Duke Bushido Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Bad news for those of,you who like to read absurdly long posts; great news for those of you who do not! Phone is going into the shop tomorrow; don't know how long,it will be there. Last,time,was about three weeks, and I have no reason to assume that this time won't be the same. I have not fallen out of love with you people; I am just offline. Enjoy it fully! Rich McGee and Old Man 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Noted, Duke. I'm sure we'll all miss the good sense you occasionally slip into your long, wandering anecdotes! (Actually, I do find them interesting.) Dean Shomshak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that smile ? Isn't a funny one or just the proper style ? I would like to have one just the same as that Wherever I'd go they'd shout 'Ello STOP THIEF ! He stole that watch ! Get Him !' Ockham's Spoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I cannot imagine writing these posts on a phone, let alone something as long as you often will share. Rich McGee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich McGee Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 That's marginally more compact than Banacek's phone - counting the limousine (or sometimes Packard) it was attached to - but of course you couldn't type posts on a radio phone.

That's more of a phablet, I think. oh, and in the words of the world's greatest robot: "I'm back, Baby!" Record time, too! At any rate, my phone should have excellent vision now. I took it to the i-doctor for i-surgery, so it should have 20/20 vision now. Weird, since I took it in for a charging issue.

Duke Bushido Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 And hello again, folks, and greetings from the ER. Short version: Been a really bad year for us, and for the first time ever, Christmas was imperiled. Because of the wave of increased prices in prescription meds (wierd we only heard about select ones), I had to choose between the heart and BP meds or getting the kids something for Christmas (you know: like _food_). I took a gamble, and I almost made it. Middle of my last post I wasn't feeling right- head swimming a bit; trouble focusing. So I cut it short, popped an aspirin and a nitro, and went to get looked at. Still alive, and now I have another years-to-pay medical bill. Yay, corporate medicine! Going to bed as aoon as I get out of here, I think. Old Man, Cancer, Rich McGee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Gah, don't do that, Duke. We had our own medical emergency in the days leading up to Christmas, but (1) you halfway expect those when the victim is a cancer patient, and (2) we hit the year's catastrophic out-of-pocket limit on my wife's insurance early in 2023 so we weren't put any deeper in debt by it. We're all getting older, an we have to take care of ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Thanks, but exercise is supposed to good for me, right? It was only seven miles (this town is laid out wierd) home. Wife was so mad ahe wouldnt give me a ride back to the bike, so I grabbed the spare key and walked back. Just dont trust leaving a bike unsupervised over night. Anyway, I am going to bed.
