    Okay, I, instead of adjusting to -4 hours as it says to do...I adjusted to -3 hours and now it's off by 5 minutes.

    Now if I could just adjust the time this site allows for editting...that would be a good deal. I get more petty comments than you would believe because people think I'm changing what I'm saying.

    I proof before posting, but upon re-reading after posting, sometimes I find misspellings, or I've left a word out, or my sentence structure doesn't flow like it should and I do a quick re-write so I will be more understandable. Nevertheless...it's better now than it used to be.

    I'm going to try really hard to not edit...or just add a new post with the correction. Then maybe people will get off my back about it. Do you know I had someone the other day quote my post and edit all my misspelling? Now I ask you...was that nice? I don't have spell check...I think I spell pretty well on the whole.

    Eh Boy...the things people get their knickers in a twist about truly amaze me. As my mother used to say "Some people are happy to be unhappy" And I like to add to that..."Some people are happiest when they can make someone else unhappy" as for me...life's too short for that.

    No offense...but I get this much more from woman. Men are usually less into the triviality of life in most cases. An honorable quality that. [​IMG]

    Laurenda, the reason someone did that was becasue you made remarks about my mispellings, which were becasue of the really serious computer problems I was having, wich eventually I couldn't even get on line becasue of them. At that time my cursor was jerking around,a dn not filling in the letteres I was typing for several minutes. You accused me of being mad and upset adn the rpoof was my spelling errors. The other person was point out your own mistakes in you accusatory post, if thats what it meant then you were also upset and angry.
    So now that we've got that cleared up.
    Lets start on your knickers. Still twisted?

    I have a perfect command of the English language, but dyslexic fingers...can't remember wot excuse I used in university....oh right, I told the prof that I was English in an American school. It worked for awhile.

    I took my fingers in for counselling and everything straightened out.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Thanks, Sherrie, I'm doing much better. Wives shouldn't get sick at the same time as husbands.
    :(

    Dang Nabbit! I just know that I posted somethin' here a couple of hours ago but I can't find my post to save my life!! Its here somewhere--but maybe not!! We were in the middle of an electrical storm and I was postin' and "thought"--well, maybe I didn't think--anyway--nobody here--??? Am I speakin' to a wall or somethin'?? Is somethin' wrong with Blackbird that folks ain't writin'?? I know it ain't my deoderant!! Are ya'll talkin' about me in front of me again?? My IQ is havin' a "Macular Degeneration"?? Its all fuzzy where ya'll are!! Speak to me??!! Of course, it could be the use of my Proper English---other people use slang and stuff--but not me!! It could be that my Knickers are in a twist!! I don't know what it is about tonight--I need to see a doctor!!

    Get your family well soon!

    Your buddy,

    jonmagee--unlike the Barbershop(which hasn't had any of my business in 20 years!!!)--this coffeeshop is open 24/7!! The cash register is empty--stays empty--nobody gives the customers a bill and nobody ever pays!!

    Now, if we can just get the little waitress' attention---"M'am! This is jonmagee from Scotland and he's about to preach and he's a little nervous--he needs coffee to . . .!"

    Ya'll ain't gonna believe this---but I need to tell ya'll so that ya'll will know--ya'll remember last week when Blackbird wanted to open up a baitshop--actually it was gonna be a Bass Pro Shop---no mess, no stink, no live bait like crickets and worms--somehow it upsets Blackbird so much when he reaches into the bait shop's refrigarator to grab a "cole-coler"(cold coke) and there's that frazzlin' box of worms--"crawl daddy's"--anyway,

    Here's the proposal--I went to the local tractor shop to hunt for me a part for my tractor--and there--right in the middle of the shop was a coffee pot and cups and condiments---now, here's the proposal--

    I've noticed there is a little corner of the coffee shop here where we got rid of the "Juke" box--nothin' worth listenin' to, so I just hauled it off--hope nobody minds---anyway, back to the proposal---the corner of the shop would be ideal for a tractor parts counter---bearings, bushings, bushhog parts, grease and other lubricants in five gallon buckets---what' chaw think?? Hey, it sure would beat a beauty salon, won't it?? I mean, bearin' grease smells a little bit better than that perm stuff ya'll throw on ya'lls hair, don't it??

    Your Southern Baptist preachin', tractor parts counter proposin' buddy,
    Blackbird

    Since nobody seems to object to the tractor parts counter idea . . . it would seem to me that I can have the go ahead to put it in, right?? Bright and early tomorrow mornin' I'll have a crew come in and start . . .! Ya'll are gonna have to stop me--say somethin'! Although I believe with all my heart that this venture cannot fail--its another "win-win" situation--there's no "Catch 22" involved!!

    I forgot to drop around and say hello. Happy Sunday to everyone, and God bless.

    It is a lovely sunny Sunday here, and warm. I can finally take my flannels off, but still need a jumper.....the black flies are thick as jam, but I guess they have to eat too.

    Tractor parts, hmmmmm


    Cheers,

    Jim
