Back to foodie confessions:
I like my local coffeehouse and roastery so much that I paid more than 4x what the coffee cost to have it sent to me in S. Fla. It is really excellent coffee.

Hey, I remembred one today, and its a bad one.......

Back in 2002, before me and the Mrs got married, I happened upon a young lady who represented a local non-profit, and they were painting houses for elderly people.

Long story short, I got my house painted for free ! Two colors and they did the garage too!! About 25 people showed up at 7AM, they were done by 2 PM and they even brought KFC!!

Told them my "Mom" was in the hospital........

What’s crazy is, I remember when the “internet” was nothing more than a bunch of text BBS sites that you had to telnet to via a COM program. When the first graphical browser (Mozilla that later became FireFox) came out, we were all floored. The first site my buddy hit……Playboy. And it had pictures!! :yum:

Yup! I joined a BBS in I think 1988 or 1989 and found people that sharred the love of Doctor Who. Was it really possible to do that then? :huh: It HAD to be because I remember I just started to drive. In fact it might have been in 1987! :shock:

Then the 8032s and 8051s came out (Intel)….which lead to the 808x family that “changed the world”. How do you know so much about HW anyway?
