What I wish for on this forum

I hope that readers will distinguish between posts that are requesting information that is necessary to get on with things and those outlandish ones which invite sniping. I remember when: (on that other forum) 1) I wanted to buy a gas fueled oven and received a thesis on why I should use electricity...

Re: Those Living Cheaply Under a Grand

I will answer with a fuller biography when my computer has more battery time. But essentially what I like about my neighbors is how resilient they are. They don't worry if they will have a new lexus next year or if they will have the latest ipad. They worry if it will rain enough so that they can fe...

Re: Those Living Cheaply Under a Grand

Re: Uh oh

Hotdigre, you're defending someone I never attacked. In fact I agree with your assessment of jm. My reasons for not wanting to go there are clear enough.

I know from my past these are feelings that do not mix well with alchohol. I prefer to imbibe for...

Re: Uh oh

For the record I was the op of the thread in question. I don't know how anyone else saw it, but I sure didn't. I then received an email instructing me to not write about ANY OTHER(caps mine)forums on 440. Of course I wrote an email back stating in essence that although we really didn't care for each...

Re: New Section Suggestions?
