I hope I can keep going when I'm your age. Good for you for making it work.

66 is not that old, reyn. It's all in how you take care of yourself. Some people work past the age of 100. Of course, they have to live that long, the one drawback.

I knew there had to be a catch!

I only plan to work until that guy in the UK gets me my lottery winnings, like he promised me in my email.

That's it, Edgar: a realistic plan.

We're talking big bucks.

Sorry, Edgar, but I've already cashed in all $1.92 of those winnings. That amount was after the cost of my helping the guy out, which cost me $192,500.

Back to the drawing board.

I got an interesting letter from a Nigerian banker...

Was his name Barrister Oliver O. Brown? I believe I may know him.

I'm never gonna die
I'm too nasty and vile
I'm too cranky and tough
I'm too much is never enough


Chumly

chumly
it's uncomely
to move a bone
once the flesh is gone

The heat getting to you, too, over there, huh? :wink:

It's going to be vile in Abby over the next few days.


Edgar's a poet, and he don't know it!

I'm teaching full-time now, so I'm a fierce hard man altogether!

It's a blast furnace in Tomball.

Hey Edgar, I saved this one for you (rec'd this morning). Don't say I never did anything for ya!

The oddest thing about such communications as that, reyn, is, many people do fall for it. I know a man that only about three months ago, made a deal with someone to deposite their check in his bank and then to send them money to cover their share. He took his own money and sent it to them, while waiting for the check to clear and of course it bounced. He lost a real pile of cash.

Oh, that's pretty sad! Hopefully, he won't get caught like that again.

So, how you making out on this new version of A2K? I'm finding navigation a bit awkward. It will take quite some time for me to feel comfortable with it.

The first thing that hit me was that there were no formal forum departments. So, now I have to think of how I want to see all the new posts within a certain forum and not the whole board.

I think it takes just one time for most persons.
