Ok, I was away from my computer for about 24 hours.... remember the deadline I mentioned in the "Bad Thread"? Only three hours of sleep last night:( ..... but I did make the deadline today. :D
Anyway, I know we don't want to resume the conversation from the "Bad Thread"..... but I do want to respond to a few misplaced nice comments that were lost in the "Bad Thread".....
I think it would be cool if everytime I typed "Bad Thread" there was music..... You know something dramatic and a little creepy..... Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnnn!:p
Anyway, here goes. I will keep them anti-inflammatory. Please, pleeeeeeaaaaaassse everyone take them that way!:rolleyes:
Somewhere in the "Bad Thread" (Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnnn) it seems that Connie's femaleness was questioned???? :confused: Allllll Righty then. I followed a link to her club one time and stumbled upon her picture. For those of you who don't know.... trust me.... all woman!;) Besides, Mr. Moose confirmed it for me over beer one day!
Speaking of Mr. Moose..... Tom, you should set up an account for him, separate from yours. Although it might be tough... all of the others in there might want one too. You would never get on the computer yourself then.... everyone else would be using it!
Kirk Nelson.... Ion posted your swim time.... great swim..... you should be very proud of that time.:)
Dorothy, in the "Bad Thread" (Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnnn) you mentioned being at a band concert. My son's was last night too. (Part of the reason I got so little sleep.) I swear.... they played Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". You haven't lived until you have heard Iron Man played by 50 or so 12 to 14 year olds on french horns, trumpets, trumbones, tubas, .... you get the picture. At least they did have two kids who could keep the beat on bass guitars and one kid who actually could play a full set of drums. But I'm telling you it was a very odd experience.
Connie... you said you look forward to my posts..... Ok..... Tom, please talk with Connie and help her learn to control the "voices" in her head.:confused:
And one other thing Tom..... the birth control comment in the "Bad Thread" (Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnnn) was classic. Mean spirited and unappropriate (sorry, I figured I should say that) but classic.
Finally, I want to report on my attitude. It's much better than last night. Heck, it's Friday night! I am a bit unhappy because I missed my haphazard swim today. No endorphines I guess. Maybe I'll go for a run on the treadmill. Anyway, I will be outside with my wife and kids a lot this weekend. What more could I want?:D
Oh, and right now the Pirates are leading the Rockies 3-1 in the 6th inning. Life is good!

Dorthy, a couple of weeks ago I timed at my granddaughter's swim team. There was a father assisting me and learning how to work the timing console. Everything, except the printer, was running fine for most of the meet and the dad caught right on to how to go into the various menus when things went slightly ary. AND, during the entire meet we only had to enter ONE touch... amazing, this was a meet with kids as young as 5. Anyway, I was feeling fairly confident with how dad was running the console. BUT, at one point during a long race I look down and yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the console wasn't timing and Dad hadn't caught it! Well, of course we had watches so I wasn't in a dead panic. I did everything I could think of to get the console to start timing... nothing... ran into the office and let the clerk of course know about the problem... next event, I thought maybe just a reset would get it going.... nothing, ran back to clerk of course... then back to the timing table, played with the console some more during the race... nothing... next race, we manually started the console... at that point I went to the coach of my granddaughter's swim team and told him about the problem... he came over and saw the problem right away... geeze, did I feel stupid... the previous event had been a 25 started from the shallow end of the pool. The cable from the starter had wiggled loose when it was brought back up to the starting block end of the pool :D
