Not exactly sure.
LittleWx had his first Christmas concert thing last night. He stood there and never moved his lips. Great job bud!


Daughter had a kid in her class, when about first or second grade, who would stand there with his arms crossed, look PO'd and stare the crowd down without singing a word. Not sure if he did it the whole time because he flunked a grade and I didn't end up at his concerts anymore.

Got an email about a bathroom trick to lower my blood sugar in 6 minutes. If it's taking them 6 minutes, they must be including extra steps.

Never understood the FCC's standards.....they make (most) radio stations bleep the word "****" out of songs like "Money", and yet allow the lyric "you make a dead man cum" in the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up". o_O

I pay the bill when its put on the credit card. That is the extent of what I do now, besides require that I'm not on it. Many times I have no idea what the card even looks like unless we are at someone's house who got one and they have it up, so I'm never sure if I'm on it or not. I never sent cards when I was single.

Wife has a friend who makes a legal sized paper bulletin (folds it in half to be like a card and a couple times had an extra page inside), who puts their kids' life story for the year in there. Used to also have an article about their dog. 99% of the people don't care about 99% of what the sender did, so just say happy holidays and move on is my opinion.
Mrs. Velo usually puts a Christmas letter in with picture cards. It is a one page update on what we were up to the last year. I won't give her too hard of a time about sending that because she is sure to read every one we get from anyone else.

I have one up on JC because I usually stamp the return address on, put a Christmas stamp on the corner and seal the envelope with genuine spit so I am uber involved.

I forgot, I bought the stamps. So went all in this year. BTW, stamps increasing 5 cents soon, so better buy up. Wife had me buy a boatload.

So did you work with Orin H? We went to the same church. I don’t remember any “subsidiaries” except Tony and Sue we’re starting their second station st Manchester I think
You went to the same church as Orin Hatch, President Pro Temp of the senate? I didn't realize you were Mormon.

Nope, They keep getting voting down so all that money goes across the river to Iowa. It's humorous because they have Keno everywhere you go.
I have a buddy who used to ask people if they want to know how Keno works every time the subject came up. He would say, "Do you have a dollar? I will show you how Keno works." He would take the dollar, shove it in his pocket and say to them, "That is how Keno works."

Velo still has his hair from college so he probably looks more like this.

Plausible deniability that Jagger could have meant could summon a dead man. Several words not on the FCC no-no list because they have legitimate other meanings such as ass, come and *****.

While I fully admit to having a mullet in high school and college and a full head of long hair right after college, I'm confident it didn't look quite that bad.

When I was in junior high I did turn a couple old bikes into a chopper with a 13" front wheel though.:cool:

I hear people talking at times about how to win at Keno. I'll then write a program testing their theory and as usual it doesn't work any better than an other theory.
I set them up with 100 runs at $1 a run and in general they all average out to a return of about .65 on the dollar.
The only thing I can't take into account are the times a number seems to get hot.

I know a woman that seems to win at Keno all the time but she always has a stack of tickets and even when she wins she just bets it all back. One day she won $500 in the first 30 minutes. She had to get money out of the ATM at the bar to pay her tab when she left.

I can't think of a famous person I look like but I have one for my dad before he died.
