Brian,

DS> That's the DOFEN group. They trip over their tongues...and a few
DS> other things. Your dictionary definition of H.A.M. fits perfectly. :P

BR> ha!

I always told my XYL that "I'm a gentle pervert". <G> A fellow BBS
Sysop (he died of brain cancer over a year ago), said "I'm a postvert".
<G>. One night, I was chatting with him and his wife via Skype (I rarely
use that anymore), and we were talking about computer issues. I could
trust him to remotely access the system, and not muck it up. Anyway, I
said "If I run into a problem, I'll give him a ring" (meaning a phone
call). He jumped right in and said "Boy, you're a pervert and a cheap
date. You're not my type, and want to go right to the honeymoon, and
forget the wedding!!", then he and his wife busted out laughing. My
response was "I am so red!!" :P

BR> Just as I do as well... which is why I retired from coding. Guys want
BR> me to post some of the goodies I've recently done and ridicule me at
BR> the same time because I'm for staying within the confides of rules and
BR> regs... nope I'm done. Only way to remove the bad taste in my mouth.

If it's not enjoyable anymore, then it's time to take a break from it,
or quit it altogether.

BR> Spin your records backwards and listen to them - you'll get your dog
BR> back, you'll get your house back, you'll get your car back... <G> As a
BR> broadcaster for many years playing mainly the current (at the time)
BR> hits I actually find country to be more "noise" than Jimi Hendrix
BR> rendition of the star spangled banner, however I would put it on the
BR> same level as rap... both make my skin crawl like I bathed in mosquito
BR> bites!

YES!! Rascal Flatts did that song "Backwards" -- that is a scream!! The
first time I heard it, I was visiting my Mom in the hospital, when that
came over the radio...I came unglued in laughter!!

The video quality isn't that good in the deal, but of the videos that
I saw of that on YouTube, this was the best one. <G>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tgMhNTSHvQ

Talk about "Get Down And Boogie". <G>

BR> You know someone was being cruel to them by putting an "S" in liSp <G>

That reminds me of the joke where this young girl was having respiratory
problems...so she went to the doctor. He has her remove her blouse and
bra, and puts the stethoscope up to her breasts, to listen to her breathe,
to see if she has pneumonia, bronchitis, etc...which can be fatal in some
cases.

Anyway, he tells her "Big Breaths"...meaning he wants her to breathe
deeply.

She replies "Yeth, Thir!! And, I'm Only Thixteen!!" <BG>

BR> I've never had those - my dad did though... and my sister did at a very
BR> young age! Part of it is caused by a lack of pure water so we've been
BR> told. I tend to get the goodies from my mom's side. Some stuff like
BR> cancer and diabetes is strong on both sides.

Ever since I've quit drinking carbonated beverages, and gone just to
sweet tea (diet green tea citrus at home, and sweet tea when I have to
eat out), I haven't had a a single kidney stone...for which I'm thankful.
I'd rather be like I have a fire hose hooked up to my member, than to
have to deal with the excruciating pain of it.

One woman I knew said she'd rather have quintuplets in hard labor, with
no epidural, than one kidney stone. That pretty well sums it up.

BR> I have a volume of Samsung phones. My rep at Cricket told me their A
BR> series is their "junk" series when I asked about them (which explains
BR> why they have/had a major sale on the A21s which I got one ha!)

<snip!>

BR> I told him I have unlimited calling/data and they're going to cut it
BR> off in 6 months anyway so go for it. They told me they're blocking all
BR> devices that use 3G for dialing - the note 3s use 4G. I'm about ready
BR> to just get rid of all technologies and go back to the good ol' days.

I heard that they are phasing out 4G and going for 5G.

BR> I'm allergic to dairy - not intollerant. Much more violent symptoms.
BR> Not fun at all to deal with either.

I was wondering about that myself...but the ice cream helps soothe
the tickle in the throat.

I've chosen the latter. Just quit it all totally. I was somewhat forced to get
my license when I assisted someone who had an active SAREX app running before
Obummer quashed that. NASA told us we'd have a 5-7 minute window but with my
audio engineering tricks, I was able to pull 13 out of the air (literally!)
for us. The ham who had the app said after it was over and done with that
I *am* getting my license even if it was a no-code technician so I could
get on the local repeaters. The league did nothing for me whatsoever but
I was warned - if you're not part of the 'old boy network' forget them. Now
it seems to be a free-for-all with no regard for another's license... not
for me. I've thought several times on just mailing my license in. I could
easily just firewall fcc.gov's mail server <G> that works today too.

For data, not for dialing. I wasn't aware there was such a difference until
I changed the motherboard out on one of my Note 3's and popped a working SIM
into it to test. It was immediately banned! It took me 48 hours to get it
reinstated - which they did reluctantly. Made me wonder how repair shops can
properly test now!

It was tongue in cheek. While we had no kids (we had a son...a dachshund),
we did have an excellent romantic life. ;) Yet, if I was ahead of her in

a risk of being a "none". <G>

They still will charge the daylights out of you. Nowadays, it's like the
heyday of BBS's, when Sysops were looking to upgrade: "Be prepared to open
your wallet wide". For that matter, that applies to ham radio gear. A few
years ago, there was a DC to Daylight rig at Hamvention for $20,000!! Now,
I could outfit a nice shack for that...or buy a nice pre-owned car, or
take a nice train trip. But for one rig, that's overkill...pure and simple.

