Sean,

He knows as much about severe weather as you do. Don't waste your time.

We've had nearly nonstop days of thunderstorms and severe weather here lately...although compared to Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, we've
only got "a glancing blow" as it were. But, with a constant threat of thunderstorms, it made no sense to do any BBS work. Florida may be the lightning capitol of the world, but Arkansas has to be a close second.

The other night, I was texting this woman and her boyfriend...they
both have an 11 year old dachshund (weiner dog), who considers me his uncle...but can't figure out why I won't sneak him extra treats. <G>
Yet, he has one of those "thunder shirts", which has "a calming effect"
for him. When he climbs up on the back of the couch, his owners know
stormy weather is coming. The dachshund Janice and I had would wrap
himself around her head, like a wig, when thunderstorms were in the
area.

I think my problem with Internet Rex is fixed (I got with my FIDONet
hub, Marc Lewis, last night), and since bringing the BBS up last night,
daemon mode hasn't crashed out. I suspect Microsoft Windows Update is to
blame. And, speaking of which, it's the "second Tuesday" as I type
this...but mail won't go out until Friday on the FTN side, so the
nodelists can be updated, with removing the CM flag for me. With all
this rain, we don't have to worry about water rationing or fire danger.

It's like March here: cold and rainy. It's cold enough to make my arthritis remind me it's there. What stinks is that since I am on Eliquis, I can't
take ibuprofen to help with the pain. Tylenol doesn't work as well with me
on joint pain as ibuprofen does.

My parents' younger dog, a Texas Heeler, does that with her fleece blanket.

That would not surprise me at all. You that last update bricked a lot of computers and just started deleting things at random with others? When I supported Windows professionally, Windows drove me nuts with breaking things after an update. I was in charge of 1800 computers by myself at one time.
It was insanity at its finest but the good thing was the company I was with
at the time had some sort of top-tier support with MS so I could call MS directly if something really started smoking--and occasionally a computer would!

Do me a favor and email me at sysop@outpostbbs.net when you get this. Want
to talk to you about an idea with your mail setup that might help in other places (ahem, coughcough). ;)

Later,
Sean
