I'm sure that I posted the story about how all of my siblings were complaining that I wasn't answering their FakeBook communications. Apparently, there is someone with my name on there, and all of my family was sending crap to a total stranger thinking that it was me!

A few years ago, I couldn't make it to the family holiday gathering. I suggested that they invite the stranger from FakeBook in my place, and hope that he/she/it isn't a serial killer.....

I was going to wash the middle door mats. The middle hose doesn't have a sprayer attached. I walked to the back of the house. I stood there. I sat on the bumper. I looked at the sky. I ... AH, yeah, I need the sprayer!!!

The mats are clean now.

Or you end up washing something totally different and then go, " oh ya I was going to do that to do the mats".
Or worse yet, you don't even do the mats.

I have a FB account. A lot of family members from all over the country post there and it's a great way for me to keep in touch with them. More recently the outfit that's rebuilding the 996 motor (into a 4.0 L beast!) uses FB for a lot of communications. But, since Facebook itself is nearly 20 years old, I think I still qualify for the old people thread...

...plus I know what electronic bulletin boards are, and I know what usenet is, and so on.

Au counterair, that was the sound of a brave new world.


How little did I understand the risk to society in general that I was helping to usher into reality.


Did you know I invented Internet in a Box that was sold for $99 at Price Club?


OK, it was a knock-off 3.5" floppy disk, my expertise to install it, and the balance of 2 hours to show you how to embark on this brave new path that would join the world in a community of shared ideas, expand communication, and end all suffering.


Might be the tequila calling me to come home.

Did not like that sound, because sometimes the connection failed, and I might be waiting a while before I knew. Not a happy time for the internet, as far as I’m concerned.

When you have to loosen up when standing up after sitting for 15 minutes or so. My back and hips seem to always miss the memo that we're standing up and we plan on walking. Please join us.

The connection sound also meant you might not have to make the trek to work and could fix the issue while at home.

For me it's my back. I have to stretch it out every morning for 10 min or so before doing anything else or I will pay for it the rest of the day.

Welcome to the senior center.

Oh well, c'est la vie.
