Hi, I have access to tons of small plastic bottles, mostly one -two ounce (fluid) some with screw tops, some with snap tops. (ok, they are bottles from drug collection kits, yes, urine bottles) more often than not, we use one bottle, and toss the other in a box of "extras"... never been used, only tossed in a clean box. We can't use the extras, 'cause the persons being tested have to choose a new, sealed drug collection kit each time.... There are tons of these!!! Since they are watertight, they are great for glues, EP's and glitters, etc.. especially for shipping, they stay closed well... If you would like them, I can fill a Priority shipper full and send them off. You can send me a $3.00 stamp (the big box goes out by weight, and I can't imagine it being more than the 2 pound max), and your address (preferably a label) and I'll send them out same day.. Since we have a steady supply of them, I can just keep sending, just be sure to enclose a note saying you want plastic bottles!!!! Email me in advance, and I'll have it all packed!!!!

Just wondering if anyone experiences this: When you are composing an e-mail and take a long time (thinking about what to say or how to say it in writing); AOL sends messages saying you have been idle 45 seconds or whatever and do you still want to be on. Is there any way to avoid the messages? I was thinking you could possibly create a document somewhere else then cut and paste it to e-mail; maybe that's too much trouble. I'm pretty much computer illiterate so I was wondering if someone has any suggestions. I've deliberately taken a long time composing this e-mail and have gotten only one message from AOL - what's going on - maybe when you're on prime time hours they're watching more closely.

Gonna be crowded. Anyway Pittsburgh,PA Chanel 6 News and Johnstown,PA Chanel 10 News are both in our Drug Store right now interviewing my son. Don't know what will make the news tonight but if there is nothing major going on a lot of stations around the country will pick up on it. They do it every year. So if you see it the cute pharmacist at Stewart's Drug Store being interviewed, it's my son.. Also our PA Lottery machine is the only one in the state and maybe the country that has sold 3 Jackpot winning ticket that made people millionaires. Two of the Millioniares are running the machine this afternoon. That may make the news. (3rd one is deceased). The PA Lottery tonight is 50 Million Dollars. I'm planning on winning it..

They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father "What is this father?". The father responded "Son I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is!". While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a voluptuous 24 year old woman stepped out.

The only advantage to this particular kind of digest is that it crams the 200-300 messages into a half dozen or so humongous messages. So it might work for thos whose mailboxes are limited by the number of messages but not by the byte-size. On the other hand, many email systems simply won't accept the huge messages that the digest provides. It will be interesting to see how this one works out. I know that a digest was attempt a year or so ago, but it wasn't able to consistently bundle and transmit the messages - people subscribed to it actually missed chunks of messages. Sorry to sound pessimistic. Hope this digest attempt does work and is of benefit to those who have trouble with number of messages. /\ (o) .\/\ /\ . . . in the darkness, light . . . . \.\/\ / .\ /\.\/. \ /. .\ /\ Kate Whitridge /. \/. .\/ . \/. \ The RubberSnark ./ . . \ . / ..\/\ whitridg@achilles.net ------------------------------ From: stamper@sprynet.com Date: Sat, 1 Feb 1997 11:12:33 -0800 Subject: RE:"A Friend Like You" quote Quote for today........

EhEhEh.... AOL is SO CHEAP that they are SO afraid you are logged on and using up their valuable modem space. With my ISP I get these message if I have been idling for 20 minutes. 45 seconds you say? geewhiz!! DITCH AOL and go for local ISP. Don't get me wrong. I WAS an AOL user back when they had MUCH better service and not so CROWDED. Sorry but I think less and less of them everyday when I hear all kindsa lawsuit against them and all the complains about not being able to get on especially during primetime. I do know they are user friendly and people prefer to throw in a disk, install and bingo youre there. But hey what do you expect? Take the time to learn just a teeny bit about your local ISP and what they have to offer. You will learn that its alot more flexible. You get to choose browers, telnet program, ftp program and even configure so that they browse in the background for any new updates/upgrades/etc. And no there is no way to avoid those messages. Youre STUCK with them. Either keep your fingers busy or move to ISP!!
