This post is just to let you all know that I am NOT going to get drawn back into responding to your post, which is wrong.
Thank you.
Thank you.
CJ is the Man! Just ask him!

blah blah blah...you're distorting...blah blah blah... you're all ganging up on me...blah blah blah....I can't handle the truth, so you are back on ignore....blah blah blah....
If I understand that correctly, I thank you again for another chuckle.
If this keeps up we might become friends. I know, I know, that is more than extremely unlikely.
Maybe that made you laugh.

Sorry to hear about the COPD Neil.
I was just diagnosed with the same so know what it feels like.
I can attribute a good part of that to smoking but I believe the main culprit was working in grain bins that had been dusted with poison. That and unloading at terminals. I remember which day it was that I got the poison. I knew it was in there but it made me wonder how many other bins that I was in where the farmer didn't tell us. That one took me out for about a week. Looking back now, it was the start of where I am at now.
Dust masks just didn't do the trick. If I had have suspected, I would have purchased a better respirator.
My lungs seem to be ok but my air ways are closing up on me. I have a couple of bronchial dilators and so far seem to working not bad.
Anyway, good luck with that.

And here we go, another misunderstanding. Damn Rick, you are one hard person to talk to.
Lots of your posts make me laugh. Last week, I laughed at a midget singing "I will survive" at a kareoke bar. You kinda remind me of her.
I've smoked for many years, but never had a problem until I overdosed on Isocyanate poisoning from foam insulation. That and attic insulating for a number of years did me in. Most days I can still get around some, right now I have a bad chest cold that just flat out incapacitates me until I get over it. Try and stay away from people with colds, and wash your hands a lot more than you used to. Your immune system will automatically be down because of the COPD.
Hey 5'9" is average height & I no longer have long hair nor wear silk shirts & bell bottom pants.
I prefer the 'Eye of the Tiger' theme song by the group Survivor from was it Rocky II or III
Madonna's You'll See sung by Shirley Bassey is good too.
So true.
I actually really like Shake and Bake chicken. LOL
Here's a reference to "Shake and Bake" reminiscing about days gone by, before he passed. Edgar White smiles when asked about the old days and talks warmly of players like Luther Lassiter, Irving Crane, and Jimmy Caras. "I've got a lot of good friends and good memories of a lifestyle that few people are fortunate enough to experience," he says. "I had the luck to know the old greats as well as the new crop of superstars the sport has cultivated."
Here's the January 1981 National Billard News cover with Shake and Bake smiling from ear to ear after he won the Word 9-Ball Pro Am.
How he got his nick name, Edgar says, "A friend of mine, he's deceased now, gave me that nickname about 15 years ago, and it stuck...I was in Arlington, Virginia, in a money game, and I couldn't make a ball. My friend jumped up and yelled out, 'C'mon, shake and bake.' It got me back in stroke, and I ended up winning." :thumbup:
What a smile! No one ever smiled more broadly than the Shaker Man!

Rick and Neil. For two people who constantly have each other on ignore, you don't half natter on.

As far as CJ and this topic goes, if a man sends me six messages asking me to stay in his spare room, I'll find a hotel, thanks.
exactly right!!!
I would revoke your Man Card, but you can't give up something you never had.
Family business
Luca Brasi was a dolt, but looked great getting choked out. Now Mosca was an old school bad ass. You know the type a real loner on the job. Il Duce was a real mean mofo flamethrower, but hard to really fear until the lead was flying. He looked like a kind grandfather.
I think I could have taken Moe Green.

That is so kind of you. I can't make it due to work obligations, but if you ever get back this way, I'll invite you over and cook you a home-cooked meal. I promise it won't be Shake-and-Bake chicken, either. I remember how the Midwest folks frowned on me when I mentioned that I was cooking Shake-and-Bake one night.
Lately, we've been pretty big on Australis Barramundi sea bass. I like it with sprouted germinated brown rice and sauted summer squash with sweet onions. Nice healthy meal! :smile:
How's that?
Sounds great and thanks. Hate you can't make it this time. Enjoy those long work days.

Hey,
That would make a good PM for CJ.
But what does the Pic do for for those of us who have never seen you are the gentleman.
Can you say what you mean in plain language?
Thanks,
Rick
you know you stick your nose in "everything" and have at least 3 on going flame wars minimum at all times. You genuinely seem like an ok guy, but shit you can be one annoying dude
