Subj : Re: Other Ham Radio News To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Nov 10 2021 14:30:00 Barry, BM> True, and I'll admit to having been and sometimes still are in that BM> category. We all have to learn sometime. And, everyone was a beginner at one time. BM> The good news is he obtained that rating. :) As for the tachycardia BM> (increased pulse rate), I think you're just scared to eat chocolate, BM> drink tea, etc. and so it's the Fight or Flight Reaction that's making BM> your blood mover go pidder-patter-pidder-patter! Seriously, BM> people do have 'odd' reactions to stuff. They say everything in moderation, but the term moderation is relative. BM> That would be a nasty surpise! :( Sort of like the opening sequence in one of the James Bond movies. They're moving slow with a funeral dirge through the French Quarter in New Orleans, and this guy asks "Whose funeral is it??". A thug whips out a weapon, and says "Yours"...and promptly murders the guy. BM> Dye from you new jeans coming off?! I haven't worn jeans in ages. BM> That might be partially a regional thing: I tend to drink (hot) coffee I never acquired a taste for coffee or other hot drinks. BM> If you meal is fighting back you haven't cooked it enough! I use the Biblical approach to cooking: "Well Done, Thou Good And Faithful Servant". DS> There is an area in North Little Rock where near the junction DS> of I-40 and I-430, where the deer are real bad. BM> They hold up tourists, rob convenience stores, etc.??!!!!! Talk about bucking the trend of civility. :P BM> But now we'll have to go from butts to breasts as Turkey Season is BM> coming up! Two memes come to mind on that: 1) A turkey asks "Do you love me just for my breasts??". 2) A turkey with a peg-leg, is munching on a turkey drumstick that he just took out of the oven, and he says "OMG!! I *AM* Delicious!!" BM> Unfortunately I doubt there's much money in it. OTOH you could move to BM> Massachusetts and be a snow plow driver: on the local news this morning BM> they had a segment where one town is offering $200 an hour! I think of the joke where the blonde is following this truck that is "constantly losing his load". It's the guy driving the salt and sand truck!! BM> Hmmm: don't recall anything like that -- you'd think with the traffic BM> up and down the Mississippi.... This was the Arkansas River...which runs from the mountains in eastern Colorado down to the Mississippi River. BM> We know where their minds were!! It would seem so. Daryl .... On the other hand, you have different fingers. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (454:1/33) .
