| Dear Turbo, Things have really been hectic around here. My Aunt Valerie has been here from Chicago, and my Aunt Melissa and Uncle Greg, too. It seems my Mom couldn't walk when she woke up about a week ago, and went someplace called a hospital (my Aunt Elaine stayed with us but we sure wondered where Mom was), and was told she had something called a benign brain tumor. The trouble is that it's on an artery by her brain stem and in among a lot of important nerves. My Aunt Valerie is a doctor and has some neurosurgeon friends so she knew who to take Mom to see. And that doctor wants her to see someone called a radiology oncologist to see if they can use that instead of surgery. She's home now, and lots of Mom's friends have been calling constantly, and she's feeling pretty lucky to have so many people who want to drive her places. (But the telephone interrupts our naps.) She's feeling funny, though, because she's on the Pastoral Care Committee at church and now she's the one who's getting the care. She sure isn't comfortable with the role reversal. And her children are taking care of her as if she's a child, too. But she admits that's a high-class problem. She doesn't like to admit it but she's kinda scared. So, Turbo, I sure would appreciate it if you'd put your paws together and ask the Top Dawg to take care of her and heal her. And also help her to keep remembering that everything is in His hands and that He's always with her. Slurps and high paws, Casper |

| Hi, there, Turbo old boy, You and everyone else here must have a lot of influens with the Top Dawg, bekaus mom is getting weller and weller. For a few weeks she was pretty sik from the "radiation" - whatever that is. I've never seen it. She has to go out evry morning to get it. She goes to a place she calls the Starship Enterpriz. And she says she is going to glow in the dark, Won't that be fun to see! Wow! I wonder what kolor she will be. Then she wud come home and sleep all day. We lik that becauz we curl up beside her and keep her company. But now she's like she used to be. She has to keep going to this Starship until the end of the month. (I don't no why humins bother to count days, do u?) Chloe likes sleeping on the couch all day and keepz telling mom to come back there. Chloe is a lazibones. So mom and us thank everybody very, very much for all ther prayers. She sez theyr the best medicine of all.
Yours sincerely, |

Allow me to introduce myself...
I live in the "ol Pueblo" (Tucson) in Arizona. I have pets, a multitude. My house is literally a zoo.
A number of years back, I started playing around with the Web. Then..I got hooked.
The "story" behind the original batfedders is short but long. I've always dreamed of having a Website, I tried to "farm" it out to a number of individuals, but it just didn't work out. So, self thought to self, "If it's going to be, then it's up to me". The initial site was designed with FrontPage using a PC, ...I attempted to modify it with Dreamweaver and a Mac...and....yeeeeech!
In reflecting on the various web-authoring tools that I've attempted to use...while they are "neat" they are quite useless when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of structure (they all add useless code, which when it comes down to it...serves little purpose except for the one who designed the tool). It's kind like having a car. You can buy it, drive it, for "a while" with no problems, and then you are forced to "pay the man" when the stupid thing breaks down and ruh oh, it's not covered by warranty.
Sooo...self says to self...."that's a rather insane way to approach things, using all that "hi tech" junk, especially if you do this for a hobby. The whole purpose, is to have fun, and learn "stuff" and since web-authoring tools are mindless bots that do "stuff" automatically for you, you really don't "lurn" all that much (think of this as knowing how to drive a car), and when you study the source code, it makes little sense, (think of this as opening the hood on the car, and knowing the difference between a sparkplug and a hubcap). (Pointin n Clickin is easy, but it's a tad more difficult when you have to actually write this stuff by hand. So, this "all" is "nuts & bolts" as far as development, relearning as I go).
The foolscape that is currently the background (i.e., the "yellow scratch pad") on some of the pages on the site indicates that this is a work in progress. www.batfedders.com was once a thriving site, then I got stupid....!!!
Please be aware that while I have definite idea's for future additions to the site it is gonna take a while (I have a lot to learn). Now since I've chosen to throw this out on the net so that the whole world (well, that small part of the world that might take an interest...) to see, there is some "splainin" to do.
In most cases where there is the dreaded red "X" it means I've yet to find what I want to put in there.....(either that, or for some reason the link doesn't work. Also, be aware that the navigational linkages are not, as of yet fully integrated, you may have to use your "back" button on your browser at times. Of course, there are a few pages that have absolutely nothing on them, I at this time forgot where I put the material.....(geesh!) or quite simply, I haven't as yet "got rountoit".
