Barry,

 DS>   All computers wait at the same speed. And, if there were no
 DS> messages, your whimpering would likely be louder. <G>

 BM> Until the neighbours wonder what's going on?!

  That has been the case with you around the clock. <g,d,r>

 DS>   Crusoe, the celebrity dachshund, wanted payment in dog treats. <G>

 BM> That works just as well!

  Well, dachshunds are stubborn, and want to do it that way.

 BM> ... Bachelor:  One who's footloose and fiance free...
 DS>   I used to think fiance was pronounced "financee". <G>

 BM> In some relationships it's closer to 'finance'.

  Tell me about it.

 DS> Basically, I was to do all the giving, and she was to do all the
 DS> taking. That kind of relationship does NOT work.

 BM> As the tagline says, beware of monologs masquerading as dialogs.
 BM> Should always be a two way communication and understanding.

  Otherwise, it's like one having power over the other one.

 BM> There are times when an inexpensive meal is just as satisfying if not
 BM> more so than an expensive one.  As Janice said, food is food.  Sure,
 BM> want it cooked properly and presentation and atmosphere add to the
 BM> experience, but sometimes a hamburger is more mentally satisfying than
 BM> a steak.

  Plus, you can get full quicker.

 BM> The problem is ego: being able to throw down a hundred dollar bill and
 BM> pay for all the others is to some a symbol of power.  Personally I also
 BM> like a free meal, though prefer to take turns.  (Bartering allowed:
 BM> repairing a computer is worth at least a McDonalds.)

  I've done that for folks locally.

Daryl
