DS> If I have to be away from the BBS for a time, my QWK packet gets DS> rather obese. :P Fortunately I've been able to download a message packet every night, even if I haven't been able to deal with it... so I have a lovely pile of packets to work thru... ;) About a week behind, still.... ;) NB>> Looks like that's beginning to be working everywhere, now... :) DS> A few are still in limbo. One of my hubs gets the info, and I may DS> switch from FTN to QWK Networking, with him. Those must be networks that I'm not following, then... :) NB>> I can well imagine.... :) BBSing IS an addiction, after all... ;) DS> Yes, I BBS -- but I can control it. Right.... Me, too..... NB>> Maybe you should invest in a couple of cats....? Or are you allergic NB>> to them....? DS> I can't afford it. $1150 a month on disability doesn't go very far. DS> I do have levelized billing on the electricity and gas (for the DS> furnace), but not on the water/garbage. I basically have cut myself DS> down to only one meal a day (lunch), then I don't eat again for 24 DS> hours. Cats can be fairly inexpensive and low-maintenance... We've not take ours to the vet since they moved in with us, and we only feed them dry food, generally Dad's Special Mix or the Gourmet Mix.... Maybe $10 or less a month... They get small treats from our meals... and they do earn their keep by keeping the house free of rodents... NB>>... Why don't lawyers lay on the beach? Cats would bury them. DS> Just like sharks won't eat them...they put them back on the ship as DS> a "professional courtesy". :P Yup... I have something similar.... :) ttyl neb .... Why don't sharks eat lawyers?...Professional courtesy. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
