englishman had his op today and all is going according to plan.
he's feeling woozy and sore tonight, but hopefully that will pass in a day or so.
chris says he will probably have to stay in for about a week, but no doubt he will be posting if he can get hold of a laptop.
*thwacks minimus* you aren't the boss of me !
Brummie- I understand that Gumby was caught in some compromising positions and that the cops were called in. That's all I know except that Pokey is still out there doing God knows what.
.
there is a member of our forum here who is really quite the charming gentleman, if you get to know him..............he's very shy, but, i thought it might be nice to say a few nice words about him anyways...........care to share and say something nice about jim?.
he'll probably be very upset with me for making such a fuss, but, he's worth it...........
now that i have your attention..... as you buy xmas gifts, you'll undoubtedly be asked by some retailers for your phone number and address.. if you're not having the item delivered, you don't have to give your personal info in order to make the purchase..
period!!!.
oh sure, they'll pressure you.
I don't mind giving them my zip code- they use that for their demographics info and can't do anything with it.
Mulan- do you have to "re-up" on the Do Not Call list in your state? Here it's only good for 2 years I think and then you have to redo it or you are off the list and they can start contacting you again. I wish they'd do a "forever" thing. And now they have the electronic -taped calls so that you can't tell a live person to take you off their list. GRRR

Good info Mike ! I'm amazed at the number of people who just automatically give them whatever info they are asking for, like its just part of the process and then complain that they are bothered by telemarketers or junk mail !
I bought some appliances the other night. I wrote a check and my driver's license number isn't on my checks so she had to write it on. Another clerk who was hovering around told her that she also had to write my date of birth on my check as well. I instructed the clerk who was working with me that she was not to put my birthdate on my check and the other nosey guy says that it's their policy. WTH?
It's getting nuts out there.
many of you migth know the archetypal jewish hero was joshua (the successor of moses) otherwise known as yeshua ben nun (?jesus of the fish?).
since the name jesus (yeshua or yeshu in hebrew, ....ioshu in greek,...( source of the english spelling) , originally was a title (meaning ?saviour?, derived from ?yahweh saves?
)......what was jesus's real name?
Actually, the purpose is to see how many compromising positions we can put Gumby into. Unfortunately, it got out of hand and the authorities were called.
Gumbail has been set at $450.00
This just in: Pokey is reportedly still on the lam.
