Post Race!

As to the modem, it was at least a 9600 baud modem. Those 2400s were so 80's.

Actually, the modem came from the service provider. They're pretty crappy. I did finally have an issue that was resolved correctly the first time, so I thought perhaps they were turning over a new leaf. We'll see tomorrow. Their hardware is sub-standard, as this is the third or fourth modem I've had from them. Not the third or fourth I've bought from them, though. I'm not sure if I've ever bought one from them, as they have managed to screw up delivery several times. At least one time, they charged me for one, but sent me two. I sent back the extra...and they refunded me. Another one just kind of showed up. I still have it, too, cause it failed.

At one point, I went and bought a third-party modem, so that I'd have something reliable...and then the ISP changed their technology and stranded that modem.

Whew. I've never been a bluewater sailor but I seem to have navigated inward past the reefs. Even got a headshot that matches the description I had, so it seems legit. Now that the dog has caught the car I hope I know what to do from here.

On the Internet every woman assumes you're a dog.

Seem to be past a lot of her insecurities finally. Even past the odd All old men are looking for is a nurse with a purse that I'd never heard before.

I've never heard that one, either. What I have heard is that the odds improve as you get older, simply because men tend to die earlier.

Haven't heard the bluewater sailor reference, either. Hope you aren't just navigating your junk.

Good one!

People have an outer ring of "reefs" and it can take time to do more than make a little headway only to be washed back out or scrape and get hung up out there.

Seems legit. Can't find any factual or behavioral discrepancies.

It's funny to see people wishing for snow... and just weeks later get all in a panic because it may arrive in earnest.

Maybe suppressing memories helps escape the cyclic nature of life, preventing boredom?

I want snow that I can ski on, but not snow that I have to drive on. I don't have an issue driving on snow, per se, I have an issue being on roads while OTHER people are driving on snow.

It's surprising how quickly conversations have gotten deeply personal. And no, pervs, we're old so I'm mostly talking about family and medical issues and such. Sheesh!

What ELSE is there to talk about? Family and medical issues start becoming the bulk of anything, unless you are into travel.

Maybe so. Perhaps it just means the two people haven't gotten bored and moved on or something.

That' better than talking about your SSN, drivers license # and credit card #'s.:D

Egad. The whole Nigerian thing was dragged up just this evening. They never let you forget.

There once was a man named Michael Finnegan.

No Ashley Madison going on there.

Wasn't that the spouse cheating app?

Yeah, it was.

My boss' name was on the hacked list of users, but he had an out. He had told his wife about it when he signed up and stipulated that it was because he had a client approach him about building basically a copy-cat site.

Even if he was lying, it's a good out nonetheless.

A copy cat of a site that turned out to be something of a scam anyways?

Still, hiding in plain site is a pretty good way to hide.
