Acronym game ....

Edward was retired and had to find something to keep his mind off his imminent death and lack of a life lived to the full. Still, he did have his memories of romantic liasons of the past. He just wished he had focused more on romantic love than just getting his end off.:head

Sorry for the double post but,

...He looked at the garage, where his second cousin, Yolander, had stored the Harley Davidson. He had wasted the first half of his life. And he still had the phone number...


Does that help, Rachel?

 

[BatRay]

Ahhh....sorry, Adam. It was kind of random, and I did not understand.

Rick, congrats on such a gutsy little girl! Did she get the toy back? I hope so. I wonder at the teacher's assertion that stealing is okay but self-defense is an inappropriate reaction. That's backward. Does it occur to this teacher that stealing is an act of violence? Stealing also denotes a lack of respect, and that can cause problems in many other areas, and it doesn't look like anyone is doing anything to curtail it. I also wonder at the boy's parents. When will they teach their little darling to share and take turns? When he's 7? 12? 15? I agree that violence is not always an appropriate reaction, but they seem to be sparing the rod and spoiling the child.

My opinion I'm just glad to hear that there are some kids and parents that advocate standing up for yourself. And nooo, if someone tried to steal my gear :martial:ko

Said events raise ire over unacceptable stealing; Lockedin's yelling!

I doubt that you yelled Did you see the whole thing happen?

stealing

Super-clepto trash erradicated after largely ignorant nonscheduled grab.

After a lengthy typing hiatus, I am back baby. :t Blasted neighbors with the non firewalled i-net moved. Shure am gonna miss those people. It is rough now. Don't want to mess with dial up, and apparently, i live in a cable/dsl black hole. 20 minutes on the phone and all i got was refered to and automated transfer system. Looks like its satellite for me.

Some have inquired as to the sucess of my hoohah and i must give the shindig a stunning review. A little keg of sammy adams, apple tarts, pizza, 4 of my favorite girlfreinds ever, 2 good wrestling matches for me(not with the chicks). Tally of burned furniture- just 1 big couch cause we slacked and didn't go pick up any extras, 2 dressers, a couple of trees...........

Tipsy revelers ashed sofa hotly.:friday

Glad to have you back! Sounds like the party went well. Ya know it was a good party when you're keeping a tally of fried furniture!I love going "sneakernet"! At home, there are three or four unsecured networks, but they're all fairly slow (1.5mbps). Once upon a time, I had a gig that let me work from home, so I got a 6mbps connect.:king You can get pretty fast Satellite connects, but weather can be a factor. I recently found my parents marina has a few unsecured connections...

recent escapades valiantly experienced, leave echoes realizing seriousness.

hey all - hope everyone had as gorgeous a wknd as we had up in mendo

freak blow-out of a hose coming out of my first stage - sounded like a gun - but fortunately had a spare reg and bcd to quickly replace that bad HUB i had on my hands.

:crutch

better to have a disaster right at shore entry than 80 ft under.

Escaping seriously crippling accident prevents a different ending, scary!

Scary! Glad you're OK. Was an HP, or LP hose? On a different tack, have you been following the Shark Shield thread?

Averting crazy crippler indeed deems event not tragic.

Glad your OK KP. Any idea what may have caused the 'freak blow-out'?

it was an HP hose right out of the first stage - and it blew right where there was the metal crimping. on these HUBS there's also pneumatic dump, so the hoses are plumbed off in T formations, so i only have one main HP hose that feeds both second stages,- it eventually splits off into two hoses - but the main blows and that's it! obviously i need another source of redundancy now.

i just had it serviced like 3 mos ago - so i have to double check IF that particular hose was replaced at that time or not - freaky for sure - makes you take a step back and think to yourself "thank god i wasn't at 120 when it blew" and if i was w/o a stage bottle what would i have done? an extra octo on this set-up would have been useless......

and james other than a failure of the rubber, i'm not sure, as i always wash down this stuff so it definitely wasn't salt erosion.

bizarro!

Yesterday offered no doubt, expecting resurgence.

Attempted to break in some new hiking boots yesterday. Maybe 10mi / 16km wasn't the best way to start. I have huge blisters on my feet today.:crutch

Have fun with the double "Y" word!

Yep, eventually snows thaw ending restless days admiring Yule-logs.



Spring feels like its about to be sprung:inlove. Our massive amounts of snow have started their journey back to the sea.

