   NB> DS> I think the commercials for Allstate (with Mayhem) are a scream.   
      
   NB>Another company... I've seen a few of those.... the Geico ones sometimes   
   NB>are cute, too.... But they don't encourage me to switch to them... ;)   
      
     The ones I like with Geico are the "answering machine recordings" with   
   "a problem roommate"...such as:   
      
   1) The male who left all the doors unlocked and wide open...and he left   
   all the burners on the stove on...and wonders why his Mom kept him out   
   of the kitchen.    
      
   2) The female who was saying that someone broke into their apartment,   
   and stole all the electronic stuff...but is about to cry hysterically,   
   thinking they stole her $2 water bottle...then finds it.   
      
   3) The male who calls Animal Control for their delay in coming over to   
   help him get rid of an angry possum...who he tried to settle down by   
   feeding him, but the critter is now tearing holes in the drywall, and   
   building a nest.   
      
   NB>... I didn't know it was impossible when I did it.   
      
     That's what I thought when the BBS crashed in late February...but it   
   was the BinkP daemon mode in Windows 10, with memory errors. Then, with   
   thunderstorms practically every day, it made no sense to attempt any   
   work with the BBS. We've had some damage from high winds, large hail,   
   tornadoes, and flash flooding...but compared to portions of Louisiana,   
   Mississippi, and Alabama, among other areas, we've gotten off lucky.   
      
     With a few days of a weather lull, I got with my FIDONet hub, Marc   
   Lewis, to tweak things, and I think everything is working again. The   
   messages won't start flowing again until Friday morning, when the new   
   nodelists come out, as I told my hubs to remove the CM (Continuous Mail)   
   flag from my entry.
