hey … why does the ….
“what size copper supply pipes”
thread come up each and every time I do a search?
Really annoying.
while we’re at it … I’ve sent several emails …. every time I do the “new to me” deal when checking in … I get the “counting the bodies” thread from months ago.
How do I fix and sto both from happening?
Anyone else have weird threads chasing them around?
This new system is sooo much better …

Yeah, i always get the copper pipes when I search, too.
The search function really needs some help. Wish I could figure out how to use google in here.
Wouldn't it be nice to have tools that worked like this forum?
Pull the trigger twice to turn it on, etc.
you still try to use the search function?
After all this time you're not familar with the "search" function and it's infameous nature?
Who ever invented work didn't know how to fish....
I've never had the copper pipe thing show up during a search. But the search function sure sems to be a hassle. I probably find what I'm looking for about 3/4 of the time, but only after repeated tries, changing key words, etc. It's as fickle as a woman.
I also have a thread that shows up every time I do the "unread threads to me" thing. That happened once before, a few months back. But I thought they had it fixed.
Remember men, you are fighting for the lady's honor, which is probably more than she ever did.
>It's as fickle as a woman. I probably find what I'm looking for about 3/4 of the time, but only after repeated tries, changing key words, etc.
You only find what you're looking for 3/4 of the time? Repeated tries should be fun, but should be able to increase your success rate.
I want to know what key words you use for repeated tries on your fickle woman. Maybe they'll work on mine. My sucess rate could use some improvement.
;)
I can never get any results when I search for information about sizing copper pipes. Tell Jeff to send my mail back to me - and quit openning stuff adressed to me.
Finally, if you would read that thread, it would quit showing up as unread mail, wouldn't it?
the whole thing is a gas! I don't think I get what I'm searching for more than 40% of the time overall..
Excellence is its own reward!
when I look for the search function I can never find it.bobl Volo, non valeo
That's because you're a newlywed..
Excellence is its own reward!
I've read thru that damn thread about 20 times!
tried fast ... slow ... close after each post .... scroll thru the whole thing ...

I searched for frilly panties and that damn copper pipe thread still comes up.
Edit:
On the plus side, the bad word filter seems to have lightened up. Anyone want to test it out?

"I want to know what key words you use for repeated tries on your fickle woman. Maybe they'll work on mine. My sucess rate could use some improvement."
Here's some advice from the Car Talk show...........
Women's Key Words and Their Meanings
"Fine": This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but at this point just want you to shut up. Never use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.
"Five minutes": This is really half an hour. It is equivalent to the "five minutes" that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.
"Nothing": This means something and for that you should be on your toes. Nothing is usually used to describe the feeling that a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. Nothing usually signifies the beginning of an argument that will last "five minutes" and end with the word "fine."
"Go ahead" (with raised eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "nothing" and ultimately end with the word "fine."
"Go ahead" (normal eyebrows): This means "I give up," or "Do what you want because I don't care." You will often find a raised eyebrow "go ahead," several minutes later, followed then by "nothing" and "fine," and she will talk to you in about "five minutes" when she cools off.
Loud sigh: Though not actually a word, it is still a verbal statement very often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "nothing."
Soft sigh: Again, not a word, but nevertheless a verbal statement. Soft sighs are one of the few things that some men actually understand: She is content. Your best bet is to not move or breath and she will stay content.
"Oh": This word followed by any statement means trouble. Example: "Oh, let me get that." Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night." If she says "Oh" before a statement, RUN‹do not walk‹to the nearest exit. She will tell you that she is "fine," as she tosses your clothes out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at least two days. "Oh" as the lead to a sentence usually suggests that you are caught in a lie. Do not try to lie any more to get out of it, or you will get the raised eyebrows "go ahead," followed by acts so unspeakable that we can't bring ourselves to write about them.
"That's okay": This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. "That's okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for whatever it is that you have done. "That's okay" is often used with the word "fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "go ahead." Further alluding to some point in the near future, after she has plotted and planned, when you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
"Please do": This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance by telling the truth, so be careful, and you may not get a "That's okay."
"Thanks": A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say, "You're welcome."
"Thanks a lot": This is much different from the meaning of "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks a lot," when she is actually ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by the loud sigh. Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the loud sigh because she will only tell you "Nothing."
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.
Knowledge is power, but only if applied in a timely fashion.
That is really good. I love those Clapet Brothers!
My wife is a woman of few words. For that I am truly thankful, having met many women who are able to use many words all day long and still say nothing.
But she has a large vocabulary of sighs. The above list barely touches on the possibilities. As the Innuit and Eskimo have dozens of words to describe the various kinds of snow, My wonderful (she might be looking over my shoulder now) and beautiful wife has an infinite list of ways to express her felings when she combines the variety of sighs at her command with a large number of diverse eye movements.
These meanings can range all the way from, "If you value your life or sanity, you are well advised to leave my presence immediately" all the way to, "This is the most powerful, fulfilling, and pleasureable sensory experience of my entire life.".

Well, this convo went right down the toilet.
Yeah, it haaad such great potential for finding great information.
Excellence is its own reward!
I get the copper pipe thread as well.
I've found the search to be pretty useful when I'm trying to find old threads. It's not always exhaustive but always better than my memory...
I get the copper pipe thread as well.
See .. that's part of the problem. This new system is helping spread bad info ...
copper pipe should be soldered .. not threaded!

Can I reference this thread the next time someone asks a question and gets the heavy sigh-implied "if you would just search the archives it would all be crystal clear" reply?
no, that spoils the funbobl Volo, non valeo
search works great for me....but then again...Im always searching on what size copper supply lines I need.
Excellent shot!
Hey Unc, Boulder CO's my favorite place. Went there to check it out for a permanent move recently. Loved it but to cold in the dark months. Camped in Estes. Loved it. Please move it south....if you can of course. The thin air really can play tricks on the old (young in my case) mind. Breathing troubles....from the altitude or the Marborols.
Well I'll tell you, I've lived in Montana, and the winters in Boulder seem pretty bearable after that. I might move as far south as Trinidad, but only if I could move another 4,000 feet up the moutain. I think the only thing I'd like better than living in Boulder is being a nomad and following the mild weather north and south throughout the year.
