Or like Christian Comedian Mark Lowery noted when he had to be ambulatory to a hospital after a motorcycle wreck. "Ambulances have no shock absorbers. When they run over a coin, you can tell whether it's heads or tails". He also noted "Your Momma Was Right"...and the entire room roared in laughter..."Clean Underwear...Always!!" . GP> that same session found out that most of the included utilities weren't GP> compatible with Vista! There was a meme with various cottages and houses for operating systems with Windows, starting with 95 through 7 (I think). For Vista, the house was upside down. > Sounds like what they did with DoubleSpace and DriveSpace, which was > originally done by Stacker. GP> Exactly the incident I'm referring to, yup. . . It's like how animals feel about another animals food...it tastes better if it's stolen. > Really. He has his hands in more cookie jars than Microsoft. GP> He IS Microsoft! And soon to be divorced. :P > Sounds like the song Tom T. Hall did -- faster horses, younger women, > older whiskey, and more money". GP> I'll take all 4, but you can keep the horses, unless they're makingme GP> good money at the races & someone else handles the business sde of that GP> enterprise. . . Only if you want to be horsing around. GP> What if there's a storm wherever the cloud is hosted?

GP> (whole company had been moved there, since we're 100% virtual now) With what I'll pay, I'm sure they have plenty of protection, backups, etc. However, I've injured the cornea in my right eye (abrasion), and I had to greatly reduce my computer time, and the brightness on all of the monitors. > There was a 45 RPM record I had a long time ago, which was > a compilation of their most popular songs in a skit. GP> Hmm, can you recall the name of it or the producer? Offhand, no. I have no idea where the collection of 45's I had, are. I've got a large amount of books by the late Clive Cussler, and a large amount of vinyl LP's that I have no use for. But, I'm afraid to put out something on Facebook, for fear someone will show up, shoot me, then ransack the place. I'd give it all away for free...folks pick it up, and haul it off themselves...no charge. GP> Physicusts have PROVEN (with math) that a bumblebee cannot fly (hey, GP> nobody said they had to fly ELEGANTLY!) I love the Flight Of The Bumblee by Nicolai (sp?) Rimsky-Korsakov, and the "Bumble Boogie", where it was incorporated into a Boogie Woogie for piano. The late Liberace, and now Emily Bear, can really zoom through it. And, Emily was always smiling. GP> We avenged ourselves by hunting them into near extinction for their GP> oh-so- delicious wings. . . I've heard there's a shortage of chicken wings right now/ GP> It seems far fetched to me.

GP> A: I like them both i am bisnacksual Works for me...good tagline, too. :) GP> -=- GP> Scientifically a raven has 17 primary wing feathers. GP> The big ones at the end of the wing. These feathers are called pinion GP> feathers. A crow has sixteen. GP> So, the difference between a crow and a raven is only a matter of a GP> pinion. Touche'. GP> -=- GP> Brought my friend some chicken, told him I had 1 leg, 3 breasts and a GP> wing. He asked “So how do you find clothes that fit?”. Really. GP> -=- GP> Here's a fact for you: on average we all have 1 breast & 1 testicle! To be sure that the Tickle Me Elmo dolls will laugh, they give them two test tickles. Daryl ....
