  1. Don't EVER use the USPS to ship anything.  I shipped four working Pac-Man arcade boards to GA (the next state over) on 07/10.  The boards never got there.  I placed a 'Search Mail' incident, and when nothing got done I placed an Insurance Claim (took out extra insurance in case of anything).  They just denied me and didn't give a reason.  $400 and four working boards are now gone.

      Oh, I'm BEYOND pissed.

      Rose Mary and I are going to try and take care of this tomorrow.  She's off from work, so she's going to the post office to talk to them directly.

      @Random Terrain Wow - that sounds EXACTLY like what I have, to the 'T'.  Glad she is feeling better.

      Thank for the good wishes, guys - I'm feeling a little better today,  still a cough, but my fever is gone.  So far, it's been flu-like symptoms for two days, and I literally slept all-day Saturday; something I've never done in my life.  Rose Mary had it first, so I knew it was just a matter of time before I got it (and frankly I'm surprised I didn't get it the same time she did).

      Check your difficulty switch settings.  I forget which direction the switches need to be in to make the game easier, but they do when set correctly.

      Why did someone have to clean up Al?  Was he dirty? ?

  10. Did you know if you mess with cheats in MAME and enable invincibility  in puckman/pacman, you can (with some finagling) make the demo get all the way up to the key, intermissions included?

  18. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  Thanksgiving is a little depressing for me this year.  It's just my Mom and me. (My sister passed away May 1.)  We're having a turkey breast instead of the whole bird.

  19. My mom passed away this morning.  She was not only my mom, but a friend.

  20. Wife seems to have recovered. Although not confirmed by tests (she has really bad gag reflexes so couldn't do the test properly), doctor's told her she certainly had it. Chances are that both myself and daughter had it as well but didn't come down with any symptoms.

      Very glad your Wife recovered.  Excellent news!

  21. Last night, my wife and I had to make the most difficult decision of our marriage, if not our entire lives.  We put my pup, Daisy, to sleep.

     

    I carried her in my arms from the place in which I adopted her ~10 and 1/2 years ago at 9 weeks old.  

     

    She was in my arms as she was put to sleep.  We loved her so...she will always be missed.
