I have a suggestion for the software. How about a box that pops up when I'm posting that says something to effect of:
Attention, you've been clicking from thread to thread, and you're about to reply to a topic that has been dead for 3 years, are you sure you want to look like an idiot?
I for one would find it useful.
:)
Are you able to open multiple tabs?
You can open the reply screen in a separate tab and close it after you post. You will still have your place in the old tab, and refreshing it will show your post.
Take all the time you need.
I forgot my pants.
It's spring! I just washed my longjohns!
Oh! You’re in the “stick to your woolies until they stick to you” crowd? Well, that’s different.
I figured I owed you an explanation after offending yer delicate sensibilities like that.
Ahhhh Some things are right in front of your face and if you’ve never used, then you just keep doing things you did when a noob.
Thanks for the comment!
But no, I don’t think very many people seem to notice... even when you point it out, lol...
Yep, [scratch, hawwwkkkk, spit] delicate, my sensibilities haz it. [urp]
I remember being able to see what the “Comment # * * removed by moderator” by clicking on another reply and replacing the number with the one that was removed. Well I’ll say this much, some were really bad.
I admit I haven’t read the thread, so I don’t know WHY Melas was provoked to provide us with this vanity.
However, I will say one thing...don’t mess with old people!
We’ll getcha every time. lol
Check my new tagline for a reference.
Shhhh... Don’t tell the young’uns. Their underestimating us helps a lot too.
I didn’t include Slings because he’s one of “them.” LOL!
You should hereby be assessed a FReepathon fine for posting that pic without warning.
LOL! Yer a funny gal!
I love being misunderestimated. ;o)
Slings is one of “them”?
O M G !!!
;o)
Dang, I should have pinged him before. I don’t think he saw my insult, and I wanted him to. He may be age challenged, but he’s a wise guy, if you get my drift.
;-p
Way to late, so stop me if you’ve heard this one:
Old Dog
One day an old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old German Shepherd thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep doo-doo now!”
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,
“Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?”
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
“Whew!,” says the panther, “That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!”
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”
Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now?,” but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says...
“Where’s that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!”
Moral of this story...
Don’t mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.
Shaddap or I’ll hide yer false teeth.
You wouldn’t dare!
I didn’t know I had false teeth. Last time I looked, my teeth were almost all still there.
Hmmm...
I love it, love it, LOVE IT!
Slings...us old farts will protect you and yours, as long as you young ‘uns don’t dump on us!
BTW, I didn’t know you are a young ‘un...you are mature way beyond your years, and I’m thankful that I know you.
“Moral of this story...
Dont mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.”
One more...don’t be a h8r. lol
How do you do, 21twelve. Nice to meet you.
“Young” is a relative term. That’s my last comment on the subject, LOL!, before I destroy a beautiful friendship, huh Slings? ;-D
