It can be taxing, you know. :wink:

In t***h, the woman I dealt with was quite nice. I quoted, section, subsection and the two sub-subsections verbatim. It was no small amount they, mistakenly, thought they would get. She asked if I was a tax accountant. I told her no. She told me the only people who quote anything that minute are tax accountants. We resolved it amicably. Heh...heh...heh...heh...in UncleE's and my favor.

You can be very taxing, also.

I hope UncleE got a new sport's car out of it! :wink: :thumbup:

Heh...heh...heh. :lol:

UncleE will not fit in a sports car.

Old story...His older sister received a Porche for one of her birthdays. She and her husband flew to London for business. Uncle and myself were down visiting his parents. She left the car there with a message we could use it. UncleE was TOO tall to get in the driver's seat. The car sat there the whole weekend, unused! :!: :( :|

He is not particularly fond of my car either. With the seat all the way back, it is difficult. Hey, I bought it for me. :D

I am probably only one of many on the OPP who consider themselves 'technology-challenged', so I will share this letter written to a local publication:

I thought about the 30 year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a Blackberry that played music, took videos, pictures and communicated with Facebook and Twitter.

I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my 7 kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great-grandkids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.

That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix.

My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.

The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue Tooth (it's red) phone I am supposed to see when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife as everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. Seems I have to take my hearing aid out to use it and I got a little loud.

I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-ul-ating".

When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.

They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves, but this sudden "paper or plastic?" everytime I check out just knocks me for a loop.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "paper or plastic?", I just say, "Doesn't matter to me...I am bisacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look.

I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, "No, but I do toot a lot."

I am probably only one of many on the OPP who cons... (show quote)

I never heard of Sabena Airlines, but I remember the scary adventure of flying Piedmont Airlines from decades ago. Do they still exist? They were an eastern U.S. airline. :?

Sabena Airlines was an international carrier based in Brussels. The name ceased usage in 2001. I am not sure from Brussels still has an international airline.

Piedmont Airlines is a now subsidiary of US Air.
