Fe-mail packets?

Either that or from a hockey puck and some Timmy's. LOL

Yes. *STRICTLY* that kind. ;-)

LOL, I had to look up Timmy's. Don't have any of that restaurant around
these parts, but I do have a lot of hockey pucks. Maybe I'll use shrimp-n-grits.

I think the nearest Tim Horton's to me is in Noo Yawk City.

Maple syrup and Labatt beer. Toss in Bob and Doug Mackenzie and you're golden, eh?

I have a few doors and file areas. If I put in all the files I have, it'd be about 20GB of files but no one looks for files much anymore, except in the FileFind echo.

Likely the same for me.

I grew up on maple syrup and Labatt's, about an hour's drive from the
Canadian border, although I always preferred Molson Golden.

And generally quantity tends to have a negative effect of quality... B)

I have had Canadians tell me Molson Golden is better than Labatt.

I'd not know myself.

Yes, which is why I stress that I prefer quality over quantity. I'd
much rather have a few good messages that a ton of nothing.

I am thankful that I have only had to moderate only a handful of times

Both beers are horse-youknowwhat.

Saw some other msgs here about Tim Hortons. Completely overrated.

Actually I like 7/11 coffee... and the Maxwell House breakfast coffee-pods.

No 7/11 around here, sadly, but I do like McDonald's coffee.

I used to have to drink the charcoal the Army thought was coffee when I was in the Army and anything is better than that.

I also believe it is better. Hard to find this far south, though.

I used to enjoy RC Cola, though haven't seen that in a long time either.
I'm not likely to try any soda with the word "Diet" on the label, have
never liked the taste of the fake sweeteners.

The only time I ever played games on a BBS was when I first got
into the local BBS options. They had one at the highschool that
had a Poker Game on it. I played that for about a week until I
got the high score and then lost interest.

I'm sure AI is much improved since then but it didn't take me long
to see the weak points in the computer I was playing against..

The only soft drink I usually buy is Dr. Pepper...

I hear that started off in Texas in 1885...

Although Coca-Cola was close, starting off in 1886, although the
original had real Coca extract in it.. They say it got very
popular very quickly.. B)

Good to hear.. I suppose 'Quality' is a matter of opinion but I don't
think any of my messages have been deleted so I suppose I should feel
good about that.. B)

There is some variation but usually US Beer runs about 5% alcohol
and Canadian beer is more like 7%..

I had some beer and some (more) hard stuff when I was young and
foolish but I quickly decided I either had to give up drinking or
give up fast cars and motorcycles or I was going to die young...

I actually quit drinking before I was old enough to do it legally. B)

Be sure you have plenty of Moonpies to go with that RC Cola. :)

As for Moonpies, I got these "birthday mini moonpies with sprinkles"
off of Amazon for a "Sweet Treat"...and a needed energy boost when I
have to do overnight Skywarn Weather Nets.

My favorite, though...was Nehi Peach.

However, I discovered that the carbonated beverages give me kidney
stones, so it is RARE that I'll order them. In most cases, I'll get
the sweetened iced tea, but with the caffeine, I can't drink it that
often.
