    According to the DNS registration, End Of The Line BBS started a year ago today. A big thanks for all those who have helped me along the way,
    especially DigitalMan, for obviously reasons, Deuce for his contributions, echicken for that great nodelist viewer I rave about and other stuff :) and Nightfox (not sure if he reads these forums) for his DD additions. It's been
    a journey and a learning curve, and I've still more to learn...looking forward to being at the end of the line for another year, at least :)

    Congratulations for a year of running your BBS! I have seen a BBS go up for a few weeks and then go down afterwards. A full year is a milestone, IMO.

    I thought about running my own BBS a couple of times, but I don't have the time nor the hardware and money to do it.

    Jag, just get a $35 Raspberry PI and dload the image I made.
    the Image can be dloaded from my webpage outwestbbs.com It has both Mystic and Synchronet pre installed and you can run either package or both at the same time on a PI.
    I even made text instructions and placed them on the desktop:) ftp://outwestbbs.com/raspberry.pi.re/RASPBERR/00index.html

    I have the Raspberry Pi (along with a VESA mount case, 64GB SD card, and a power supply) on my Amazon list, "Save for Later". My plan was to make a custom "AIO" computer to run QEMU and FreeDOS.

    On Wednesy, after I got back home from Pigeon Forge, TN, I spent time getting the Lenovo laptop where the case was broken, and got out my old 4:3 LCD monitor and got FreeDOS installed on it. It'll do for now, if I am ever able to save up for the Raspberry Pi.

    If you are careful, it's quite possible to do it; at least in the United States. I can get get 5 days worth of lunch for between US$10-US20, but that's having the same thing all five days.

    I am not sure about other countries, though.

    I am the same way: it's lunch, who cares? Eating is a chore to me at times, I hardly get any pleasure out of it.

    However, I will admit: I wish I can get something from one of the resturants near where I work, but it costs at least US$11 to get a full meal! And that's just going to Subway down the street!

    I've heard of ways to get by very cheap, maybe on less money than that, but it involves buying things to eat like hot dogs, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, etc., which are probably not good for you if you eat them all the time.

    Don't you ever feel hungry though? Eating is supposed to be satisfying, since it takes care of your hunger and replenishes your energy.

    However, I will admit: I wish I can get something from one of the resturants near where I work, but it costs at least US$11 to get a full meal! And that's just going to Subway down the street!

    I often don't get the full meal at SubWay. Usually a sandwich is enough to satisfy me there, and I think even their foot long subs cost up to around $6 or $7 these days (around here, at least).

    I've found that a meal at many restaurants does tend to cost around $10 to $12 or more though. Restaurants tend to serve fairly large portions in the US though, so for me, I've found that I can stretch restaurant servings into 2 meals. So if I'm having dinner, I'll have about half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. At $12 (for example), that's about $6 per meal.

    Don't you ever feel hungry though? Eating is supposed to be satisfying, sin it takes care of your hunger and replenishes your energy.

    I do for lunch, but not for dinner. For some odd reason, I feel sick at the end of the day. Then, I'll eat dinner just to feel better; however, some days,
    I have to force myself to eat. That's where the discomort is coming from.

    However, I will admit: I wish I can get something from one of the resturants near where I work, but it costs at least US$11 to get a full meal! And that's just going to Subway down the street!

    That's the only way that I can get it below US$11 here. I would order a foot long sub, and it'll be enough for lunch. Since I drink only water through out the day, I don't get drinks there.

    if it keeps you alive, it's good for you.

    People have done that food stamp challenge - eat for a week (or more) on
    what the SNAP program provides. There's an interesting guy on YouTube
    called Brother Green Eats who ate for a week for $21.00. You need to be careful, and you need to COOK.

    Eggs for protein. Dried beans. Dried split peas. Vegetables. Minimal meat,
    like we should be doing anyway. Skip the chicken breasts, go for thighs. Potatoes. Carrots. Make a lunch and bring it with you.

    I just get tuna salad packets, chips or rice cakes, granola bars or
    fruit bars, and oatmeal for breakfast. It is getting old and I would
    like to switch it up at times.

    I did a mono diet - for 2 weeks, ate only potatoes, and didn't eat at mealtimes, instead eating only when you're hungry. It broke me of the
    habitual eating I used to do (It's 10:30, time for a coffee and pastry...
    it's 12:00, must lunch...)

    I gained a new appreciation for potatoes. My morning breakfast now is to
    take a small potato, zap it for 3 minutes, then slice it, put it in a pan
    with some spices to brown it. Toss in some spinach and fry an egg over
    medium. Top with habanero sauce. Takes about as long as non-instant
    oatmeal.

    Should be around $2.50. Less if you don't buy bagged spinach.

    I've heard of ways to get by very cheap, maybe on less money than that, b it involves buying things to eat like hot dogs, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, etc., which are probably not good for you if you eat them all the time.

    People have done that food stamp challenge - eat for a week (or more) on what the SNAP program provides. There's an interesting guy on YouTube
    called Brother Green Eats who ate for a week for $21.00. You need to be careful, and you need to COOK.

    Hmmm... I wonder if is something I can convience my wife into trying. I should look this person up and see how it's done.
