ROTFL .... just hate it when a drawer follows you out the door!

That was funny ...


I love when stuff like that happens.
My personality is such that I'd rather be funny than profound. :-)

I got a bunch of those drawers at a best buy that closed down. I offered
something stupid like 10 bucks per box and took 6 or 8, I can't
remember. They've been through a bunch reincarnations and are ugly, but
have served me well.

I think you wooshed me... I have no clue what you're talking about.

I think this guy is to Josepi what Dennis is to Rob...


Hmmm.... ok. But maybe if Dennis had his own Dennis. :-)

Yeah, that's probably a more accurate assessment... Geez, every day I
become more keenly aware of how precious little time we have to live our
lives to the fullest. What a sad existence it must be to waste so much
of it stalking other people on the internet.


How true is that? I've made lots of internet friends who turned into
"real" friends after meeting in person... including you. It only takes a
couple words and a hand shake to figure out if they have a screw loose.

I bet you weren't so sure about me, when I went straight in for the
bro-hug. :-)

Having recently had a minor windfall, I decided to splurge and finally
round out my budding shop. I have a budget of about $4K, and the
entries below add up to about $3K. The rest will go on odds and ends,
lumber, and anything that I may have missed.

My shop is half of a two-car garage. I already have a table saw and
miter saw (both poor quality), a decent router, and some small hand
tools, including a decent 4-set of Irwin chisels and a few Avant
planes.

You mention you have a poor quality table saw. The table saw is the
workhorse of the workshop. Before you splurge on additions like a lathe,
etc. I'd upgrade your tablesaw to at least a good contractor's saw.
Delta, Powermatic, Dewalt, etc. all make saws in this category.

You should be able to get a good table saw for $1000 and still have
money left over for all the other things you listed. As long as you
struggle with a poor quality tablesaw, your woodworking will suffer.

Just based upon our internet conversations I was already 95% sure you didn't have any loose
screws, but watching you prepare for the gig before I finally decided it was ok to "bother"
you was the final proof. I didn't get that same air of professionalism from the other
drummer I'd met earlier that evening. :-)

I bet you weren't so sure about me, when I went straight in for the bro-hug. :-)

Nah; I thought nary a thing of it. I'm definitely a hand-shaker and not a hugger (unless
you're a girl), but I can handle the occasional "bro-hug", as long as you don't get too
carried away. :-)

I wasn't sure how they handle things down in Texas. :-)

You don't know how tempted I was to do the Bill Murray, uncomfortably
long, awkward hug from Groundhog Day.

How true is that?

On stalkers? Usually very accurate when "harassing" is included in
the elements of the judgment.
On living Life? Each has their own glass and thus their own story.
It is what the individual believes of _their_ Life that is paramount, in making
a judgment externally. Casual observation is not sufficient to know what
a single individual is thinking.

I've made lots of internet friends who turned into
"real" friends after meeting in person...

returns: 4,320 for .
Earliest record is 2003.
returns: 1,790 .
Earliest record is 2005.

Is it understood it is you, the poster, who is _solely_ responsible
for posted content of a post made, nobody else has input?
Both of you have been around long enough to
know better than the implied direction of your followups
quoted.


No mail in the box, Mike.. is there a problem?
I haven't a lot of time to spend with this.

Oh wonderful, another fan. Look Gomer, I've never been to the rodeo, but
this isn't my first go around with an internet weirdo. Maybe I have you
wrong, but if I don't, keep in mind there are laws on the books for
internet harassment, now.

I also have another internet and "real" friend (Steve knows him, too, in
fact) who works for the US DoD as, essentially, an hacker's hacker.
Whether you believe me or not isn't really a concern to me. I just
suggest you keep that in mind when deciding where and how far you decide
to take any little games you might think about playing.

How many times did you keep asking the girl to dance after she shot
you down? Historically speaking, of course - I'm sure you left all of
that behind you.

Well played Mike, most of these types are cowards hiding behind a
keyboard. This one may froth a bit, but deep down he just has a hardon
for Josephine the top poster.
