Crikey - I sound like my own parents!!! :eek: Wow....somehow, I thought I was younger than that. :D

The possible headaches are tremendous: How do potential 'guests' contact you to find out whether there's a vacancy - or do they just show up? And how do they know where the place is located? Where would you advertise, and how much personal information [address & phone number] would you put out...

Aaaah - it's coming back to me now [along with the motive for the rusty lawn darts] You're the one that attributed my every success to some outside intervention, as if I wasn't capable of attaining it all by my little old self. You can keep the darts - I've got plenty more *L* ;)

Maybe we can undo this Gordian knot in the same way the original was undone: just cleave it in two. We could have a SOAP section for Serious Argument Only Please, and a BOX section for Blame it On Xiggi [sorry for singling you out, Xig, when there are so many to choose from, but the acronym...

I'm really sorry to hear that, Ari - but remind me again: which one are you? :confused:

Exactly!!!!

Greg: it is because we'd like to participate that we find the deluge so distasteful - to repeat: who has time to refute even one tenth of the crap? Aristotle: Xiggi's comment was countered by several members already - have you got anything besides namecalling [headhunters] and immature...

Problem with folks using the 'ignore' feature, [or simply refraining from comment] is that generally, silence is construed as agreement, because people tend to speak more readily to object than to agree. No one wants to drive the Chef [or anyone else, I hope] away - we just want the Soapbox to...

Xiggi: perhaps you should read all the preceding comments - yours has already been made, and answered.

It's a shame that Turtle is missing this, loving irony as he does. For example: the irony of those who prefer to engage in reasoned debate on any given subject being called "koolaid drinkers" by those whose argument consists of trendy [and shallow] labels.... :rolleyes:

Wow - talk about being showered with blessings! Congratulations on your good fortune! :)

Why, thank you Rocket [you may as well accept the appellation, lol] I was inspired by RELENT'S corollary. Which is what I'm trying to explain: some are better at riffing off the thoughts of others than opening a dialogue themselves, and the 'barrage' of articles is just too much to counter...

Greg: there are so many different personalities here, with different opinions and strengths - some [like myself] are rarely motivated to start a thread, but sometimes motivated to comment on one. Just as I will respond to comments [in a truckstop], but don't initiate the exchange - it's just...

I'm sitting in 'Panther country' [Seville, Oh], loaded and locked, ready [almost!] to head for delivery in Mass Monday. Then I hope to bolt for SC, expressly to switch to my 'new' truck! Apologies to those carriers I couldn't manage to shoehorn in here - I'm too excited to focus, lol. Will...

Just wanted to point out a perfect example of why I never 'ignore' anyone: the Chef's response to Confused Muse's question about 'The United Mexican States' saved me the trouble of Googling it myself, lol. Thanks, Chef. :)

Take care - you might just find yourself being investigated for treason for saying something not hateful about the President around here....:eek: PS I thought YOU were 'the big O'? Or is that just what Juju says?

Another possible corollary: if one wishes to engage in a battle of wits without possessing weapons, one can simply borrow them. [Trusting that the gun was properly loaded, of course] :rolleyes:

The Chef has admitted that he has NO IDEA whether any of the cut & paste articles are 'truth', so you're barking up the wrong tree there, Mutt.

Nice pics, Moose - thanks for sharing something we don't get to see enough of [a different perspective]. :) Why do you say the trucks have a better driver environment? What have they got that's better?

white_christmas.swf (application/x-shockwave-flash Object) One of the best Christmas songs ever! [Turn it up!!!] :D
