Thanks.

TV was wondering what Kitch and I were talking about in the AW thread.

I moved Kitch's post #1 so L&AM could have it because she was bummed that she never got a #1 post. Heh

Thanks for being a good sport there Kitch.

You goofs. :sillygrin: :goofy:

whatcha guys think of slims request for a movie quotes thread to go along with the lyrics thread?

I think that could be another topic that might die quickly on the vine. Perhaps we could direct her to the Shoot the Breeze thread and it could be included there until such a time as it warrants it's own thread.

I doubt it will though.

DON'T THINK IT WOULD KEEP GOING STRONG...

I'M GOING TO BE TRYING TO CLEAN UP THE "MINOR HUNTS" FOLDER TODAY....

JUST A FEW MOVES....NOTHING MAJOR...

Can you try and see what the dealio is here ares? I couldn't see anything in the script anywhere.

Ian, "Shoot the breeze with the Cooler Crew" #12714, 4 Mar 2007 12:38 pm

thats a really good question cm. i'll look into it and see what i can see.

thank me2: me2, "Shoot the breeze with the Cooler Crew" #10582, 21 Sep 2006 8:12 pm

i'll see what i can do to clean up that post...

shouldn't be that hard

fixed......heh...ares is going to be looking for that if he edited it at the wrong time :wink:

fwiw...

Ian posted a photo of a bunch of scotts seating next to the queen...

one had not underwhere under his kilt...if you know what i mean...

I deleted the photo./ post

Thanks ares & kitch

Thank you guys!

I don't know if it makes a difference or not but what do you guys think about changing the authors of the TMX Elmo threads to one of ours or the CCM? I don't see THX coming back to AM let alone the CC.

i've got no problem with it. i've thought about doing it myself for a while now. the folders would be easy. the individual threads on the other hand would require moving every post over.

he left able minds too?

Changing it is okay with me.

everywhere...

:worried:

...i'm going to say NO on an computer help thread...

others?

The difference between this request and some others we had right after the hunt, is that a computer help thread would be ongoing as the world of computers, software, operating systems, browsers, etc. is always changing.

I invision a main computer help folder with perhaps a sub thread for browsers, html help, basic computer 101 type stuff, photo software, office applications, basic maintenance, etc.

I spent three years helping people with varying degrees of computer savvy, and it's amazing what people know and don't know. As part of the computer help, I wrote a monthly column in our newsletter and it often ended up being about general maintenance, backing up files, virus and anti-spy and ad ware. The person, who did the proof reading of that newsletter often commented on how much she learned and she was fairly savvy when it came to computers.

This would be a good addition to our folders here in my opinion.

ok...now i see some use to this....

something like a main folder subs down...

such as

Firefox

IE

mp3 players etc.

photo

basic html

office apps

etc??

hmm...getting cluttered

how about a link to google...I'm sorry i'm being a smart ass but seriously...half the stuff i know i google for...find the answer and fix it....its usually a royal PITA ...

for example...I know a crapload on firefox now...but i'd be damn if i could explain it.

maybe it could be called something like KC-Ares school for nongeeks.

I know what you're saying, but I think it's been asked for by two people now. I see some benefit to it as having a place to put these questions and answers. And if one puts up a link to an answer found by googling, so who cares. It's answers the question.

I suspect that OT especially will have some basic things she is shy about asking elsewhere.

And I think when one finds something cool like an add-on from Firefox or a good website with helps, that link would be posted and we could end up with folks who take better care of their computer, be able to use their computer better and safer.

It's like a public service thing.

I understand...I"m just taking a bitter stand....don't really care if your ok with it terry.

I don't think it has to have anyone's name attached to it. It could be named something schmaltzy like Computers 101 or the World Wide

Wonders (WWW) of Computers, Geeks and Wannabe Geeks, Bits and Bytes?

If we're looking for a way to clean things up a bit, the whole cooler chick folder could be moved to the Coolerheads thread.

Some of those cooler chick threads are never used. If anyone wants to find me - I'm all over these threads so mine could be eliminated.

The look and feel folder is another one getting moldy.

