I'm glad you liked it, Mammy Suzy...
There's more where that came from.

Good one Inas.

Hoping for some "change" too.
Very windy here. Enough to strip a bull of his horns.

A Riddle.....

Why did the lady go outside with her purse open?
She was hoping for some change in the weather.

A neutron walks into a bar and asks:
How much for a drink?
The barman replied;
For you, NO CHARGE...

Hi all, this is one of my favorites. Enjoy!

SENIORS ARE A TREASURE

Remember, old folks are worth a fortune,
With silver in their hair, gold in their teeth,
Stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet,
And gas in their stomachs.

I have become older since I last saw you
And a few changes have come into my life.
Frankly, I have become quite a frivolous old gal...
I am seeing five gentlemen every day.

As soon as I wake up,
Will Power helps me out of bed,
After which I go to see John.
Later Charlie Horse comes along
And he takes a lot of my time and attention.
After that Arthur Ritis shows up
And stays the rest of the day.
He doesn't like to stay in one place very long,
So he takes me from joint to joint.
After such a busy day I'm really tired
And glad to go to bed with Ben Gay.
What a life!!!

P.S. The preacher called the other day
And said at my age I should be thinking
About the hereafter. I told him,
"Oh, I do that all the time.
No matter where I am--in the parlour,
Kitchen, upstairs, or down in the basement--
I ask myself, 'What am I here after?'"

Divert your course
------------------

This is the actual radio conversation of US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.

Radio conversation released by chief of naval operations. 10/10/95.

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a
collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to
avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the
United States Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three
Cruisers and enormous support vessels.
I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north.
I say again, that's one-five degrees north or counter-measures will be
undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call...

I have one for you;

This is the story of four people named:

Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.

Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody would'nt do it.

Ultimately, Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

You,ve got good ones guys. Very entertaining.

Walkerpbus. For example you are on a vacation and not able to check giveaway site for a day you cannot download and activate the software in that case you can look at the previous giveaway comments and look for a better software which is free and with more facilities.

@ walkerpbus

What's wrong with that? You can go back to former giveaways to read the comments.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure if I understand your question.

Though I'd bring this back to the front page. For those that are releatively new to the forums you may find some stuff of interest. :)

well, for one. my dad just got a new mac os x laptop. not a single paint typ program on it and i do not see much in the way of a word processor either (just a simple text editor that saves in rtf)

i i am thinking i might need a antivirus program too.

in the 1000's of cds i have most are pc and the few that are mac are classic and the new mac does not support nor install classic mac pre-osx.

Do not push the red button

Take my advice: don't push that da*n button...

:) Nice to see this back on the front page. I must resurrect the what is this thread again as well. Just been too busy (well, if you can call playing games to distract myself busy) recently to have the time.

Bob....I'm praying too....hope all goes well with your sister.

Inas....you could always go back to the beginning of this thread and try some of the "what is its"....and get some good laughs along the way. Just a suggestion.

Will keep your sister, you, and your family in my prayers, Bob.

Best,
Inas

Bob.. please keep us posted.. prayers ARE with your sister and all of you! And, safe traveling! {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} ~ Lauri

I'll be looking forward to the next challenge- I really felt a 'DUH' moment when the IR countermeasure flares were mentioned. I've come up with a few nice what is it's, but alas, left them home.

My sister should be in surgery for her biopsy in about 3 hours, but it could be as much as 5 hours after that that I find out anything. unless things go bad real fast. I'm hoping to have to wait.

My next expected login will be tomorrow evening sometime, as I'll be taking one leg of the bus up to my other stop in california before heading back to oregon the 13th- haven't been able to try any giveaways as I'm just borrowing time on the computers here.

good day to all- Bob

Hopefully have some more just as soon as I've posted the games I promised.

Well, that was very fun - these games stimulate the mind - thank you, WR. Can't wait for the next one - drumroll please........LOL!

Yes BentlyTCow, it's a flare for attracting heat seeking rockets. Yes, 3 is rubber. More importantly a mountain bike tyre.

1. Rocket Fuel
3. Rubber

yeah I knew they used shredded aluminum for radars but the defense stuff goes beyond my realm of knowledge.. I obviously need to play more war games ;) oh yeah, don't they release something out for 'heat-seeking' rockets? dunno what it's called...

The first one is wrong... remember I said it's some sort of protection....

but the second one is right. It's a mountain bike t

The radar flack is almost right, but not quite. they use metal chaff for radar scrambing.
