Our news: Back from vacay we aren't ready to go back to work, even tho we arrived "home" a night before said scheduled work. We'll open tonight's service with the announcement that Greg and Susan couldn't get back in time for the Sat nite service, but us two stunt doubles were glad to come in when they recruited us to do our best. And this is NOT a house we're sleeping in-- it's just a double-decker camper with a few of the amenities we might have longed for in our pop-up, as if we got a free, big ole motor home.

What else, oh yeah, we have fleas but not crabs.

It's such a lovely day, it seems a shame to be sitting in the kitchen, so I thought that I'd come out here on the front porch for awhile. The kitchen table thread has migrated up into the music section for awhile to try to fool the Spammers. But, it's always great to have an alternative place to gather.

Only 94 more posts to 100, Elmer.

Hi Jerry and everybody else,

I thought this might be a thread about the old record label Front Porch Records. They had some good stuff.   I've really got to try harder to set up the gadget to transfer records to CD's.

As a technophobe in good standing, it's easy to put off grappling with that sort of issue.

But it sure was good to see the old Monty Python Spam sketch. I'd forgotten there were Vikings involved. Then I started falling into the black hole of You-Tube----you sure can have a lot of fun perusing their offerings--and use a lot of time. (I watched the Dirty Hungarian Monty Python.)

Also just read an article on the blurring of boundaries between on-line lives (role-playing) and real lives. And there's at least one song--by a "country" singer, Brad Paisley, which speaks to this:   sample lyric: "I gain another foot and I lose a bunch of weight every time I log on".

Just got back, Lead, and stopped in for a minute. I was having a problem with my computer and it took two times to start this thread. The second time, I forgot the BS connotation. Maybe Joe or someone else can move it below the line.

Back again, soon..

Jerry

In all our wonderful conversations around the kitchen table, we've served coffee, tea, brew of various flavors, iced tea, ginless gin and tonic and a variety of pastries. Recently, the main menu has switched to Spam, which is not only boring and frustrating, but high in salt and cholesterol. Joe is trying to handle the flood, and I've seen it appear on other threads, too. Threads with a high number of posts are the most likely target because they are read more regularly. So, until a cure can be found for Spam cancer, I thought I'd start this thread. Who wants to spam up a thread with only a few posts? Hopefully, we'll be able to get the kirchen table thread back. We were nearing another hundred posts, and I was looking forward to seeing Elmer Fudd.

We're heading out for our morning walk, but we'll be sitting on the front porch when we get back.

Jerry
