Good evening Ladies and Germs
Someone very famous said that. I can't remember who.
Not that I have any problems with my memory.

I was born confused and this ain't helping. And my point is?

Carlos;
Some forums of this general variety allow a person to change the subject line when responding to a post. If this forum has a way to do that, I don't know what it is. The only way I know of to start a new topic is to go to The Lounge and start a new topic, in which case many of us here would never see it, simply because this forum is so huge that many of us don't wander around much.
If it's any consolation, you have a good number of readers here on the Back Porch, as do we all, regardless of subject matter.

Now comes the 106868.
Good evening Ladies and Germs
Someone very famous said that. I can't remember who.
Not that I have any problems with my memory.
In fact, once, I earned two prizes: one for my good memory,
the other, i don't remember why.
Everybody with me so far?. Good.
1- I don't understand this part of the forum. It's just my old age. I'm not old.
2- How can I post and individual post here. Like "I like Tango" for instance.
3- How can I thank my "old" (as in long friendship) and my new friends here.
Let's take an example. I want to reply to Iffy some comment he made about me, for instance.
I'm not dumb (but close) enough to know I can PM him. What if I want to do it publicly in the forum.
4- Why do I spend so much time typing in ECF if I have so many things to do. Risking marriage BTW.
I have a good story about my visit to the eye doctor today. What to do???
I would like to name my post "Eye doctor Visit" by elby. How?.
Do I type like the madman I am? Just Cuz. Or there's some "how to" guide here.

Bells - thought of you straight away when I say this picture.

I'm glad to be home too, Deb. There's just nothing like being able to roll around home in some old sweat pants and battered t-shirt and no shoes and watching the cat and the dog tussle.
I really DO love my job. I have a strange love for those crazy helicopters. I've gotten to know what makes 'em tick and do what they do. They never cease to fascinate me, and I never get tired of watching them fly.

I've been having fun with house things - the previous owner's deferred maintenance has all been coming due. But right now I'm feeling guilty about the poor heating guy. My (very) elderly furnace has been requiring manual restarts. Not a big deal if getting down to the basement wasn't such a big deal for me.
This guy works alone, in addition to farming, and has been pretty busy. But he's also been trying to save me money by not just throwing parts at it, so he's been back a couple of times in addition to also replacing my water heater. He also has four kids playing in three separate (girls, young boys and high school boys) state hockey tournaments this week.
So, today he drove 70 miles to Fargo for hockey game one and picked up two parts for my furnace while he was there. He then came by about six this evening to replace said parts, but decided that he was really sure it was only the controller, not the relay. But told me to call him tonight if it tripped again, since he was going to be at hockey game two but had to leave at seven tomorrow morning for hockey game three.
Of course it tripped again, and the poor guy is going to stop by after the hockey game tonight to put the relay in. Actually, he gave me the choice of either eleven tonight, six tomorrow morning, or late tomorrow night. Now the only time I ever see six in the morning is when I stay up that late, so that was out, and I really am getting tired of going down and up the stairs, so tonight it is. But he was all worried that it would be too late for me.
Ya gotta figure that I am the original, all my life, night owl. Years ago my daughter got me a bumper sticker that read "Not a Morning Person Doesn't Begin to Describe It." But I'm sure he just saw this fat old broad in poor health, and figured that I go to bed at nine or so.![]()
Milton Berle...you didn't really have a point, mi hermano.
You just wanted to say "Hey"...or ¿Que bolá?
The folks here don't need much run around to be friendly
and ask ya to sit and take the load off.
Pull up a rocker and
Rock on,
