Proof reading is over rated

[Krip 2]

Hi

Got a police report from a incident that occured while trying to clean out 80 yrs of stuff.

First time my wife is a women

Second time my wife is a dude

Third time my wife is the step daughter of the injured party.

Only one of the three is correct.

After going thru 80 yrs of crap. I'm determined to downsize, and have made significant progress. If we had a visiter in our house and it stayed in the same spot for three minutes.

They might find themselves in good will, the trash or the wood burning stove.

Not my fault for all I knew you could have been dead.

Would that be "proof that reading is overrated" or "proofreading is overrated"?

Doh!

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

So what you're saying is the police think you're a bisexual polygamist?

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

[davjohns 1]

So there is no confusion...

My post was merely meant to amuse. There was no intent to insult Krip. I do not intentionally insult people. I do, however, sometimes forget others can be offended by my humor.

I apologize to Krip.

Considering that Krip is making us guess if his wife is:

A - a woman

B - a man

C - a stepdaughter

AND is threatening to throw stationary visitors in either the trash or the fire...

I don't think you need to apologize for making an obscure joke.

I think Krip has a pretty offbeat sense of humor (and that's a good thing IMO).

I know Krip pretty well. He's in the midst of cleaning up the estate of a spouse's parent. His advice. . . get rid of all your junk now. Don't make your kids have to do it.

Old police reports?? That is one item my kids will not be sorting thru. And I've thrown out my old report cards, tax returns, etc. I do hope to leave them a nice collection of shootin' irons, though.

In the future, it won't be "here's all the family photo albums, all 100 pounds of them." It'll be "here's Dad's hard drive. Wanna check for any good files before we erase it?"

Sorry, I love them all too much.
But I'll keep you in mind if I downsize the safe.

My brother and I are going to have fun sorting through my dad's junk when he goes. Could be later this year or as much as 4-5 years later. A full basement worth of junk, plus the formal living room where less than 10% of the floor is clear for stepping over piles of magazines and other shit.

You got NUTHIN' Billy.

Try a 4000 sqft 6 bedroom house plus basement - that looks like an episode of hoarders!

It's been almost two years since my mom passed - sis & I are only halfway through it...TWO roll-off dumpsters full so far, heading up in a couple weeks to fill another.

The folks had several business over the years starting with a big jewelry store back when I was born & they moved into that house...kept every record.

Being depression era kids...they tended to stock up on stuff, if having one of something is a good idea - then having 5 is a GREAT idea! Everything from flashlights to craftsman tool sets never opened to police scanners.

Weird!

I had those kind of parents too.
Time for a massive garage sale. As I downsize, about a third is going to charity or friends, about a third to the dump. First aid kits? One for each car and bathroom. Trying to get it down to "one in the house". Flashlights, pliers, hammers and beer glasses. How did I get so many?

I'll tellin' ya...

Capt. Mom's father passed a couple months ago so I grabbed the stuff I had in storage in San Diego then went to L.A. for the things she wanted from his place.

5 or 6 pick-ups loads from my mom's SO FAR...this place is fillin' up fast! lol Good thing the kids are gone!

I'm doing what Krip is...sorting and throwing, donating and setting aside for a fire sale later.

But DAMN! ...we sure accumulate a lotta 'stuff!

Bad thing is, more than half the shit in my parents' basement is from my dad's mom's house when we moved her out of there and into a nursing home way back in the mid 80's. A lot of it has sat there ever since. I did get 3 of the antique dressers and a day bed frame that are all over 150 years old, all mahogany! Those are worth keeping.

Yeah I got that a couple times from you and I am sorry if I ever offended you. Heated conversations at Dizzy can and are often misconstrued.

Forgot to mention that my dad has every goddamn issue of Playboy since day one, many of the older ones on shelves and boxes in the basement, and newer magazines all over the living room and bedroom. That's going to be interesting.

Good luck with that Playboy thing...a few select issues are valuable, especially #1 and the first few years...but you'll probably do what I did and pitch most of them.

