Yes, Virginia, There is a Fidonet
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
If the young girl who questioned whether there is a Santa Clause
|
||
were around today, she might wonder if there's really a Fidonet.
|
||
Her shiny new computer connects her to the World Wide Web at a
|
||
moment's notice, but there is no place to click on Fido. But her
|
||
folks talk about a place where they laughed and played... is it just
|
||
legend?
|
||
|
||
Dear Virginia,
|
||
|
||
So long as there are folks who can see with their imagination,
|
||
there's a Fidonet. The world you can see is a thing of beauty
|
||
indeed, but sometimes you can miss the beauty when it's placed
|
||
before your very eyes and you don't need to do anything to see it.
|
||
The truest beauty is that of your mind, but it takes some work on
|
||
your part to see it.
|
||
|
||
Clicking on a web site is a fine way to see a car you want to buy,
|
||
but to see a person, you need more than a picture. You need to work
|
||
at getting to know them.
|
||
|
||
Fidonet is a place where you talk with only words. The only picture
|
||
you see of the people you talk with are the pictures they paint in
|
||
your imagination with the words they write. Though a photo of these
|
||
folks may be beautiful indeed, the photo can seldom match the
|
||
glimpse you'll get of their true beauty inside.
|
||
|
||
More important, the beauty inside you will show as you become
|
||
practiced at writing with them. Though you may think you're
|
||
ordinary, you'll find that the beauty of your imagination is beyond
|
||
compare with the mere image of your skin.
|
||
|
||
It's a mystery, perhaps, why written words can convey images more
|
||
vivid than the camera hooked to your monitor... but maybe that's the
|
||
reason people still read books even though cinema stories have been
|
||
around for a long time. Fidonet is the place where only written
|
||
words are used, and yet some have never found a more vivid way to
|
||
talk.
|
||
|
||
Yes, Virginia... there is a Fidonet :)

Ol'WDB's Column
|
||
wdbonner@PacBell.net
|
||
|
||
|
||
Friendship is a strange thing...
|
||
|
||
We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our
|
||
lives...things we don't even share with our families. But what is a
|
||
friend? A confidant? A lover? A shoulder to cry on? An ear to
|
||
listen? A heart to feel? A friend is all of these things and more.
|
||
No matter where we met, no matter how long we've been together...I
|
||
call you a friend. A word so small, yet so large in feeling, a word
|
||
filled with emotion, a word overflowing with love.
|
||
|
||
Truly great things come in small packages. Once the package of
|
||
friendship has been opened, it can never be closed. It is a constant
|
||
book always waiting...waiting to be read...and enjoyed. We may have
|
||
our disagreements...we may have our disappointments...we may
|
||
argue...we may concern one another...friendship is a unique bond
|
||
that lasts through all tribulations. A part of each of us goes into
|
||
our friendships...our humor...our experiences...our tears.
|
||
Friendships are foundations...necessary for life...and love.
|
||
|
||
Friends...you and me...You brought another friend and then there
|
||
were three...we started our group...our circle of friends...there is
|
||
no beginning...there is no end. Even though I don't speak to you all
|
||
everyday...or even as often as I would like to...You have all
|
||
crossed my path of life, and mind... in one way or another...some of
|
||
you I've only bumped into...some have walked a while with me... and
|
||
some of you will continue to walk with me...
|
||
|
||
But DON'T EVER THINK FOR A SECOND that since we aren't in constant
|
||
contact...that I don't think of you all...almost everyday. That
|
||
memory puts a smile on my face and coffee in my cup as the sun rises
|
||
each day. Thank you.

The Old Couple
|
||
Thanks to Roy Reed

FIDONEWS 17-31 Page 4 31 Jul 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
The little old couple walked slowly into McDonalds that cold winter
|
||
evening. He looked out of place amid the young families and young
|
||
couples eating there that night. Some of the customers looked
|
||
admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking.
|
||
"Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together,
|
||
probably for 60 years or more!"
|
||
|
||
The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his
|
||
order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple
|
||
took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the
|
||
tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one
|
||
drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and
|
||
carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife.
|
||
Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two
|
||
piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a
|
||
sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down
|
||
between them.
|
||
|
||
As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger the crowd began
|
||
to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. "That
|
||
poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of
|
||
them. As the man began to eat his French fries one young man stood
|
||
and came over to the old couples table. He politely offered to buy
|
||
another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that
|
||
they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.
|
||
|
||
Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite.
|
||
She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking
|
||
turns sipping the drink.
|
||
|
||
Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy them
|
||
something to eat. This time the lady explained that no, they were
|
||
used to sharing everything together. As the little old man finished
|
||
eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin the young man
|
||
could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and
|
||
offered to buy some food. After being politely refused again he
|
||
finally asked a question of the little old lady.
|
||
|
||
"Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything.
|
||
What is it that you are waiting for?"
|
||
|
||
She answered, "the teeth".
