I have found that religion and politics can cause trouble
between friends, so I don’t talk much about religion.

To all, a WOOHOO for your recovery!

For me, I avoid talking politics with someone I know holds nearly opposite beliefs as I do. There is little chance for agreement, and almost certainty of generating ill-will. I'm going through that now with a high-school classmate on Facebook. Anytime he disagrees with something I post, it is with anger, vitriol, and usually name-calling. I'm currently ignoring his comments, but if it keeps up, I'll have to un-Friend him.

I also hardly ever talk politics with friends, it always turns out into a discussion. Don't have that problem with religion though.

A civil discussion can be enlightening, and bring both sides closer to agreement. But an uncivil discussion.... see the current US presidential campaigns. I'm about ready to wish "The fleas of 1000 camels infest the underwear of all parties".

I have my thoughts, but expressing them here would be a partisan political statement, and we are not supposed to do that in this area of the Forums. But whatever happens, the next few years may be very interesting to live through.

Wow, what a meandering from the thread title ..... ;-))

Yes, I suppose we should nudge it back in Sir John's direction....
Later today, I'll stop by my favorite beer shop and see if they carry Landlord..

Ditto to Chris's comments, and we enjoyed his company. As did our furballs who followed him everywhere ...

Good to hear Chris, I find it's easier to work on the cooler than on the PC, I had to work on My PC in place, which cut the time required for the psu transplant(850w to 1350w) by a good amount as there was no lifting of the PC and/or unplugging of a lot of external cables...

For those that have been following our friend Johns' progress, this is to let you know that yesterday I went up to his house for the day, and relocated two heavy computers from the hallway to the upstairs computer room, and connected them up for him. No way could John have shifted either of them with his current disability, but knowing him he would have had a go! He can now get them back up on line, one at a time at his leisure.

I was treated to lunch and a pint of Landlord at the local pub, which was worth the trip just on its own :-) John is doing very well, and both him and his wife Sheila are most positive about the future. A great day out for all concerned.




That's very good news Chris:)

So your grunting and groaning was to good effect.

Glad to hear that the furballs have been doing their job of getting John better

Glad to hear you had a good day with Sir John & Sheila, Chris.

My favorite beer store does not carry Landlord. Lots of Smithwick's, Newcastle Brown, Theakston's, Bass, Harp, Guiness, Fuller's, and something called Dirty Dick's Audit Ale from the Nethergate Brewery, but no Landlord. Maybe I'll ask for a special order.

Did pick up 3 bottles of Chimay - Red label, Blue Label Ale, and Gold label. Will be interesting to see how they differ.
