Grizz, you do look fine in that dress!

 

Yes, that puts me off a bit too if they don't bother to respond to questions on thier own projects. Why post, just to show off or advertise for free ? )

 

JAG, I was just wondering if you had wandered off…. then I remembered your new job.
Hope it is going well for you!!

 

Grizz you do look gay in that dress!

 

Hey Gary, call me when them ribs is done….

Hey Grizzman, Have you noticed that DanCo likes a leopard skin thong? Maybe there's a new trend in town…

Abbott, Grizz is real cute in the red dress and the mukluks and beaver hat. Absolutely stunning. A fantastic fashion statement. I betcha he's wearing a matching red thong too. lol

Mary Anne-
The problem with this job is I have only half a brain due to the toxicity of woodworking chemicals and the 60's…ok mostly from the 60's.
And since this job is a sit-at-a-computer job only requiring my brain and a digit or two, it demands at least a full brains capacity. My brain being half is working double time just to do the minimum. For the rest of my decision making needs I have one of those 8-balls on my desk and if that don't work some Cajun chicken bones to toss.

By the time I get home I'm pretty well done. I figure in another week or so I'll get in a rythm and be more around.

 

I have to second (third, fourth…billionth?) the yeas regarding the positive response. For most of us just starting out, it really makes you feel like you're not out there on your own. First time, I walked into a Woodcraft, I thought my head would explode from info influx. It helps to hear from pros who have made all of your impending mistakes already. Like a bunch of bearded wood Yodas.

And someone needs to open a spellcheck forum. Just because you lost 9 fingers to a tablesaw doesn't mean you have to type like it. That's mostly kidding.

 

tbreland, I have kcehclleps and I still evah elbuort ingspell.

 

Rand the desert heat is afflicting you again sir. To all that hat the Great work posts sorry to hear that some people do not have the time to comment on each part of the project. I only leave short comments and half the time suck at spling that being said I only put nice work on nice work or something that interests me. With the spirit of the thread in mind the internet and or a forum is a nice place to spend our valuable time but life gets in the way of play time once in a while. If someone is a A$$ just dont pay them any attention but if you want to pick up your toys and go away in a huff thats your problem! I like this site and have met and talked to some very cool people from all over the world. Keep the comments nice even when the poster wants you to tear them a new one, just remember they posted it so you can see it since they worked hard on it. This was officially the longest comment I have ever posted and my typing finger hurts now!

 

I like the brothers and sisters here and Martin so I'm staying__ if you guys don't mind that is LOL Alistair

 

I like it here , look but don't touch most of the time..I like a "nice job" once in a while, don't need a pat on the ass every time i sand a plug..and I enjoy that everyone is different, makes it interesting..as far as my short comments, it took me a while to type this, but if you don't like my short comment ..Block me..at least I looked

 

As LJ membership accelerates if is difficult to know if some have left, especially if their posts have been low. LJs is such a diverse interest group of no particular disciplines that appeals to just about anyone interested in "butchering" wood. lol There maybe some folks who might leave to join a more focused group within their particular project choices. LJs is for everyone, no-matter how good or bad their knowledge, skill or projects are, and whatever you think about their project, every one deserves an A PLUS for effort. A1Jim and others on the "welcoming committee" do a splendid job of making newbies feel comfortable and a lot of LJs return very positive comments to projects posted, particularly if the item is within their product range. For me and a lot of others it's a one big WOW - wish I could do that.
I have several LJ buddies who play along with me having some fun with leg pulling and some humorous chit chat, which I hope makes other LJs smile and have a good chuckle.
I have many LJ friends and buddies who all know me for the nut I am, and I have one very special LJ buddy who sometimes welcomes many new members and only posts comments occasionally. He is working on the most awesome project one could imagine and will take "a lot of time" to complete, so sometimes all the work is overwhelming and he gets depressed. Even so he takes the time to keep me focused on my medical problems while I try to get him back into a positive mood to carry on his project. We email and video conference each weekend and he has become the brother I never had.
This should attest to the fact that LJs is much more than a "Wood Club" and a clear case were a "no good woodworker" meets a "superb craftsman", and something very special happens.
I hope others have similar experiences, it's good for the soul.

 

Abracadabra

 

I agree with the Tom1's post. Why should one need to account for leaving or joining for that matter? Do we need to ask permission to go the loo next?

 

Rand, you have your glasses on backwards again…

 

Hey Guys:
I don't think this post was about members giving reasons they are leaving or anything to do with permissions at all.
My posting was to portray a very positive experience I have found at LJs and that more than "woodwork" is available on this site for those in need. Most LJs are adult enough to know that there are other factors behind the woodworking projects, especially those who live alone like Patron and it is NOT wrong to mention them.

 

I'm going for lunch, be back soon.

PupLev:
I can recommend Grizz's Kraut and Sausage for lunch. Just don't have any naked flame around in the shop this afternoon and you'll be fine.

 

I'm not leaving, but GEEZ!! There is so much by so many it might look like I'm gone)

 

Alright, alright everyone. I was just sayin' that in my wee little nut brain I like someone to say something more about my project than nice job. I know it's a compliment and I do appreciate all comments and compliments on my work. I was not trying to bad mouth A1Jim AT ALL. I just felt at the time, after viewing many projects and seeing "nice work" so many times how nice it would be for anyone who chooses to comment to maybe say a little more that's all. I can say that I too love this site and I don't want to rangle anyone as this is a one of a kind site and it's members are great too. I sincerely apologize to all who were offended by my comment and from now on I will try to be more generous and not so damned grumpy. I don't want to start a frakas<sp> because I was having a bad day and said something I shouldn't have. I was just sayin' that's all, really.
~Danl

 

Dan we all have bad days on here and in person we all say some things on the spur of the moment and after we say to ourselves did I offended someone?
Most of the time no one is offended this is an open forum to all and we all do our best not to hurt anyone but sometimes it comes out in a way that people take it wrong, we are all human.
At no time this thread was started re: A1Jim but somehow it made a turn which often happen in comments.

 

the more time i spend on lj's the less time i spend in the shop.

 

Nice work!
