POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Hi Steve, I have been watching this post virtually since it started and received no mails about updates to this thread from about the 20 something until this evening despite being online for mail almost every day at some time.

The eighteenth was when I voted

Thanks for the translation, but not sure I understand the English version either

How would I sign, perhaps, "Born to be dim and getting better ?"

quote:

Born to be dim and getting better

Prognatus quod dim futurus questus melior

My siggy was made for this post. Just a bit of nonsense also!

We have essentially hijacked The Lounge hence the quote " But for today this forum will do"

How do you translate that Taz? Was Ninth's hint right, that you did my siggy? I got some bizarre translation from it.

Howdy folks - hey Choo good to see you fella, we all missed your cheery online presence. I seriously can't believe you thought I was one of the girls though, you of all people! What a blow to my fragile ego!

I just popped in to say hi, and now have to leave to take my daughter to her high priced math tutor. (God, kids are expensive!) Sorry I couldn't stay to add to the witticisms but maybe later.

I'd beter be careful otherwise others may believe me if my signature was that

Oh yes, in answer to your earlier question (getting out of synch here), a good Christmas quiet (totally unexciting ), just immediate family.

Goodnight all, nearly midnight here and need to get up before midday tomorrow, grumble

G'night Choo. don't be a stranger.

Ninth, aren't they though! Mine are big girls now. Are you a young pup?

Hi Ninth, And there I was analysing your earlier posts

quote:

I do what the little voices in my head tell me to do

This is the translation of your siggy Miss S.
EGO operor quis parum vox vocis in meus caput capitis dico mihi efficio

I have a limited background in Latin but one of the best online translators is http://www.tranexp.com:2000/Translate/result.shtml

Could I be any stranger, ask my wife

G'Night Choo have a good one!

Thanks Taz. I added it, but left etjhe English too. lol

I think that's what you said before. You saved me going to find it in that jungle back there.

edit- "etjhe English"
What's that you say? LOL
edit/edit- I have my own language.

I just like to bring Madness to the sea of Sanity that surrounds me! Usually it is the opposite way but I have never been a conformist!
Heck in grade school they thought I was a bit special if you catch my drift but then they tested me and found out I was bored out of my skull in the juvenile classes they had me in and placed me in Advanced Classes. From Dee Da Dee to Einstein in one easy sitting.
(Please do not think I am being insensitive to people with special needs, I have done volunteer work before in casual settings)
Just really amazes me that in the Dark Ages of the 60's they could have thought I was a special needs child and could not diagnose Attention Deficit Disorder!

ADD I think I must have that, or isn't it AADD for us ole fogeys? lol Not calling you an ole fogey... or me either. I like how it sounds. I guess I was lucky in my schools until high school. I never had any biology or a second language either. Yet they had me in shorthand and wouldn't let me change to any type of different class. I hated it, and then turned out to be her best student. Go figure. lol Lotta good it does me now... long since outdated. Noone can read my notes, unless I want it readable. O'course, I've forgotten most of it and it all looks like scribbles anyway.

Dark Ages of the 60's... that's funny, yet so true nowadays!

Just looked outside. It's been real foggy and brrrrr freezin' all day. There be's snow! Woohoo!

I really am not sure what they call it for us MATURE people. HA HA
I carried a pretty full load through Junior High up until HIGH school when I turned 16. Crazy Math courses a couple of years of French and Spanish and a year of German and Latin thrown in the mix.
I have forgotten all of the German and much of the French and Spanish but I am fascinated with Latin and while I am far from well versed in it I do remember a bit.
I was in a bad car wreck my junior year when I was 16 and my school work fell behind the Party Work and lets just say I spent some time in the party zone after that until an awakening in 2000 when I dumped my bike in Daytona the first day of Bike Week and spent all of Bike Week with no Scooter and road rash due to my stupidity.
Shortly after that is when I got diagnosed with Adult ADD and I found out my partying all those years was PARTIALLY tie into self medicating the ADD! Not going to blame it all on that because i must admit I had a lot of fun!
EDIT : Yeah I guess AADD is the term! DOH!

I really loved school until high school. Then only parts of it, band especially. I'd somehow gotten through all the required credits fast (not knowing about biology and another language till years later. lol) and I just wanted to be done.
It would be quite helpful to know some Spanish now. I'm an total doofus when it comes to other languages. No matter how much I hear others speaking Spanish, I just don't seem to pick it up. Heck, I should speak it fluently if I did. lol
I had a motorcycle when I was a kid - couldn't wait to get my license! The only wrecks on it were thankfully minor. My Daddy fell over at a stop sign... he was so embarrassed and sad that he dented my gas tank. And he made me let my cousins "play" with it. They popped wheelies, each in turn, and brought it back with the rear all scratched and torn up. I was so mad!
Self medicating, I've never been diagnosed with anything like that but can't say I didn't try a bit of self-medication anyway. Mine was pretty limited compared to most I knew. No, it was very limited. lol I was one o' those 'square' people. Never was one to follow the crowd and had plenty of fun. Still do.

Well Shirley I am in the midst of trying to get an auction together. Enough self-disclosure from me for the night (Believe me we did not even scratch the surface)! I want to get this finished up and go out to shoot some pool.
Keep the complainers about maintenance under control and I will check back in later tonight.

All this self-disclosure. tmi? lol

It's awfully quiet around here.

Hi hi hi hi hi!!!

Boy, gone for 10 hrs and look at all I missed...Glad to see you Choo. We were trying to keep this post alive til New Years (at least) seems it won't be a problem now

I miss all the good stuff when I'm at work! Taz, I would LOVE to see Mcgoos (sp?)looks like my kind of place but you guys know what I'm doing NY eve & NY day??? working But for double time & a half I guess I can put up with it

Miss S & I are trying to come up with another kind of game...oh, I don't know, maybe we can try to guess Choo's name now? (It probably starts with an S)

Any ideas??
Anybody here tonite or am I by myself again
