She had to be a blast to be around. She was outrageous.

Mmmm... your breakfast dinner sound great. What type of steak did you fix? For some reason I always
seem to do a thinish rib eye when I whip up steak and eggs.

OK, I think I've got this figured out -- you don't understand my use of English grammar's
subjunctive mood. Here's some info I found that explains it:

And that would be the "Free State of " Winston county. I did a lot of work in that area. Pan Ohco

It's pretty good. Adequate message retention and delivery, good selection of newsgroups other than
it carries no binaries. I use it at home with my bare-bones dialup provider, which doesn't have
news. You have to register for it, and set up you newsreader to send user id and password, but
that's no biggie.

If you want to play with the big boys, you have to be willing to take a few lumps.

Sheldon's postings aren't archived by Google. I suspect that Google tries to do some e-mail address
verification and is blocked by Sheldon's firewall. But that's just my guess.

Then why would there not have been recent ones?

Barry, I just did a Google Advanced Groups Search and used Sheldon's given ID and mail address in
the "Find messages with all the words" box -- I got 617 hits for the time slot from January 1, 2004
until today. Looking randomly at only four of the first 20 on the results showed Sheldon being
quoted in others' posts.

I've heard it used as a slang term for your behind, butt, hind end, ****, keester, *****, tush. . .
. "He fell on his prat." My mail program's dictionary says it's a slang term for buttocks. Now,
sprat, OTOH, are little herring fishies. And brat -- depending on the pronunciation that can be a
German sausage or someone like me. "-)

Possibly because we've reached the point where anyone with at least two brain cells working has
already killfiled Sheldon. It's been a MUCH more pleasant place since I did that months ago.

Ah, so there are recent ones. I was taking the OP at face value. I see I shouldn't have. Oh well.

The English-to-American dictionary would probably be of some help:

Randal--just ignore Sheldon. We have long ago realized he is a lonely neurotic person filled with
hate. Don't even try to reply to him. Someone once said: "No one above me _would_ insult me. No one
below me _could_ insult me.

Actually.. who's this "we" you mention? Many of "us" manage to see through the trolls who just post
negative things about him because they're really no better. But "some" seem a need to be insulting,
yet aren't they then stooping to doing exactly what they complain he does? I find much useful
helpful information in Sheldon's posts. As much if not more than "some" who complain about him. Go
figure? Goomba

You're right - Cullman County is next door. One of my favorite "Winston County" stories was this:
during the Civil War, when Alabama seceded from the Union, Winston County "seceded" from the state.
I am not kidding. Evidently caused a huge stink from adjacent counties at the time, but Winston
County was (and is) dirt poor and must not have seen any durned reason to send their boys from the
farm to the fight.

Wish to hell I'd gotten my Alabama grandmother's fried chicken recipe before she died. Mine isn't
bad, but hers was a gift from the gods.

I just posted about that - yup, the locals take great pride in that designation, although my
grandmother referred to the Civil War as the "War of Northern Aggression" until the day she died.
'Course, her grandparents actually lived through it, so may have received a somewhat slanted
accounting.
