5$GENERAL DISCLAIMER: BWMS II IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INFORMATION
|

6$ PLACED ON THIS SYSTEM.
|
||
7$BWMS II was created as an electronic bill board. BWMS II is a privately
|
||
8$owned and operated system which is currently open for use by the general
|
||
9$public. No restrictions are placed on the use of the system. As the
|
||
10$system is privately owned, I retain the right to remove any and all
|
||
11$messages which I may find offensive. Because of the limited size of the
|
||
12$system, it will be periodically purged of messages (only 999 lines of data
|
||
13$can be saved). To leave a message, type 'ENTER'. Use ctrl/C to get out
|
||
14$the ENTER mode. The message is automatically stored. If after entering
|
||
15$the message you find you made a mistake, use the replace command to
|
||
16$replace the line. To exit from the system, type 'BYE' then hang up.

23 Some may notice and others may not. New access permissons are
|
||
24 being applied to new users. After months of one user hoging
|
||
25 the system bitching about the school system, most everyone has left
|
||
26 to other pastures. So now I need to try to make this beast
|
||
27 more attrative to regain users. If you have any questions or
|
||
28 comments about the system, please feel free to do so.
|
||
29 For those who are new, BWMS is the second oldest BBS in Portland.
|
||
30 (CBBS/NW is the oldest.) No donations are taken for the operation
|
||
31 of the system. Archives of all past messages are available for those
|
||
32 who want to buy into the past. BWMS has seen better times. It is
|
||
33 probably going to see more of them in the future.

128 Wesley- What speech method are you using? Vert seemd to be the most popular

129 on my bulletin board. We hav several users with visual differences. I am
|

130 curious if you use a different method. Are you into packet radio now? I
|
||
131 was interested in Ham Radio for a whil, but then the computer bug hit me, and
|
||
132 I never got the CW down. Instead, I wrote a program to decode CW and encode
|
||
133 keystrokes into CW. It worked pretty good, and fit into the 4 K TRS-80 Model
|
||
134 one that I had at the time. I linked it up through a Heath HW-8 and had a ham
|
||
135 friend try it out for me. We QRPed together for a while. He was W6MKM in

256 You're in a fast food restaurant. Sitting on a brightly

258 {ormica, comfortably bathed in piped in muzak and oxygen,
|
||
259 you're about to enjoy that towering icon of American Cuisine,
|
||
260 that hand launched belly bomb that truly satisfies like
|
||
261 nothing else can: a hamburger.
|
||
262
|
||
263 Then it strikes. Eco-guilt. You can just feel it...you
|
||
264 hold in your hand a quarter pound (weight before cooking) of
|
||
265 the finest Brazilian Rainforest beef that roaring bulldozers
|
||
266 and raging fires can deliver.
|
||
267
|
||
268 The question isn't "What can I do to save the
|
||
269 Rainforests?" The question is "What can I do to get rid of
|
||
270 this guilt? I'm trying to eat, for chrissakes."

273
|
||
274 Untold numbers, entire SPECIES perhaps, of as yet
|
||
275 undiscovered, potentially cancer-curing tropical tree frogs
|
||
276 DIED so that you could hold that hamburger in your hand. It
|
||
277 would be a shame not to enjoy it.
|
||
278
|
||
279 Don't let the little buggers down.
|
||
280
|
||
281 If you don't order that burger, it'll just sit under the
|
||
282 heatlamps until closing time, and then some homeless person
|
||
283 will pick it out of the dumpster.
|
||
284
|

285 What kind of legacy is that for the noble little tree

421 The activity level around here has certainly fallen off a bit. Oh well,
|
||
422 nature abhores a vacume.
|
||
423
|
||
424 I think I've found the secret to being happier. Its rather simple really.
|
||
425 All you have to do is confront the things that make you unhappy. Progress
|
||
426 doesn't come over night, but it does come. And for me anyway, confrontation
|
||
427 turns out to be a bit easier than running away all the time.
|
||
428
|
||
429 The biggest hurdle is dealing with the fact that in some ways I'm an adult,
|
||
430 while in others I'm very immature. I think people probably get the wrong
|
||
431 ideas about me sometimes. That doesn't bother me very much anymore. I
|
||
432 used to worry so much about what people thought about me that it made me
|
||
433 nearly totally dysfunctional. Seems stupid now that I look back on it.
|
||
434
|
||
435 With any luck, I'll atleast go down fighting. And who knows, I might even
|
||
436 end up leading a fairly normal, happy and well adjusted life. Somehow, that
|
||
437 prospect doesn't scare me anymore.

