jraf 0 #1202 October 28, 2002 Hey Ferdi, sorry for not replying earlier, but I went out to run a 5K this morning and reflected after 15K. Some physical activity is needed as skydiving (or rather post skydiving activities) have taken their toll on my external appearances.I post quite often as I currently am enjoying life in a period of extended vacation. Probably when I get a job it will have to cut back. As far as I am concerned most of the people who post most here either are computer people or have government jobs. Look at Erno - his main job is posting here(sorry Erno) jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #1204 October 29, 2002 Hey, hon, now don't badmouth the employment system here. I work every day that rolls around teaching young minds what life is all about. Unfortunately for the past two weeks we have been doing it in a computer lab where all I have to do is hang out with you all. All that will change next week as we begin a new grading period so I'll have to get some written work from these jokers at least the first couple of weeks. Then we'll be back for computer based learning for a few more weeks. See a cycle??? BTW...the coffee is free but nasty so I bring my own and brew it in my room. Nothing in life is free. . -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the government wants to pay me for PWing at DZ com, who am I to argue?Now listen up people: A lot of people(including Sangiro!) have been taking the NA thing completely wrong. Even though we have meant no ill will towards our colonial brothers and sisters, some have obviously taken this thread the wrong way. Could we let this thread die already and move on to the new one?

CanuckInUSA 0 #1207 October 29, 2002 "Good Morning" right back at ya, except that instead of waking up and looking for a cup of joe, I need to be thinking of going to bed. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,121 #1208 October 29, 2002 I usually have about the thinnest skin around, and I can't understand why people would take this thread wrong. Really. It's polite, mostly well-written, and a lot easier to read as a whole than a bunch of 6-post threads would be. Wendy W.

Nah!!!!! If they take the time to read they can figure it out for themselves. The original idea was a good one and has worked well. If the Americans are too sensitive about it then "shrug" Anyway coffee time......and ciggie time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluefingers 0 #1210 October 29, 2002 With you there. I tried to make a point yesterday, but to my horror found that I was getting tense. So I went for a ciggie and forgot about it. Anyway, it never was an issue, until someone started the American thread and turned it into some kind of competition Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
