Thanks DD So ten people know I did that. haha Well I get the impression that points are something I don't want. I feel like a moron here.

Anyways, I was not trying to hide anything as I stated I rated myself. I would not even have done that if I would have known better. Self ratings are not necessarily indicative of reality.

I will be careful what I click on in the future.

How did the ten people know I did that, and how can I see what they thought of it, I am not obsessed with it, just wanting to learn.

I try to treat everyone with respect, and usually don't end up being hated too much. At least until someone gets to know me.

Oh my gosh, Dave. He was kidding!! He has that "bent" sense of humor that some don't appreciate and others don't always recognize. Don't feel bad, we've been together for a long time and sometimes he fools even me!!

Gee...DD gives bad ratings??? Do I feel special!!!! *LOL*

I believe everyone starts out with 10 points and it adjusts up or down depending on how folks rate you as time goes by.

You are in good company EJ. DD, as in Dieseldiva, gives just about everyone 'terrible' ratings then she returns here to be with her own kind of folks.

It is also true that she has rated many as excellent,you just weren't one of them.DD.

Yes dc I was just yankin' your chain a little (what can I say, I was bored) but anyhow,to check for reputation comments go to the top left of this page where it says user cp and click on it.(it's okay,I was joking about the don't click on anything thing) when that page opens scroll down and that's where you will find your reputation comments.DD.

ps. I just clicked on the reputation symbol. It says I have ten reputation points. How did I get them, and what are they good for?

Other members add or subtract from your reputation. When you accrue a substantial amount of reputation points you can redeem them for great gifts at the E.O. On-line Catalog Store.

Some of these fine "Made In America" items include, but are not limited to; coffee mugs, T-shirts, ball caps, chain-drive wallets, smoked salmon, walnut Q.C. accent trim, and Bobble Head dolls of your favorite E.O. blogsters.

Depends on who it is,i got a Broompilot bobblehead for only 2 points.DD.

*wink*

dcalien · Mar 10, 2008

Great, Moot, I have been looking for a catalogue. I figured there was one. Usually when there are points, there are prizes.

Falligator · Mar 10, 2008

So, where would one look to find this “catalogue”? lol

Unfortunately the very first Bobble Head in the E.O. "Expediter" series is unavailable due to legal issues. The original Head threatened to sue the manufacturer for libel and reproducing a likeness without permission. An agreement was reached and all of the Bobble Heads were destroyed. Except for one.

This rare, one of a kind Bobble Head was recently appraised at well over 200 reputation points. At auction it could go for much higher. Should the owner ever decide to sell, it would return a substantial profit compared to the original price.

For a mere -2 reputation points one could get a really cool Moot Bobble Head. It comes in a padded crate along with a hard hat and bandages.

Hey dd, I'll give you a 5 star rating for your BroomPilot Bobble Head. This would give me a complete set of the Dieseldiva top TERRIBLE rated Bobble Heads.

Falligator · Mar 10, 2008

I imagine that if there was a Falligator bobble head It would come with a string that when you pull it the doll whines about cold weather and not getting loaded.....

No way pal,and besides who ever said that that would complete the series? DD.

P.S. after that post you may not have enough points to complete the deal anyway.

How right you are! Silly of me to think that would complete the series. Schizophrenia left untreated can manifest itself in the form of social isolation. Not being part of the "in crowd." Another symptom is delusions. Beliefs not based on reality, such as the belief that there's a conspiracy against you. Once paranoia sets in the list of perceived enemies grows.

Many famous people suffered from schizophrenia. J. Edgar Hoover and Richard M. Nixon come to mind. They both compiled lengthy lists of real and imagined enemies.

I tried giving you a 5 star rating but failed. I would still like your BroomPilot Bobble Head. Even if its value diminishes with the growing list of "terrible" ratings. I have a place for it on my top shelf, right next to my Terry and Rene Bobble Heads.

OMG Moot,I had no idea.From the majority of your posts I don't think many would even know that you were afflicted.

But I really think that you should get the treatment that you need,and I also think that I speak for the majority here on EO that we are pulling for you to get through this.DD.

P.S. If you could just get over this ratings thing I believe it would go a long ways towards your recovery.

Moot if you to this point have all the bobbleheads I am sure you are not legal to drive that van! If you are not careful you will have to lower the weight of the freight you are able to haul!
