Alpha, you're a good bloke. Felicitations.

As it happens, I have gleaned some instructions from other boards on this here website and have recently begun in earnest to try to make my own. I was tragically born without green thumbs, and all I know is what I read in the papers. But, I have taken some seeds combed from the seemingly distant past (which are probably of rather dubious quality) and a warm moist paper towel. So far, nothing, but I am the most optimistic cynic you ever did see. ;-)

But yeah, I have been seeing and will continue to see if I can cook my own burgers, because I know that's the ultimately ideal solution. I'm just at the very very beginning of an indeterminate learning curve with an uncertain initial outcome.

I don't wish to appear to be the whining wussy wanker that I truly am, but there are only so many false hopes a feller can take, even keel or no. But c'est la vie americaine.

I had a nice steady stable fun good useful neat nifty connection in Sterling until a while back. When that suddenly went, as they are wont to do from time to time, I have been riddled with inconsistency at best and -- sin of sins -- liars. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and I'm somebody's b!tch. (Can I say that on here?)

Congrats on your newfound stability, AD. May it and you have many joyful occasions. :-)

The alcohol is forgotten. It was never really remembered. Not my bag. But there sure is plenty of it about.

My Yahoo offlines? Yessir. At this moment I'm on another box, but when I'm back in the comfort of my own laptop...

Peace love and cannabis....
