I got a flyer on my 'Puter today that advertises a "NEW SPOUT FIX" for what these idiots have done AND mandated. I'VE ORDERED 3 for me AND WILL GLADLY PASS ON A COPY OF THAT POST IF YOU ARE AS CRABBY WITH THE EDICT AS I AM, BUT I NEED IT SENT TO MY E-ADDRESS BECAUSE OF MY LIMITED 'PUTER SKILLS, and not real cheap BUT? LMK. Jer

Amazing the things they do to protect the people, I suppose it can cut down on lawsuits.

I posted this a while back but it still and will ring true.
An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!t
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who
has been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long
ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing
regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the
job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental
consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;
and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a
burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed
to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.
She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepchildren;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing

YouTube has videos on how to by-pass them and make them work like the old ones.

Thanks Larry, but I'm not on That Tube or Face Book or any other Google Book. And can barely peck out a message on this 'lectronic Machine. I was on this planet when Hitler invaded Poland and I some times scratch my head and can't believe the changes that have come about in my life time. A few good changes but not all good. And thanks OZ, I'm going to frame that OBITUARY, Jer

YouTube is interesting, you can find videos on how to do just about anything.
YouTube, fishing sites is just about all that I do.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone here.
I don't use a computer just my phone.
