Subj : moving or not was: CFBBS To : BARRY MARTIN From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon Oct 14 2019 08:10:00 BM>Hi Daryl! Hi, Barry... BM> DS> Mine are battling for the lead. :P You want to hear a good BM> DS> gag?? :P BM>Dibs on the green pieces!! We'll start with the boogers, then. :P Reminds me of a bumper sticker that noted "Don't tailgate me...or I'll flick a booger on your windshield". :P BM>Ouch! That should keep ypu busy, unfortunately. For whatever reason, the daily caller bulletin isn't resetting. I still have work to do, but am still exhausted from the weekend trip to Clinton, Arkansas...for the 70th Arkansas State Square Dance Federation (ASSDF) Fall Festival. I didn't do any dancing, due to having Low-T implants in the buttocks cheeks days earlier, and they didn't want perspiration to enter the incision, and cause infection. But, they gave me clearance to drive, and to "warm a chair". I will be doing 4 jobs with the ASSDF Now... 1) Editor for the monthly publication, The Modern Square. 2) Circulation Chairman, keeping track of the print and e-Edition subscribers 3) Webmaster, managing 2 websites. One is designed for slower internet connections. 4) Tweeter, for their Twitter feed. In the building on the Van Buren County Fairgrounds, where the dancing was, it was a Faraday Cage. You could NOT get cellphone or internet coverage inside there, but it was full scale outside. For a man, things like low-T (testosterone), E.D. (erectile dysfunction), impotence, incontinence, etc., are all just part of growing old. But, with low-T, it can cause or aggravate diabetes and cardiovascular issues, if left untreated. BM>You do have horrible luck with lightening! As for DSL vs. cable, cable BM>will win on speed -- two different modes. As for the DSL outages you BM>experienced, I'm surprised that bad, but then I've read some rather bad BM>reviews when I was looking up local occurrences. Just like Ernestine BM>the Telephone Operator said, "we're the telephone company and we don't BM>care" seemed to be their operational standard for DSL. That's what the Postal Service says about doing stuff now. This past weekend, and numerous times before, I had filled out several requests (with the proper form) to HOLD THE MAIL while I was away, and I'd pick it up when I returned. I'll bet it went into the trashcan each time. I was going to go down today to ream a new butt for the Postmaster, but forgot it was the Columbus Day Holiday. So, that has to wait a bit. I've had numerous other bad experiences with the Postal Service, such as: 1) An overnight package, meant to be delivered the next day, took a week to reach its destination. 2) A package sent priority from Little Rock to Atlanta SAT in Memphis for 4 days. 3) A card sent to someone in the same zip code as the originating address, mailed from the Postal Facility serving the area, took a month to arrive. 4) Numerous bill payments have gotten lost. In all cases, WEATHER WAS NOT AN ISSUE. And, these morons wonder WHY people are going to FedEx, UPS, DHL, and email for their correspondence. I tell medical billing agencies that "if you won't take an over the phone payment, you won't get paid". I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $20 or more to track a piece of mail. First Class Postage is 55 cents right now, but it likely will be above 60 cents in 2020. BM>Don't blame you. Similar to my attitude towards cable. At the time we BM>had Basic Cable (local channels + Discovery, History, a couple of BM>shopping channels, etc.). They slowly pulled the cable-only channels BM>and increased the price. After a while was pretty much just local BM>channels: why are we paying them to get the local stuff? Snip! I've rarely had a problem with Xfinity (Comcast). AT&T is another story...and I don't want to rehash that.
