Since, the forum appears to have no permenent webmaster, I suggest that in case of a crash, which could last a long time, we invade some other forum, like JLC, in mass. We could take it over.

I usually do go over there when this site crashes, but it's hard to find many friendly names. And they have slightly narrower guidelines as to what constitutes "on-topic" discussion. - jb
*Great idea Mike , it'd be a peice of cake . Breaktime has more traffic in one hour than they have in a week . I'm surprised that there isn't more crossover . JLC's a great magazine but this web site has there's beat hands down . Chuck
*. . . then again, maybe we could all go outside and smell the roses, get a life as-it-were, maybe eveni get a lawn. . . chair!!!-pm
*JLC has plans to revamp their site. I visit there from time to time myself. They have a very good forum for Quickbooks also.
*What's JLC?Ed.
*Good points, but I think Mike's planning more of a hostile takeover... or the "Animal House" approach. (Every party is a Toga Party!)
*Journal of Light Construction... if you had a two-holer for an outhouse... this would be on the other nail. http://www.jlconline.com
*...right after I started here, we had a prolonged crash. Lawrence Winterburn e mails me to meet him at some "sleepy little woodworking site" so I did. I log on, and he's already been there, and announced that a bunch of belly scratchin' carpenters were in need of a site, on account of ours bein' broke down, and would they mind if we used theirs for awhile. Well this place was for hobby type folks. I mean, they were talkin' about buildin' BIRDHOUSES and stuff! So I log in as "Roberta Young" or some wise crackin' thing like that, and before I can say "time warp" I'm in a discussion with some well intentioned gal about SOAP BOX RACERS! Remember those, from Cub Scouts? Well, she is tryin' to get info 'cause her hubby and son are buildin' one. And all these memories come flooding back, and I'm tellin' her about puttin' some fishin' weights in the nose to get momentum, and how we used to build real soap box racers as kids and race them down the big hill, and I realize I had logged in as a WOMAN!So, quick as a cat, I sign off and vow never to go anywhere except around all you rude SOBs, cause "water seeks its own level". I sure hope they get the problem fixed here, 'cause this is where I'm comfortable. - jb
*now then, young Jim, any other sites you've logged into as a woman? Come on, share wit yer breaktime buddies. it's okay. We won't laugh at you, much. in fact, when you start heading out to the job site in a saucy little lavender outfit, just login, and we'll help you accessorize. I'm thinking steel toed pumps, nice little bag big enough for a cordless paslode. Just wanted to let you know, we're there for you buddy.
*JLC? Revamping web site? Sean leaves FHB? Do you think it's coincidence? Hmmmm.....
*JB and Adrian, thanks for the good laugh. Much needed after this day.
*Mike: I don't know if they are set up over there to run pictures of people cutting their digits off.
*That sleepy site is the woodworking forum at That Home Site, which is a part of The Virtual Mirror. The webmaster is Spike Hernandez. I couldn't find the posts by Roberta though.
*Here it is: Mind if we use your forum?
*Jim, "Slightly narrower guidelines", man, you're generous! We got busted at that place for barely laughing! As for that story about the other site, damn near fell outta' my chair. Reminds me of a time I'd borrowed a woman friend's car for a quick jaunt somewhere. Couldn't understand why all these guys kept looking at me funny. Well, after getting out of the car and looking it over, I noticed one of those yellow diamond signs hanging in the window. "Wanted: good looking stupid men". Well, I don't know about the "wanted" and the "good looking" but the "stupid" part sure applied. Sam
*...well, there was that one time, at Mardi Gras...BUT EVERYONE WAS DOIN' IT...oh yeh, and there was that time at the festival in Rio, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER HEMISPHERE...oh...and that time in Berlin, BUT ANYTHING GOES IN BERLIN...oh man, I got myself in a mess this time...
*SamD! Where ya been, bro? Coulda used your help the other day, Andrew was bad mouthin' worm drives, then somebody said a kind word about F*rd trucks! Enjoyin' the weather? Nice to have it cool off, huh? Man, what was it 2, 3 days in a row above 80? - jb
*Gee, I reaLLY LIKE THE LITTLE STARS 'N STUFF, it's just so gosh darn cute. . . waaay to wholesome for this crowd though, cripes they'd probably want us to wipe our feet at the door, and take our hats off. . . too many rules, I can just tell!!!-pm
*Patrick,If there weren't any rules to break, how would we amuse ourselves?JonC
*Jon. . . uhhh , by baiting Joe, or Fred or Gabe???-pm
*You devil.Iconclasts of the world unite!JonC
*Jim, Busier than a multi-peckered billygoat around here, trying to get the house sided before the BIG rain sets in. No kidding about the weather, it was plenty warm for us west-coasters and it's certainly nice to have it a bit cooler. Did you guys get the killer lighting & thunder? Wild! I did make a couple of comments about that "sweet running V-6" of yours coming up from JonC's (I think that was it?) but I musta' missed you. Now you know how I feel about F***ds...:-) What's this? Andrew dissin' the 77??? Better get on our high horses and have a talk with him! Speakin' of the 77, it's getting a workout this summer.... I was down your way last week but it was a quick trip- there and gone. S.
*Um, Andrew who?