443 ????????
|

444 Dreamer: I've learned that everyone is immature and adult. The secret is to
|
||
445 be able to differentiate between the two. You have to know when to be "adult"
|
||
446 and when to not. There is nothing wrong with acting like a kid occasionally.
|
||
447 It allows us to vent our "adult" frustrations in a non-violent way. In my
|
||
448 lowly opinion, acting stupid and childish every once in a while is "normal."
|
||
449 (No, I don't want to get into what's "normal"...)

|
||
494 Sorry I was away for so long. Things have gotten rather tough around
|
||
495 the old homstead. The reason I dropped off to begin with is that the neat
|
||
496 $8.50/hour drafting job I'd found laid me off right out of the blue in
|
||
497 February. I then found another job, but that was on-call, not a lot of
|
||
498 hours; then I found a messenger job, but was fired from that in a termination
|
||
499 that had all the style and grace of an ambush...after only about two weeks.
|
||

|
||
501 When life gets this rough, I lose interest. I really envy Astral Dreamer,
|
||
502 who is right now enjoying the kind of success I thought going to all the
|
||
503 bother of getting a degree in drafting would...at least...help me get around.
|
||
504 As it turns out, lots of work has left me no better off than before; I'm
|
||
505 still scraping (along with my wife) for subsistence...will we have the
|
||
506 rent this month, will the next employer who hires me screw me again....
|
||
507 I'm pretty bitter about it all.
|
||
508
|
||
509 I don't want to own the world. I just don't want to have to worry abut
|
||
510 paying the bills in my corner of it.
|
||
511
|
||
512 Sorry to dump on you all like this. Take it as an explanation of why I
|
||
513 disappeared so suddenly. I'll be back, now and again, and maybe a little
|
||
514 more regularly. Just to chat though; philosophy, I've found, comes to me
|

515 more easily when I"m not worrying about things.

532 I know the one about higher pay = higher bills. We are pretty disciplined
|

533 people though: when windfalls in the past have come, we usually start paying
|

534 bills that have accrued. We pay cash whenever even remotely possible; we
|
||
535 treat credit as though we would be selling off our souls.
|
||
536 The only bills we tend to have are your basics. Fortunately, our
|
||
537 appetites are small, and if I may be bold and sound arrogant (sorry if so).
|
||
538 , we like to think that under our roof, if the means increase, the eyes won't
|
||
539 automatically get larger than the income.
|

540 What you said is a good reminder though, and if somebody didn't tell this

556 Justin, things will get better. Hang in there. These sorts of ups and downs

557 are a fact of life in the economy of the 90's. I live in fear that the

558 company I am working for is going to go under. I was very lucky to get

559 my current job, and I know the chances of that happening again are slim.

561 I think we've all had these sorts of problems at one time or another. I have

563 get a decent job. In fact, I have two friends who fit that discription. But

645 What is a Thomas Guide? It's a map of the area, divided into pages and

647 for Portland since about 1975, and had always did a good job of mapping the

648 area accurately, without much error. The past two years...the '92 and '93
|
||
649 Guides...have been done on computer. Not only does this allow them to easily
|
||
650 update from one edition to the next, but they have started using much more

|

652 maps are readable and attractive.
|

653
|

654 I'm a mapping affectionado, so this was a must for me. Anyone that needs
|
||
655 a good map for delivery or other such purposes (cab driving, for instance),
|
||
656 needs this atlas. Period. Many errors in the first digitally-produced
|
||
657 edition have been corrected, and I"m currently searching this one for the
|
||
658 next.
|
||
659
|
||
660 It covers everything from Saint Helens (the city, not the mountain) and
|
||
661 Ridgefield WA on the north to Aurora OR on the south, and from Forest Grove
|
||
662 and Gaston on the west to Welches on the east. It even has a corner of
|
||
663 McMinnville in it.
|
||
664
|
||
665 If you can spend the money for it, get it. Don't even look at Pittmon's
|
||
666 product...the call it "The Better Map" but havent lived up to it in years,
|
||
667 and probably wont until they get with it and hire me (yes, Oregon Blue Print
|
||
668 has my resume and will soon get another). Some people never learn, though.
|
||
669 I'll probably have to come up with my own publishing company to get them
|
||
670 on the ball. Arrogant? Sure. But those who know my work know that this
|
||
671 is no idle boast. I draw a hell of a map...
|
||
672
|
||
673 Oh. Sorry. I digress. Anyway, just go get the map. It's the best
|
||
674 Thomas Bros. ever have done. It's $16.95 at Powell's Travel, $23.95 for
|
||
675 the ZIP Code version, and there's a Census Tract version which is probably
|
||
676 $23.95 too, but I'm not sure.

