Thanks for the welcome.

I've been here in this echo before, but it was many years ago. I *think* I popped in here with a post a few times around 2000 to 2003, but I can't confirm. But I did spend most of the time lurking.

I do believe my mom contributed a few posts every now and then, but I can't find evidence of that now. For a period of years, I set her up to use Apoint:

* Origin: Vija's Virtual VVorld (1:229/1000.390)

(I just found the above from year 2003 with a quick google search)

She also followed COFFEE_KLATSCH and a few others.

I think I tried to email or netmail you about something (many years ago), but then I learned you were in the hospital.

Reminds me of a comic I saw a while back. Showed a rooster sitting at a
table at a restaurant and a hen is taking his order. The hen asks the
rooster, "May I take your order?" The rooster replied "Give me a minute. Trying to find something that doesn't taste like me." :D

Was she also an Abolins...? Not sure if I remember the name...

Yes. Full name would have shown up in the echos as "Vija Abolins".

She also followed COFFEE_KLATSCH and a few others.

I never got into that echo... I was very active (until it all moved to
the web) in the Genealogy echoes... :)

I didn't realize that it "moved to the web". It still seems to be a fairly active fidonet echo from what I can tell.

I think I tried to email or netmail you about something (many years
ago), but then I learned you were in the hospital.

I probably responded once I got home... ;) Perhaps that was in 2005 when I broke my ankle....?

Yes.. 2005 sounds about right. My fidonet journey ended in 2006, after my main pc crashed. All the echomail history is probably unrecoverable. I still have the original harddrive (but it is OS/2 format) Before the pc crashed, the harddrive was already making a lot of clicking noises.

Yes, I imagine a lot of bland-ish things would indeed benefit from a bit
of spicing up... :) The point I'd make though, is that just because it
is somewhat bland and might somewhat resemble the taste of chicken, it
might actually have a nice taste of its own... such as rabbit does, or
frog legs... ;)

hehehehe, well there is that but you can add flavor to enhance the taste of the meal without overpowering it too. Even when we barbeque that old stapel... hamburgers we tend to add a few flavorings. Just makes it taste better IMHO but like anything else I guess... don't want to overdo it. :)

Nancy,

And have you gone yet... and did you get your peach milkshake...?

Yes on both counts. My Mom had to be ambulatoried on Monday to a North
Little Rock hospital from the nursing home in Lonoke, due to a rapid
decline in her condition, due to an infection. I was in the E.R. with
her for a short time...but had to leave when the new patient in the next
area started vomiting, I didn't want my sympathy sickness/squeamishness
kicking in. There was a Chick-Fil-A just down the street.

Jeff's last name is Dunham, but Peanut argued it's "Done
Ham"...adding "You're The Other White Meat". <G>

But ham is usually pink, not white.... <G>
