Hiya Duffy,

You might want to check out that site as the answers to many of your
questions could be found there. Here is the url:

Verb

Yep, especially when I am looking for a new game. I loved lemmings (a
very old pc game), all versions. Was a Doom and Duke Nukem guru. Still
love those games.

It is not like I have time for games but do still play when I can make
some time, want to kill some time or have so much to do, I don't know
where to start so spend some of that time playing games.

Yep, I still feel like big kid plenty of the time...

Verb

So far, I have only been adding people to my friends list, the ones I
WANT to know or knew before I came here.

I am too new to want to kick anyone off my friends list yet! lol

I am sure I will get to that point at some time but for now, I am adding
only!

Verb

"I Love Animals, They're Delicious."

I have that one on my vehicle. Got it at a Ted Nugent concert last year
and of course in very small print across the bottom his ad for "Sunrise
Safari's".

I want the one that mrsart4all mentioned:

"Keep Honking. I'm Reloading."

It would be go along good with the one I have... lol

Verb

I live in Kansas, always wear my seat belt and make sure everyone in my
vehicle wears one too.

In Kansas there is no fine for children but 14+ in a front seat with no
seat belt on: the fine is $10.00.

We seem to get off pretty cheap here. I had no idea, I had to look it
up.

Hiya Kojack! I guess I should have waited for you to answer, oopppss,
sorry dude. I just jump in with both my big fat feet and my mouth comes
with them... yeesh!



Being a geek pays off every now and then, although I am on the low end
of geekdom, plenty here are much smarter than I, it is a good disguise
huh? LOL.



Verb

lol nascarcutey! I did not really come out on top but did make through
the day. Barely...

Verb

Hi Everyone,

Cool! I have been wondering about that since I read this post. I just
tried it and WOW a lot of pages came up. A whole lot...

Because I live in a small town outside the largest city in my state
(Kansas) I think I like the "state" link at the bottom of the page
because:

1) My town is small and there are only fours members from here and all
younger women except one member.

2) If I go to my profile and click on the state I get folks from every
where all over the state, 25+ pages of folks to look through and have to
pick through the ages and locations.

3) By using the state link at the bottom I can choose other towns within
my state that are close by around mine and come up with many more people
to choose from in my age range that are closer in proximity than looking
through the whole states worth of listings.

SO there are plenty of options other than the search capability to find
partners/friends for a variety of reasons/activities.

I love it that there are lots of options for searching and it is
surprising the different results from each you can get. Great job Mike
and VC!

Verb

Thank YOU FedMan. Great explanation, easy to absorb.



"Gas is going up. haven't u herd? Personally, I herd sheep."
LOL Duffy!



Verb

Nawww Tiger, I forgot, are you jewish?

Verb

Tiger, you go dude! Love it. Wishful thinking eh? That is probably
what we all wish for. *sigh*

Thank you for the lovely poem. Someday your princess will come.

Have a great day,

Verb

A "bot" is a robotic program that scans text for certain words or
phrases. Many sites use robots to peruse the comments instead of a
person actually laying eyes on the text to see what is going on between
members.

Mike and VC use their own eyes and brains to decide what is acceptable
and what is not and do not use "bots" to do that work for them.

SEE?

Verb

OMG. I know EXACTLY how she feels as that just, in the past few months
happened to me at another site. I did quit going there, finally. It
was a different place though, they did not pay attention to the members
reports and when they did, they were as rude as the stalker! It was
quite terrible, plus my stalker followed me all over the internet,
putting comments into other sites just for MOI. I think it is over now
as that stalker just wanted me OFF that site more than anything else.
He/She got their way. I go back to look every now and then and wonder
how I tolerated all the abusive behavior there for so long. It was
stupid of me and worse yet, it is still happening there.

Mike and VC have a different type of management rules here so that makes
all the difference in the world! I am thrilled to BE HERE and have made
many new friends. A lot of my friends from that (stinker) site have
come here with me, 5 so far and and I think two more are on their way
here. WooHoo!

I am sure she will be back and if she has reported the abuse, Mike and
VC will take care of it!

Verb

marilyn! I am so glad you know I was kidding. I really did have a mammo
though just as I said. But the memory is still too VIVID!

Yeesh!


Verb

OK! Got firefox running now. I have not clue, as usual. It was not
working yesterday but IS today. Another gremlin issue I guess.

OH, I know, I turned off the windows firewall again. It keeps getting
turned on when I am doing something ELSE and I guess I keep doing it.
LOL

My internet connection was down this morning and had to THINK too hard
to get the network back up. I took 1 1/2 cups of coffee and squinting
my eyes at the modem to get it to work too. That worked though...

Sheesh.

Verb

WELCOME reselit!
I hope you find what you are looking for.
Post a lot, hang out a bit and have fun.

Verb

I have had my head in the sand on this one for a long time as I don't
know what my opinion is. Yep, you read that right.

I see both sides of this argument and have not been able to form a solid
basis for a lasting opinion. I agree with the military as to what
constitutes "a fine well oiled machine" and agree that all should have
the freedom to be who they are.

It is a quagmire for me and I have a hard time with grey areas. If a
greay area exists, forming an opinion takes me a lot longer as that line
is too blurred. I am not a leftist liberal, far from it, but this issue
has had me confounded for some time.

No opinion truly formed here.

Verb

uh oh, lost you barstow. Would love to hear the rest of that thought
though...

?

Thank You! Great info. I know zip about Linux but learning new things
is all we have to look forward to, right? LOL

I will get right on that Linux CD offer. Less than $10.00? sheesh.
What a drop in the bucket compared to the prices of other software out
there. I jumped from win98 to XP in a big leap a few years ago when I
bought my newest machine that I am using (mostly) now. I spent zero
time trying to learn XP because as soon as you learn a new system, BINGO
a newer one comes out. I am sick of that, too. (would you like some
cheese with that whine?)

Learning Linux will be a step forward, in my book. I know that is
probably not the usual answer from Windows users but as message knows, I
stumble around in XP all the time. I have no desire to be a guru on XP.
I guess I have set up a dozen systems (or so) on XP and have for some
years concentrated on learning other things (that could put a few bucks
in my pocket) instead of even the basics on XP. I know what I have to
know to GET BY! LOL When you get older you have to think harder too to
resolve things.

This morning my network here was down, all I needed to do was re-enable
the connection, but fumbled around a while THINKING about what went
wrong while I was sleeping last night (not enough sleep either).
Gremlins, I guess. ?

OK, off to other subjects for a bit, more coffee and the morning cache
of pills to down. Gotta get breakfast over and done with too.

Back in a bit. You guys have a great morning.

Verb

Delaware?

I cheated though.
