all squintin') on our deck on our backyard....we have lotsa
privacy here :), no John that ain't a mountain just a hill for sleigh ridin' :D

Thanks laurie I love this area..It's beautiful..I'm actually a joisey boy born & raised close by
to you (Bloomingdale & Butler) hadda like dat?

Jim FF I told you I had enough hair for the both of us...:) I actually just started to grow my hair long about 3yrs ago, My wife's idea...

When I decide to cut it it'd going to "Locks of Love"
they take it and make wigs for little one who have a
disease that makes them bald...I originally thought it was for children going through Chemo-Therapy but I found out different...

OK ........PONY UP boys and girls...
Lets see dem pictures....don't delay send them off to

Rob Z,

I'm just this morning coming to realize something that has occurred recently in my life and I thought about you and little Robby.

I have a coffee mug in my garage/shop that I keep pencils in. The other day at WallMart pencils were on sale in an isle bin. I bought two packages (two dozen). I opened the packages, sharpened about six of them and placed them all in this coffee mug.

Tanner watched me sharpening these six pencils and using my electric pencil sharpener to do so.

It's been about four days now since I did this.

This morning I noticed there is not one pencil in that pencil mug. Not one.

For two days now I have been finding pencils here and there out in the yard that measure not more than two inches in total length, and this includes the eraser.

I thought at first I was finding the same pencil over and over again and thought nothing of it until this morning when I discovered the mug was empty.

So yes they are cute little guys.....for a while. :)

Just wait, I have always heard boys were a lot different than girls and now I am here to testify. :D

Sonnie, you Cajun Coonass, those are fresh water fishes. Those Reds come outa the Gulf, don't they? I bought some Reds over at the market not too long ago. No mention they were imported from Minnesota. :D

Where's Rob? Sent him an email. Must have bounced off him. :D

Sonnie Layne

11-11-2002, 12:47 AM

We actually got soccolait and black bass that occur in brackish water down der. Damn fine stringer of fish, I still don't like all that white stuff, tho.

And isn't it great we can get farm-raised reds on the market nowdays?

Rob Z

11-11-2002, 06:33 AM

Thanks, everybody. :)

RJ, no I didn't get your email. I have since turned off the filters on my email program. :( I ended up getting a Hitachi. The Senco is in the landfill.

Todd, no , that isn't my chair. Christina doesn't let me sit in any of the nice furniture. In fact, she rarely lets me into the house (other than the garage). Things stay nicer that way.

Jim, I think Robby is about 18 lbs now. 90% for height, 50% for weight, 99% for cuteness. :D

Bud, Robby is almost 7 months old. He has already started to get into everything he can get to. I can't wait until he can walk.

It's amazing how having a couple of kids will make you clean up your act.

John Bridge

11-11-2002, 06:56 AM

Haul him out to the garage and let him play with the big boy stuff. ;)

Sonnie,

Seems like every fish I buy nowadays (unless I want to take out a loan) has been farm raised. And quit getting off topic. You're supposed to keep this place tidy. :D

Here's a picture of the Stankhammer boys. Lefty, on the right, Homer, in the middle, and Jethro Jr., the other one.

It's tough to get them to stand still long enough to shoot them, unless you offer to buy their autographs ($2 each, or all three for $5).

Look for the boys in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They will be performing their world famous "6-Step Shuffle" right behind the NYPD Equestrian Unit and in front of the Shriner's Magic Go-Cart Cavalcade!

11-26-2002, 01:23 PM

'Cause I can identify them by sight. That's Lefty, on the right.

And Homer's in the middle.

And that leaves Jethro, Jr., the other one.

Wait a minute, do you think that they are imposters???

And, why would anybody impersonate the Stankhammers? (except for the money, prestege, and women, of course)

11-26-2002, 04:59 PM

I have to ask this.. when they are with a woman do they take those suits off or are the suits birth control devices?

Is the woman a close relative?

