Dadburn, Dadgum, Daggone it!!

Free has been right here and I was over on Gmail sending her an e-mail and missed her again!

Dang the luck! Summnagun!

That's more than I've cussed in a long time. Excuse me. Dadblame it.

Well Free, if you come back I just wanted to tell you how really, really happy I am to see you here.

These people have really been picking on me, especially that danged LD. He said I had tiny raisins. Can you imagine!!! Some childrens people ... tiny raisins!!! Down here in Texas they call me the BULL!

Sometimes they put other words with it, but its the BULL part that is important!

Good gosh, I've missed you girl and seeing you here has really warmed the cockleberries of my heart!

Please come back as often as your able! You've got me smiling!!

I've voted through a few contests now and still show 0 as a karma. zip, zero, zilch, nada.

Scale Karma
Effects 0

Is there minimum number of votes before it is calculated or something.

The good news is that when you voted last you didn't loose any Karma. the time before that you were at -6. I think I saw a -12 before that. So you are getting a lot better. just need to work on the deviation now. the last vote you had a deviation of 1.425. so you broke even. if your deviation had been something like .4 you would have gained 3 or 4 points.

Deviation is a tough one. It is how far from what everyone else voted. Or in other words. lets say you voted for every entry, had a good point average, but the one you thought was a 2 and everyone else thought it was a 9 but it is how the points are won or lost if you vote correctly (not just casting one #10 for your fav and leaving, that will loose you 12 points). I vote a lot and don't gain any points because my deviation is off. It's tough. but hang in there. I'll find a link to the voting range. there is actually a tutorial on that there.

Days???? I'm thinking weeks and we all know I never stick around long enough to smell a fart, let alone catch up on weeks and weeks of posts. LOL

I DID see LD posting again...and it made me smile real big. *waves and hugs to LD*

Well SC shoulda known blue wasn't his color to start with. He looks soo much better in red...especially under those streetlamps at night.

I am so glad to see you here Free. *love and hugs* I've missed the old gang. Everyone is coming back one-by-one.

I was wrong to say that you had tiny raisins, T. Truth is, Mrs. T has your tiny raisins. She keeps them in a jar on the mantle.

 

[Free2BMe]

Well TT, you know the saying..."Sticks and stones may......." And afterall, tiny raisins are better than no raisins at all, right? LD's probably just jealous anyway...why else would he care about your raisins? Please don't answer that question if it's incriminating in any way, shape or form.

It feels good to get back here again! I've missed everyone and the warm friendly aura that hangs here.

Everyone sing in unison now...."We are fammmily...."

Well some things still haven't changed I see.

Who the heck stole LD's "LIKE" button?!

@ Oly_r,,,, et al:

I found some good stuff on the Karma. the 1st link is kinda how to vote. the second show why a given pic scores as it should, and the 3rd is a discussion about the voting.

Here is a quote from the 3rd link that may kinda help.

Might be worth mentioning that not receiving karma for voting in a comp does not mean that one has not voted fairly.

In the event of consistently getting minus karma though, it may be time to reassess voting habits.

I think ECF took away LD's "Like" button for calling my raisins "tiny."

LOL, actually, I often have to hit my refresh button when the like buttons disappear. Then they come back. One of the mysteries of ECF!

Oh Free, it is sooo goood to see you here!

"We are fammmily...."

I have to get outside and get my tools together to load in the travel trailer. I hate to give the impression I work hard, but there's no one else around at the moment that I can con into doing it for me.

Wait .... LDdddddd, LDddddddd, where did LD run off to? LD, I need you to give me a hand. I'll point and you get. Okay? C'mon LD. Help your brother out here.

Wow i never saw any of that, all i've ever seen for me was a "0". I did see the .1425 deviation but that is all. I'll be reading through those links for sure, thanks.

Whew! Good Morning Chatter Boxettes!
Pokey, That was a Great Cupa Coffee, Thank you!
That peach pie picture looks just like what I *made* last night. *by Made, I mean, removed from a box & threw in the oven!*
I only bought the peach pie because I found Lactose Free Vanilla ice cream and was so excited, I had to buy a pie to slather with it.
You all talk about Free and how much you miss her...Well, I hardly know Free at all, and I still miss her! She does pop in at the darndest times to spread some smiles around!

Gummy, I am really enjoying that photo site. I don't have much karma yet, but I do have fun voting & commenting. Thanks for linking us all to that.

Have a Great Day guys!
Sdh - still keeping you in my thoughts. I hope all goes well for your family today!

Crap, that is amazing especially when you look at the sources used. I liked the lizard a lot as well.

I guess making your own juice has upsides and downs but it seems it would be a good way to go if you can get your flavor figured out. I still want to try a bunch but maybe after a while i'll look into making my own.

You would just be amazed at how easy it is to do. As so much less expensive to boot. Not to mention that you are able to make it exactly the way that you like it as far as how much flavor, nic, pg and vg.

LOL TT! I wondered where the heck you went! I had just clicked over to read an email from her and when I clicked back here, there she was! And there you went.................. lol

Aweeeeeeeee and a big group (((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))))) too

 

[salemgold]

Think the cops would try to bust ya for having a juice lab in your kitchen? I still feel like I'm doing something illegal if I pull out a REO or Infinity in public...me trying to make my own probably would be criminal. LOL

Why do you think that I live in the middle of 15 wooded acres and my house can not be seen or sniffed out from the road?

 

[salemgold]

And I see that Free made it down to the other parts of VJ too

TV, I am surprised that you don't know Free?
To know her is to love her

I saw some show last week about remodeling man caves (or whatever it was) and one of the guys kept asking the other guy to give him a hand with this or that. Needless to say, the one being asked to help out would always find another worker to do the physical stuff while he stood around and supervised.

NOW I know why you came to mind while watching that show.
