Subj : Re: Computer Failure Haik To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Thu Feb 11 2021 11:54:00 George, GP> How many international dial-up callers have you HAD?! Do you mean from dial-up or telnet?? I've had some from outside the US, but they've been from Canada or the UK. However, I've got the Peerblock utility in place to block hacking attempts from certain areas. I also have a CAPTCHA sequence that changes around the clock...if folks don't enter the right code (they're told what to enter), they're stuck there until they disconnect. GP> We have the same issue -- porch pirates. My wife watches her statuses GP> like a hawk & is ware before delivery t hat it's due & the second they GP> claim delivery complete, & we grab it off the ramp. That's the only way to do it. GP> My pharemacy gives delivery no charge, but asks if I could pick up when GP> possible, as he pays the $10 delivery fee himself. That's awfully nice of them. GP> They're nearly next door, so I usually can & do grab it when out for GP> something else. Groceries are a $4 fee from the delivery provider. I was told to order 24 hours before pickup. To give it a break in the weather (it won't be warm by any means), I'll order stuff Friday, and have it delivered Saturday afternoon. > It looks like a pebble I've seen on the ground. GP> More like a rotary saw blade, but smaller, with bigger teeth. And one heck of a bite!! > As the tagline notes, "if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a > sacrament". GP> If men could get pregnant, that means they'd have a womb & they do: GP> womb-men. Touche'. > If you have several, you can name them "Sly And The Family Stone". GP> That's a concert I don't care to experience again! Nothing sly about GP> these little *******s! That's for sure. GP> When we were leaving the maternity ward the baby pooped himself and the GP> wife said to go in and change him. GP> So I went inside, put him down, took one of the clean babies, and left. ROFLMBO!! That's good!! That's along the line of the "Baby Changing Table" you see in the bathrooms. I guess that's where you change the baby for something else. GP> -=- GP> Due to the Coronavirus, there is a huge shortage of maternity ward GP> staff. It’s a midwife crisis. For sure. I saw a news story today that "vaccinations should be available to much of the population by April. Like the weather forecast, I'll believe it when I see it. GP> -=- GP> Nurses in the maternity ward don’t want babies to be in shock by the GP> temperature change when they’re born. GP> So they make sure it’s set at womb temperature. As the late Paul Lynde noted, the only time the unborn baby can see outside of the womb before birth is during ballet practice. GP> -=- GP> When an Amazon employee takes maternity leave, are they out for GP> delivery? (double relevance to the post! *LOL*) Never mind Special Delivery. GP> -=- GP> At the maternity hospital, a doctor handed the husband the baby and GP> said "I'm sorry, but your wife didn't make it." GP> The husband handed the baby back and said "well then, give me the one GP> my wife did make!" He's not the brightest light in the socket. Daryl ....
