Things will 'get in the way' of BM>> our plans. And LISB4, "running behind" on e-mail isn't a big deal. BM>> Well, for work and family might be a good idea to keep current! NB>> Yup... fortunately don't have much email for work or family... the NB>> occasional counseling email that needs attending to fairly quickly, NB>> but generally things can ride.... :) And, I still am running about NB>> a week behind on echo mail.... probably will be for a while, yet... NB>> Hoping not to slip too much from that, though.... ;) BM> Note to everyone: answer Nancy with short replies so she can get BM> caught up! You are generally the worst offender... Also I try not to do too many messages in one days packet anyway.... ;) BM> I generally do the BBS e-mail first thing in the morning as is the BM> most typing, plus the other (done via Thunderbird) generally is not of BM> urgency; if I am expecting something will check, reply, and then let BM> the rest wait until later in the day. And of course the whole thing BM> depends on one's schedule and preferences. And for me, it also can depend on how alert the brain is being at the moment... sometimes mornings are better, sometimes not.... ;) NB>>>> Quite probably... :) My sister has issues with phone signal in her NB>>>> house still... has to go outside to use the cell phone... :) BM>>> If she has a dog wonder if he gets confused? Your sister: "I'm going BM>>>> to go outside to make a call." Dog, perking up at 'outside': BM>>> wag-wag-wag-wag!! NB>>> No dog... just as well... ;) BM>> When the weather outside is nasty especially so! NB>> Indeed....!! BM> Years ago when I did did have a dog (adult, adopted from the humane BM> society) I did use some hyphenated commands like "outside-bathroom". BM> It had dawned on me relatively early after adoption she could get BM> confused from whomever had her previously and the way we talk. "I'm BM> going outside" doesn't mean I'm going to the bathroom. Fortunately most dogs and cats are intelligent enough to be able to learn how to deal with new situations like that.... :) ttyl neb .... I guess I have disposable income. I sure dispose of it fast. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
