BK> > Fundamentalist Christian. BK> BK> BK> Is that a well financed brainy/medium religious type? ;) Well, as for well-financed, he's not - just got laid off at his job of several years. Brainy, he is - a WHIZ at electronics. I remember as a kid he would take a transistor radio and make a TRANSMITTER out of it. Didn't broadcast much outside the neighborhood, but he wasn't even in high school yet. And this was BEFORE Radio Shack kits and Heathkits were available. YOu tell him what you want a thing to do and he will make it do it! He was the victim, I guess, of new management - at least that's how my mom interprets t. Medium religious? I don't know about medium, he figures if he finds a parking place in an area that it's usually tough to find one, that God set it aside for him. He is dating a woman that he feels the Lord wants him to be with. He's not evangelical - at least hasn't been - he doesn't push it on other people that I know of. --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: ElseWhere (1:114/212) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1I00003 Date: 01/13/97 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 04:47pm \/To: BOB KOHL (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: youngsters > BK> my baby, it was hard enough to put up with those > BK> snobbish H/J types when they called CJ a pony.

You know, the ones that think you ain't $h!t unless you ride a HARLEY? Hondas don't count. The Hunter/Jumper types here figure you're no horseman unless you ride and show H/J. Even Grand Prix dressage people don't know anything, in their book! I lost a lot of standing in some people's eyes when I quit jumping. And, BTW, the horse I was jumping was CASEY. The cob. The one who LOVES to jump. And has the heart of a BIG horse. --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: ElseWhere (1:114/212) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1I00004 Date: 01/13/97 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 04:50pm \/To: BOB KOHL (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: Test BK> AHh MIke got in at about 1PM today and has pretty much BK> been asleep since..

It must be a small town because at times she has had to fill in for the principal of the high school, and the next day be principal of a grade school. She makes 2 1/2 times what I do, though.

I always wonder if DT> parents who name their kids things like that secretly hate their kids. I think the drugs may have SOMETHING to do with it.

We have gotten some rain, means the watersheds and dams will fill up and we'll be fine - again. --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: ElseWhere (1:114/212) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1I00006 Date: 01/13/97 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 04:58pm \/To: MIKE MAY (Read 1 times) Subj: snowbirds -> MM> Someone told me just yesterday that they had -> MM> heard it MM> had snowed in -> Phoenix!

Anything like the Polish chickens? Is it unusual for them to have chicks when the weather is so cold? I am only around hens with no rooster, they seem to cut WAY back on their laying this time of the year. And the peahens only had one baby survive this year - their egg-laying is VERY seasonal. --- Maximus/2 3.00 * Origin: ElseWhere (1:114/212) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E1I00010 Date: 01/13/97 From: VICKI NICHOLS Time: 05:23pm \/To: MEG ALFONI (Read 1 times) Subj: Luck?