BR> Ice cold water does the trick for me. Also a LOT less sugar and fats in

BR> I knew a drummer who switched hands... he gained a beat :p

I think of southern cook Paula Deen, who was on Emeril Legasse Live on
The Food Network years ago. She was talking about a "Southern Breakfast";
with biscuits, gravy, eggs, hash browns, tomatoes, sausage, bacon, ham,
etc. (we will now pause 3 minutes for drooling <G>).

She was adding boneless pork chops <drool!><slobber!>, and had this
wooden implement to tenderize it, so the meat would "melt in your mouth".
She said "I use this to beat my meat with". <EG>

That's a euphemism for masturbation, and of course, that's where
everyone's mind went, and the studio audience erupted in laughter.
Emeril got this horrified look on his face, and said "Don't even go
there!!"...the black guy on the drums in the band was about to spit
his teeth out of his mouth!! <BG>

BR> The groan came from the doctor in this case <EG>

Shortly after I got married, I was having groin problems, and had my wife
with me when I went to see my PCP at the time. He's retired now, but he's a
ham radio operator, who loves CW...and would go down to Florida in the dead
of winter, and work CW to Canada on the HF bands. He'd tell them how
beautiful the weather was, and you could hear them wanting to say "STFU". <G>

But, he had a poster on the exam room door that said "Ask Me About Viagra"

"OK, Doc...I'll bite. What about Viagra??". Grinning like the cat who just

Exactly. I've had 3 T-Mobile phones in a row (Samsung A10, A11, and A12)
all fail on me. Then, Verizon seems to lose the connection (so much for "Can

Here they are "ok". My Note 8 is an unlocked T-Mobile device. Supposedly
they don't lock the bootloader and you can upgrade the version of Android
beyond what the carrier will do. It came with ver 8, and the network upgraded
it to 9. That's fine for now for me. Most apps are making 7 their minimum
now. I won't have to worry for a few more years.

One of "The Flintstones" cartoons had several scenes. Gildersleeve was
the proprietor of the music store...and of course, Fred wanted to make sure
the piano...a STONEWAY <G>...was working right (properly tuned). So, Barney
and the proprietor played a fancy arrangement of "While Strolling Through
The Park One Day". Barney apparently studied under Professor Pizzicato, as
the proprietor recognized his pianissimo. <G>

Anyway, Fred had won $50 at the Water Buffalo Lodge, and was going to
blow it on the piano for Fred and Wilma's anniversary. Fred got "sold" on
the piano, and asked when they could deliver it. The proprietor said "it's
your piano...when do you want it??". When Fred said "At midnight tonight,
after my wife's asleep"...and Gildersleeve replies "Oooo....Aren't We
Sneaky??" (my comment for your deal with BBS Crash <BG>).

However, the price was $1500, and so Fred found "a hot piano" (stolen)
from a shady character called "88 Fingers Louie". Well, in the numerous
ways he tried to get it in there, he ended up getting arrested. As he
stands before the sargeant, before he's led away to jail, the talk
goes like this:

Sarge: You got any last words??
Fred: All I wanted to do was surprise my wife for our wedding anniversary.
Sarge: A likely story.

Suddenly the Sargeant shakes his head, and a horrified look comes across
his face!!

Sarge: Wedding Anniversary??!! Jumpin' Dinosaurs!! Today's Me Own Wedding
Anniverary!!

The sargeant turns to the officer, and tells him "Show this criminal that
the department has a heart...and give him a hand with his anniversary...
while I run out and buy a present for my own little wife".

But, the kicker was "How could I forget??!! Especially when it comes on
Trash Day"!! <BG> (He and Fred had the same anniversary) <G>.

We pass NTS on a nightly basis even if they're net reports from NCs. My

The things we could all do with our natural gifts to earn a dollar.
I like with the purdy ladies come into the store and say to me "your the best!"
I will respond with "if I had a nickel everytime I heard that, I'd still be in
the 'hole'" <G> Some get it, most dont.

DS> My wife and I were roaring in laughter as well. Well, on some of
DS> those cooking shows, as they were making things, she'd let out this
DS> pathetic yell, as if she was in pain. I asked what was wrong, and she
DS> lamented "He just ruined it". <G>

Wow! She'd probably like watching Hell's Kitchen.

DS> I saw Tropical Storm Danny off of Charleston, South Carolina today,
DS> and Hurricane Enrique headed for Baja California. The peak of the

I know! Weather has been brutal! They blame it on Global Warming/Climate
Change - of course it's changing! The poles are in process of reversing

Not healthy! We're flirting with 100 today and tomorrow.

The bottom of the page will show you real-time weather stats off my Ambient
WS1205-ip from a CGI I wrote. It's also a node command and I push it in the

tribbs. Some guys count on it before work so they know how to dress.

When I completely ripped my right bicept ligament off my forearm the 80 yo
specialist said to me "just don't do a thing, it's not as if at your age
you'll be flexing at the beach." Man did I want to give him a nice "speak
for yourself FU OG".. but I bit my lip.

.... The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky
ground.
