Subj : Re: Computer Failure Haik To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Feb 05 2021 15:56:00 George, GP> How many Daryls ran a Thunderbolt BBS & had a love for meteorology, do GP> you figure? Offhand, I don't know. The thing is, I wasn't running a BBS until 1990... and didn't even know what one was until 1985. GP> I wasn't paying attent8ion to news in those days, & even less to that GP> from so far away. . . The oranges and grapefruits I don't worry about, as I don't eat them. In winter weather, around here, they run out of bread, milk, beer, and toilet paper faster than you can get to the store!! I rarely drink milk anymore, never have cared for beer...but if I'm doing lunch meat sandwiches, I need bread...and of course, everyone needs toilet paper. However, I've wondered if toilet paper was reading material in the bathroom. GP> Here they dump it onto the curb cuts (every corner has a ramp built in GP> for wheelchairs & others) Sounds about right. GP> I don't see the problem; if you're driving & conditions are anything GP> other than ideal, SLOW THE FLEEP DOWN! They drive around here like there are no speed limits, no matter what the weather. GP> My fave cake-y bread is one my wifew makes in the breadmaker: African GP> Samosa Bread (contains cooked hamburger & onions, with spices) OK, we need 3 minutes to pause for drooling. GP> I had my wisdoms out in '91 &, yup, I'm a bleeder, too -- gross as GP> anything, as it keeps gushing coppery mouthfuls GP> I need to drink lots of water daily, as I get 5-30 kidney stones a year GP> even doing so; If I don't, I get even more & bigger ones! (biggest to GP> date is 25mm) A kidney stone is the closest thing a man can get pain wise to childbirth. I knew a woman who said she'd rather have quintuplets in hard labor, with no epidural, than one kidney stone. That pretty much sums it up. Another woman said "If us women can pass a kid, you men can pass a stone"... to which I replied "Unlike the female cervix, the male penis can not dialate". GP> One summer I was passing 10+ pea-sized stones every week! Ouch!! GP> I love puns! I'm trying to collect & save them all! (& making up new GP> ones here & there) Several years ago in Austin, Texas, around early May, they had "The World Championship Pun Off". I went to a few of them many years ago, and the humor is drier than the Sahara. But, all the proceeds benefited the O. Henry Museum down there. Daryl ....
