The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

[Professional Engineer]

Didn't just give up didja?

[Wneighbor]

Huh?

[Ramius]

Of course that s/b: "So what's the scandal du jour?"

Not only do I fumblefinger the contraction, but I mess up the french as well. Swell.

[Wneighbor]

Oh. Didn't get what you were sayin' at first! Sorry.

No, I didn't give up.

[Professional Engineer]

ROFL. I coulda posted the pictures!

[Wneighbor]

Baby the alcohol is poolin' in your fingers! They're too drunk to type. Gotta move 'em around and spread the likker out!

[Ramius]

Huh? paralyzed in both arms? What's this about?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

No scandals...I won't allow 'em while I'm there. Makes too much dern work.

I jus hate it when hat thappens. :-)

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Had a lot of fun. City's all under control and if it doesn't stay that way I'm gonna do somethin' nasty.

[Rose in RoseBear]

Oh, my ... I had to pull that one down and blow the dust off it!

Da Bear looks at it and goes, "Eh ... I liked DOS 5 better."

I replied, "Well, yah! Who didn't?" And we started going on and on about how perfect DOS 5 was.

Old folks, sittin' around reminiscing ...

[Wneighbor]

Ohhhh.... pain.....

There has just been ONE student left in that class for the last 45 minutes! Only ONE person!!! If that guy hasn't figured out whatever it is they're doin' in there by now, he's just NOT going to get it!!! He needs to GO!

[g'nad]

Think it's still too green.

try 5 gallons of gasoline...

if yer too chicken fer that, a couple gallons of diesel and an old tire will do the trick...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I'm trying to find the place where this was discussed before... one of the previous threads!

[300winmag]

FLASH!

A&E has on a one-hour show about making ROTK!!!!

It will probably be on the extended edition, maybe.

[RosieCotton]

Time to go read and then sleep...see y'all tomorrow...

Good night!

<bowing to the champion!>

Okay, you win! But what's the oldest computer you ever actaully used as a computer?

System 360 for me! In college.

[Wneighbor]

Um... guess you didn't know either. I broke my neck in 1990. I am dangerous only when I walk. Never broke any bones any other way.

Anyway, it messed up my arms... specially the left one. Couldn't feel anything at all in it for over a year. Lotsa doctors, lotsa crap, I've shared my view of the medical community with you.

Long story short.... neurosurgeon says I should have surgery on the neck. I had only a 5% chance of improvement, but there was a 50% chance that there would be no change. Okay.... do the math. And figure out the 3rd option! I didn't do it. Anyway, concensus was I would be without the use of both arms within 5 years of the accident.

I prayed about it. Decided they were wrong. I was still using both arms I just couldn't feel a lot. Figured if I kept using them and didn't just give up I wouldn't lose 'em. Lotsa pain back then. Had morphine for that.

Okay, you've seen me. Now, would you have ever guessed?

Oh, and only very rarely do I get numbness in my hands or fingers now. Uhhhh... had some after the back of my head got conked Saturday before last - for about 3 days... but that was totally explainable.

[Wneighbor]

I jus hate it when hat thappens. :-)

Hope you moved them around. Need any help?

[Wneighbor]

City's all under control and if it doesn't stay that way I'm gonna do somethin' nasty.

Good job security! But, why do somethin' nasty yourself? Just invite Ramius back over. He'll take care of it for ya! :-)
