I’ll take a cold beer over flattery any day, but Thanks! lol
I ate some wild stuff when I was younger, not sure I ever ett possum tho.
I think I got a different one earlier. I’ll look for it...
Yes he is. His post proves that he's a gentleman of culture and breeding. A person with a great appreciation of the finer things of life.
LOL. Well, given the circumstances, flattery will have to suffice...lol...and I’m not hearing any complaints from the other guy...lol.
Hush now. Don’t tell him *that*.
Re-signed as a monthly donor. don’t know what I’d do without FR!
Woo-Hoo! LOL. I love it!
Oh, you’re just being modest. Gentlemen of culture such as you quite often display such a quality
ROFLOLOLOLOLOL.
You betcha! I’m sure you’re right. I think I recall NormsRevenge showing signs of modesty at times....lol
Please allow me to bow my head in a moment of silence to mourn the passing.
I hope others reading this will join me.
Actually, at one point some time ago we did have a dozen servers or close to it. But we lost a couple when they fried a few years ago. Then John installed a couple of new servers just before the last election that were each more than twice as powerful and twice the capacity of any of our older ones so he took a few more of the older ones offline. Then last quarter we lost our secure server when it crashed and burned. John moved it to one of the other boxes. So, minus one more. Then two weeks ago we lost one of our newest servers. John has not repaired or replaced it yet, but has crammed most of it’s functions onto its twin and where ever he could fit it in. My guess is we still have six or seven servers online at this time but I've lost track of the exact number and configuration. And who knows if we’ll have to add more before the next election or not.
BTW, John bounced the idea off me a couple months ago that he could replace the whole shooting match and be much more efficient and reliable with a completely new approach. He said he could do it for an investment of around $10,000. We didn't have that kind of money in our budget at that time and didn't want to borrow it, so I told him it would have to wait.
Also, by the way, it's more than just me and John. There's also Amy and Chris. John dropped his company a couple years ago and came back in with me and Amy as partners. We also added Chris as a partner after I lost my leg. Amy's been with me as a partner from the start. I'm hoping John and Chris can take over for me if I die or become incapacitated.
We also ended up borrowing about twenty grand a couple years ago when we did a lot of traveling (traveled to DC and elsewhere by air and by car several times) and also held our national convention. We've paid about half of that debt off so far. Hopefully the balance will be paid off within a year.
LOL. Perhaps the green Budda will join both of us? It was a very sad pssing. We had such fun with that menu. Enjoyment for a lot of folks. Even for those like me who never ordered from the menu. Maybe that’s why they went out of business? Either that, or better drivers on the road.
bump
Nice!
LOL
