    Fe-mail packets?

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

    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.

    Now when it comes to soda, my favorite is RC Cola if I'm being naughty

    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
    in the past 25 years too. People tend to be muxh more well behaved in
    here.

    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)

    I'd not know. I don't like beer. I much prefer the harder stuff.

    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)
