The ...... that don't know any better, I think someone here called them "sheeples". Will read this. Believe like it was God's gospel and commence wheezing like asthmatics. That's how we got into this situation in the first place.
Sheeple is a word I've used for the past 30 years... when I stopped being one.

Can anyone tell me why m o r o n is on the bad words list? I figure if Bugs Bunny can use it in the mid 50s with no problem, we should be able to. A lot of the offensive nature of some words is entirely about context.
.....
noun= informal
a stupid person.
synonyms: fool, idiot, ..., blockhead, dunce, dolt, ignoramus, imbecile, ......, dullard, simpleton, clod

maroon
capitalized : a fugitive black slave of the West Indies and Guiana in the 17th and 18th centuries; also : a descendant of such a slave

probably from French maron, marron feral, fugitive,

as bugs bunny uses it:
someone who is clueless.

Good morning, Porchers!

Anyone who posted a working link to the bad study, could you please break the link!!! Just leave a broken link with spaces in it so the rest of us can edit it if we really want to take a look.

ECF wants only broken links to old debunked garbage so the link won't come up in searches (or something like that).

she was so strong. she never gave up and had such a good sense of humor. one of my sons and i were in the emergency room with her the afternoon before she left us, she asked for something and we both jumped up to get it. she said "whoa boys you don't have to fight over me i'm not the prom queen." thank you all for the invites. i will be stopping in when i can.

Ah, but she WAS, around here, anyway!

Thanks for that, Don, and do stop in :)

Morning Porchers...hope you all have a great day!

If I'm lucky, today is "MH"day...if my GD and a strong friend show up. I've pulled the tv and the desk away from the wall, measured till i'm cross-eyed, used the stud finder tool and marked the spots and so on. Before they get here I'll have to remove the brackets from the board to realign them for the studs, or at least the outer two. The inner two I'll probably measure for the wall placement and then insert a couple of mollies in the wall that coincide...whew...that's a lotta math and measuring and wall marking...oh..and they'll have to hold the piece up high while I use the level to make sure that the piece is straight and then make a pencil line and mark the wall for the wood screws.

But together we'll get er done:D

MH: macrame hanging

Are ya confused yet?

Probably because the of age, but stuck at 12 kiddie cloud chasers use it to call each other names.

Arcane topic, but...

I have a low tolerance for video and audio being out of sync when watching TV. I recently got a Tivo receiver for my DirecTV, but find that the audio is more in sync if I connect it separately with RCA cables to my cheap low-quality surround-sound system rather than listening through the TV speakers via HDMI connection. HDMI is supposed to be the best-quality connection but in this case, the audio lag makes the RCA connection superior because of reduced lag.

you wana HO to Kenna ?
Not this morning. I need to get some lunch made before I crap out for the day. Making my Cold Chicken Ranch Pasta thing. I love this dish! Makes a huge bowl that we'll eat on for a week. It's great for pot luck dinners or things with a lot of people coming. You can leave the chicken out & it's a great side dish. Tis yum!
