I'm looking to get a dog, a weimereiner (spelling?) Anyway, it's a
grey german-shepherd-sized dog with blue eyes and short, silver fur.

Very pretty.  Unfortunately, the Huntsville Yellow Pages has
NO listings for dog breeders., and the one number I DID find for
Alabama Breeders Association was disconnected.

Anyone know where to get one of these?  (or do I need to airmail one
from up north?)

All right!!! This 'bumper sticker' thing is the pettiest
waste of time to come along since, what? the 'people who
won't make coffee when the coffee maker is low' thread? 
Maybe we could start a new newsgroup and call it something
like 'ingr.bitch-n-whine'.

>so what???

On the serious side, these "My kid is on the honor roll" bumper stickers
are intended to be motivational tools for the students.  Sure the parents
get some pride in displaying the sticker but most importantly it is the
pride that the student gets when she/he brings the sticker home from school
and says "Mom, Dad, look what I got!".  Could anyone then respond "That's
great, but you're not putting that thing on MY car!"?  

So what's my point?  Well, I just wanted to enlighten the net on the
origin and purpose of the honor roll stickers.  They are not something
that you go out and buy.  The student EARNS them and are AWARDED them
by the school.  To make fun of them is childish at the least and to
outwardly display such a thought is...well...let's just say that I
would not care to have this guy as a neighbor. 

I do see the humor (however sick) in this sticker but I would find it more
tasteful in MAD Magazine or some other form of satire.  To display it in
bumper sticker form seems to be making a personal statement.  I know this
is much ado about nothing but it must have hit a sore spot with me.

But maybe some day you will, then your attitude will most likely be more
similar to mine.  Especially when your child brings home his/her first
"Honor Roll" bumper sticker!

No one is moaning about the value of entertainment. The observation
that many value such entertainment far beyond things like education
is an extremely valid one. The point can made that placing such emphasis
on entertainment is detrimental to an individual and (when lots of such
actions are performed by lots of people) society as a whole.

Entertainment is being used for learning in some areas, but it seems 
that when an Alabama Auburn game becomes almost a craze (nothing wrong 
with that to a certain degree) and the educational value of the colleges 
are ignored...that is sad..I think that using a college football game to 
encourage educating people about the college as a whole is not so bad. 
I'm not gonna touch the highschool issue but all I can say is..Anyone 
outthere know anyone who majored in football?

Did anyone happen to think that the bumper sticker was "a joke"?  I happen to
think it is very humorous, of course I'm not an especially big fan of the
"My kid is smarter than your kid" bumper stickers.  So your kid is a "NERD",
so what???
Before you ask, NO I do not have children, in or out of school, smart or

   No one is moaning about the value of entertainment. The observation
Someone certainly was. If not, just take it that I'm arguing against a
commonly-held belief that _sounds_ like what you're saying.

   that many value such entertainment far beyond things like education
   is an extremely valid one. The point can made that placing such emphasis
   on entertainment is detrimental to an individual and (when lots of such
   actions are performed by lots of people) society as a whole. 
The point can be made and it can be refuted, too. Surely I agree that
_individuals_ will benefit by giving work and education priority over
entertainment in their lives. Go to it, you will be rewarded. But so
will the couch potato -- in units that he values.

...And mine are now up. Not too bad; I only had to climb the tower
three times (once for the star, mast lights, and controller; once

weather to be out, too.

There are a couple of nice setups on Drake, east of Parkway City, too.

(Me? Oh, I'm off Drake, seven blocks west of Triana, on Grote St.
There's usually a guy on Spruce, north of me and the second street

genuine reindeer; has a sleigh and all out there.)

I suggest calling the AKC office in Birmingham or Nashville, as I have
found that most "breeders" in Huntsville don't breed for "temprament,
health, etc", just the "gimme money" factor. In searching for another
Doberman, I have called several Vet offices in town, and have received
outstanding help from them. As you probably know, the "good" breeders
don't need to advertise. Good luck!

How about expected AND fawned over? Putting a "My kid made the Honor Roll" 
sticker on my car puts no more pressure on them than their knowledge of 
my expectations. And I do fawn over them every time those reports come
out and the grades I expect are present. It's called recognition for a
job well done. Of course, I hope they don't expect that on the job in
real life! <ouch!>

What is this doing in hsv.general?  I've seen alot of news unrelated
to Huntsville in this group lately.  I read hsv.general to get news
about events back home, not to read about elections or apartments in
Fairfax, Virginia.  Is someone (or some site) routing articles from

I have 2 Texas Instruments Portable Professional Computers that will 
run
TI's version of MS-DOS v3.3.  Supposedly, there's a program to make
these almost fully XT compatible, but I haven't found it yet. Here's 
the
specs: Each has a 360K drive and formerly had a 20MB hard drive running
also (MFM). All you gotta do is find a half-height MFM drive and 
you've
got a fully functional luggable! These also have built-in color
monitors! THAT'S RIGHT! COLOR! On the minus side, one of the keyboards
is missing a cable and has cosmetic damage.  This is attached to 
one of
the PCs which currently has the boards unhooked (the original owner 
was
going to sell it for li'l pieces parts).  I got an offer for $100 
for
both of these (plus shipping) but I canna find boxes and packing 
to
handle these puppies! So, I'd rather sell them locally to someone 
who is
a)smart enuf to upgrade 'em, or b)just needs a couple of cheap portable

This won't help make up the schemas, etc, but there is an acceptable and quite
cheap dBase III+ ripoff called dBXL, available new for about $25 (last time I
checked) in software discount places in Atlanta (check "High Tech Liquidators",
which is not, contrary to popular opinion, a mob front that uses particle
beam weapons). This will give you the database engine (I would be a little
wary of basing serious professional work on this stuff, but somehow your
description doesn't shout "mission critical" to me...) and you can either
spend a few weeks knocking something together for him, or there may well be
a "guiltware" (i.e. you still don't pay but get to feel guilty every time the
stuff nags you...) app that will run on that engine. Don't know of anything
specific right off, but I ain't exactly a fan of "shareware"...
