    No, not a mod but more of a patriarch. Mods enforce rules, Don's posts might be more about common sense and social responsibility.

    Speaking of which I'm having the intense aura of a major incoming seizure.

    I'm going to go lay down.

    See you in a few days. I'll check in tonight though.

    BD is the uncle who comes over and always has those bigger than life stories to amuse the younglings around the camp fire, even if the camp fire is the exhaust of an F-14.

    I'm getting tired of seizures. I made it through the sledge hammer gauntlet again though. I think I'll be next to normal by morning. (It's 9:30 PM local ATM)

    Yay team.

    Sorry to hear that, Don. Anything with the words "seizure" and "gauntlet" is more than I want to experience. I was conscious through a seizure a few years ago. Never want to do that again. (I guess that does mean the meds were working a bit since I didn't black out. It was also a relatively good thing, I guess, since I started teaching a class about 15 minutes later.)

    Do what you need to do to feel better.

    No; I'm talking about those that come in, start spouting silly stuff in language that the casual onlooker might mistake as scientific, then disappear before being able to discuss the points in that silly stuff.

    I always enjoyed back in the earlier days when a pseudo-physicist with a good vocabulary would bump up against Cougar and try to blow sunshine up his keister. It would seem Cougar finds that exceptionally annoying and would often post his replies in terms that, were we all drinking in a bar together I'd pick up my drink and step from between the two, in case shooting started.

    Hasn't happened in a while though.

    Who are you talking about? Where did you hear that? I never told anybody.
