Posse, Search & Rescue or Lynch Mob?

A concerned citizen sent me an email to inform me several folks here have been asking about my well-being.

In the words of a writer with much loftier credentials than mine who once wrote in a letter: "The report of my death was an exaggeration." --Mark Twain

Needless to say, I appreciate the concern.

I've been quite busy ever since Cox Cable raised my monthly rate by $9 per month. When I called to complain because I had a set price deal for a year that still had two months left, the nice lady's solution was to add the $15.99 per month Playboy Channel at no charge for a couple months. There are actually two channels -- one in Spanish. Doesn't matter, though, since I turn off the sound any way. Otherwise all the moaning would drive me nutso.

I never realized how many good looking ladies earn a living making porn videos. Many of them actually have normal size, REAL boobs, too.

So now for the actual reason...

I simply decided to take a complete break from everything internet-related except my email to catch up on lots of stuff I needed to get done, like my taxes. And it took a lot of will power to stay away from it all. The only thing I've done is update my Facebook 'Happy New Year' cover image after my wife informed me it was getting 'stale.'

Anyway, I'm about done with everything so I'm back in the saddle & will be easing my way back into the flow. But I ain't about to wade through that other monster thread. And yes, I saved up a bunch of meals that are ready for posting.

Oh, if I die I'll be sure to let someone know. ;)

That is the same method of getting more cash from customers as Direct TV sneak in rate increases then when you call them in it they give you free channels for 90 days that you have to cancel on time or really get hit $$$. I told my wife I named them Defect TV. They made lies and promises until I canceled and went to internet. I do miss the DVR but that is all.

Hey, do you still have the number of the free porn person handy?
I think I've mentioned it here in the past that I sleep on a faux hospital-type bed in the family room. It's plopped right down in front of my stereo TV set-up.

So I fell asleep last night with the Playboy Channel on. When I woke at 6 a.m., I was treated to a naked, comely blond lady sitting in front of the camera with an extreme close-up of a grassless landing strip. I had the sound off, but the closed caption read: "I love to pleasure myself before I get up every morning. Do you like this close-up?"

I mean what could I say? My first thought was, "I'm not a gynecologist but I'll take a look."

Hey, my days of being in charge of anything are long gone. I like it better that way and so does everyone else.

I am getting to the point that pitchers of dead chit don’t do anything for me though. I expect to start voting democrat any day now.
I can relate to that but I hope someone shoots me if I do.

I here ya.?

I‘m scanning a bunch of stuff. I found a pic of a deer I don’t remember shooting.:confused:

I wish I had taken more pictures of the folks I sat around the fire with.

It's been a long time since I did any sort of accounting, but I estimate my three 4-drawer legal-size file cabinets hold somewhere between 30 & 50K Kodachome slides -- more than 50 years worth. Plus, I have a few hundred of the yellow boxes from the latter years that contain slides that I haven't sorted & labeled.

If I had a decent scanner and the energy, it would take years before I'd run out of images for the One Photo Per Day thread.

Yep and the landscape pictures are becoming way more stimulating, now days.

For about 25 years I took a brazillion (a new word I learned here) digital photos and countless hours of critters, grandkids, and family activities with the assumption someone would want to see them. Wrong! No one gives two sh!ts, and never have. Africa, Canada, Mexico, USA, some of the most amazing places, I thought. About the best I’ve ever got was, “ya, nice, let’s eat”. ? But it’s all good, they are my memories not someone else. I love my kids, and they take dang good care of me, I think it is just basic human nature.

Thankfully it’s all digital, so they’ll be easy to trash someday and I didn’t spend a bunch on development costs.

Then why the heck aren't you posting some of them in the Post One Photo Per Day here for us to enjoy? That way your efforts won't be fruitless.
 
Reasonable question.

Too lazy to dig them out of the basement........ when I believe they don’t mean much to anyone beyond the, “Ya, nice..... moment.” But....... I do enjoy others, but in truth, hearing the story associated with the picture is extra stimulating.

Don’t wish to discourage anyone else, it’s a worthwhile thread, for sure.

Take my word for it, they will be plenty valuable someday. You won't be there, but they will be priceless someday. That's the way it is with my parents' old photos.

Oh, I thought you said they were digital, i.e. already image files. ?

Glad you are doing well

You are a real man for taking off and getting back with the flow
 
They are, so rather than on slides or Kodak paper I have them on CD ROM disks, hard drives, Memory Sticks, DVD tapes, etc. So..... other than sorting through them for the odd gem it would be a lot easier for me to post them that having to digitize them like you are having to do, to your credit, but the fact remains I doubt anyone cares all that much and I’m just not that motivated. I’m a selfish SOB when it comes to my time, I guess.

Oh, I bet there's more than an "odd gem" in the bunch.

Can we eat now? Yawn. :)

I used to think that too but....... I’m not sure anymore. Regardless, I don’t intend on discarding them, I’ll leave it up to whoever has to back the Rent-A-Dumpster into my driveway someday.

On a congnitive conflicted project, I’m a somewhat limited in my typical lifestyle at the moment due to long over due surgeries that I’m working on this winter/spring so........ against my better judgement, I’m going to gather up a bunch of my picture from my kids hunting and fishing exploits over the last 40 years and have a book printed for them, through one of these online Internet companies that will print and bind them up nicely. That way they can each have a copy and won’t have to scavenge through my junk, or wish they had. Maybe someday..... their great grand kids will come across it and find it interesting or alarming, depending on how the world evolves in a hundred more years.

And yes, I do agree with you eel, some of my most prized possessions are old photos of my family back through the parents and grandparents, including uncles aunts and cousins. Don’t have too many of the great grandparents because they predate cameras. ??

Maybe someone should start a thread on pictures of their grandpas and grandmas....... but not me, I’m too lazy.

I think I'm in big trouble. It appears someone might have bugged my family room, complete with surveillance cameras. That's the only reason I can come up with to explain why I received a spam email a bit ago with the subject, "Last longer in bed without a prescription...!!" :unsure:
