Yup, just got back yesterday. No new pics, I'm lazy about bringing my
camera. I'm stuck using Google groups to do this darn usenet
posting, though I read on another server, that's the main reason why I
don't post much anymore. I wonder what Ratz is up to...

Hi Spanner. I'm lurking on this group mostly and am more active at tribalwar
forums.
My wife is 3 months (or so) pregnant we're expecting around the end of
August, first child.
Scary thing is i'll be pushing 50 while there's a teenager loose in the
house. eeek.
Quite the storm heading or way this afternoon, eh? calling for 25+ cm of the
white stuff. Hopefully it'll be winters last "Hurrah!" before spring.

I can dig 'lazy'!! I think it's been a week since I fired up
this skookum new toy. But I'm putting off the inevitable
laundry loads for a bit by claiming to be playing Spider solitaire.
Well, I *was* going to play, but I saw that the wee little
wireless network icon was glowing, so decided to pop in here
instead.
This is cool- No cords or wires, and here I am! Mind-blowing
to an old fart like myself. I can't wait for Good Neighbor Allen to
get our desktops connected to his DSL- $60 a month saved and
no big loss of speed, really.
Hmmmm, on and on I ramble............but, so anyway, I'm
*really* glad to hear from you! <big hugs here, if we weren't
just "virtually" chatting!>
So, tell us where you've been this winter, please. I haven't been
anywhere unless you count the grocery store & doctors' offices.

I know the feeling. I'll be turning 50 the summer my oldest daughter
hits her 16th year of life. 53 when the next in line becomes 16.

I've got one. Imagine how pissed I was that it didn't
come in purple. So I settled for "electric blue", a nice
metalflake. But it'll be purple before long.
I've already got a load of stories about using one of these-
seems to bring out the best *and* worst in folks when I
shop here.
I'm planning on going ahead with back surgery later this
year, so if all goes well, I'll just put up my scooter until I'm
*really* old & decrepit.
And at that time I'll be taking aim at the little brat urchins
running and screaming all over Wal Mart. Or their parents.
Because now, when I clip one, it's because they ran into me,
not the other way 'round.

This last paragraph ^ *perfectly* describes me these last two
years or so. I don't think I've mentioned it in here yet, but my long
reddish-brown hair has turned white. None of my online buddies
has seen me for at least a couple of years, so quite a few folks have
a shock coming next time we meet.
I've left it long, though, so I've got a full head of white hair down
past my waist. I suppose part of the reason I won't cut it is because
it's sort of a security blanket- just something from my youth I'm not
willing to give up.

Linda's got a "franken-chair" made from parts assembled from dead electric
chairs found at the local "Urban Ore", a place that recycles stuff from
remodeling. Her biggest complaint is the people who either back into her or
walk over her as if she's invisible. (Happens a lot if we go to a trade
show, esp. when it's crowded.) Worse is the kids who think she's a climbing
toy. (Like when we go to a theme park like Marine World.) Yet worse is the
parents who do nothing about it. I keep suggesting that we need an electric
cattle catcher or maybe some spikes.

Throw in some hellfire missiles, a 20mm foreward firing chaingun and
an oil slick sprayer, and you just might have a market!

I can *so* relate. Hispanic men are the worst here- they will
deliberately block the aisle with their shopping cart, turning it
sideways if necessary. WTF is up with that?!?!? Then I turn invisible,
and they turn deaf when I say, "Excuse me." I used to back up, and
go down another aisle. Nowadays I just plow into their cart, moving it.
About 4 weeks ago, I was in an aisle with three children, all of them
between about 5 and 10 years old. They began a pillow fight with the
store's new stock, bouncing pillows off of me and everything else. So
I spoke up- "Stop that! This isn't a playground- where's your mother?"
A voice behind me says, "I'm right here! They're not doing anything
wrong."
I couldn't believe my ears. I don't remember my exact words, but
you can be sure I did my best to educate the young woman on proper
shopping behavior. I was livid in a nanosecond- when I get mad, I do
so lightening fast.
I was right, you know. My generation raised a generation of complete
and utter idiots who are now raising a whole generation of little Charlie
Mansons.

I call it Dr. Spock's Fatal Error.
Corporeal punishment. There's a lot to be said for sane and reasonable
discipline.
I wouldn't have dared behave the way I see kids acting in public these
days. Partly because it wasn't acceptable, and I knew it, and partly
because I knew there was a physical consequence.

That's the way I was raised, and raised my kids. Kids need
limits, and they need consequences when they cross the limits.
Not oft-repeated idle threats.

My idea exactly. A good alternative would be some electric mesh around the
perimeter of the chair. Like the shell around the bottom of Davros of the
Daleks or Captain Pike, but at 80 skillion volts. Bump into it at your own
risk. Should be easy enough to adapt one of those electric animal fences
for dogs.

Tendrils of arching power snapping out and finding ground in obnoxious
children as you motor on grimly past their charred remains.
I like it!
