) Updated 29 May 2022 Total systems listed: 12 BBSes are listed in alphabetical order. ----------------------------------------------------------------- BBS Name: Central Ontario Remote Sysop name: Mick Manning Fidonet AKA: 1:229/307 BBS Software: Mystic Telnet address/Phone #: centralontarioremote.com:2323 Website: http://centralontarioremote.com:8080 Desc: Home of the musician's network, BluesNET.
