The Neverending Story

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)

Have you ever heard of an artist named Paul Calle? He does a lot of western type images, the Tetons and such.

[OLD REGGIE]

Have you always lived in that area?

Yes. 1/2 my family lives in California. 1/2 lives in Massachusetts or New Hampshire.

[OLD REGGIE]

Good to see you. I see your Pats won last night. :)

Yes, but they played a lousy game. I'm afraid this is a down year for them.

BTW I answered your question to II just because I am semi-senile. :-)

1/2 my family lives in California. 1/2 lives in Massachusetts or New Hampshire.

Wow, that's really scattering the family.

We have some in the Chicago area. That's where they settled after they left Ellis Island. Grew up a 'bears' fan. :) Still have some family in Lithuania, but I'm not sure if anyone has gone to visit there in the past decade. One of my Aunt's used to go periodically.

Quite a few members live in Florida, which reminds me, one Aunt has a house on Marco Island. I wonder how that fared though Wilma.

Hey, not a problem! :)

What type of work did you do? I know you have mentioned if before but I have forgotten.

[Invincibly Ignorant]

never heard of him. I'm devoid of culture for the most part. :-)

[ET(end tyranny)]

ha! You're funny. Have you finished your classes?

[OLD REGGIE]

What type of work did you do? I know you have mentioned if before but I have forgotten.

Using today's language I was in the "Information Systems" business my entire working carreer. I began as an EAM "Electrical Accounting Machine" operator in 1951 and progressed through the field in various positions such as Programmer, Systems Analyst, Manager of Data Processing, Manager of Technical Support and the like.

I have continued in my growth and development during my retirement and am now a full fledged SOF*.

finished my 6 month "intro to Judaism" class. Now I'm about 6 months into a year-long program called "Bnai Mitzvah".........

[ET(end tyranny)]

Oh yeah. That was the field I was interested in.

You pretty well versed in computers then?

That's great. If I could reach through the screen and shake your hand, I would! :)

Ustawas. I've been retired for more than 13 years now and the field changes so rapidly I can't keep up.

I know more than the average old geezer but less than the average 13 year old. :-(

[ET(end tyranny)]

Ustawas. I've been retired for more than 13 years now and the field changes so rapidly I can't keep up.

I know what you mean. The languages I studied, they don't even use anymore. RPG, RPGII, COBOL! lol Shoot, just look at how fast computers get outdated!
