Dave K,

 

My parental units are functioning fine
considering they are 85 and 83, well over the expected warranty period.  I hope
they continue to enjoy their extended warranty for many more years in the
future.

 

And…You should wash out your mouth
out with incense ash for using the R-word!  Next thing you know we’ll be
flooded with posts and our life will be consumed with the Zen Forum leaving no
time to actually do what’s most important in our zen practice: read more
books about zen!

 

…Bill!

Agreed, and hope all is well with the parental units.

The word "religion" always makes for good bait. :)

This is just the yin/yang of the zen forum.  Sometimes it's hot; and
sometimes it's not.  For me personally, I've been on a extended trip to the
USA the past couple weeks to visit my parents so have not had a lot of time
to devote to the forum.  Also, I think there has been some kind of SNAFU
with the email links to the forum.  I keep seeing postings referring to
previous postings I never saw.

Working the zen forum is like fishing.  You just have to keep throwing out
bait and be patient.  You'll get a bite sooner or later...
