Ok, little freaked. I've got one of those remotes that you can talk into to change the channel. That was fun for a while, cause it could not understand me at times and gave me random things. Once told me I love you too, on the screen. I don't know what I was looking for, but my tv said it loved me.. So I amused myself by saying inappropriate things into it. They didn't like that. Big message. Sorry, we don't accept that sort of language. hee


Now, something else happened. I clicked something, voice thing guess. Now every time I change a channel (I gotta get back to work) this soothing woman's voice tells me what I'm watching - the time left, and what episode it is. So, of course, I am amusing myself by changing channels to see what she's gonna say.


Thank you soothing woman's voice. I click on weird things to see how she explains them.

Yea, I gotta get out more.

It's definitely an Olympic sport. About 7 years old, I decide that poking a red wasp nest with a curtain rod sounds like a good idea, yeah I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. The nest was down in a shrub behind my trailer. but I could see it pretty well. So I go find a curtain rod sitting in our shed, I'm poking the nest, just kind of curious what the wasps look like and all. I guess the wasps finally decided enough was enough. About 10 of the security team wasps or something hit me like a Mack truck, all over my neck and shoulders as I vainly tried to flee, tripped over my own feet and went down on the ground. Final count, Wasps 12, Ghost 0. I had twelve stings all over my shoulders, arms, and neck, none on my face. I go screaming into the back door of my trailer. My mom thinks I've been shot probably or something. I'm not allergic or anything, but the stings sure did hurt like hell. Mom starts putting the blue liquid stuff all over the stings, which did help, then my dad came home a few minutes later. He asked me how I'd gotten stung so many times. I told him the story of what I'd been doing, trying to put a better spin on it than I was just a complete idiot. "Well, now you know what happens when you poke a wasp nest with a curtain rod, right?" "Yes, sir."....He went out and took care of the nest but I could tell in his expression he was thinking "This boy just ain't right."...lol


Very nice Story Sir :laugh:

If you put spot remover on a leopard would it disappear?
Nope.... it becomes a book

Many moons ago I worked for a company that was contracted by a lot of the airlines, so I traveled often by air and have flown every major airline. But back then the food was great, there was little hassle, more legroom and the flight attendants were knock-outs. I always enjoyed flying Pan Am, TWA, and Northwest… Alas, they no longer exist. Corporate decisions change what people think of a airline almost yearly. At different times I liked different airlines. Currently… when I fly now it’s usually with Delta.
I want to fly the airline who has Golem flight attendants. What airline is that?

When I switched to Shaw and I ended up with one of those talking remotes. I spent the first month looking at it and now I use it once
in awhile. As long as it's free I will use it. It is good for looking for movies.

Don't know - our agent at the Bangor airport had what looked like severe conjunctivitis in both eyes - it was a bit disconcerting - I really think she shouldn't have been at work that day.

So I must ask - why Golem?

I just learned something new:

A golem (pronounced with a long 'o' sound) is a construct that can be animated through magic. Gollum (short 'o') is a hobbit who has been hopeless corrupted by Sauron's ring. He is so named because of the sound he makes at the back of his throat sounds like "gollum".

I did not know this
