Ham

I just hope we aren't too late here.. I mean.. we've waited for the dissolution of City States.. Now it looks like wating for the dissolutions of country sovereignty..

Before I even read what you posted here.. that was my answer.."I do"..

This character.. I picked up a now old computer.. it was a primitive one which ran DOS 2 from ram. Maybe it was Dos 2.11 or something.. but it would run a stinking terminal text program, and I was the first mobile packet station in Midland county, to make a digital exchange with W8QOI. This guy was (is) cool.. There are a handful of folks who still use Morse Code as a form of communication.. I hope you can meet me, somewhere..

actually, I think they would just be glad or satisfied that you are gone.. the noble Commodore 64. I had someone ask once how to rescue text files and such from old commodore 64 floppy disks. There are few options. Get a new computer, relatively new. One that will still run some kind of packet radio program.. the older ones will save an exchange as a text file.. newer ones too.. very time consuming. Did you know the Commodore 64 had a hard drive offering at one point? we all found wonderful truths about god.. or we wouldn't be here, would we? I never owned a Commodore 64. One of my ham friends, I gave him a Dos computer.. see, you don't have to tell it it has to load some executable file. just type in the name of the executable file and hit <enter>. Its the same thing.. Yeah.. I keep thinking of my friend W8QOI. he is now buried some place on the other side of Mt. Pleasant.. I hope somebody in this existence holds me in the same regard..

but the zombies have evolved. If they come of of the fabled sofa and consume your brains, well,they will have brains to eat one day. Teach them the *keys* and with a little self-restraint, they will have your brains and a friends brain, tomorrow.. just wait patiently.. ah yes, the refreshments. Please help yourself. We are serving the finest of Brains, slightly chilled, served with merlot, or cabernet.. without your brains, you might not even notice the lipstick stains and teeth marks on the Styrofoam coffee cups.. I noticed the marks on the styrofoam cups.. Fish Eye Cabernet is on sale at Krogers for 4.99. makes brains go down quite well..

that would help..

and somewhere along the line I would not fail to mention (factually or not) that I have five *major* pets, a mortgage, and $50,000.00 in outstanding student loans.

I dunno. Should I go to fellowship.. The first meeting they will absolutely ADORE you. Mwwwah. Afterwards, you may have an urge to shower to wash the thick syrupy coating off.. but before I'd leave the meeting, I'd tell somebody that I believe in a trinity, and that jesus told me that it was ok to talk with my dead grandmother..

Hands, across the water, hands, across the sky.. smile away quietly now.. smile away horribly now.. living in the heart of the country.. don't ask me the lyrics unless you dare..

damned butter.. well.. thanks for singing the song with me..

who is this drivel meant for.. sowy. Sowy, I can smell your breath from a mile away.. '' Smile away, quietly now..

Too many people.. :) Too little, too many.. dear boy.. we're so sorry.. gawd.. mccartney got this.. who broke it in two, or was that in three, or four.. I can't say that I haven't done a bloody thing all day..

How does one do this.. it all has to burn, in one's own mind.. then what is left..

I think some of the other groups had a legitimate argument. "you worship the bible, don't you.." the way is such an immature religion.. rosie still wears training pants.. one and a half seconds look into the light and a person loses the inerrancy *problem*. another half a second, and one would be dead, or dissolved.. well, that's what it seemed like. Maybe it is just postponed for a moment..

Or perhaps there were two (or more) schools of thought in the first century. Something along the lines of how we ended up with a two party political system here..

Just a question, who are "those people"? As far as reason and religion are involved here.. there are times when my logical side saw me through, while the intuitive side went on some trip off somewhere.. and then there have been times.. my intuitive side waited for something good to happen (should I say believe?) when my logical side went nuts, counting up the facts.. then there is a part of me which tries (generally successfully) to mediate between the two. I have theories about this.. but I don't know how much you want here.. maybe faith and reason are two sides of the same coin..

Congratulations again.. A hippie friend.. lol then a friend who loved dogs.. then an honourable Christian dude.. what other choices do we have here? I haven't even made it past first base here.. to find a hippy friend. You must be blessed..

That was the decency in "dress code" in middle school here. The coke can rule. it only involved one. I dunno.. another two glasses of cabernet, and maybe I can figure all of this out.. cmon. There has to be at least one or two Eunuchs there that can throw the "administratrix" over the wall..

I dunno. What I'm trying to figure out is why the blue dresses go three coke cans in measure down below the knee..

I made one exchange of basic information with OZ8SW. He is in Denmark. I used only about ten watts, and a cheap, no good antenna.. Morse code, of course. other station heard.. JO3JIS (Japan) ES5QA (Estonia) PY something. Several of them.. somewhere in Brazil.

I dunno.. I wish the young had better choices to begin with.. well, maybe they do.. why do we absolutely have to have answers.. da cults haven't even defined the questions.. adequately. "why can't I just be filthy rich.." sometimes I re-ask that question.. I mean.. sheesh.. how many more hoops do I need to jump through..

yep. If I ever end up with decent employment, the local soup kitchen will get to serve a few better meals.. I'll cook them myself if I have to..

whadda you need all that when one can sell pfal..

If you don't mind me adding a comment: even if the life, the love, the way is SECULAR. TWI. in its spiritual immaturity, has often time chosen to disdain the secular. You know, academic pursuits.. math, chemistry, physics, psychology..
