Margaret called me on the phone and invited me to a dinner party. She'd taken a new job, some kind of auditor with the IRS or other agency. It seemed pretty important that she have me tag along, so I tried to be on my best behavior. No question about it, this was a bunch of auditors. In the...

I don't think you should be taxed for your sins; extensive as they are. As to your grammers, that's between you and your maker. Be humble--and gentle with Maas' posts. :o Woofalot

So many edited ones; or so many posts? tubs

Watch it, JPeepS. You are moving down that slippery slope toward reasonableness. Why did you edit Maass' post? Some sort of feral reflex? :D tubs

Yup, for a trouble shooter like your polackiness here, this business is like shooting carp in a barrel. Bob Avocadus mit Gillus

I personally like <i>Carpe Diem</i>. Carp is the fish of the day... Bob Codocarp :D

See. Words is good. Honest words is betterer. Bob Wulkowicz :angel:

Mike, I came in as the 17th or so post in a thread started about RockyJ. Fairly good self-control given my tendency towards the runs. My next post, I think, supported your suggestion of having a place to put these sportin' threads. It, and others like it, get a lot of viewers. I also gave...

None of this acridmoany would exist if JPS would increase his moderator duties to handing out codpieces for strutting around. Nothing more entertaining than watching a bunch of knuckle-draggers in high peacock. :rolleyes: Bob Wulkowicz

Just pissing contests, measured in bytes instead of inches. Nothing more. I'll answer you and Stumper--and anyone interested-- in a different thread. Bob Eulkowicz

There's no bandwith wasted if no one reads the posts. If it was left to you in one of your snitty moments, no one's posts would be saved. I kept the problem letters to my forums in what I called The Zoo. Ask Jabs about it-- It's a shame you can't see value in different things and...

Oh, oh. JPS's been arguing with me for years, and now it turns out he's been doing it all along...:rolleyes: Flattery is the sincerest form of imitation. Bob Wulkowicz

And all this time I thought it was my imagination! Maybe obscure, vague, and riddleculous, but I is a blue collar guy, who escaped by climbing out a window in society when no one was looking. Along the way I discovered the English language, and my ability to change things by writing...

And here I though it got developed by poking at smelly texas things with a stick. Well, hush my puppies and pone my corns..:rolleyes: Bob :heart: felt tanks

So far it's pretty universal and works on most species, up and down whatever range you'd like. (This is not to say I'm offering any magic bullet, just an alternative non-destructive technique that came to mind by seeing trees differently.) If I do a good job, a few days or weeks later the...

Sudden Limb Drop? Why? We still don't understand that... Bob Hefalump PS: My compliments, Mike, on the ADDING LEAVES observation in another thread. That will be a part of the new arboriculture and folks will have to catch up with some of your instincts.

<br> OK? What do I do? If I listen to the arborist, he swears that a wide crotch on a tree is strongest. "Look in the books. They all say that. I'm sure that's the case. I cut out narrow crotches because they're weak."" If I talk to an engineer, he says the more vertical the cantilever, the...

Are you cautioning us about letting old men pull on trees? ;) There's a parallel discussion on free will going on right now. Bob Pullalot and his companion crab...