690 Nothing much substantial to say...or maybe so.
|
||
691 To correct my prior post about the Thomas Guide, St. Helens the peak AND
|
||
692 the Oregon town are included in the '93 edition, and matter of fact, always
|
||
693 have been. What I should have said is that detail of the south half of
|
||
694 St Helens, Oregon is now included in the *detail* section of the atlas.
|
||
695
|
||
696 I've always found it interesting that St Helens and Rainier are mountains
|
||
697 in Washington, and towns in Oregon that are merely good viewpoints for the
|
||
698 peaks. It's subtle geographic irony. If you don't see the "humor", don't
|
||
699 feel bad. It's just people like me with trivial minds who concern themselves
|
||
700 with needless points of detail. Blatherblatherblather. Anyway.
|
||
701
|
||
702 My PDX map archive has grown by three. I've found a place that usually
|
||
703 has a used map of Portland that I don't yet, and now I have gas-station-
|
||
704 style maps from the late 1940's through the Rand McNally's and Gousha's
|
||
705 of the current day. It's a real education in how Portland and her sister
|
||
706 towns have grown and I spend hours comparing them and compiling the changes.
|
||
707 Some old maps aren't availible for me to own; that's okay...at least I can
|
||
708 go to the Wilson Room at the Central Branch Library and take notes and (I hope
|
||
709 ) make tracings.
|
||
710
|
||
711 Other news...hmm, I see Clinton has chosen Senator Gore as his Veep-hopeful.
|

712 This is going to be an interesting campaign after all. I wish Perot would
|

713 quit being such a weenie and declare already -- I don't really find him
|
||
714 entertaining anymore -- seen in an editorial cartoon today: a worker at Rand
|
||
715 McNally cracking up -- "I just can't take it anymore! First they break up the
|
||
716 Soviet Union, now they're moving California!" -- more geographical irony.
|
||
717 Work at the map houses must be interesting these days.

726 Now, our other kitty, Rodger, has been to the vet's. Another $300 vet bill,
|
||
727 but they're letting us pay in parts over three months. Still a dent, but at
|
||
728 least we may be able to pay it off without help from Mom.
|
||
729 I wonder what it feels like to be able to pay all one's bills. I've never
|
||
730 known that.
|
||
731 Rodger's problem was that he'd been fighting a virus and not doing it very
|
||
732 well. This is in itself a relief, since the doctor suspected he may be down
|
||
733 with Feline leukemia or maybe Feline AIDS. She was very happy when he resp-
|
||
734 onded after only a night of fluid therapy.
|
||
735 Trouble with Rodger is that he's a little black and white kitty who has
|
||
736 always been on the spindly side, and always nervous and skittish; he's only
|
||
737 recently opened up to his person (my wife) even close to the way my kitty
|
||
738 (who has always been very friendly and affectionate) does. So if Rodger gets
|
||
739 even more aloof and distant than before, it's hard to tell if he's ill or
|
||
740 just in a bad mood. Turned out he was badly dehydrated; he hadn't eaten or
|
||
741 drank in well over a day.
|
||
742 Our little friend is healthy, and that's not just small comfort.
|
||
743 Of course, he's still an idiot. I think that's one of the things that
|
||
744 endear us so to him.

772 Just got through watching that Democratic National Convention tonight. There

773 was some amazing speechifying. Mario Cuomo: I can see why so many Demos what

774 him to run for President...he reads the speech which inspriation and vigour,
|

775 and you can see that he believes in his cause. Al Gore: Opened his speech

776 by saying that since he was a kid, he'd always wanted to open at the Garden

777 for Elvis. Most inspirational. Man had the convention in the palm of his h

|

864 Today was an odd day, and a good day.
|
||
865 It was odd because of an coincidental occurrence. See, last year in
|
||
866 Corvallis I was a night janitor at The Beanery (which, for those who
|
||
867 do not know, is like Starbucks, only with true Bohemian charm. Precious
|
||
868 gems). I worked at the 2nd Street Bean (downtown), and knew of a gent
|
||
869 name of Edgar who worked uptown at the 26th and Monroe Bean (the campus
|
||
870 branch). So, there I was, at the front of my 4-plex, looking east toward
|
||
871 50th and Powell where that big auto body shop fire was (I could see the
|
||
872 smoke plume), and who should be walking down my street but...Edgar.
|
||
873 Now, in a town like Corvallis I might imagine such a chance meeting. But,
|
||
874 here, PDX, after moving away from Corvallis...out of all the places we
|
||
875 two could have been in the Metro, what were the chances that he would
|
||
876 have been walking down my street just when I was at the front of my
|
||
877 house.
|
||
878 Wild.
|
||
879 It was a good day because I'd been notified that Multnomah County wants
|
||
880 to give me an interview to become a Office Assisstant. I interview on
|
||
881 Wednesday, and I really hope to get it. This is good, worthwhile employment.
|
||
882
|
||
883 AD:If it's not too personal, how old are you? Did you just recently
|
||
884 turn of driving age or did you put off getting your license? My sympathies
|
||
885 on your not passing your test. On the bright side, consider I just got my
|
||
886 license renewed, and the ID pic is bad enough to make me consider giving
|
||
887 up driving.
|
||
888 I mean it. It's really a dog. Wuff.
