Many times I read an entry from a member and ask myself, "Gee, I wonder WHERE he/she is FROM?? Usually because what they are saying is contrary to conditions "in my neck of the woods".

So, I click on their name and go to their profile.

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!![V][V][V][V][V]

NO HINT as to location!![:0][:0][:0][:0]

IF you don't want to tell us your street address - ok, but can you at least say WHAT STATE??????? [:eek:)][:eek:)][:eek:)]

OK, I feel better now. [^][^] Does anyone else care about this???

Confussion!? Oh man, is he gonna have a hayday with you!

*puts on best Cav impersonation*
"Well, in actuality, the word you are looking for is confusion...oh...wait...hey!"

[:p]
 
Karl,

Your Cav impression needs work,

He speaks much more slowly than that!!!!

LOOOOOSSSSSSEEEEEEEAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, you know!
 
Oh yeah...the location thing, sorry, got sidetracked. [:p]

I think we should set the site up to default blank location entries to "Texas". I bet people would be scrambling to set that[/] demographic straight...hehe

*ducks the flying horseshoes, empty beer cans and chunks of rusty barbed wire*
 
WAIT! confusion or......

Dang Ed, I'll be glad to add my street address if you'll send me some "goodies", (some of Dawns resins would do nicely as it's been too cold lately for me to cast.....lol)
 
An Alabama man was looking for a place to live, but wasn't having much success. Finally he came upon a farm house, figuring he had nothing to lose, he asked the farmer if he had a room for rent.

The farmer said the only place he had left was the outhouse and that he was welcome to rent it.

The man was grateful and moved in right away.

The next day the farmer saw 2 T.V. antennas on top of the outhouse and was bewildered, so he knocked on the door to ask about the extra antenna.

The man said, "Well, I sublet the basement to a guy from Louisiana."
 
Tom,

It was posted to be serious, but we get off topic easily in threads I start (same thing happens to Cav).

Speak up, I AM interested in serious feedback!!
 
Damn, my snowthrower is down so I take an hour to shovel my driveway this morning. Then, I see a weeks worth of toothaches before lunch, including one guy who was so blinking crazy that he must have huffed copier fumes before coming into the office.

I get home and rest a bit before supper, and find out people who don't know the difference between confusion, concussion and Confucius are trying to talk for me!

You folks don't understand how tough it is to be an underworked and overpaid federal employee!!;) Sometimes I don't think you appreciate me. :D:D:D:D;)

Cav, let us not forget the immortal words of confucis: "What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others."

[:p]

*somewhere in the distance, a gong sounds*



"Ordah up! One Pu Pu platter...you pick up!"
 
Whenever I get a post reply, or see one at another post, and it is a new name to me, I click on it to see who this person is and where they live.
I get a bit pi$$ed - I think it is rude not to show who you are and from where!
 
I must confes, I'm in a state of confision with a concousin from reading about that Chinese guy Conspicuous.
But I agree, put your state in at the minimum. :D
 
Not having your real first name at least, in your profile makes it real hard on those that organize group buys. It is my number one resource to identify who all the payments are coming from. Plus I like using a real name when I e-mail folks. the hey you greating just doesn't get it, but I will use it by default.
 
State Of Confusion
Written by: Ray Davies of the Kinks and recorded in 1983

Woke up in a panic,
Like somebody fired a gun
I wish I could be dreaming,
But the nightmare's just begun.
There's flooding in the basement,
There's water all around.
There's woodworm in the attic
And the ceiling just fell down.
I'm in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
I'm in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).

All the dirty dishes
Are still in the kitchen sink.
The tumble dryer's broken,
Now the telly's on the blink.
My girlfriend's packed her bags
And moved out to another town.
She couldn't stand the boredom
When the video broke down.
Don't know why I feel so bad.
Is it the weather, or am I going mad?
Don't know why I feel this way.
I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going,
Can't cover up 'cause it's obviously showing.
It's a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
We're in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going.

Should feel happy, should feel glad.
I'm alive and it can't be bad,
But back on planet Earth they shatter the illusion,
The world's going 'round in a state of confusion.

Standing on an island
In the middle of the road.
Traffic either side of me,
Which way will I go?
I should've stayed at home,
I should have never come outside.
Now I wish I never tried
To cross the other side.
I'm in a state (state)
State of confusion (whooooh).
It's a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).

Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat,
Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get.
No escape from the state of confusion I'm in.
State of confusion I'm in.
Whooooh

It would be nice to at least see a first name and a state in the profile.

Some of us are showing our age by remembering temptations and Genesis.[:eek:)]

OK, I was close...

Genesis - Land Of Confusion

I mustve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh superman where are you now
When everythings gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -

I wont be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
Were not just making promises
That we know, well never keep.

Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Cant you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands were given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names were given
Stand up and lets start showing
Just where our lives are going to.

Lest we not forget our northern brothern, providence is good too!

Lou you amaze me. Seems like you always have a bit of information on everything.:)
 
It drives me bonkers as well.

As you know from two earlier comments I have made, the thing that really drives me to distraction is not having a listing for members websites for the members that sell things.

Someone will say something like 'this rod from Jim is superb, I also like Mike's'

I started out by trying to go through recent emails to find some idea of who Mike is; that way I can go to the profile & hopefully to the website. Doesn't work.

How about those folks with merchandise use their signature? Is there a way to set that up in the profile?

BTW, I love this site, I enjoy the camaraderie, the sharing of things in one's life, the caring that people show for each other. I am sure it would make a good Phd thesis.

I especially like looking at the countless fabulous pens that are shared.

Ahem, Cav? We'd appreciate it if you would take a little more care in checking for spelling errors. Afterall, IAP does have certain standards that we try to fulfill. Nothing gets my goat more than having an IAP member make a post full of grammatical and spelling errors. How about trying to clean up your act for the New Year???? ;);):D:D

Yes Al, you are right. An inanimate concept such as a week cannot be a possessive, thus there should not be an apostrophe. Still, even without the apostrophe, possession is intimated which is a shameful misuse of the English language. I shall diligently strive to raise the level of my posted verbiage to the lofty heights to which IAP mores necessitate. ;)