And though I see a reason in theory for a politics and a sports thread in the In the News folder, they are seldom used and isn't that all part of the news anyways? And isn't that something we can shoot the breeze about when there's something current going on?

I like that there's a photo thread. When we're up north on a dial-up connection, I can choose to open that or wait until I'm back south with a broadband connection.

I think one of the things that has happened here is because there's a thread for so many different things, that every time there gets to be a discussion or an event that creates more than a couple of posts, someone wants a thread for that topic.

Back in the PP days, we had one thread. We simply posted everything there and it seemed to work out okay. There was even an online hunt conducted with daily clues and discussion. We copied and pasted the clues in our own Word or notepad applications on our computers to keep the clues together for our own reviewing.

Most of us even learned some basic html things on that one thread. DDY created a whole page of html things and still has that available. We just bookmarked those things and went to them when we needed or wanted to do so.

I'm not suggesting that we go back to that one thread format as I do see this place as providing some more personlized places - like the Coolerhead threads - and the hunts are nice to have separate threads for, but it's the threads for every topic that seems unnecessary. I don't really understand why there are cooler chick threads for the same reason. All the news that gets shared there can be shared on the shoot the breeze thread in my opinion.

I guess I do see a computer discussion' being semi-useful but don't think it deserves it's own folder whatsoever. I assume the CCC folder was so those ladies who came around only once in awhile would have a place to go to see messages directed towards them only.

I think the cooler chicks folders were once started with Ian and within his geocaching folder at PF.

So where would you put a discussion for computer related stuff, CM?

Here with all the other oddball stuff

That would be a good place for it.

FWIW, I do think the rant from me2 was unnecessary and out of place, but I guess we all have days when we're not at our best.

..I agree with this..

fwiw..I'm sure I'l post nonstop in this thread anyways...

I'm not going to use it to ask ???'s......

I'm thinkin' I'll use it as an "here loook at this" :smile:

at least ran into her in a park.....she seems a little scatterbrain'd...I'm sure a lot on her mind...but felt like she wasn't pissed at me.

Glad to hear it.

KITCH, "Ask Kitch Anything thread" #1391, 17 Apr 2007 4:13 pm

What happened and what did it say?

I made a post...

when i deleted the "script" from my myspace page...I think it stuck to my clipboard somehow...

I than posted it by mistake....well...it really goofed up ableminds and when you clicked on ANYTHING when that post was up...it brought you outside ableminds and to this PHISHING page for myspace....was really goofy..

I called ableminds asap and they fixed it...strange.

100000% happy with service from ableminds...top professionals!!!

part of the problem is i surf myspace all day long...

I was bound to get caught eventually...i now have antiphishing on firefox setup.

Was it Tim or Mark that took care of things? Either way - Good job guys! :cool:

both.,,,,i was a fit of panic...

Tell me to put blinders on if you want....

So I'll just mention this....

Iceman has some rather nasty lyrics up in the lyrics thread. :eyeroll:

The spelling isn't much better either! :smile:

Yeah. I agree. He's pushing 3M's thread with the bondage photos too. If we're in agreement I could try and direct those types of lyrics to 3M's thread instead of here. I know that I'm guilty of it as well and always wonder if it's appropriate. We could use the same guidelines as the CC. Other mods?

Too bad we can't moderate spelling. Or at least make the spelling button bigger for some members :wink:

I think if the code of conduct is good for one, it should be good for all of us.

Mikey's thread is a good place for some of that questionable material being it's unmoderated.

I just posted some lyrics in his thread to see if others follow

that went well.

:eyeroll:

Glad things are somewhat quiet around these parts.

La forsythia de chamomile, "Who's talking about us?" #12, 24 Apr 2007 3:09 pm

Honestly, I'm tired of all the ODI stuff. If I was at some forum where people were treating each other like that, I'd find somewhere else to play.

Thank you for helping direct those lyrics elsewhere. I don't want to come off sounding prudish - though I guess I am. I just find much of that to be so disrespectful to women.

NP...just seen it starting to get outta control

Youz guys are the greatest.
