I still have an old Commode Door 64 set up. Not the one you guys gave me on 
your way through to somewhere East - that one went to a kid that NFB said 
needed something that could run their reader/talker software. This is one that 
I acquired from someone who didn't want to toss it and knew I would fire it up 
from time to time ... which I do, if only to play a round of Temple of Apshai.

I think there are two Marc/k Lewises. Talk about getting confoozled .....

My olds seemed to think my bunch were too "laid back".

If you say so. Must be lemon yoghurt. All my regular yoghurt is mostly white.

They did a CAT scan non me first (no MRI because of the pacemaker) then did 
the ultrasound. Same thing, as full of rocks as a cement mixer. And tough, 
thick walls to boot. When they finally yanked it the bladder was so swollen it 
would come out laproscopically so I now have a nice 11 or so inch scar to tell 
stories about.

 DD> As well as .....

 RH> I'll share it--with 2 or 3 other people.

 DD> The bypass burger or the Horseshoe?

 RH> Both, and not at the same time. I don't eat as much as I used to so one

I don't eat as much as I used to, either. And it shows in the clothing bill as 
I replace my "fat" clothes with slimmer fit stuff. I'm still heavier that I 
probably ought to be. But, it's a work in progress.

I am entirely too predictable.