For over ten years they somehow screwed up my subscription...I always got TWO in the mail...so one got sticky, and left the other in the brown paper wrapper -then plastic...brand NEW & not worth anything.

I did get a Crisp 50.00 for a 'new' Hustler...I didn't think THAT mag would be around long so a bought every issue the first year & kept them wrapped... Issue #1 is all I could get rid off.

~~25.00*for the issue back in the 70's that 'exposed' the then new 'gay blood disease'...they were pretty nasty about it - which came back on Larry when AIDS took his wife years later.

*dOOd in L.A. bought it, framed it and put a 150.00 price tag on it while I was standing there.

Didn't want to even talk about playboys...other than those few (which I didn't have) - worthless.


Reminds me of a good buddy out on the left coast...Baseball Cards - Gonna retire by 40 on the 'investment'.

I bet he spent 50-100 buck every week on Baseball Cards & Beatle Cards back in the late 80's early 90's...he did have a few worth some bucks, but that's a pretty weak investment - not recession proof OR fire proof!

A co-worker in the '90's was buying up Beanie Babies as an investment.
Wonder how that worked out.
Maybe I should dig up his email address and ask.

Yeah, I had no qualms about the Playboy mags being worth anything, maybe the first year issues if they are in good enough shape, but those are probably on the shelf under an inch of dust.

I bought a bunch of baseball and football cards in a short time frame back in the late 80's and stuffed them all in a box. Over the years, I've found that only 2 or 3 of them are probably going to be worth anything now. My best card is the Derrick Thomas one. He was probably Alabama's best linebacker ever, and still holds the single season NCAA record of 27 sacks in one season, and also holds the NFL record with 7 sacks in ONE GAME. And... he's dead too.

We'd gotten the girls a Barbie doll and horse combo for Christmas. They played with it for a while and the tail broke off the horse recently. Then the grandparents came for a visit and guess what? They gave the girls the exact same thing! THAT one is up on the top shelf in our closet in the original box. Who knows, maybe it'll be worth something 20-30 years later.

I'm lost. Have I managed to offend you on the forum as well? I really do not insult anyone intentionally. Never have.

So what you're saying is the police think you're a bisexual polygamist?

I don't really care what the police think. Or your inappropriate wisecracks.

I didn't go whine to a mod about your post, I handled it my self with a PM to you just like I did to David Johns., I havent opened your two PMs or David why should I ?

FWIW My one and only wife and I will celebrate our 39th wedding this satuday. When your into a relationship that long and deep I know exactly who and what I'm married to.
39 years is no big deal, as long as there is mutual respect and trust.

Some peeps at the dzs were that I allowed my wife over the years to pack my rigs, both round and square mains for me, without direct supervision. Or the benefit of a cypress or a sentinel.

My Sabre one no way, I don't have any unrealistic expectations, a really bad slammer, could have incapacitated me enough that I may not have been able to use my reserve.

If you can't trust your wife with your life, whats the point of being married? My reserve was packed by a rigger or my pencil.

I had enough confidence in my ability to use my reserve either using the cutaway system when we were jumping the belly warts or the present SPR designed by Mr. Booth, that I would be able to save my own butt. Without a mechanical backup.

Man up stop being a bully, taking cheap shots, and use DZ.com for postive vibes regardless of gender.

Thank you David, trust me I appreciate that.

The power of a PM, man to man, belly to belly is a amazing thing isn't it I haven't read your two PM's or will send a copy of my original PM to anyone else.

You've written before about posting online, and thinking before you push the send button. Walk the walk if you want to.

Don't worry it was a PM, trust me it was between us and will stay that way. It could have been a lot worse Just like I responded to the Flying R, I never opened your two PMs.

I've read some of your posts, about thinking before you push the send button on the net. Walk the walk if you want to. This is a public forum and we need to keep the positive vibes. With or without the mods, we're adults and need to act like appropriately.
