Amazing we all learned English! I think a retired English teacher was bored. THIS IS GREAT! Read all the way to the end. This took a lot of work to put together! You think English is easy?? 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? Let's face it, English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down; you fill in a form by filling it out; an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ? You lovers of the English language might enjoy this: There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP' It's easy to understand UP meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house, and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearingUP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to shut UP! Now it's UP to you to decide what to do with this email.

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She* *writes: Dear Grand-son, The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker .. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting.. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of God!' 'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! **There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!! A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!! Will write again soon, Love, Grandma

You may find that the wiring harness on your standard rider does not have all the connections you need for the extra bells and whistles. So you could end up having to R&R the wiring harness...which I would think is a biggie! At least that is what I was told when I asked here about upgrading my 84 standard. I never did investigate further....I ended up buying an 88VR with all the goodies so I just sold the 84

Most days it seems 00.00 is uphill from here!

When ever i try to print a statement from my bank my computer always crashes. If I open the statements online, it opens a pdf file. I thought maybe it was IE causing the problem but If I save the document to a file, close down all the programs, open the PDF with READER and try to print....the same crash happens. What it is ..... I get a message that says "Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close" or something like that. I end up with my computer not seeing the printer (HP colour laserjet 2600) It has happened many times in the past and I have to delete spool printer and driver files, then into the registry and delete a couple of files. I know how to make it work again...but not how to stop it from crashing when I want to print my bank statements!! I don't understand because I can print other PDF files EDIT: Running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2 IE9 64 bit Operating System Quad core 2.2Ghz 4 Gig Ram

2nd on Skydoc's kit...we gotta support our own! Besides...who else would spend the time on the phone helping install what he sells?

Me too....my wife.....YVETTE!!!!

same thing happens to me...once in a while....out of the blue. Then everything works as it should from that point on. No Idea what causes it...I just go to "today's posts" I live on here anyway so there aren't usually very many "new posts"

sorry to hear that....we don't bounce as good as we used to as we get older! Hope he heals fast and this unfortunate incident doesn't trigger anything else!

AHHHHH!!!!! Had me wondering for awhile there!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

So if I got one wrong (well just couldn't think of the answer) that means there's nut much hope I guess. and yes....the nut part was intentional! I couldn't think of an answer for the wooden leg in California!!!

PG = "Parental Guidance" thats the problem with a lot of these guys.... They've been left unattended for far too long! Or as a reminder to keep it clean....maybe PG is for Proctor and Gamble????

sticky "enter" key???

At one point I think the girl was using it as a portable outhouse. My wife could appreciate that!!! Couldn't help but think one real good crosswind and the guy would end up in the next county!

They generally only flash when the brakes are first applied....then go solid. Theat would negate the fixation/distraction problem. It would drive me nuts if it was constantly flashing....and like I said in an earlier post...that would probably make it illegal.

Gotta Love Monty Python!!!!!

am I not seeing it or is there nothing for 1st gens?

With septic system you have to be careful about putting grease down the drain too. Best way to plug up your weeping bed!

Done....I couldn't figure out what the information the "segment ABCD" question could possibly provide. Just seemed weird!

Just be sure when you donate, sell or get rid of any computer.....make sure you completly erase the hard drive! Not just a format....you need to format it a few times or get a "shredder" type software...otherwise the data can be recreated and if you have any personal info on there....it ain't personal no mo! myself....I destroy the hard drives before I recycle the rest of the hardware. See...you can learn something from watching TV !!! (CSI Etc)

Link on Post 10....Canada is avaiilable from same site.

"More likely a fluctuation or wrinkle in the time/space continium caused by a Romulon warp drive exploding so close to the wormhole! What do you make of it Spock? "Totally illogical!"

Yeah...that's right. the #2 carb has no adjustments. You have to sync all of them to the #2 setting So set the idle to about 950-1000 rpm Open the #2 valve to see the vacume level. Close #2, open #1 and adjust the screw as needed on #1. Then close 1, open 3 adjust to 2, close 3, recheck 1 etc etc As you adjust one, it can change the others...so there is a lot of going back and forth. That's the advantage of a Carb Tune...you can see all at the same time. You COULD use 4 guages...but then you have to be concerned with it they are all identically calibrated or not The idea is that all are balanced to #2 FWIW......It's not MY set up...the suggestion and the pictures I posted actually came from another member who sent them to me to help me when I was asking the same questions you are! One suggestion...make sure you use a heavy enough hose so when it warms up it doesn't collaps under vacume.(like the first one I used did!) Gotta love this site.
