That's a blood curdling story too Zed. Bit on the long side, but speed slows down in the cold. At the same time I read with envious eyes about ice and snow up there in the North of the AmCan-continent. While we move from rain to rain via storm and storm. Maybe I should move quickly to the marge of Lake Labarge. (is that how you write creamated? Just like cream?) Ice cream?

Just for the record, I my comment was not meant as a complaint....the ubiquitous influence of technology....still a novel concept to me as I refuse to acknowledge having aged out of my twenties.
********Well put, Porc. At 78 rpm I'd like to go back and live it all over again but only if I could take my smarts with me
Thanks all for the warm welcome and gentle initiation.
******It was relatively gentle, too. Hang in there and I guarantee you will experience sessions much deeper in their vituperation and fulmination. Be expecially careful not to post a thread that could even remotely be construed as smacking of politics or religion
There is, however, one other board of this sort even more liberal but I cannot identify it for reasons of protocol and so if you could contact me otherwise, I am dalehileman@verizon.net

Thanks, Dale.
I won't contact you outside of the forum, just because I prefer the safety of anonymity.
One cannot be too careful.

Dangerous Dan is fine but my favorite is that night on the marge of Lake Labarge I creamated Sam McGee. Especially if read aloud in truly lugubrious tones.
McGee
(Sorry, I can't figure out how to make a one word link.)
Hey, it worked!! Ain't technology wonderful. Ah!it worked. As this is a threadful of cyberhash I get on where Sam McGee got smothered in cream.( you were kidding me, I really believed it.) The second hand book shop had a little survey of English poetry, which I could trade for two books I brought in. I never ask money but trade books. The poem of The Burning Babe caught my eye; just give you the first allineas. As I in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to vieuw what fire was near,
A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;
Who, scorchèd with excessive heat, such floods of tears did shed,
As though his floods should quench his flames which with his tears were fed.
'Alas!'quoth he, 'but newly born in fiery heats I fry,
Yet none appraoch to warm their hearts or feel my fire but I.By Robert Southwell, (1561-95) (it runs on and turns out to be symbolic for the birth of Christ, but till the near end I wondered what horror story this was)

One cannot be too careful. Hi Porc: Yes that's what I used to think, but the as I began revealing my address I was astounded to find my Inbox no fuller than usual while I still get only two or three Spam per day Nonetheless I can well understand your concern
