And I thought all the way through college that it was just alcohol that caused pregnancies. If I had known that they needed to be on antibiotics as well, I might have had a better time.

Rob - I would advise any young man to steer clear of the girls that "needed to be on antibiotics as well."


I know you know what I meant!!

Ah yes, the old explain to me why I need to take penicillin for your sinus infection!

This was just IMed to me from an unnamed friend....who is not GEFan:

"just so you know who you are dealing with as a friend....that story Nika told on the gebb?...the one where the little dog tunneled into his yard and bit him while his kids were there?....Know this: I would have killed that little thing in 2 seconds and flung the body back over the fence."

My dogs need play toys, small dogs & cats work really well.

Ruydah is a smart man.

Yes. It was him.

The comment caught me so off guard that I nearly wet my britches.

I must concur. That happens to me and I have small children...that dog would be ground into the earth like a ciggy butt by way of a size 10 shoe. He'd never make it to Animal Control alive. In the words of Mr. T., "This storm is gonna rage."

Let me guess...it was some sort of terrier, right?

Tap House Patio is now OPEN! Looks Great! Had a fantastic lunch there today. Hopefully this will keep Danny on the south side of the tracks!!

Nice Job Danny

Take a picture.

Do they allow folks to bring their rabid dogs along?

Punctuation is your friend.

quote:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

‘Why?’ asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

‘Well, I’m a panda’, he says, at the door. ‘Look it up.’

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
‘Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.’

Man! Would you be getting the shots or just the vaccine?
OOOOOWWWCHH!

Ha Ha!

Clamato - you did that on purpose!

Enough is enough.

Too many thoughtful, intelligent and articulate GEBBers have left this board because of the hateful and otherwise inappropriate postings of a few.

I have tried to be reasonably open-minded in what I allow, but I fear I have been too tolerant of those who choose to ignore The Rules.

The Terms of Service of this board state, in part:

quote:

You agree ... that you will not post any material which is ... defamatory ... abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing ... threatening, invasive of a person's privacy...

Several posters have stepped far over this line on too many occasions. Kindly knock it off.

Furthermore:

quote:

Unacceptable content includes ... posts which attack or otherwise demean individuals and organizations, whether public or private.

Regarding political, governmental and similar matters, discussing policies and procedures is always preferable to focusing on personalities ... but please keep your posts civil. Negative comments about hired staff and other public or private employees, whether identified by name or description, are generally unacceptable.

Most important:

We reserve the right to edit or delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever.

Unfortunately, it appears that I must devote more time to this responsibility.

Your thoughts and opinions on policies and procedures are solicited. Simply linking to the ideas of others, or copying-and-pasting someone else’s thoughts, is frowned upon.

I encourage you all to accept the fact that posting your partisan point-of-view here will not change the opinion of those with an opposing point-of-view. And calling those people offensive names or otherwise attempting to degrade them will not only fail to convince them of the merits of your argument, it will usually turn those on the fence against you and your ideas.

Accept the fact that no matter how intelligent, well-read and informed you may be, there will always be others who are equally intelligent, well-read and informed that will always disagree with you.

Learn to deal with the message, not the messenger.

When stating your position, remember that repetition is annoying. Make your point. Let the other side make theirs. A disinterested third party can read both and elect to go with the one that makes the most sense. Repeating and repeating and repeating the same “facts” LOUDER and LOUDER does not help your cause. Quality always trumps quantity.

It’s time to close this thread; 140 pages is probably enough. A new “Hijack This Thread” topic starts here . I’ve moved it to the “The Rest of the World” forum.

Play nice. —Ted E.
