Nice! I don't do Telnet -- not as simple as it was in DOS. . . or Win98. . .

I like making trivia questions/quizzes. . . Here's one I ask those who are into hockey: You can take a stab at it if you like: Q: How many New York NHL teams are there, & name them? > GP> I love trivia; I'm even pretty good at US History & Geography!

Two of my fave all time clean comics, who tell funny tales are: John Pinette(RIP), & Bob Newhart. . . they live on, on YouTube, of course. . . > I got the second Pfizer one over a week ago.

Not bad -- I got hot flashes for 24 hours after getting 1st Pfizer, but at least I have 85% or so protection. . > The worst part was that at the conference center (in a hospital complex) > where they were giving the shots, the workers were apparently taking all > the parking spaces, and there were ZERO spaces for disabled folks.

At least you're about 85% protected even wthout the 2nd(booster) shot. . . > > GP> Not sure; his family still has controlling stock & are filthy rich. > And, I've heard some say that "if they put all the other stores (including > the Mom and Pop places) out of business, you'll pay what they want, or do > without". That's how it's always been for monopolies & is why there are antitrust laws forbidding monopolies and cartels. Gates gt takern to task for bundling Office with Windows. The judge ordered he separate the two companies. He still had majority interest in each, leading to some wags suggesting he left the courtroom asking his lawyer, "So, what? Now I own TWO monopolies?" > Mice are curious and stupid, so they can get caught earlier. Rats are > cautious and smart, so they're harder to catch. That, too. We've had no trouble catching either.

Bettr off drinking the real thing. Sugar is not the big culprit the aspatame peole want you to think it is. 1tsp sugar is only 16kcal! If none of it was processed & urinated out, you might gain net 1g of fat. I eat what I want -- I'm just working on only eating moderate quantities now.
