I said:"If I hit the reload button again tonight I'm going
to load my .45 and do a Dirty Harry on this CRT."meaning only that I'd blast the CRT to smithereens
so that I would get off this machine & go to bed.It was humor, cynical & mildly frustrating humor to
be sure. Maybe it was dark, but I didn't perceive
it to be.Sorry for the misunderstanding. Appreciate the concern.
Won't mention the G word again. Promise.BTW I got a new NRA magazine today, want to come
over & read it? NO NO NO!!! Why did I say that?hb ;)
