        Another boner on the conference call yesterday. A thirty minute conference call was going on 92 minutes, and I had to call home about something, so I put the conference call on hold. No sooner had I dialed home than I get an IM from another participant: Did you put us on hold? I realized my hold music was now playing in the background of the conference call.

          I'm not sure I'd describe that as "another boner."

            Her "on hold" music is very erotic.

              Actually, I was on the Unicode committee for a while around 1990 and told them about the Deseret alphabet. They'd never heard about it. The original members wanted to be fairly thorough, but didn't want to throw the kitchen sink into the standard. I guess they reconsidered later.

                  I truly hope that is the case for you.

                      1. Technically, to pull another boner, you have to have had at least one boner.

                      2. I was hoping it said, "Life is a series of choices, with the consequences played out in dimensionville."

                            You make a great point. Good choices and message boards are mutually exclusive.

                            Would it be a good choice to delete my prior post, or would I just be compounding poor choices?

He looks like a hermit with discolored teeth, but he's come up with some brilliant small house designs, and off grid living strategies. The beautiful eco people love him.

                                I hear he lives in Flaming Gorge. Anyone else ever heard of him?
