Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

He's not a musician, he's an electrical engineer. That should explain everything.

Hm, that could explain my own membership in the hallowed halls of 1109-edness, elsewhere on this website....

He's an engineer.

You gave it away Jeff.

 

[SoulReflection]

Hopefully you’re missing their calls. Email is a good filter.

Yes, but, any calls that are not from your contacts should not ring and force you to look at the phone to see it's a "potential scam call". Maybe I am missing something?

 

[Jeff Scott]

A mustashe like that takes a commitment to be sure.

He I certain was am quite the ornery character. Did any of y'all read those two pages of that article I posted that photo of. Pretty wild guy he was I am!

Do you have anything you designed on Mars?

I simply don’t respond to my phone unless I’m expecting a call. It can’t make me jump. Doesn’t rule my life. Maybe you need a text message only phone.

No I don't. Kudos to him! Was it for the 'Muricans or for the johnnie-come-lately Chinese?

Note: You might be handling something I did a little work on, right now.

In the last two hours I have received 7 voice mails stating that my Apple Account has been "breached" from 7 different numbers in my area code. Isn't that special? Thank God I had "Do Not Disturb" turned on. What a pile of (you know what).

My policy as well. I answered on a whim yesterday and it was a customs agent telling me that they were holding a package at the border for me.

 

[Charlie Tango]

But all it takes is for these idiots to be stopped from hiding behind factious phone numbers and having to use the numbers they were issued. It is such an easy solution that I do not understand why it is not done. The number you are issued should not be able to be changed. Same with MAC addresses. What am I not understanding here?

You are not understanding duplicity. Grifters gotta grift.

 

[GwenOnBass]

I recognize incoming calls from the doctors' offices and the horse pistol because they are the only ones in this area code with those prefixes.

Pretty seldom that I have actual phone calls for pleasure. Used to do that. Call a friend and say, how are you doing? And talk for an hour! Some people like that, some not so much. These days it feels like not so much for everyone. Every call has a reason. As soon as that reason is fulfilled, we're done bye

So much better than sitting around in lockdown, aye?

 

[beans-on-toast]

Call me old fashioned, I still regularly write letters. I type them into the computer, print them, put them in envelopes, then take them to the post office. The days of a two cent stamp are long gone. Delivery is quick enough. It’s well thought out and more satisfying than the interweb.

 

[Jeff Scott]

No I don't. Kudos to him! Was it for the 'Muricans or for the johnnie-come-lately Chinese?

The Rover, for one, and most likely, the more recent projects, too.

If it's something like La Contessa's smrtphn, not. Don't have one of those mind destroyers.

I have a few friends that I still talk on the phone with for hours (literally) at a time.

 

[markwrob]

Did the same for tons o' rust spinners, too. So if you're pounding on a desktop or laptop, could be some of my work there.

 

[Jeff Scott]

What are rust spinners?

 

[markwrob]

What are rust spinners?

Hard disc drives. The mag media on the platters is/used to be iron alloys.

They jinked the line to my homeworld and now look.

These are not the lifeforms you are looking for

This is pretty close.

Here'a photo of him.

In my warped, juvenile mind, I would have guessed that your twin’s name is Burger Chef.

We need to see a picture of the two of you standing together.

He looks suspiciously like a cross between one of my aforementioned friends who can talk for hours on the phone and Alfred E. Newman!

I don't think either of us have a photo of the two of us together, well, not since many years ago.

 

[2tonic]

......And another thing, where is the TP?

It's in your hand.

Errrr....ummmm...I mean it is your hand.

I would avoid an evil twin for fear that you would be a target for spare parts. Especially if you signed an organ donor card.
