hydroped Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Mind you, we could always get David to wire the lights in their houses and then we wouldn’t have to look at their dolls anyway. :angry: Sorry David Glen BLOSHBB LOLOL - Hey I'd be happy to help them with wiring - they could teach me lots! LOL Besides guys, haven't any of you learned yet that there's only one way to win an argument with a woman?... Smile and say "Yes, Dear" and if you're really good you'll add in "My angel, my goddess, my inspiration" Sheesh and I'm the one who's single -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Glen, Yeah, but I hadda put my two cents in. I know why they just KEEP ON coming at us though. Women don't have that "built in forgetter" that we do which allows us to just plow on ahead and repeat what we did before without being bothered by the fact that it didn't work the last time we did it that way. And Deb, I think is so quick and witty with such great come-backs we may have to make her an honorary man one of these days if she keeps it up. GRIN! On a more serious note, CuppaTea, if ya have trouble diagnosing a tape wiring problem I would be happy to help you. You may have to alert melissa about it and she'll let me know as I don't always have enough time to read all the forums but she's here every day. She would pass it along to me. And while it may take me a day or so to get back to it, I am certain we can find the problems. It's not hard. And for David... Remember the ceiling fixture in our McKinley that was bad and I had to reorder a new one to replace it. When it finally arrived I tested it in a plug and it worked. No doubt because I was holding it by or near the bulb when I connected it to one of the wall plugs to test. BUT... It too, had a loose bulb and when I installed it and it didn't work I went through the exact same thing you did. I kept checking the tape thinking it must be a bad tape run but it kept lighting the test lamp. Only thing I did better was it didn't take me quite as long to locate it as it did you. But I'm very good at electrical and still got hit by that. It was recent enough that had I not been so busy and noticed your first mention of the problem my questions would have been ... 1 - If you test the tape does it have power? 2 - Did you check the lamp before installing it? and 3 - If it's a screw in bulb or push in bulb did you make sure the bulb was in all the way? LOL! Oh well. I bet you enjoyed finding it yourself anyway. GRIN! Now I'm gonna start dropping all of my pennies and nickels in a jar so I can get me one of them there 16 speed thingies. Hope every one is having a good Friday and has a great weekend. This is the last day of "my weekend" as being in retail the weekend for me always falls DURING the week. LOL! smiles, Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymew Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 EEEEWWWW! I just looked up lemmings on the internet. They're described as "mouselike rodents". Yuuuck! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 1) lemming A member of a crowd with no originality or voice of her own. One who speaks or repeats only what she has been told. A tool. A cretin."Ya think she'll do it?" "she's a lemming, she'll do anything she's told." by tt Feb 18, 2003 2) Lemming A small, short-tailed rodent which lives in the tundra. It is said that large groups of these animals come together every so often to jump off of a cliff. On the contrary, they fall off quite by accident. by Psychic Jack Sep 12, 2003 anomonous (by some who's never been here before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Glen - Thanks for looking it up for me!

glen Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 In the immortal words of Rosanne Conner, " The one who cleans it, owns it!" No matter what is said in the battle of the sexes, if you are the one who does the dirty work( diapers, laundry, dishes, dog-poo, etc) you are the almighty Queen! (and in some instances King but majority rules.) That makes me the king of the house. Now how do I explain that to my wife? If I'm in the house bath time and diaper duty is mine. Baby refuses to let mum near her. Doesn't make me keel like king. :angry: more used Do you get judge Judy over there? I follow the advice she gave one poor unfortunate wretch. I start every day with "I was wrong, I'm sorry and I love you." Does about as much good as a poke in the eye with a blunt stick!

Deb Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 And Deb, I think is so quick and witty with such great come-backs we may have to make her an honorary man one of these days if she keeps it up. GRIN! An honorary testosterone title!!! :angry: heheheheheheheehe Lemme see if I qualify: I held out for the hurtz shifter and the hooker headers in my divorce settlement. My sidearm is a snub nosed .38 and I only use hollow point, high velocity loads. I can put an entire box of shells in the ten ring without stopping except to reload. (and I *never* whine about the recoil) My other personal weapons have included a mini14 and an SKS. My pet right now is a Russian WW2 Mosin Nagant that is so beautiful it'll bring a tear to your eye. But the gun I love the most is a Thompson. I prop that puppy on my hip and let 'er rip! Don't have one of my own, but it's on my wish list. I don't want a repro either. I want the genuine article. I can drink bikers under the table. I can make them blush too. Wanna see a picture of my baby? She's a '71 Nova---street stock, dirt tracker, gen-u-ine detroit rolling iron--and I'm the owner. My driver had to stop racing to raise his grandkids so we haven't run for a couple of years but she's still my baby. I've spent my share of time crawling in the engine and did most of the body work myself. In fact, I love that car so much that when I was painting the team logo on the hood and it started to rain, I didn't want it out in the damp garage while the paint cured, so I brought it inside and put it on my bed (the only space big enough to lay it flat) and finished painting it. I slept on the couch that night so it wouldn't have to be moved. I've had harley's parked in my kitchen and dining room during a hail storm and it was my idea to put them there. So, does that qualify me or should I head on back to the kitchen? <cackle> Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're beyond qualifying Deb, surpassed them I believe. My ma has a very wicked sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. I have a .380, which I like a lot.

He leaned forward and said, "gimme a head shot".........I didn't break rhythm and popped one over the left temple and the next right between the eyes. He let out a rebel yell and hollered, "That's my baby!!". <cackle> We're really a perfect match. My ma has a very wicked sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. I have a .380, which I like a lot.

smallhouset Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Way to go Deb, I love it. Why should the guys have all the fun? One of our first dates was out with some friends of his to go shooting. They thought I'd just sit and watch, no way, I shot everything they had including a 357 Magnum. They were sure I lose it with the recoil. But I held on and had a great time. Body work is fun, especially if you have to weld something back together. I don't think sleeping on the couch for a night while paint dried unusal, I've had a windshield under the bed while we restore his 62 TR3 and a carborator and master cylinder on the diningroom table while we waited for a rebuild kits. terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julygirl56 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi all.... I just spent the last 70 minutes reading the 9 pages in this. :lol: I was feeling really down and you all cheered me up. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Now that I've picked myself up off the floor, wiped the rivers of tears from my face and dusted off the bunny hairs (we don't have a dog or cat), I can add my 2 cents to this. My brother had a G.I.Joe and a Johnny West doll. My 3 sisters and I used to use both of them when we played Barbies. Of course we didn't see too much of Johnny after my brother got the Jane West doll. I actually think that MACHO would be a great name for the guys. (Does make you think of the Village People.) Deb, you'll have to come up with another outfit tho, cuz there are 6 of our "MACHO" men. lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
