My apologies to anyone who I offended with my “clique” thread. I was out of line. I had no right to come into an established “community” and question your attitudes. There is a wealth of knowledge here not available anywhere else, and I will remain grateful for any information you see fit to share with me.
Anyone have a good recipe for humble pie?

I eat it so often that I don't even use a recipe anymore, just a dollop of this and a shake of that.
It never gets any sweeter no matter how much honey I add.
Don't worry about it Russ. You'll do just fine. (As I thought.)
As for 'a place for everyone and everyone in thier place'... Some people are more secure when that is the case, but I think you'll find most of the people here don't try to make one stay in one's place.
Have fun. Poke fun. Be fun. Enjoy yourself. Maybe you'll learn something, maybe someone will learn from you.
Oh yeah, and watch out for that 'AJ' character, he can be a real @$$hole sometimes.
Mike Smith is probably the best carpenter around here, but he's pretty much of a goofball.
Bill Swales is yuppy who drives his land rover to the corner market, (down the block), so he won't be seen carrying his latest issue of playboy home.
Ralph Wickland is a master of doublespeak.
Doug Hubbard and Rich Beckman are big liars, don't trust anything they tell you.
George W Carpenter raises sheep. He likes them so much that he even allows them in the house.
I could go on all day, but I think you'll catch on pretty quick.
*Apologies are to(o) civil for this place!!!!Not accepted for your own good...near the stream,aj
*not to be ungracious, what happened to my 'Gansett?
*Come to the tavern and buy us a round, always welcome. Bill Swales
*No offense taken here.
*BIG LAWYER!!!!! WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!? LUKA! YOU SON OF A---- Oh wait a minute you said liar. Well that's okay then...Rusty you old potatohead- come on over here and I'll tell you about the time I framed an entire curch camp in three hours. It was rainin' see...Set your clocks ahead. (another public service)B.L.hubcap
*Dude, dude, dude! I'm having a deja-vu. This exact same thing happened to me when I started at Breaktime. I wrote a message, stirred up a little sh@T, then I appologized. Now everybody loves me.RIGHT GUYS!!!!Welcome aboard Rusty!Gaby
*Luka, you've got me confused with Mark Cadioli and his sheep breeding partner, Pete Draganic. The hows and whys of it... well, I digress.Personally, I'm a curmudgeon-in-training.
*We're still out on you. Rusty's OK... but you Gaby? I dunno.
*uh, well...I'm kinda still out on you George. Rusty's in, as long as that cheque that's in the mail(it is in the mail, right, Rusty?) clears.as for Luka: I would like to sum him up in a sentence, but need more info as to species and planet of origin. My best people are on it.
*Good grief Rusty! Never saw an apology before. By bringing such courtesy to this crowd what have you got to apologize for?For Fun, For Survival, Or Not At All.Welcome to the fray.
*Does this mean I have to grow back my beard?
*Durn right.
*Rusty,Don't be buying this hack (me) any drinks in the tavern.Rich Beckman
*Gaby,I read Rusty's first sentence and I thought "deja vu, didn't Gaby post this?"Rich Beckman
*George, You see, I work the day shift with the sheep shaving and feeding them. Mark takes over after dark...I can only assume he takes them horseback riding every night because they always walk funny in the morning when get back in."little bo Pete" Draganic
*Rich, I don't recall offering to buy anyone drinks. I'm not trying to be anyone's "buddy", just get some useful information. And I assure you I won't be trying to give you guys any advice -- what could I possibly tell you about building that you don't already know? :)
*Zing!
*Ok, now he does'nt want to be our buddy. All bets are off. Hell, cyber beer does'nt even cost money!
*Dude!...we're gonna hafta start callin' ya Crusty.
*Something close to it.
*Well, for someone not trying to be anyones buddy he's doing a fine job of it. Cyberbeers cost, what? zero, nada?
*rusty, you're right about one thing, we already know every single thing about building, each one of us. In fact, we just sit around agreeing with each other about all this stuff all the time. It's getting so boring with us being so all-knowledgeable, that's why we EXPECT apologizing newcomers to buy us drinks, so we can get stupid together, and have a flame together.So, without further ado, get your humble self to the "Woodshed Tavern" it's a place in your computer, and start ordering. Guinness will do for starters...Of course, if you really want to make your presence welcome, you could buy some REAL drinks, but you decide--I know you're thinking about it.MD
*No George, I think you've graduated. Anyone wanna take a vote on it?-claire
*Hard to tell whether he gets it by default cause he was the only one in class, or whether he gets it outa pity because they got sick of seein his sorry ass flunkin year after miserable year.Whenever anyone would reply with humility after being addressed as Sir my dad always told them "That's ok, I spell it with a "C" " Maybe he was doin a lil cur-munchin hisself.-pm
*Rusty,Just to clarify: my post was a reply to Luca's post. In his post hesaid:> Doug Hubbard and Rich Beckman are big liars, don't trust anything they tell you.Trying to be clever (and failing I guess) I told you to not buy thishack a drink. Meaning (I hoped) that you were welcome to buy me (not ahack) a drink. The irony is that not buying the drink is closer to thetruth. I am in reality a tea totaller.Oh well.Rich Beckman
*I like tea too.View Imagep.s. glad you cleared that up.
*lol luka and your silly smiley face :)
*Allright Mr. Knowitall, exactly what do you think I'm drinking?
*P.O.C.?
*OK, I admit it. I really am a sensitive guy. I just can't stand the thought of anyone being upset with me. I just want to be nice to everyone and have everyone be nice to me and we can all live together in harmony and...(had you goin', didn't I?)
*Crusty? I like that. I've been called that before -- there must have been a reason. OK, I'll be Crusty from now on.
*LOLCrusty the ClownView Image
*Yeah baby!....YEAH!Now that you can laugh at yourself it makes laughing at others around here much easier. Welcome to the party.Later!Gaby
