Subj : Re: Computer Failure Haik To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Feb 03 2021 18:45:00 George, GP> You sure seem like the guy, including your love of meteorology GP> (including knowing it has nothing to do with falling space rocks) ;) I'll have to remember that one. GP> I'm pretty sure Thunderbolt BBS (in your orgin line) had a Forida area GP> code when I called it. . . If there was one, it wasn't mine...I didn't even know BBS's existed until 7 years after family got transplanted to Arkansas from Florida. GP> You used to rag me about Canada being so cold, while seeing more snow GP> than I do/did! The whole weather picture is topsy turvy. I was in Miami when it snowed in 1977, and while it didn't "stick", it was observed. Much of the peninsula (except the extreme south) went below freezing overnight, and much of the state's citrus crop that year was wiped out. It ended up being "Florida oranges from California". GP> I'm kind of pissed off that the creeping Ice Age has killed the GP> grapefruit growing territory of Florida, & I can't get my jug of pure GP> unsweetened white grapefruit juice each week any more. . . :'( I never cared for grapefruit juice, and the orange juice gives me canker sores in my mouth. I've been wearing dentures for 21 years now. GP> I've h eard somethig similar. . . I don't have to have any love for GP> "Sky- Feces" (what I call it), though. . . especially being in a GP> wheelchair. . . I may eventually end up in one...I've been disabled since 2004, and they keep finding stuff wrong with me. As for the S.S., think of it as cosmic dandruff. GP> If it snows 2cm, I'm housebound for weeks until it's all gone, because GP> nobody shovels! (Or they shovel an 8" trail down the centre suitable GP> only for a supermodel or chihuahua, walking single file) Or the moment you clear the sidewalk, the snowplow comes by, the dumps it right back on your sidewalk. GP> Not a fan of this weither, because locals can't drive in this, & I got GP> to worry, even on the sidewalk, about getting hit full-on, at speed! It's so much worse the farther south you get, because this part of the country doesn't see winter storms that often. GP> This is the worst, yup. . . When north Arkansas had back to back ice storms in 2000, much of north Arkansas had no power for 2 months. GP> Lots of that here on the Wet Coast! And, it's really bad in the fire/burn areas, with all the mudslides. GP> *G* Yup, you're the guy I recall. . . from my dialling days. . .you GP> don't remember the guy who called kitty-corner across the continent GP> nearly daily to hang out on your BBS? I knew your name sounded familiar. GP> Yeah, that YouTube cinnamon challenge is dangerous! I saw a deal on Facebook the other day for cinammon toast cake... I started drooling. I used to make that years ago, with cinnamon sugar, butter, and bread...put it in the toaster oven, then graze. GP> Mine are still original & somewhat well-rooted in my mandible. I had my 4 wisdom teeth out in 1978, then the rest of the teeth in 2000. The worst part in both cases wasn't the pain...it was the bleeding. GP> Starkle, starkle, little twink Who the hell you are, I think GP> I'm not as drunk as some thinkle peep I am GP> Besides, I've only had tea martoonies There you go. When I go to a restaurant, I ask for a pitcher of sweet tea, because "I'm into heavy drinking". I've found myself drinking 2 to 3 liters of flavored water in a day...so, I'll give you 3 guesses what that ends up doing overnight, and the first 2 don't count. GP> But, the drunker I sit here, the longer I get" The drunkard's version of Viagra. GP> Cop sees a man carryinng a desk, computer, & lamp staggering up the GP> sidewalk, & asks him wha he thinks he's doing. GP> "Impersonating an office, sir!" Nice pun. Daryl ....
