Tim,

 TS@> Well, almost the same here.. but I started working in a resteraunt when
 TS@> I was 11 and learned to cook though, so if you ever saw any pictures of
 TS@> me, you would know why.. :-)

  I have RARELY used the stove since my wife died nearly 10 years ago. Blessings
on those who invented the microwave oven!!

  The arthritis is so bad throughout my body, that I can't stand for more
than a minute at the sink, in front of the toilet, or in the shower,
without my legs spasming on me. Whenever I've been in the hospital, I've
been designated as "a fall risk".

 TS@> because I don't like talking behind someones back. I wou'lnt say
 TS@> someting about someone that I would'nt say to their face.

  So many think that all there is to life is BBSing. Well, being a
fellow ham radio operator, you know there is more to life than ham
radio. I tell folks that whether it's for helping me conduct a license
exam session, checking into a net, etc. -- if you have previously made
plans (especially during the holidays), or if you have "honey-do's"
from the spouse, you better make d@mn sure you take care of those FIRST!!

  Otherwise, you'll be like the cartoon where the wife is glaring at
her husband out the window...and he's standing in the backyard in his
night clothes, with a pillow. He's in front of the doghouse, and there
is this dog, with a pair of spectacles on, sitting at a desk, with a
notepad on it, and the dog asks "Good evening, Mr. Smith. Will you be
staying with us for just one night?? Or, will this be your usual
weeklong extended stay??"!! LOL

 TS@> I try my best not to use fould language, but I times it comes out..

  There was one instance on the local ham radio repeater several years
ago, where this female ham, who was passing through, said an expletive
on the air. She exclaimed "Sorry about that!! I just got sideswiped,
and about run off the interstate by this 18 wheeler who can't stay in
his lane!!". They asked if she was otherwise OK, and she said "yes".
They then told her to follow him, and they called the Arkansas State
Police. When the ASP caught up with the trucker, he was in deep guano.
Outdated paper work, contraband cargo, and he had warrants on him, not
to mention his license was expired. 

 TS@> I love watching the classics, and it's the same with "Classic" music.
 TS@> these people had TALENT. they could get by on what they were, not some
 TS@> bullcrap autotune, or stupid catchphrases, or cheesy props.. "Gotta
 TS@> leave Jeff Dunham outta this" Jeff uses props, but has 7 different
 TS@> personalities shoved in that chest of his.

  I *LOVE* Jeff Dunham, and "Walter". He was in my area for a show in
early December, but the schedule and finances wouldn't permit it.

  Have you seen Todd Oliver?? He literally has live dogs in his act,
and with a device on them (which has been approved by the SPCA), it
looks like the dogs are actually talking!! And, it's a G-rated show.

  On the classical music, I love it with the piano...and I also like
bluegrass. I also enjoy 4 part a cappella (no accompaniment) barber
shop quartet stuff. I got the musical taste from my Mom.

 TS@> Nope, neither one REQUIRE a nodelist now, you "CAN" use one of you
 TS@> like, but all you really need configged is your uplink in scfg,
 TS@> echocfg, etc.. UNLESS ou want to send point to point netmail "unrouted
 TS@> I believe" been a while since I've done FTN, but even 10 years back a
 TS@> never used a nodelist.

  Interesting.

 TS@> 73, and Merry Christmas!

  You, too, Tim.

Daryl, WX1DER
