Kids.

In college, we packed piles of fucking punch cards around. I believe that the first computer I ever used was an IBM 1130.

I started work as an operator on a 360/30. Was a BIG deal with the programmers when we upgraded from 32K to 64K. :)

Oh, Boy! We're back in the days of Fortran. Cobol and Assembler... anyone got a spare vacuum tube? :eek:

Hey now! Some people still use COBOL. :D
 
We used to play a trig-driven Star Trek game using punch cards.

You'd wait by the teletype machine to find out the Klingons had better trig skills when they photon torpedo'd your ass.

The Snoopy and Pinup print outs were more my speed.
 
Larry and I are going to go shoot guns this afternoon. Then hunker down for the blizzard coming tonight.
 
Thank you!


I can restring pearls. I knot between each one. I got tired of paying for it so I learned how. Took me about 9 hrs the first time and 45 mins the second. I am much faster now. I only use silk and a tweezers.!

This made me go search for a tutorial, I think I might attempt this.

Thanks!
 
If I wasn't old and broken, I would swear I'm pregnant. A tummy bug doesn't last this long!


Oh yeah, and if I was having the sex.
 
This ice sucks. I am not sure how I am going to get up the driveway.

Is there snow next to the driveway that you can walk in?

Or, can you time your arrival so that the hub gets there first and sands the driveway?
 
Traction devices for shoes are a very good idea. Falls on icy surfaces can be quite dangerous if you go over backwards and hit your head.

Wear mittens too. Then you can have your hands out of your pockets. Much better to keep your balance or get hands out to take fall impact. Hard to do a proper judo fall when slipping unexpectedly on ice with hands in pockets.
 
Xxxxxx

I was napping, but something told me to check here. I have in my list to reply to you next week when I know more about stuff so I can reply more than 'er, um'

:heart::rose::heart: :)
I'm so excited! Can't wait til we get to hang out. :) :) :)

(I might have used a few too many emojis :eek:)
