OP Don Gaynor Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 8,987 Oklahoma, USA	I don't want to change my dancing chicken avatar - I've had that in various iterations for a lot of years - but some very brave and reckless folks have asked for my picture. This was taken at a BBQ party in April 2012 in the courtyard of my Nursing Home. The device mounted in front of me is my DynaVox Maestro speech synthesis device. It is a full blown Win 7/32 computer with WIFI and Bluetooth capabilities so I can relax in the gazebo (off camera to the left) and follow the action on PG Music forums. Add the fact that I have about a dozen beautiful nurses and loving aides (and two ugly ones) trying to spoil me rotten, you have an idea of my humble existence.

I don't know where I'd be without the VA. They may be slow but they believe in top gear for us vets. When something is labeled "medical" the price goes up tenfold. Addendumb: Please notice that teeth are optional attire here. That seems to apply for all of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas as well. Last edited by Don Gaynor; 05/09/13 11:08 AM.

PS – we can’t do enough for our veterans IMHO. Last edited by MarioD; 05/09/13 06:05 PM. OK, a random thought; Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it? 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I was Vietnam Era but spent five years (of nine total) liberating the gasthauses (guesthouses, pubs, and bars) in Germany. Incidentally, thank you sincerely for your voicemail message yesterday. That was so encouraging. I'll probably save it until you become rich and famous. I'll be able to say: "Josie Beck? Yeah, I knew her when!" And I will be soooo proud.

You just need slicks and some moonshine to haul, and you'd fit right in with the NC crowd! Regarding the teeth... at first glance, I thought it must be full moon. The look on your face says "I vant to biiite yourrr neck..." Hey, pretty nurses... whatever works, right? Anyway, it's good to add a face to your name. Maybe the VA can buy you one of these and teach it to dance like a chicken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNPuHOw28wo https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0
