Oh well,  happens! (or, your version might be "

Okay, I usually see the abbreviations as: Calg., AB

Yes, /italics/ is like this, but I use *bold* and _underline_ for
emphasis, too, and, of course, THIS FOR VOLUME!

I don't stand too well either, but luckily my kitchen is modified for
wheelchair-accessibility, and I have a manual chair I use in the kitchen
for cooking/etc. (I use a big ol' electric to go out)

Doesn't work for me -- I went overboard on the non-starving thing early
on in my disabled state, so I can 'starve' quite a long time without
discernable effect! :D

You mentioned the sciatica, but not this detail of it. ..
Okay, got it now. . .

Or nightmare, as the case might be, eh?

I have been quite ubiquitous in Fidonet and on multiple BBSs across
Canada & the USA (via dial-up -- I got a helluva LD plan!) for over ten
years now, as the "Cyberpope" so perhaps you've just seen me in a
context that was suggestive of my being a [co-]sysop?

Got my appointment in 2 weeks (would've been 1,but their suggested
meeting date wasn't suitable to my schedule (was my homemaking day, and
I _NEED_ my laundry done weekly or I run out!)

No blow, just a bit of self-deprecation about my sometimes slowness to
'get' things. . . :)

You could just resell it now, couldn't you? (eg. eBay)

Just my style of chatting. . .
