    This one is from Bill McGarrity, 1:266/404 :)

    An Irishman is walking on the beach one Sunday afternoon after
    Mass. As he's walking he stumbles over this half buried bottle.
    So he digs it out and as he's cleaning it off, out pops a genie!
    The genie thank him and offers him one wish. The Irishman
    thinks and suddenly speaks... "I forever want to piss the best
    Irish whisky in the world! POOF!! The genieI says, go ahead,
    pee and take a taste. At first the Irishman is a little
    hesitant but he does what the genie says. "My God" he says...
    "That's the best Irish whisky I've ever tasted!!" He thanks the
    genie and runs off home. As he walks through the door, he
    screams out to his wife... "Hunny, grab two glasses and meet me
    in the parlor!". A few seconds later she appears. He says...
    "watch this..." and proceeds to pee into the two glasses. He
    says to his wife, "go ahead, drink it. It's the best Irish
    whisky you'll ever taste." Hesitant at first, she brings the
    glass to her lips and takes a small sip. "Jesus, Mary and
    Joseph.." she says... "You're right!! That's the best Irish
    whisky I've ever tasted!!".

    This goes on for the next four days. the wife meets her husband
    with two glasses in the parlor when he gets home from work.
    Friday comes along and the husband walks through the door and
    screams... "Hunny, grab one glass and meet me in the parlor!!".
    The wife confronts him and says... "Why only one glass?" He
    goes... "You'll be drinking from the bottle tonight!!"

    Janis,

    This one is from Bill McGarrity, 1:266/404 :)

    The wife confronts him and says... "Why only one glass?" He
    goes... "You'll be drinking from the bottle tonight!!"

    So, who's the one more into "heavy drinking"?? <G>

    Although with me drinking 2 liters of flavored water a day to keep
    hydrated, and flushed out (not to mention preventing kidney stones),
    I've got room to talk. LOL

    But, I knew a woman who said she would rather have quintuplets in hard
    labor, with no anesthesia, than one kidney stone. That pretty much
    sums it up.

    The damn catheter is the worst part, though...about as bad as the pain
    and bladder spasms. Last year, when I had to have kidney stone and
    prostate surgery within a month of each other, I had such pain and
    bladder spasms, that I had to be taken by ambulance to the Emergency
    Room. I was in tears and screaming from the pain. :'(

    Well, finally, these 2 very pretty young nurses walked in, and said
    "You're not going to like us". I said "I'll kiss you if you make the
    pain go away!!". She said, we have the pain medicine...but it's a
    suppository. They gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "shove
    it"...any further up, and I might have gagged on it. :P

    I expect you have a bulletin or some such on your bbs regarding that...

    Take care,

    Hi Daryl,

    Hi, Janis...

    I expect you have a bulletin or some such on your bbs regarding that...

    On the downtimes, yes. But, I had one user who couldn't connect via wx1der.dyndns.org -- so when he tried tbolt.synchro.net -- it worked. Go figure.

    Both domains resolve to the same ip address so I'm not surprised there <g>

    Janis,

    Both domains resolve to the same ip address so I'm not surprised there <g>

    ~$ host tbolt.synchro.net
    tbolt.synchro.net has address 71.238.225.56

    ~$ host wx1der.dyndns.org
    wx1der.dyndns.org has address 71.238.225.56

    What I can't figure out is why the user couldn't connect with wx1der.dyndns.org (I have an updater client for that one), but could
    connect with tbolt.synchro.net (I'm using a deal that Rob Swindell has
    with Synchronet). It connected fine with me using MTel, but I recently
    changed to SyncTerm. For whatever reason, with downloads (QWK packets
    and otherwise), MTel time stamps the file in UTC -- but SyncTerm posts
    the correct local time...go figure.

    Bill,

    Looks like Rob's DNS server works better... :)

    Both wx1der.dyndns.org and tbolt.synchro.net worked fine under MTel
    for me...but I recently switched to SyncTerm, as it time stamps the
    files correctly, instead of in UTC...not sure why MTel does that.

    But, it's nice to have a backup.

    However, I'll guarantee that neither one will work tonight or Sunday...thunderstorms are likely...but at least the severe weather
    threat for Arkansas is minimal, if at all. We need the rain...we don't
    need the fires like out in western Oklahoma, Texas, and into New Mexico.
