Fluff was just seeing who pays attention.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Normally I couldn't be accused of paying attention but I couldn't *not* say anything in this instance. I hopefully imagine correctly when I imagine that The Fluffster has a sense of humour.

If not, then I suppose I have done as he/she has indicated and shown what an analpore I can be!!

Busted.


Busted but not broken ....
Proving once again that we are all fallible human beings with an imperfect brain, as much as a few also fully fallible people on Castanet demand otherwise.

Heck, I can't count the number of times that I write something, do my normal proofing, post and then have to hurry and edit the still-remaining errors.
Perhaps because I try and I care, I expect others to. And that was NOT a reference to Flufferufferooni.....it is referring to posts that are so riddled with horrible errors that the poster simply could not care less if it was understandable or not.

Yup. It became very apparent when I was a very young lad working in a nursery, weeding the little trees with a hoe. When you hit a long row, it's a *bleep* of a time.

But, when a slightly older young lad and going to Vancouver when the hookers used to line up on west Georgia, that seemed like a long road to ho! :200:

Funny how sayings that developed in an agrarian society became totally unknown and unrelatable as we moved on.

Do you use a wheel barrel when you ho?
Do you drive it with "undue care and attention"?
If it brakes do you fix it with duck tape"

There is no 'e' on lens.

'Lense' is NOT an accepted variant, nor is it a British spelling.

Right or wrong, it seems camera stores don't care one way or the other.
