40 post away from 9000, it's time to play, ask me anything...
As long as it has nothing to do with "you know who" and "you know who".

I'm sick of hearing about them.

Excellent choice. Not nutritiously balanced, but good nonetheless!

26. I remember to this day...
the bright red Georgia clay,
how it stuck to the tires after the summer rain . . .
Will-power made that ol' car go,
a woman's mind told me that it's so,
Oh! how I wish we were back on the road again . . .

Me an' you an' a dog named Boo,
travelin' and livin' off the land . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named Boo,
How I loved bein' a free man . . .

I can still recall,
the wheat fields of St. Paul,
and the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen . . .
Old MacDonald, he made us work,
but then he paid us for what it was worth,
another tank of gas an' back on the road again . . .

< repeat chorus >

Well, I'll never forget that day,
we motored stately into Big L.A.
the lights of the city put settling-down in my brain . . .
Though it's only a month or so,
that ol' car is a buggin' us to go,
you gotta get away,
get back on the road again . . .

< repeat chorus >

8. Congratulations
I feel so dumb asking this question.
How do you start a thread? I have never started one because I never figured out how and I've been here about seven months.
Feel free to give me a dope slap. Sometimes I feel like giving one to myself.

15. Alright, serious answer
Edited on Tue May-03-05 06:12 PM by Longgrain
Click the icon at the top of your screen (where all the other icons are lined up) that says "post". It's between "surch" and "poll"

You'll be given a form just like you do when you reply to another persons thread.

Hope that helps. :hi:

to your questions.

I'm still wondering who shot J.R.

But I got so caught up in Cuban-paddy mania I forgot.

27. Congrats.
My Question: Since you registered....how many posts a day?
:bounce:

Congratulations on being a fast typist. :applause:



By the time my fingers get to the keyboard my thoughts have already been expressed in several different posts.




I should be in the 700 club for another few weeks, at least. Hahaha.

28. I'm not exactly sure how many posts I've made per day...
Some days I only make five or six, other days as many as fifty...

There were two weeks after the election I didn't post at all, and another week when my computer was infected with virus's that I barely made twenty posts.

Then of course there was that day I escaped the 700 club in less than 24 hours.

It depends on how I'm feeling I suppose.

30. The Sago Palm, but it technically it isn't a tree...
Cypresses are beautiful, tho being from New England I could always stand by a classic pine.

But my favorite tree was the apple tree that grew in my back yard as a kid. I still have very fond memories of that tree.

Out in Brookline MA, that had a lot of strange trees, branches at right angles and all.

You're making me want to visit there some day soon.

34. You'll need either a personal web space
Edited on Tue May-03-05 07:37 PM by Longgrain
Or a free server account, such as Photobucket.com. They'll explain to you how to do it...

After that, it's simply a mater or copying and pasting the URL.

It takes a while to figure out, but once you get used to it, you'll find it's easy.

I can draw better than that on one of my low days!

It looks like some comic book hack from th 40's hasn't given up yet.

Besides there's a huge difference between art and manipulation.

44. Yes, Anthony is my middle name...
For some reason, when I was a kid, and my mother was angry with me, she used to call me "Mister Anthony"...

Then I'd go hide in the apple tree in my backyard.
