Dave,


 DD> That sounds like a song lyric. I'm not sure if you're having the Ray
 DD> Charles bad luck or the Roy Clark and Buck Owens bad luck.

  Yeah, it's the one from Hee Haw. 

 DD> Can you still see well enough to shoot? That'll put a stop to that.

  I don't have a firearm...the last time I handled a gun was 45 years
ago, in taking a Hunters Safety Course.

  The phone was supposed to be here Saturday...it didn't arrive in
Little Rock until today. But, the way they do mail with the Post Office
Box, I can't pick it up until tomorrow...which is just as well...it's
raining outside now, and the streets are wet...never mind folks think
they can stop just as fast on a wet, snowy, or icy pavement, as they
can on dry.

 DD> Doncha have a phone line for the confuser? Or, if you're on cable (as I
 DD> am until I can shine $cumCa$t on by hooking into the fibre network)
 DD> most of them offer home phone service. Or, if youse have got Ma Bell -
 DD> dig out your old 9600 baud U.S. Robotics modem and your PC Board
 DD> software and soldier on.

  I've supposedly got a line with Xfinity, but I can't get a dial tone. I
don't have AT&T...they did my Mom dirty with DSL years ago...and apparently,
it's not the first time this has happened.

 DD> Not if you're on a "pee pill". (Voice of experience)

  Been there, done that. It's more like "mountain spring water clear" when
you're on a diuretic. I have the potential to become type 2 diabetic, but
my next blood work isn't set for July. When I was hospitalized 3 years ago
to remove some bladder stones, they gave me Lasix, and several pitchers
of ice water. I thought I was going to pee my pecker off every 5 minutes.
I told the nurses "better bring at least a half dozen portable urinals".
I was filling them up in 30 minutes time.

 DD> I don't have birthdays any more - Just anniversaries of my "Jack Benny"
 DD> The next one will be the 41st anniversary.  Bv)=  My work is planning
 DD> a surprise party - but, since I know about it I'm planning to call-off
 DD> that day.  Bv)=

  Jack Benny?? As much of a frugal cheapskate as he was?? <G> We use to have 
to worry about "birthday spankings"...now, if it was a good looking female,
the way I'm going, I might be amenable to that. Remember, dirty old Sysops
need love, too. <EG>

 DD> They said "Cheer up, things could be worse!" So, I cheered up and sure
 DD> as hell - things got worse!

  Exactly.

 DD> "A cheapskate won't tip a waitress. I'm just careful with my money." 

  Here are 3 tips to give when they ask for one:

1) Plant your corn early.
2) Keep your powder dry.
3) Always have clean underwear on. 

  The latter is the most important. <G>
