 NB>> Fortunately I've been able to download a message packet every night,
 NB>> even if I haven't been able to deal with it... so I have a lovely pile
 NB>> of packets to work thru...  ;)  About a week behind, still.... ;)

 DS> I just do messages on my BBS...too much else otherwise.

That's the difference... you've got your bbs to hold the messages until
you get to them... If I got them in one huge message packet, I wouldn't
be able to open the packet in my offline reader... So I keep the packet
size more reasonable by downloading nightly, even if I don't have time
to do any replies right away... :)

 NB>>> I can well imagine....  :)  BBSing IS an addiction, after all...  ;)
 DS>> Yes, I BBS -- but I can control it. <G>
 NB>> Right.... <G>   Me, too..... <G>

 DS> We are basket cases. <G>

But, under control... <G>
 
 NB>> Cats can be fairly inexpensive and low-maintenance... We've not take
 NB>> ours to the vet since they moved in with us, and we only feed them dry
 NB>> food, generally Dad's Special Mix or the Gourmet Mix.... Maybe $10 or
 NB>> less a month...  They get small treats from our meals... and they do
 NB>> earn their keep by keeping the house free of rodents...

 DS> I've heard cases where the cats just look at the rodents, and let
 DS> them go.

We had one of those once... but the rodents still decided leaving was
better for their health than sticking around... :)
 
 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
 NB>> Yup... I have something similar.... :)
 NB>>... Why don't sharks eat lawyers?...Professional courtesy.

 DS> Plus, it'd probably make them ill. :P

Oh I don't know... I heard that sharks have iron stomachs... ;)