Sometimes you break the boot and sometimes it breaks you. 10 miles! I hope it was worth it. Where bouts did you go?

Rapidly exiting season to leave everyone smiling serenely

James, I followed a portion of the "Backbone Trail" at the northern end of the Santa Monica Mtn range. Beautiful hike! Starts at appx 900ft above sea level; includes a settler's cabin (circa 1860's Flagstone chimney & foundation), then up to the highest point in the range (3111 ft. according to the survey marker) That point has a stunning 360º view from Santa Barbara, to Palos Verdes, and includes (especially on windy days) all of the Channel Islands, Santa Barbara Island, San Nicholas Island, and Catalina. Unfortunately, that point was also where I noticed the blisters:crutch, and I wrecked my feet and ankles on the return journey. Doc (a friend, and a Doc!), came by this morning, told me to stay off of my feet thru the weekend, and gave me something strong that's given me no urge to be on my feet. Pics to come, when I can see straight enough to find them...:hungover

Best I could do with a walking theme

 

[BatRay]

What in the world? How did you wreck your feet and ankles, Rick? Was it the blisters, or bad-fitting shoes, or a fall Hope you feel better soon.

Intrepid neophytes dared experience paths evidently not downhill, exhaustion now trounced lowly yesterday.

Damaged old wits never helped 'im live longer. :head

I bought some new Teva trail running shoes. Since they were "sooo comfortable", I decided to walk the path mentioned above. While at the peak, I discovered blisters on the balls of both feet, which became painful on the way down. Due to the pain, my walk became modified more to the heels / and sides of my feet. Lesson learned:head Feet are better, and I'm wearing flip flops in the office today!

Spelling is KEY to this game....I always see tons of mistakes...Hence it kinda ruin's the game...for me anyways. :hmm

I'm not trying to bust anyones chops or pick on JamesS....But if one of the words in the acronym is totally mis-spelled - especially the FIRST letter of a word....IT'S NOT AN ACRONYM!!!!!!!! :naughty Envigorating IS NOT a word...Invigorating IS - But spelled properly- the word invigorating does not fit the acronym!

Sorry! Just felt I needed to point that out.... Therefore a proper acronym for the word Damaged has yet to be - It is still up for grabs...For that matter the word before Damaged was wrong too....As 'Im IS NOT a word either - not in that context anyways - I'm however IS a word - just not a proper fit again! The proper spelling would have been 'em...So actually the word downhill is also still up for a proper acronym too...

And thats just the LAST TWO words!

See what I mean? Not only THAT...Alot of the time even IF all the words ARE spelled corectly - the word or acronym just makes NO proper sense whatsoever....So whats the point? It's just throwing out random words that start with a certain letter if the acronym makes no sense!

This is pretty much why I don't join in on the Acronym game much anymore...It's no fun correcting people constantly...Or making an acronym out of a word that IS NOT a properly spelled word.

I hope when I check back here in the future that people have learned to use an online dictionary and or a good spellcheck...Sorry about the "lecture" but............If the word does'nt make any sense then it's pretty much pointless.

Without going back too far....To get this game on the right track again, DOWNHILL is the ACTUAL word waiting for an acronym.

I LOOK FORWARD TO READING ALL THE FUTURE ACRONYM'S RELATED TO MY ACRONYM SPELLING ANAL-NESS!!!!!!

Oh crap....Is ANAL-NESS a word? Hahahahahaha rofl

Hey man Dan - Personally one of the reasons I love this game is the new words I discover. Occasionally I will also discover that what I thought was correct was actually incorrect. It is all in the name of fun and not to be taken too seriously.
I did notice in your post you spelled 'ruins' as "ruin's" which is quite incorrect as the nomitive apostrophe is completely out of place! rofl

So anyway....ENVIGORATING

[bgill]

O.K. then Shoutatthesky. Instead of "ruin's the game for me" how about

"It SCOTCHES the game for me." - No apostrophe!

How is that for learning a new word? :t

I make mistakes ALL OF THE TIME....That's why almost every post I make is edited atleast once! I could'nt live without it...We'll I'd live without it but you guys would see hoe bad my spelling really sucks! SEE!!!!!!! Oh shoot....I HAVE TO EDIT the word HOE!!! But I won't - so you can see I am human too!


BTW...I'll pass that info you gave me earlier along to my Neice & Nephew in N.Z. Thanx!