Are there ever more than one womans? Ones mind is boggled. I could go on in this vein but common curtesy, discretion and consideration for the faint of heart not to mention the sensibilities of the members of the fair sex,the Belles of Tile Your World, suggest I desist from this train of thought.

You mean like this?

Switch the vB Code button from Normal to Enhanced. Then when you click the "B" "I" , "U", etc buttons, they don't pop a dialog, but instead put the code down on the page. Click several, then type your text, then click "Close all tags". Pretty dang slick, I just figgered it out. :D

CX, did you get that? :)

Oh, and use the "Attach File" dialog at the bottom of the reply screen. You can choose any picture on your hard drive, as long as it's smaller than 30 kbytes.

Yep, I caught that, Dave. Knew it must be something important.

Hows come this new site won't remember who I am from one visit to the next? I miss checking a box or somethin'?

And just now the reply page that came up is more like the old one, without all the new bells and whistles. :confused:

Okay, your picture is about 300 pixels wide, and the file size is about 21K. This thing supports photos up to about 35K, so that means you can post medium quality pics that are about 400 to 450 pixels wide (or tall).

And the other way to do it is the old way by loading it on my site and then posting it, but we don't want to go through that routine, do we?

:shades:

I need you to send me the photo full size so I can reduce it a little and add it to the album on the main site.

I'm thinking that might be why my picher wouldn't post, Dave. Too big. I made it smaller in size, substantially smaller than John's bird, but it was still over 30K. After your post above, I tried saving it and reducing the "quality", but it seems to bottom out at about 32K - same at 70, same at 65, etc.

Maybe there is a minimum for any particular photo? Does the format size at which it was taken make the difference?

I just don't think it's fair for JB to be able to post a big bird picher and I can't post no picher at all! :mad:

Well, it is his site and all, but still................:p

It's little, Dave, 150x231 thingees only. It's a reduction from a larger original. When I save it at 100(percent?), it's 32K. When I save it at 70, it's 32K.

It's not important that it get posted, it's important that I learn how come I can't do it and how come JB's bigger photo has only about 6K thingees and my little one has 32.

It's an education issue! :bang:

I'm going to add this title to your other title forthwith. Hope there's enough room for it. :D

There are some prominent holdouts: Bob Campbell (bbcamp), J.C. (jim cordes, moderator), John T., John K., . . . . hey, look around. I don't have a list. I ain't smart enough for that. :D

There are some females out there, too. I'll get to them . . . .

OK, I count approx two dozen posts with "real" pics in them - considering there's a number of multiples (John, Kelly, mine, Rob's kids, Sonnie....& Cammie, I ain't even gonna count your first one :)) seems to me we are still missing a whole lotta pics, yet....

John, mebbe you should be re-thinkin' at least one of RJ's titles....or at least someone should find out what's holdin up Vinnie....

meanwhile, to the prominent holdouts (all still outstanding, I might add), you can also add some prolific posters such as Scooter, Bri, Dog Paws, Chip, Jason (Butler), Paul D, Ron from Toronto, Hobbit (aka Howard, who must have one of the slowest mail carriers on Earth...). Tn's back - don't forget her, and Sue, the missing hostess, maybe even a real pic of da' Man...heck, you get the idea!!

Lookin way back my dad said "Be glad I'm not charging you for the muscle building course!"

My son helped me a lot. First he worked for no pay. Then he found out about the labor board - So I started paying him. Then it must not have been enough, so he went to work with a painting outfit. One day I asked him - Hows work? He replied - Good, except all we do is paint. I replied - That's what painters do! Kids - :bang:

Now he's a union tile setter - Wasn't required to go through apprenticeship program either. I must have taught him something right :) !, or the union's requirements are really going downhill :eek: .

Any way this is a photo album thread - Here goes ....

Picture of me mountain biking on vacation in Florida this summer. You can't quite make me out, but I'm on the right of the bike - on my back, with a branch sticking out of my ear!
