That was Dino's 3rd or 4th attack at Colleen.
And if you throw enough rocks...well ya get what ya get back.
If he is so in love with Taunton, well he should stay there. Not here.

"... becoming gainfully unemployed..."
I like that phrase
Makes about as much sense as you do sometimes, but I like you too

Your search function here works pretty well. I found 32 uses of the word "shit", including the post above from Dino to me and even some by yourself. As someone said recently, "if the foo shits..."
I explained my previous reference to Dino and offered a truce. He attacked even more vigorously. I've found in life and in cyberspace that sometimes one needs to clear a perimeter.
I often did this with Gabe, as you recall, yet we ended up breaking bread together after the Quebec fest. Gabe was a willing partner in burying that hatchet, signaled by his gracious offer to give me a tour of his city, which i accepted just as graciously. If i see similar respect out of Dino, he will most assuredly receive it from me.

Newf, i got your msg. through the forum yesterday morn and responded through the forum system, but apparently it didn't get to you. I sent my email addy in that: cmilleratcybernet1dotcome. Drop me your current addy there and i'll recap, since i didn't get a copy of my email either.
Basically, the answer was "yes" and telling you how often i held your garden pics in my mind for inspiration as i was working on my place this past summer. There was a fellow from your parts posting as "Island Angus" in a long thread i started on building my hoophouse last spring. Whenever he's post i'd wonder if you guys were acquainted. (Yeah, like someone asking me if i know their sister's roommate who went to university in Missoula. <G>)
Thanks for the support here.

I like you, too, Pif, but then i have a thing for older men, you know. <Palinesque wink>
We crafters also had a phrase for what looked to be a non-job to our 9-5 friends: "unemployed with dignity".

My phrase was "Self-Unemployed" when I was asked what I do. Scary, it's getting real.

Nice that TPTB didn't kick his thread to the Tavern yet, so he has more than a handful cheering him on.
I used a pseudonym and opined in one of the Tavern Access threads that got resurrected that Pete's thread was a better indicator of what our community is about, despite what the election stuff brought out.That thread was a few years old, but the whole was quickly deleted after my post.
I started a thread, quoting my email to Robyn - indicating that I hoped she read the Pete's Dad thread and realized that the political swipes don't show the real story f the community there.
The thread didn't survive.
I wrote: "I hope you will take a moment to read this thread, and see how folks who are "at daggers draw" politically draw together when real needs arise: [link deleted]"

I'm not sure whether I'll hang here or not.
I don't have much respect for the folks who seem intent on dissing me, but it gets old after awhile.
Time will tell.
(BTW - on the other hand - after the loss of sizzle diminishes, one also finds one doesn't miss the drying undies hung in the bath, and the drain doesn't clog nearly so often, and there is far less competition for space for the world's record setting attempted mustard collection in the fridge <G>)

You need to get tangled up with someone in the medical field!
I'm having dinner tomorrow with the woman who bought my Victorian whom i continue to work maintaining that behemoth. She opened a home health care business almost two years ago (after being fired 3X in a row...sounds familiar), bought her partners out just recently, and now has ~140 employees, with no sign of a slowdown in getting contracts, not even in these times.
It's nice! She can afford me! I think it's my turn to buy dinner, though, lol...

Wait a minute, it's not clear...which one of you was OCD about the mustard? <g>
I hope that NOBODY leaves, but it seems there is a bit of butt-sniffing going on in this new-fangled Bark Park. Yep, time will tell...

Funny thing is another customer just informed me that Soc.Sec sent them a letter, saying "oops, we Fu'ed, and overpaid you, so we need 8,400.00 BACK from you"
Now THAT got them kinda scared. So that is now on hold too..back to my wooden snoflakes if it gets much worse, they were like printing money.

I just emailed you back through the system here and will work on the problem. As i said in that email, it's happened that even someone is my address book had an email blocked out of many that come through fine, and we can't even figure out what part of the offending paragraph triggers it.
This never happened using the PC...maybe i've been [s]Mac'd!
I'm going to send you an email from my Mac and PC both, see if it comes in from either. Be patient...i'm slow...
EDIT: Come to think of it, my luck with all you Canadians has been quite variable, LOL!

One of my galleries is asking for barrettes for the holidays and i'll probably do a few dozen for some walking-around money. It's not the most interesting thing to do, but i got to thinking that they depend on folks like me who have a cheap production item to offer as stocking stuffers, and they cost me nearly nothing to make out of my endless boxes of lazy-susan corners. As you said, "printing money", and it may be worth considering as an item for you to make in the post-Christmas season. I can make about four times as much per hour doing barrettes as making custom furniture, sad but true.
I used to sell lots of jewelry boxes in the $100-$125 range through that gallery, but i'm still not settled in the shop enough to do a production run of 30 or 40 to make it worthwhile. Maybe next summer, for the tourist season...but then the hoophouse[s] will be up and running, and...<G>
