Sorry that I do not lurk before posting - But I am not really very sorry. Some years ago I got some crap - the "glue spreader" from HCA and I tossed the snailmail spam. I got more crap from them and sent something back with no intention to pay for whatever they sent. I looked online and saw that - I think it was this newsgroup - folks bitched and laughed about drill gage and wire gage and assorted crap and not getting anything the HCA promised to send. Last year or early this year I returned a thing telling them to send me the damned stuff they promised before I send them money for anything. - So they sent me a flashlight and what I call a "Swiss Army Pliers" and they sent me thanks for subscribing to their magazine. So I been getting their magazine ever since. (Hey! I am trying to shorten this longish stupid story) Okay! I got myself a couple batteries for that cheap knockoff of a MiniMag light and screwed it together and it popped off the lens. - It works now that I superglued the lens in. A jaw broke off that folding "Swiss Army Pliers" when I tried to cut a weedeater string. So, I figured F*** them. Then they sent me a book and I looked through it and thought WTF - it was interesting and maybe had a couple things I did not know already so I sent them ten bucks. Today I got stuff from them that I am sure that they did not have time to get my book payment and respond - I am amazed!!! First thing was a $24.00 rebate check which I used to get the groceries that I went to town to check mail and get groceries. They said that my cashing the check would finalize my lifetime membership and that I would never ever have to send them money anymore. - I did not see anything on the check that bound me to anything - so WTF? Now I got home and looked more in the envelope and I got a window sticker and an iron on patch and a nifty looking carpenter pencil - Hey! even looks decent quality though I have not tried to sharpen it yet to see if the knife grabs the lead an pulls it...

one imperial and one metric leg so I can get the dustballs outta my DC so itdon't explode on me. Who knows what I'll find this year - last year I foundthe neighbour's cat (which made a dandy pushstick).

Old Nick woke up, stepped out of his space capsule, and wrote in news:...

Earth to Old Nick, Earth to Old Nick, anybody there?

For some reason, there comes to mind a Steve Martin stand-up scene where he is being heckled. He smiles at the guy benevolently and comments, "Yea, I remember my first beer".

Enjoy the Papst Nicky, H

specifically at 605 and tell me where they get to place information back on for more than 7 years without a prior judgement, or reaffirmation of the debt, or the specific exemptions listed?
