Nicotiana rustica because paying huge amounts of tax to be preached at all the time .. REALLY pisses me off...
Haven't been on here for YEARS, refurbishing an old PC, going through my saved Internet shortcuts if found AD. Most other Forums just dead now, still cant remember the one I used for DVD drive firmwares and mods. I recognise a few names still here, Sophocles and ddp .
Long time no see (figuratively speaking). Things (except ddp) have changed quite a bit over the years and a lot of the old forums are now gone, largely thanks to sites such as Facebook. Here's is a little history on the disappearance of CdFreals/MyCE. https://confusedbird.com/thread-174.html
can change perfection except for my body, all because I tripped & took off 8" square inches of skin off my lower right shin.
my front porch got me. did not rip the clothes I had on but removed the skin instead. wish it was the other way around but maybe somewhat better this way as found a couple issues I did not know I have & not the "c" word.
I'm aware of these threats lurking in our environment. I watch out for them. Damn stairs lurking there just waiting to leap out and pounce on our lower extremities and spines.. Broke my collar bone slipping on some hiding in my house 30 years ago.. Snuk up on me they did.. caught me unawares.
I must be break resistant. I'm a cyclist and I've slipped on wet leaves and gone down at 15-20 MPH and all I lost was a little skin. I was T-boned on the passenger side by a car doing 50 mph (80.47 kph), that knocked me on my side and skidded off the road into an Iron fence. The car was completely totaled and I crawled up and out through the passenger front window without a scratch.
the worst for me so far was when I was about 10yrs old on a friend's veranda running & tripping right into the corner of a brick post. good thing I was wearing a baseball style cap as at the time did not suffer any effects from that trip or so I thought till decades later I found a dent in my skull.
Very timely discussion. I was 5.. it was Easter. My grandfather had very recently died and my half sister was only weeks old.. and I went and fell off the wall of a ruined barn and broke my arm and collar bone. I can remember running home screaming all the way (about a mile).. mother phoning one of her friends in the village and getting a lift to the hospital in town. Then I remember lying on this thing with wheels looking at the x-rays hanging on clothes pegs in front of lights on a rack thing.. Next thing I remember is waking up in a bed and throwing up everywhere... Result.. Replacement elbow bones (steel to this day.. replaced again when I was around 14) and the ability to write with either hand. People used to smoke in hospitals in those days. Lovely hospital it was.. with a balcony overlooking the river Wye and the trees and playing fields across the water.. all gone now.. 1971 was a t0ugh year
Yep i can concur the 70's was a good time to be a kid.Learning to take hard knocks was what it was all about. Pain threshold is now "over 10,000"
Logging back into AD just makes me sad. So many people I miss. The old topics of DVD backups and posting burns, encoding, etc.... so much fun. I guess thats what getting old gets you.
