Wow, no one has ever called me "sizzlin'" before, you're so nice! Thanks, Vinny! That's only because I turn my praise down out of deference to my status. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Yesw, Sunshine, I have received enough contributions to cover the tent and couches. If anyone still wants to contribute, the Paypal donation still works; any contributions received at this time will be used for additional features for the tent if needed or I may just abscond to the better beer bars with it, depending on my mood. Thanks to all who made it much easier on me this year, esp. a certain uber-geek moderator from CA. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

I do try to use proper grammar and usage, but it's not due to any grammar police or Ms. 'Cakes. I simply want to use these because that is the way I was taught; one's command of his or her language and its use is a reflection of the value one puts into that language. It is fun at times to write in dialect or slang, especially on a fun thread, but I believe if a person wants to be taken seriously that person should write properly. That doesn't mean I go over everything with a fine toothed comb or that I agonize over every sentence's structure to polish my prose. It does mean I try to write to the standards I was taught and it does irritate me when I later see a mistake that I didn't catch. Yes, I did consider majoring in English, but was deterred by the thought of teaching a herd of teenaged nerds like me. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Our congratulations to AndyMan and our Best Wishes to you! For those who try to read something sinister into the comments above, there is nothing there but the proper way to express one's thrill and elation at such news.

Lew, Part of me screams Noooo! because I have this thing for long hair, but Lynn and I agree that if you're going to get it cut, go with the 10" for Locks of Love. We see that as a win/win situation. Like Kris said, your hair rocks but that isn't what makes you cool. You do. By donating to Locks of Love you will do something that will make someone else real happy and that's good karma; besides, your hair will still be pretty long and look nice.

Maybe you could find a jeweler who will take it and sell it for you on consignment? It would cost you 10-15% of what it sells for, but you should be able to negotiate a bottom price you will accept. That could be a win-win-win solution; you get cash, he gets cash without laying out for inventory and someone gets a nice ring at a good price.

It can come with complacency. If you expect all is okay, that may be what you "see". Those of you who have jumped with TLML and me may have observed that we give each other gear checks before every jump. A couple months ago, I noticed that I had misrouted my chest strap and made a mental note to correct it; as Lynn was standing before me waiting for me to check her gear, I decided to leave it for the moment. I checked her gear out and gave her the ok then waited for her to check me. She did her usual chacks then slapped my container to indicate all was fine. At this point I turned back to face her and pulled my chest strap off. She was suitably chagrined. We discussed this a bit and she gave me another check after I properly routed the chest strap. Bottom line, don't just look, LOOK! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

No, no, "Pet Semetary"! "Got something for you Mommy! Got something for you!"

That's true, and it seems likely it is generalized CB crud. If, however, the local HAM can localize the source to one rogue base unit at the neighbor's or something, the FCC can and will step in and throttle it. Or the threat of taking it to the FCC by the HAM may be sufficient -- heck, he may not even have to act tough, I once had a guy with a hotted up mobile stop using it near my place when I casually mentioned I could hear him over my surround speakers; those long wire runs make great antennae.

Please don't take this as a flame, but also please read the forum rules (there is a link at the top of this page); there aren't that many, but one of them is to search a subject before asking a question like this. I just did a quick search using your thread topic as the search item and came up with 296 posts just in this forum. If you read all these and still have questions, please come back to this thread and ask them; you will have a better idea of the subject and will be able to ask more specific and targeted questions. We will all win that way. Welcome to the sport and to the forums; may your sojourn in both be long and pleasant. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

I am not aggravated, just trying to explain. I'm sorry if I didn't succeed with you. To put it simply, he was rude and threatening; rudeness can be explained and sometimes even be acceptable, threatening is just plain wrong. The point I was tryin to make at the end of my last post was that since he started the whole kefuffle with his post, he should acknowledge that he should be the one to make amends, not those he offended. Maybe I hadn't given my coffee time to work before I made that post and was unclear... FYI, there are those at wreck daht who belittle dropzone.com for our "feel good" ways because we insist on people being civil to one another; post something similar to the initial post in this thread over there and see what the reaction is. This just caused a minor disturbance in The Force; you don't want to see the sort of shitstorm it would cause there. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

No, but you stated you believed it came from a site member, and included a threat against him/her. Yet in your first post you threatened the well-being of a site member. If it is not your first computer, you should have a better idea of what viruses are and how they are actually propagated. You here have shown the information sent you by your postmaster that a virus was sent to you from someone with a specious title and you used that as the basis of your accusations? Who are you going to blame when (and it is a matter of when, not if) you get one that has headrs showing it came from you? Or your SO or your parents? Are you going to go off on them and threaten their coputer or their person? Was you first post in any way civil? I hope he explains to you that you were barking up the wrong tree. Just for your information, the moderator you refer to, if you sent it to the moderator of the forum, is none other than the site owner. Such peacemaking efforts should in all rightness begin with your apology to Sangiro, the site owner, for the accusations (not so-called, you made accusations and threats); secondly you should apologixe to the community in general for your not so veiled threat. Perhaps you should also read the FAQs and forum rules to learn what is acceptable behaviour here. Treat us with respect, you will be treated with the same. We will be happy to have you join us. Just listen to your instructor(s) and don't act like you know anything because you read it here or anywhere else on the internet. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.
