No - because you are not all wet!! tah dah;)

See how the IGNORE feature is the exact opposite of the PING LIST?

It’s pertinent. It’s integral.

You have one - you should have the other!

OFF-topic

I have a ? for you. what does :-\ and :-D mean? and is there some resource where I can find explainations for all these symbols posters use?

They are "smilies" and are a way of adding expression to plain text. Cock your head to the left, like you're eating a taco, and you'll see the eyes, nose, mouth...

On certain forums you will get actual smily faces or other emoticons when you type in the right code. Try a google search with the keyword "smilies" for more info.

BTW; If you have questions, I have alot of answers. I even match them up with the right questions sometimes. And I will even throw in some big words that I may or may not know the meanings of, but it makes me sound smart. So who cares!!

Your upbeat attitude is refreshing! I’ll put you on my very small ping list then and maybe you can use one of them $5 words, hehe.

I see that you’ve spent alot of time on that thread Jim started. I gave up after the first two pages. What are people talking about 13,000 replies later?

I haven’t posted on it but if I had, I would have said that many on Free Republic have already embraced Socialism, at least to some degree. I’m having a hard time imagining the United States in its early years, with the small government and all, and each state being distinguished from the other.

Those are "smilies", AKA "emoticons"

I haven’t looked in on it for awhile. I had kept up reading the whole thing but got so far behind that I gave up on that. Now I just jump in and comment on somethings happening at the time. Sometimes serious, sometimes light hearted. Whatever the situation calls for.

I’d appreciate the pings. I am mostly a positive person, but can get worked up over certain issues. I don’t care for maligning the person I am posting to, tho, even if I vehemently(only a $3 word,today’s special) disagree with them.

I would like to be added to your ping list, please, Miztiki.

Note that I won’t have any long, $5 words like upsdriver. If any at all, a dime’s worth is more like it. :-)

Hey, it’s not hard, just make one up, most won’t even know the difference. And if someone calls you on it, act incredulous.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I’ll try it ... and then blame you when I get caught being a fraud pretending to know words I don’t. :-) (Or, is it “portending”?)

BTW, I’m catching up on the 14K-posts thread and the last one I read was yours. I’m having to read it from bottom to top ‘cause the other way didn’t work too well. So many posts, so little time...

LOL!!Yeah, well, I will just portend you didn’t say that!!

Go ahead and blame me!lol!! If anyone attacks me, I’ll just click out and go watch a baseball game. That’ll learn ‘em.

I read that thread from the beginning until 8000 something, then got way behind so now I just jump in and read the latest posts. It’s been an interesting thread.

I’ve always had a horrible memory, so I’ve never been a “big word” person.

You know how we all have a word on the tip of our tongue but just can’t quite remember what it is?

I don’t remember why I had this particular word in mind but I was around 16 y/o and for days couldn’t remember this particular word. I was sitting at the dinner table with my grandparents when it suddenly came to me.

You should have seen the look on their faces when I blurted out “circumcision” for no apparent reason. I’ll never forget that moment!

ROFL!!! That is funny!! I’ll bet they looked at you quite strangely! What did they say? or better yet, what did you say explaining your sudden blurt?
