@Ireland ... naturally I read the comical stuff and the news articles most of you are far more computer savvy than me so some of it goes right over my head but I read and enjoy and great deal of it.

GOOD MORNING FROM FILTHY-DELPHIA BOYS AND GIRLS:
I'll beat Ireland to it: Free coffee and breakfast buffet to everyone!
Edit: Where is everybody today? No one's eating! Yesterday I threw out a stinky client, this morning I've already thrown out a woman with an infant that would not stop screaming loud enough to break the windows. I swear, children should not be allowed out of the house until they're at least twelve!

God I hated Windows 98 .... constant problems. I know many don't like XP but to me it was a god-send (not to give Mr. Gates a new title).
Edit at 5:50 p.m....Good night everyone!Gerry1 is off to a King Tut dinner and costume party at a local club. I'm going as an egyptian scribe with Timberland boots for the snow and a down jacket. (The ol' dead boy king is in town and I get to see him, some of his buddies and furniture as well as other cool stuff like a mummified egyptian pussy cat and an IMAX show on ancient egypt this weekend).

I must be one of Gates dream customers. I liked 98SE over 2000 and ME. I didn't have any noticable problems out of it. Well maybe they didn't like that 98 preference over the new stuff. LOL When XP came along I jumped on it and haven't had any problems so far. I didn't have problems when SP2 arrived and that one had a lot of PCs acting screwy. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones. Of course there's been the adware and virus attacks, but that's what the AV ware if for. It's a shame the intelligence required to figure out the code and write viruses and adware attacks isn't used more constructively.

Ohio must have sprung a leak. Last time the weather was bad the snow ran down 75 all the way into TN. The skiing was good in Gatlinburg. ;) The Guv may be gone, but he left the taxes for you. I've got family outside Dayton and they're not overly happy with the increase. TN is okay, but the state gets its pound of flesh on what they do tax. People in the border counties go across the line to shop.

Ohio has a state income tax,tennessee doesn't. I know residents of TN had to pay taxes on processed food,but not unprocessed. Example how I was told: Buy a can of beans and pack of hotdogs,no sales tax. Buy a can of beany weanies,and you pay a sales tax. Very confusing. I've got a few relatives down there. Ex inlaws in nashville,aunt and 2 cousins in Athens. My mom's from western KY and withing a half hour from Clarksville TN,so we were always driving over there to buy Fireworks, LOL
TN has what,an 8-9% sales tax?
Ohio is anywhere from 6.5-7%,probably higher in hamilton county with those cincinnati residenets paying for a new football stadium with increased sales tax.
California is one of the few states that pays more taxes than Ohio,again-thank you Bob Taft.
I had an email which had all the types of taxes 100 yrs ago-which was 0 and showing all the taxes we have today-astronomical. Maybe ireland has that email, LOL

I've got family in TN as well. Those taxes on food and drink are what sends residents across the line if it isn't too far. I own some vacation property in TN and when I head that way, I stock up on groceries. Tourists get soaked, but that happens a lot of places. For a while I didn't realize some places had separate pricing. One for the locals and the other to soak the tourists. One night in Pigeon Forge, TN I gave the waitress a nice tip and she ran the bill through as local. It covered the cost of the tip, but it also let me know how bad that burg was soaking tourists. That's one of the biggest tourist towns in East TN. I suspect most of the tourists never know. What's funny is you pay a fortune on small items in some of the local shops but the bargain mall outlets have some super prices.
You mentioned fireworks. I usually pick them up outside Knoxville. On the 4th of July the police don't make arrests for fireworks violation in Ohio, at least not where we go. So we set them off on the farm outside Daytion.

The water is going to be crowded in Ohio this year. They had to let most of the water out of Lake Cumberland this year for repairs. On any given weekend there was a solid string of Ohio boaters headed to that lake. They'll have to find another spot this year. Navigation is hazardous with those big speedboats when the water is that low. It's going to be below normal winter stage. Nearby municipal water intakes are high and dry and the water treatment discharge above waterline. Hope all those boats don't mess with your fishing.

Pacman:My dad loves those outlets,especially black and decker.They hit dollywood-my aunt always has a yearly pass. They want to move down there.
Cincyrob: We both posted the same time-jinx!!!. I can't wait to get the boat out. Still got snow on the ground and around a foot of ice on my lake. Just think,early january it was 50-60 degree weather and I was worried the lake wouldn't freeze.
I'm going to try to make it out to mom & dads before the ice storm hits. I gotta charge up my batteries and get some more delicious saugeye out of the deep freeze.

LOL Funny, I like that big Black & Decker outlet too. You can go in there and feel like the "Tool Man". The family down in TN get family passes for Dollywood every year. It's a short drive for them. It's amazing how that place has grown. As a youngster I went there when it was Silver Dollar City.
It's nice country and nice people. Your parents will probably enjoy their retirement there.

