oh... those 'nobler pursuits'... thanks, you too...

def one! you have "nobler pursuits"?

...her oldest daughter graduated high school at 25? definitely simonzeeloaded... she goes on the lift list... but at least she graduated, thank goodness for that... ...a mind is a terrible thing to waste... trust me on this one...

aflak! I thought we were meeting for our "evaluation pre-meeting"??? I have the beer iced down and you're late young man!

Refiner, what kind of reaction would I get on that board if I asked about the pedophilia in the JW community? are they mean?

Excathedra belongs to us all... she is "the reverend mother" and carries a chair with her wherever she goes...

I didn't catch Gettysburg when it was on TNT. I was one of the few who went to see 'Gods and Generals' in the theaters... I love Civil War movies when they're well made and this one was... even though G&G was made after Gettysburg, it is the prequel... it's a great movie that lays all the groundwork and ends right before the battle of Gettysburg... Think I'll tackle it this weekend...

happening day to you mrs pirateman!

ummm... because a long time ago a bunch of pigs ran off a cliff and jumped in it?

Thanks Zixar... maybe I'll check on the Heathkit site as well... I built a radio from them once... I don't even remember what my first computer was... we couldn't afford an expensive IBM... I do remember that I we loaded programs with cassette tapes... and then the first one I had at work had the two five and a quarter drives... had to keep on switching out disks... and everyone was always using it because it was the only one there...

...and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all!

Reverend2Ts... that was your wife! Holy Moly buddy! Way to go! ...on to other things... don't forget to finish up getting your aerobics points early... why do today what you can put off until tomorrow...

(Eyeing them both warily) What's a mobo?

you can still go there shipping man! only now it's called "Private Messaging"... it's just easier for me (I am Texan ya know) to click on their name... carry on with the plan of the day....

Yeah... if I ever get around to building one like HegotHope did I might try that... Hmmmm, I wonder if Heathkit have a website?

HegotHope... I think that happened our first year as well... anyone else remember? (I can't trust my memory)

yeah... and I use mine in the kitchen, bedroom, den, back porch... now that I got rid of the 2.4 phone!

yeah! what myseestorEx said! You guys are extremely enlightening! I used to only know enough to get into trouble... now I know enough to get into BIG trouble! And I owe it all to you guys! Many thanks!

yeah! "they" told me my 1.6 Centrino was comparable to a 2.4 or 2.6 P4... was that "salesmanship"? Although it is a lot faster and smoother than the desktop P4... but I don't know what speed that is...

yeah myseestorEx! our mom took it as well... only "occasionally" came to tweeg...

but LOVABLE ....ers!

OH NO! MyseestorEx! THE EYE!!!

wow RasCathy! now all you need is a wireless router!

That reminds me MasterP "the long journey"... last week I got "Gods and Generals" and "Gettysburg"... guess I'll have to start that trek...

Zixar said: Thanks, I do keep the updates current on the AV program (McAfee), heck it even stops me if I'm emailing back and forth to someone hitting 'reply' because it sees the same thing in the subject line... but I might go ahead and get their extra firewall and anti-hacker stuff...WW: How could I possibly switch O/S? If I switch from MS don't storm troopers break down my door and deport the family?
