Daniel Bienvenu: thank you! rich=c: I think it is great that there is still demand for Colecovision games, and your producing them is really appreciated rich=c: now if there was only a supply of machines to run them! Daniel Bienvenu: you don't have some colecovision game systems for sale? rich=c: I think I have about half a dozen that still work, yes - and of course the Adam runs them Daniel Bienvenu: The non-working colecovision systems are in the trash already? rich=c: yes, I think I finally tossed them - no one wanted to try to fix them rich=c: after all, the game machine does nothing the Adam won't do more and better

Ron: well at least the snow has gone Judy: hi, Ron Ron: Hi Judy, Hi Bob rich=c: from which I infer it is chillier than you like it Judy: not ours, or the ice Ron: that was getting ridiculous Ron: still is Rich, yes Ron: yeah, but it's different for you guys - it's expected there rich=c: we have some fairly deep freezes overnight Ron: We have about 2 graders and a plough and a half for the entire Valley rich=c: Frances won't let me go out because she's afraid I'll slip Ron: she might have a point Rich Ron: Bob, did you get the xmas thingy? rich=c: I fear she probably does, but that doesn't make me like it any better Pamela: hi Ron, that's the technical term I gather : ) Ron: right Ron: best I can do right now Ron: Hi Pamela rich=c: I did manage to take her out grocery shopping, though Ron: so at least you have food. That's a good thing rich=c: yes, I'm always in favour of food, though getting so little exercise I'm not sure it's a good thing Ron: true Judy: no, Ron he did not, when did you send it? Ron: Last Thursday morning - am rich=c: the scale says my weight is holding, but I've suspected it of lying to me before BobS: got nothin man BobS: where did you send it?????? Ron: maybe I sent it to the wrong address. What's yer e-mail? Ron: sbcglobal? BobS: rslopsema@sbcglobal.net Ron: hmmm.... hafta check the other machine. Will be right back Pamela: there that's better rich=c: oh Pam, did you get the clip on Speedy I sent you last night? Pamela: yes, isn't that sad Pamela: looks like they did me a favour rich=c: the sort of thing that just sends you off cursing under your breath BobS: sad.....yes....WHAT? rich=c: how did Bev take it? BobS: Speedy goin out of business? Pamela: she's been aware all along but finds it sad too rich=c: you got it, Bob BobS: good thing you got a better job then Pam Pamela: things haven't been right there for a long time Bob rich=c: she didn't have any choice, Bob - the western buyer laid off all the Toronto staff Pamela: not true Dad rich=c: that's how I understoof it, Pam Pamela: Speedy was company owned and operated all the way down the line Bob Pamela: but they expanded too fast and spent too much money Pamela: after the IPO the stock never regained it's initial value Pamela: they started selling off divisions Pamela: first SMK Europe, then Speedy US, then Car-X and finally the Canadian division Pamela: in an effort to put a finger in the dike Pamela: of course as divisions were sold off, staff was laid off rich=c: and they still owed 2.8 billion at 12 percent interest, if the story is right Pamela: finally they sold the Canadian division to a franchisor, Minute Muffler based in Alberta Pamela: the intention was to franchise the remaining corporate stores Pamela: and as a result, all those whose jobs related to running the corporate stores with the exception of a few were lost, including mine Pamela: however, they weren't successful at franchising the stores and sought bankruptcy protection Pamela: that protection ended when it became clear that all of the company's assets would be sold Pamela: the last of the remaining head office staff were laid off in the last 60 days Pamela: it was a Canadian success story for a long time and I'm proud to have been a part of it rich=c: To interject - Pam, how much have you told Kimberly about my medical problems this year? Pamela: I feel sorry for those who stuck it out to the end and got screwed rich=c: amen to both those sentiments, Pam Pamela: some but not a lot Dad, why? Pamela: actually I guess I should say - surface stuff but not a lot of detail rich=c: oh, my Christmas letter can't help mentioning some, but I don't want to repeat or bore anyone rich=c: it is hard to avoid the "oh poor me" feeling, though I do try rich=c: by the way, I don't need the nursing visits any more Pamela: that's good! Pamela: so that's the story Bob rich=c: nurse told me