Larousse....any reason why you don't 'out' the poster who has been 'harrassing' you?

I certainly would like to know who it is...as I said to you in your thread.... I certainly forget sometimes that ANYONE can read us! Thanks...I need to be reminded of it from time to time... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

...but don't all emails have a 'sender's' name of some sort? ...I see....anyone can have any number of email address to hide behind....

We should have CSI or Criminal Minds team check it out.... they would be able to 'trace' the emails back to the 'source'....get an address....show up at the door.... and 'take them in' for harrassment....and for being a danger to the general public..... yes....unfortunately...I do watch too many of those shows! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

it's sad someone thinks they should anonymously dictate who can and cannot post here in TKO. Beth was all but scared off. That is nutz.

Luna,

I don't care for GM unless it is used as a component in a margarita. Even then, I would probably prefer Cointreau. But, I've found a better solutuion than both of the above, whether to be used as a shot or in margaritas. And, it's more economical than both. Patron makes some very good tequilias. They also make an orange liquor called Citronage. Now, this will certainly be sweeter than GM. If you don't like some measure of sweetness, than Citronage is not for you. GM, by the way, has a base of brandy. I've had it straight-up but really don't care for it that way.

Pio,

How cold does it get at night in SA (in fahrenheit please)?

I'm a software guy (28+ years, started when I was a baby!) but have a pretty good understanding of electricy. Why does your compound run on 120V/60Hz rather than the 220V/50Hz?

All right, I don't know what you all would be interested in as a general introduction.

I live near St. Louis Missouri with the wife and DD13. This area is not Frenchified, although it was settled by the French. All that is left of the French are some mispronounced place names. The big waves of immigration in this area were the Germans and the Italians.

I'm 47 (just turned) and have generally low mileage, except fo this year. I'm 6'2" 210 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes. I may have more tools than Pio. I enjoy wine, cooking , bourbon, remodelling, maragaritas, film, beer, music, water, reading, sake, gardening, espresso (but not coffee), Mexican and Italian foods. I'm been employed 28+ years with the same company whose main objective is software packages for rural electric cooperatives throughout the US.

I have a lengthy thread on Emotional Needs entitled "I've joined Holdingontoit's club and I'm not happy about it. I need some help...".

Ask away!

We are probably 120V because this used to be an American company. 60 Hz is generally a much more intelligent and economical way to operate than 50 Hz. If all you are operating is a toaster, it doesn't much matter. But anything with a motor in it runs much better at 60 Hz. Problem is motors designed for 50 Hz may not have enough cooling capacity when run at 60 Hz or, if they are cheap enough, might even saturate the laminations. I believe line losses are lower at 60 Hz than at 50 Hz. I'm not sure why 50 Hz was ever invented. Maybe I'll google it.

Hi Larousse,
I am sorry that someone has also sent you unwelcome emails. I certainly admire your handling of the situation though. I hope your post sends that person back into the hole they crawled out of.

Hi Luna,
How is your dad doing? Is his wound healing now?

ToddAC,
I miss your songs and still wish you would post one that is full of love and hope for the future. I usually download the songs that are posted, it's interesting and certainly expands my collection.
Have you spoken to your youngest son yet? Or did I miss that while I was in Vegas?

Piojitos,
I love your choice for Halloween. I have been trying to remember another quote of his and all I can remember is that love and fear cannot exist together. Maybe Kiwi will be able to complete it for me?

Steph,
I think you are incredibly lucky to be going on dates with your H. I'm glad that you both want to do that and I hope it works out well for you.

Booka,
I am also new to TKO but welcome. With your physical description you belong over here on the west coast. I am sure the men on here will love having someone else to discuss "things" with. I'm always looking for a good wine, preferably a red so I would love to hear some recommendations.

BUT, now onto BigK and Steph

Do you think you could do me a favor ? Next time you two
discuss the fact that you climb the walls after a month of abstinance, could you please remember me? Whisper or go outside to discuss the matter. Thanks, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how long it has been!
LOL (well not really!)

Wildfire wise the Santa Ana winds still rage and the fire spreads but so far away from homes - good news.

Hi to anyone I omitted.

TGIF - Beth

2regret,

Give me and idea of what you like in red wine and what your price range would be per bottle.

I'm sure that there are some good records for abstinence around here. That's the basic reason that I'm on this site. You long-timers can laugh at my 33-days without. It is a record for me, though not an enviable one.

Sorry Kim, I knew I was missing someone. Thanks for the cushion offer. I have three son - drool is nothing!
There are far too many nucking futs people in this world.

Thanks. I'm having a pretty rough day with it today though. I'm just tired of him coming and going and not making any decisions and thinking it's OK. Today I feel like I could be done with everything.

I heard about this on the news last night. My heart goes out to California and the firefighters and their families. How tragic. I heard the fire was intentially set. Can you believe that??

Hi Booka,

I love a nice Australian Shiraz - I guess I usually pay around $20 per bottle. (Aussie Dollars). I do however make my own beer.

How is it that a software guy can't convert Farenheit to Celsius?

Welcome here anyway.
