Sabot Saloon XII

[Betty Boop]

Ms. Boop enters the Saloon. She gets up on a table to make an announcement. Some have said they should listen to Ms. Boop - she hopes some of them will.

Ms. Boop's personal and private life have become the focus of no one's in cyberspace's business of late with a volley of accusations and false information disseminated. Today in Ms. Boop's e-mail in reality she received the following from a staff member here at Trackpads:

Coleen, the other night, all the pieces finally sunk in. As for this Christian talk, you're not a good example, the way you carry on in Pads. Any further e-mails or PMs you send, I will delete without reading them. I think you need a shrink.

Ms. Boop says GET A LIFE PEOPLE - ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO CARRIED ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME ABOUT THE SPECIALLY ICED SINNY-BUNS NOT THAT LONG AGO.

This place used to be light-hearted and fun - Sorry you all, those days are gone. Ms. Boop has a life in reality and it is a good one that is getting better all the time. But it is in reality rather boring - and none of you all's business.

Prayer Club members, pray for yourselves - You are so darn hypocritical and I think some of you, most especially the person who felt that stealthing into another's lives by e-mailing to inquire about lives - probably need the most psychiatric help out there. Your knees have lost their calluses because you all are trying to do God's job.

Ms. Boop then gets off the table. You all ... Announcement time is over.

Ms. Boop goes to the coffee pot, pours herself a cup of coffee, and does what she does every Sunday morning ... heads out the door for church and then to help set-up for the 10:00 AM service and the Communion elements.

Blessings you all!

Personal feuds and problems between members should be handled by pms or e-mails. They should not be aired out on the open boards, it is irritating to the other members and makes them hesitant to post. If any two people have a problem they should work it out privately between them, not in front of all of us.

[Betty Boop]

Absolutely SFGA! I agree. And people should respect private lives as private, not contact people to get "the skinny" in e-mails, and not make judgments about people they have never met in reality - nor about their personal religious convictions nor without license their psychiatric/psychologic states. Absolutely - I agree with you 100%!

Betty kicks the jukebox, after having made herself a quadruple-Irish frappacino in a giant-sized tumbler

Jeannie C. Riley's 1968 #1 hit about The Harper Valley PTA plays.

Betty smiles as she listens. She has had a great morning. Been to church and had a totally awesome worship experience, then prepared the second service communion elements, gotten the son his physical for band and football, and now is just going to enjoy her frap and a ham and cheese sandwich before doing her usual Sunday afternoon household chores.

Absolutely Paul - Absolutely!

[Snowden]

There shouldn't be a feud among us. We're family. Come to think of it, most feuds are among family members! But let's have a glass or cup of something refreshing and start the day over.

As usual, I have a question! Cal, what is a "frap?" It must taste very good; I believe you have mentioned them before. I've never heard of them -- is it a West Coast goodie?

We've actually had some rain here! Max and I had a quiet time on the porch listening to it. One of those soft, whispering rains. It was chilly most of the day, but is warming up now.

I hope the fresh, clean air and peacefulness will spread. Our back yard is green and quiet. Very relaxing.

Does anyone know how to convert a data set from Excel to SPSS and back? I might also need some BC Powder for the headache. And a crowbar to uncross the eyes.

I heard that there was Starbuck's Terraza Blend with double espresso being served here.

[Betty Boop]

Ms. Boop walks in, hears Cato's plight, and makes him up that espresso he has requested. It will take about 30 minutes but the caffeine should "kick in" by then and make looking at spread-sheet figures much more barable (bearable?). Sorry, I don't know a heck of a lot about spread sheets, Cato. Hopefully someone else will.

Beast enters and grabs a brew. How come we were kicked off the sticky?