Monday the wound is now closed up Pamela: sorry to be so long winded Pamela: and is it??? rich=c: yep - now if it bleeds, it's Band-Aid stuff - still looks horrible, but it's closed BobS: everyone has a story Pam and you need to vent it swometimes Ron: All hail to the corporate food chain Ron: Bob..... that's the address I sent it to - 2:21 am on Dec 6th. Have just sent it again to rslopsema@sbcglobal.net rich=c: well this was just sheer managerial incompetence, Ron - likely with an overdose of greed Pamela: you know the really sad part is Ron that it's the management who screwed it up Ron: usually is Rich rich=c: but as Pam said it was a real Canadian success story - damn managers who can't stand success Pamela: they did get greedy - expanded too fast Pamela: they should never have gone public rich=c: and now Speedy is a nobody, and that's a crying shame Pamela: although I would like to know how they managed to get 2.8 billion in debt Pamela: that's a lotta dough BobS: not here yet rich=c: must admit the number certainly startled me - it seems incredibly high Pamela: and it certainly wasn't nearly that bad when I left BobS: maybe have to send it to ANOTHER email address becasue ATT is screwed up Ron: hmmm.... Pamela: it does to me too Dad Ron: have you got another? Pamela: unless they were borrowing at incredibly high interest rates and I don't see how that's possible BobS: try jslopsema@sbcglobal.net OR adamcomoputer@sbcglobal.net [note the misspelled adamcomputer word] rich=c: I've found email isn't necessarily instantaneous, Bob - it's likely stuck in a spoam filter BobS: getr all of ron's other emails ok rich=c: yes, but this one is not straight text Pamela: I heated my Magic b Pamela: ag in the microwave rich=c: and? Pamela: now I have this intense craving for fresh bread : ) rich=c: where do Magic bags come from? Ron: ok, sent it to both Pamela: magic barley : ) rich=c: don't be uppity, daughter! Pamela: but Daaaaad : ) rich=c: besides, barley is for making beer with Ron: it's travelling with a 160k attachment but that shouldn't slow it up any Pamela: well I'm not craving beer, that's for sure Ron: Do you have any fresh bread Pamela? Pamela: no : ( rich=c: I am but I will likely wait ten minutes or so yet Pamela: I came home on Monday afternoon off the elevator and someone was baking bread - the whole floor smelled of it

Have to print the mailing list as well Pamela: it's enough to make you gag rich=c: gag or salivate? Pamela: gag as in revolting Pamela: it always smells like it's been dead for a couple of days too many without refrigeration BobS: it is ADAMCOMOPUTER........I goofed when I set up my id at AT&T and now it is permanent Pamela: I don't know how anyone can eat something that smells that horrible Ron: ok, that's what I used rich=c: sorry - I didn't catch the fish line - yes, that's godawful, don't know how they stand it Pamela: I think the super may have said something to them because it hasn't happened for a couple of months Pamela: either that or the offenders have moved out Pamela: thank goodness! rich=c: either way, if you're rid of it, count your blessings Pamela: so does everyone have their trees up yet? rich=c: yes, we have our little porch tree up, and the Christmas lights Ron: Haven't put up a tree in about 5 years. But I do have outdoor lights up now Ron: Won't be in town for the entire holiday, so I don't see any point Pamela: will you be with Jeff and Francesca? rich=c: we have no place inside for a tree, but put a little fibre-optic one on the porch rich=c: Frances just came in and says the tree isn't lit - I will have to onvestigate rich=c: will go and be right back Pamela: I expect the super efficient Slopsemas are done right? Judy: have the trees up and most of the presents are bought and wrapped, if that is what you are asking Judy: was just off talking to Meeka Pamela: trees? You have more than one? Ron: Yes Pam. Managed to wangle an invite to my ex's place in Victoria where we will all gather Judy: yes, a his and hers Pamela: wow Pamela: I'm impressed Ron: Then I'm off over to Edmonton on the 27th for a few days Judy: Bob doesn't get real excited over my Snowbaby tree Ron: Now Robert Judy: and his has a village and train under it Pamela: now who's in Edmonton again, your sister? Pamela: is that all that's on it Judy? Ron: yes, sister - Dr. Stephanie and her significant other Ron: Brother Dave and his girlfriend will be up from Calgary Judy: just about, has icesickles and some crocheted snowflakes