    Goliath Is Back!

    Sure would be great to have Goliath over here. Once he comes over here, he will be addicted, to the the friendliest board on the net. Come on Chappy, work on him. Once he gets over here, he will see how nice it is. It will not be like he does not know anyone, may have forgotten some, but then again he can make new friends. Barb

  4. Hi Shadow: Glad to see you here. I also was wondering about sidekickcat. She always drops by everyday in BestTechie Cafe and updates us what is going on in her part of the country. I hope it is only her computer, and that she and her hubby are OK. Anybody that can find out some info, please update us, as I know you will. A member of our BT family is MIA. Barb

    I don't know how they think this stuff up!! Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country. 1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head) 2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT YOUR AREA CODE) 3. Multiply by 80 4. Add 1 5. Multiply by 250 6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number. 7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again. 8. Subtract 250 9. Divide number by 2. Do you recognize the answer? Pass this on and sha
  6. Deep in the back woods of Indiana, a hillbilly's wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here. You hold this high so I can see what I am doing!." Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there", said the doctor, "Don't be in such a rush to put that lantern down I think there's another one coming." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "Hold that lantern up, don't set it down there's another one!" Sa

    The Interview

    Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope you got it. Whew, I'll bet you're glad that is over. The interview is harder than the job. Your confidence is probably what will get you the job as well as knowledge. Good luck Barb
  9. FOUR FRIENDS AT A PARTY Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a party. After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who remained talked about their kids. The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday." The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific
  10. Looking at those pictures on TV, it is hard to believe no one was killed. Miracles do happen. Excellent response time by the Fire Dept. Good job Toronto. They said they evacuated the plane with all passengers within 1 minute and 1/2. WOW. That is impressive. Barb

  13. Comparing Cars With Computers At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would
  14. Welcome to BestTechie SubWolf. This is a great place to be. You will meet some of the finest people here, and I might add very knowledgeable. Thanks for the link, but I never did believe it was true, but thought it was funny. Here is another site I use to check this stuff out also: Snopes Barb
  15. DESERVED REPLY TO MEDIA REPORTER Subject: THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER! Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald,

    From The 50's

    How about the 45 and 33 rpm. I still have them all. The 8 track (tape) , finally threw these away. Transistor radio, I think I still have one in a closet or attic somewhere. Barb

    I remember all of these, except food feed. Instead of accelerator, we called it gas pedal. My how time flies. I forgot about these. I'm sure there are a lot more. Barb
  18. Brilliance Revealed... While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north, because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff." I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days

  20. I don't know if anyone remembers the old "Art Linkleter" show "What Kids Will Say" or something to that effect. It was hilarious, and they were so serious in their answers. That was what made it so funny. These remind me of that show. Barb
  21. Subject: Never Try To Outsmart A Smart Woman A man called home to his wife and said, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and fishing box? We're leaving from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being the good wife she is, did exactly what her husband asked