Morning All!!!!
cincyrob,we've got a new career scoring champion:
After weeks, months and even a year of talking about it, the record has been broken. Jon Diebler ended weeks of anticipation and build-up by scoring 44 points Friday evening to pass Jay Burson as the No. 1-scorer all-time in Ohio high school basketball. Upper Sandusky won the NOL Championship with a 90-64 victory against Norwalk while Diebler broke the record held for 22 years.
UPPER SANDUSKY ? As Ohio State head coach Thad Matta slipped quietly out of the Upper Sandusky High School gymnasium with his youngest daughter, Jon Diebler was surrounded by hordes of reporters, cameras and Ram fans celebrating not only a conference championship but also their part of history.
This was Diebler?s night.
Matta was just one of approximately 1,7000 people that crowded into an electric setting for high school basketball witnessing Diebler break Jay Burson?s all-time record for most points scored in a career in the history of Ohio high school basketball. Matta, former Ohio State standout and color-commentator Bill Hosket joined Burson and his family to watch Diebler score 44 points and become the No. 1-scorer in the history of Ohio with 2,960 points Friday night.
?It was just another basket,? Diebler told masses of interested listeners after the game. ?Everyone kind of went crazy but like I said, it?s not just for me, it?s for everyone in this community, the three communities I?ve lived in and all of my teammates.?
Upper Sandusky notched a 90-64 victory against conference rival Norwalk to take home their second outright Northern Ohio League Championship in three years. But the bigger story for fans of Ohio basketball was Diebler?s final two baskets of the evening.
Diebler intercepted a pass at mid-court with 3:11 left in the game and took it all the way to the hoop for a thunderous slam-dunk that brought the capacity crowd to their feet as he tied Burson?s 22-year old record of 2,958 points.
Just 20 seconds later following a Norwalk basket, Diebler brought the ball up the floor and delivered a pass to the right wing to senior guard Jarryd Nelson. Diebler immediately sliced to the basket and Nelson delivered him the ball in-stride as Diebler made a driving lay-up with 2:51 on the clock for points 43 and 44.
The world and the game both stopped at once. Surrounding Diebler at halfcourt were his teammates, coaches, photographers, Ohio High School Athletic Association officials, Burson and his family as well as Diebler?s father (and coach), Keith.
?It was kind of like the state tournament with both him and (his brother) Jake ? you kind of see things happening and you wish you could freeze it in time to really appreciate what?s happening,? Keith said of the moment his son scored the record-breaking field goal.
Among the hype and hysteria as well as anticipation of Diebler possibly breaking Burson?s record Friday evening, he?s had to shoulder the agony of a grandfather being admitted into the hospital for pneumonia on top of everything else.
Keith said it was an eye-opener for he and his family to appreciate one another and enjoy everything life throws at them.
?It?s made me kind of take things slow,? the elder Diebler added, ?and also really appreciate these moments.?
The game was halted for nearly 10 minutes with Upper Sandusky holding a 34-point lead as Diebler was honored by the OHSAA with a plaque for his accomplishment. The brief ceremony included Burson and Diebler exchanging handshakes at halfcourt.
Burson was also honored for his place in Ohio high school basketball history.
?It?s an honor and I think that I really had not reflected a lot on it until the last week or so,? he said Friday evening. ?I?m honored and flattered that someone thinks highly of the record.?
Entering the game, Diebler had 2,916 points and needed at least 43 to break Burson?s mark. His season average, ironically enough, was just shy of 43 points per game.
Adding to the perfect irony was the fact it was Diebler?s final home game. It was senior night and a chance to break the record on his home floor ? the last time he would play in that gymnasium.
It couldn?t have been scripted any better.
?Not at all,? said a thankful father and head coach. ?I just can?t wait to get home, close my eyes and thank God for how this turned out.?
With their sights set on an NOL Championship, Diebler and his teammates played remarkably consistent and with near perfection despite all the hoopla.
Diebler jumped out in the first quarter with 11 quick points.
He followed it up in the second quarter with another 12 points. He also had four assists and it was clear he was not letting the possibility of breaking the record change his philosophy.
But in the third quarter, Diebler mostly got his teammates involved. Despite making several no-look and behind the back passes to his teammates, that often were dropped, Diebler took just five shots and scored 7 points on two field goals.
As the anxiety grew to start the fourth quarter, Diebler was stuck on 30 points with just six minutes remaining.
A decision had to be made with the Rams winning by 30 points.
?I was debating as a coach on whether to take him out and wait until next week,? Keith said about weighing the father versus coach aspect, ?but we let him finish it and I?m glad it?s over. I think he?s glad it?s over.?
It was quickly apparent with just under six minutes remaining that Diebler would get the record.
He calmly made a couple of shots and sank a pair of free throws, and by the time it got under five minutes left, he suddenly had 38 points ? just five shy of the record.
?We kind of let him go,? Keith added. ?I think the kids sensed it too.?
Diebler made a pair of free throws to get to 40 points with 3:27 remaining. It was two possessions later that he made the steal and dunk to tie it before breaking it at 2:51 and making history.
?Mister Burson said it correctly in the paper,? Diebler said. ?It?s not a record for him or I, it?s a record for the fans.?
After the game, Diebler barely had enough time Matta to whisper congratulations in his ear before sneaking away.
Diebler then finished up with reporters, cut down the net with his coaches and teammates and continued to sign autographs for over an hour after the game ended.
For the first time, he could have signed those autographs, ?Ohio?s No. 1-scorer.?
He probably signed them, ?NOL Champs.?
Sure, it?s his night, but it was also his team?s night as well.