Ron: Gets kinda confused every 2nd year Ron: On the off years, I just go to Edmonton for the whole time Judy: Bob's is the traditional tree with the ornaments Pamela: I must say I'm glad I don't have to travel over the holidays Pamela: you should get pictures Judy : ) Ron: Well, I tell ya.... when you live by yourself, Christmas needs to be done somewhere with other people rich=c: if one could drive it might not be so bad, but flying is always a horror story Judy: maybe I could do that, don't do much intertaining to show it off like we used to Ron: so where in screamin' blueblazes did that card get to? BobS: i don't know........got nothing yet Pamela: I'm ashamed to say ours isn't up yet BobS: anywhere Pamela: we're working on it but we had to make room first Pamela: lotta stuff (read clutter) in the living room Ron: does sbcglobal have an automatic junk filter? Judy: then I have our village over the cupboards in the kitchen Ron: allright, I'm gonna try something else. BRB BobS: nop;e BobS: you should see the crap I get rich=c: I have a couple of little figureines we put up, but I can barely reach the places now Pamela: we've got a busy week this week and a busy weekend ahead of us. I'm trying to get stuff done in the evenings, so that we can spend part of Saturday and Sunday getting it up Judy: we have about 25-30 houses with people and trees up there rich=c: when do you want to come fetch the songsheets, Pam? Pamela: the good new is, I'm done at 5:00 on the 21st and will have the whole weekend to finish up what needs doing Pamela: probably on Saturday Dad BobS: ron, I have had problems in the past about even getting the mail thru because ATT was screwing with something or other Pamela: we have haircuts on Saturday afternoon so I'll probably stop by on the way home and pick them up Pamela: it's the only opportunity I'll have rich=c: yes, and you've been having ice storms and downed lines in your part of the continent too rich=c: far as I know we aren't going out for any reason Pamela: I just hope the weather holds for Sunday Judy: our ice storm wasn't that bad, could have been much worse Pamela: I'm not driving to Orangeville if the weather turns really bad Judy: we had a sunny day today, was wonderful rich=c: no, and the dirty part is it is often much worse there than in Toronto Pamela: yes we did too Judy and I was stuck indoors all day rich=c: make sure you keep an eye on the weather radar rich=c: Judy, are you still studying or have you finished now? Judy: I was sitting waiting in the parking lot trying to avoid the sun on my face, am not supposed to get sun on my forhead Pamela: oh I will. I'm paranoid about driving in that stuff Judy: forehead, that is am putting some cream on it for sun damage Pamela: meaning you're not supposed to get UV exposure? Judy: yes, no sun right now Judy: putting on some nasty stuff Pamela: well if you were sitting in the car you're okay - no UV comes through the windows Judy: supposed to burn it real good Pamela: yes I've heard that cream is nasty rich=c: what's the cream for, Judy? I may have missed something Pamela: I'll be right back - I have to go start the dishes Judy: sun damage, was in to the skin doctor last week and she treated it and sent me with a prescription for some cream Ron: Sent it one more time Bob, only from this computer instead of my other one. Just left here rslopsema@sbcglobal.net cc adamcomoputer@sbcglobal.net BobS: chemotherapy cream rich=c: basically severe sunburn then - OK, that makes sense BobS: i just turned OFF all the ATT filters Ron: ok rich=c: the filters are really a pain for all users, it would appear Judy: so far it hasn't done much to it but make it itch like crazy rich=c: all my newsletters plead with their subscribers to be put on the personal whitelist Ron: here, some get thru, other's do not....and that's my choice rich=c: seems they are inundated with bounced - or more usually dropped - newsletters then nasty emails about non-delivery Ron: some don't know the difference between information and advertising rich=c: I don't ask for, let alone buy, a newsletter unless the value of the content is there Ron: exactly Ron: One of my criteria is that I must be allowed to reply to the sender. if not, then I'm not interested in doing business rich=c: wish I had time to read as much of the content as the value justifies Ron: Apple is amongst the worst of offenders rich=c: yes, although with some of them you may have no need, or urge, to Ron: that's true, but if I do, I