I'm Off to See The Gerbil

VG called me last night, which I saw as a good sign that our relationship is improving. We talked for quite a while.

I told Dave that I want to drive out to see him in a couple of weeks - during the weekend. He said it would be nice to have company. I will be staying at one of the local motels, just in case you perverts think that Dave and I are going to be doing the horizontal bop. Although Dave did say something about me wearing something easy to remove. Men. :jerkit:

I want to see what I can do to help him out and maybe get his computer hooked up and get him online. I'm not a Mac user, but I guess I can figure it out. And if Dave is missing any cables, I'll see if there is a computer store who will have the necessary parts.

Dave still has a lot of things in boxes and maybe I can find places to store stuff, under his supervision. I don't want to put stuff where he can't find it if he needs it.

We talked about books, etc. and reading. Dave can't see real well right now for reading, so books and magazines can't occupy his time right now.

I will be driving my truck to Pahrump and bringing my vacuum and cleaning supplies just in case I need to help clean his place. And if Dave needs to go anywhere, I can take him.

I'll have a better idea of how Dave is doing when I see him in person.

Judy, if he starts dry humping your leg just smack him on the snout with a rolled up newspaper. I would suggest stopping at a sporting goods store and getting some shin guards, it will be money well spent.

All kidding aside I think what you're doing is great. I hope all the parts are there for his Mac and that we can him back online ASAP. I think once he's back that will be the best medicine he can get.

Hey Judy you look good in Gold!

I do look good in Gold, don't I? :D

I have had plenty of experience with the Gerbil humping my leg here in the forums and in the chat room. Do we still even have the chat room? I'm just gonna take some Gerbil biscuits, say, "Down boy, NO!" and give him a biscuit when he behaves himself. Positive Gerbil Reinforcement. It should work. If it doesn't, I'll just jerk his cane out from under him, he'll fall on the floor, and I'll sit and laugh at him as he tries to dial 9-1-1 to get someone to help him up off the floor.

Actually, Dave and I did talk about getting him online again when I get out there, and he is looking forward to getting back here in the forums. I think it would really boost his spirits if he could be reinstated to Moderator status here in Community, but that is not my call. Once he starts posting again and is active, that could possibly be something Spark could consider.

We also talked about getting the Dragon Naturally Speaking software, but Dave and I both agreed that it is often easier to get your point across in writing and you can take the time to make sure you have said what you want to say - versus verbalizing the same train of thought. Two entirely different ways of communicating. Dave feels more comfortable typing his posts and I understand completely how he feels.

Since I have never met Dave in person, this should be an interesting trip to Pahrump!

I don't know about community, but Coug and I have W&C open for him (if it is OK'ed) and we'll find other places for him to help out.

Tell him Gus said hello and don't forget to blow the goat hairs out of his monitor.

If you make it over to VG's anywhere around Halloween, his looks shouldn't scare you too much, but if it's after Halloween, just remember not to scream & pass out when you finally meet him...If you do, I'm pretty sure that you'll wake up with Dave humping your leg.:D.:D.
 
Yeah, W&C really needs the Gerbil back! Brain shrinkage won't be any handicap there. :D
 
Totally Judy Totally rocks, you remind that the world is not full of evil rotten people.

Smoke and prayers to ya.:thumbup:
 
Pharump should have what you need for computer supplies Judy. It is one of the fastest growing comunities in Nevada. Tell Dave I said Hi.

Yes Judy, we still have a Chat room, it doesn't get the traffic it once did, but it's still alive. Here's a thread I started a few months ago.

Forget that Dragon speaking softwear, it's PC only not for Mac. Besides VG's Mac can already talk to him, and do several voice commands. What it can't do is to type what he speaks. I'm not even sure Dragon does that. I think as long as Dave has one good hand and he doesn't mind not using caps, we'll all be more than glad to read what he posts.
 
Good on you Judy. Dave called me last night after he talked to you and told me how much he appreciates your calls. Thanks again for caring for a friend.

Yeah..... well I'm beginning to wonder what monster I have resurrected! I got home from work tonight and there was a voicemail message from the Gerbilmeister. He was attempting to impersonate an Operator with a collect call from Poland, and then Dave tried to say that he was a Polish obscene phone caller wanting to know what HE was wearing. Only the Gerbil..... It was pretty funny, and he kept screwing up his message.

But the good news is that he said HE WAS HAPPY. And he let me know that he had gotten his new supply of meds today. No Shit. :D

I called him back but he didn't answer. He did mention he might go out for a while but to leave a message.

I think it has been good for Dave to have someone to talk to on a regular basis. Nobody's mind should just be unstimulated - especially a sick mind like the Gerbil's! For those of you who know Dave and would like to help out in another way - get his phone number and give him a holler. He is very much a social person and it is good for his shrinking brain to make it think. Some physical therapy for the brain. We need to ease him back into the mainstream and one good way to do this is to help him exercise his mind - he loves to be witty and it comes so naturally to him. He just needs a vehicle to play it against.

I will be sure to pass on the good words to him when I get to Pahrump.

Thanks for that info on the computer supplies. I was thinking I might have to throw Dave in my truck, along with his computer, and drive all the way into Las Vegas. I am so very determined to get his computer up and running and get him hooked up to the internet.

I'll be going to visit Dave the weekend of the 21st, if I haven't already said which weekend. Assuming Dave doesn't have other plans!

p.s. Art - did I win the knife yet?
 
Just got off the phone with the Giant Gerbil. We are going to have a busy and active weekend when I get there. I think we're going to go shoot sem-automatic weapons; we're going to a cathouse to buy souveniers (sp?); we're going out to dinner; I'm going to clean his apartment; I'm going to get his computer set up and online; and we will find other things to do that will get us into trouble.

I might require reinforcements!!!!!

Judy
 
Damn, i'm jealous....except for the cleaning.




seriously, meeting V.G. will be a treat.
 
Does anybody else have a vision of Totally Judy wearing ruby red slippers, skipping merrily down a yellow-brick road whilst singing "I'm off to see the Gerbil, the wonderful Gerbil of Odd"?:D

Uncle Alan,

Do you want the picture with the "airy" legs or the "nairy" legs?