want the opportunity rich=c: I find Tech Support Alert very valuable, but have only ever written to them about subscription matters Judy: it came thru, it would be playing as we speek Ron: helluvajulha rich=c: what receipt time is on it, Judy? Is it the first copy or the latest? Pamela: there, my dishes are soaking Pamela: and my hubby will be happy Ron: cant spell halliluja Pamela: that's hallelujah, Ron Ron: thank you hallelujah!!!! Judy: 10:30 pm today Pamela: but I liked the first version : ) Ron: good rich=c: so it's from one of his later transmissions, then Judy: how is Russell's job going? Pamela: it's going well Pamela: he's been upped by a buck an hour and they've increased his hours to 40 rich=c: does it offer much opportunity for overtime? Judy: that is good, he is lucky that he found another job Pamela: so, he's back to making a decent wage Pamela: the first 40 hour paycheque will come in this week BobS: HALLELUYA BRO Judy: here they just keep laying off more and more Ron: verrry Interesting. that was the last one sent from the Mac.. Previously it was sent from XP on the Acer..... wonder if Bill Gates is swallowing my e-mail Ron: and it runs ok? Pamela: not much OT Dad but he's indicated he's willing to do so within reason rich=c: you don't even know which of the various ones it is yet, Ron BobS: runs great Ron: well the last one from this Mac left here at 7:29 pm Pamela: we won't get rich on it, but at least we'll be able to meet our obligations Ron: our time Judy: that is a good start, Pam Ron: good. glad to hear it Bob. Sorry about the 1 week delay. I just assumed that you got it rich=c: right - Dave Laru is working at Amazon on a 4/10 schedule - with this week 20 hours of mandatory overtime BobS: got to be the one.....it was the version to rslopsema with a CC to adamcomoputer Pamela: I was seriously contemplating a second job for a while there Judy Ron: yup that be the one Judy: it does feel good when the money is coming in BobS: no problem sir, will get i online tomorrow night, NO PAIN NO GAIN Pamela: takes a load off my shoulders Ron: yeah - that's the strange thing about money Judy....you can't live with it, and you can't live without it Ron: true Bob Pamela: hey I can live with it - just give me the opportunity to try : ) Judy: that is why I really wanted to get a job, but right now it would be better if it didn't happen right away rich=c: and you have to take care of it if it is going to take care of you Judy: we may be going away in Feb Pamela: for how long? rich=c: can HfH spare Bob for that long? Judy: he is going on the job down to Miss for a week or so BobS: yupo Ron: interesting rich=c: bet the wether is warmer on that one BobS: the HfH I work for is going with wome volunteers from here to work in Biloxi Mississippi BobS: fer 1 week Judy: good to go where it is warm to build a house rich=c: be careful, you may not get him back till spring Judy: I will be with him BobS: would take an extra week to sight see and diddle around BobS: take the motorhome down rich=c: Biloxi? is there anything left after the last hurricane?

Most employers will be willing to accomodate you and if they won't you probably don't want to work for them anyway. Ron: Yes Judy, Pamela is quite right Judy: very true, but don't even get calls for interviews, seems they are not interested at this time Judy: but then there isn't much to apply for either rich=c: anyway, with the time up and down, it will be at least two weeks, won't it? Pamela: it's what I told my current employers when interviewing in March - I need a week off in July and I wanted to warn you now, so it's not an issue Ron: sounds like things are still pretty slow in Michigan rich=c: yes, Michigan is the rustiest part of the rust belt - they are in really dire straits rich=c: fortunately they have a good Canadian governor - from BC BobS: 2 days down, 2 days back Judy: tommorrow I am taking the MicroSoft Word 2 again, then will take the exam, see what happens Ron: oh do they? rich=c: that's some heavy driving, and the weatherman may have other ideas Pamela: at least now you know what to expect from the exam Judy rich=c: yes, Jennifer Bornhold was born in BC Pamela: this time I think you'll have no trouble with it Judy: getting slower, may take until 2009 before things start to get better Ron: aha rich=c: Bornholm BobS: naw 2 days is plenty good, did it with my folks couple years ago Ron: what would it be, 1200 mi? Pamela: how far is it to Mississippi and what route would you take?
