i'm not leaving the boards, but i must not forget to thank all the people that post in response to my ramblings.

it doesn't matter whether you are in agreement with me or not, it's always nice to hear from any and everyone.

i try to mix it up with some humor when i can, and i laugh at all the jokes made about me, good or bad.

i am a very private person. i do not have anyone stop at the house unexpectedly. the people that i like to chat with always call ahead and we find a day and time to get together. something to look forward to on both our parts.

i am lucky i can take part in almost any discussion and take either side and hold my own, which is difficult when i know i don't agree with what i am saying or typing, but i like a lively discussion, and you guys do keep it lively.

the floor is a little further away when i drop something and have to pick it up, and things are a little heavier then they used to be, but the synapses are faster then ever, and i do owe that to both friend and foe on these boards.

this is not a farewell speech, i just wanted to say thanks.

incidently, i am apolitical.

Im not buying it Rick, apolitical. Im apolitical, you sir are not. who you trying to kid, ha...

your friend,

pablo

As I have stated before Rick, you are my favorite foil on this board. I DO think you cross the line of good taste and decorum occaisionally, but you generally make me think out my responses. I enjoy your pics of birds (you rascal, you've made me want another!) and your generosity to myself and Liz will not be forgotten!

Rick, I'm not sure of what you're getting at but there's an old saying that encapsulates my feelings:

"The test of Gold is Fire

The test of Truth is Time

The test of God's love are the heavens above

and everything sublime

Treasures in life are many,

dreams realized but few

But I know the test of God's goodness

is when he gave me a friend like you."

Now snap out of it you old fart.

blood

Even though I choose to ignore many of your posts do I still count in there somehow?! Just joking!

You are a politcal what?

....

Sheeesh. Even when I find a word I do know how to spell, my fat fingers won't let it happen.

....

Rick,

I try not to post politics(I GET MAD), but you are one of my fav. people on this board to read.

i am apolitical. spelled correctly

a·po·lit·i·cal (³”p…-l¹t“¹-k…l) adj. 1. Having no interest in or association with politics.

I think what Rick was trying to say is that his tongue was buried deep in his cheek as he typed his new thread. Michael Moore is apolitical, too.

a man is with a hooker and the phone rings. it's his wife and he starts to have a conversation with her.

the hooker looks up and says how can you have a conversation when i am doing all this for you.

the man looks down at the hooker and says "when i am talking to my wife, i'll thank you to keep a civil tongue up my ass."

Willst Du gute Laune sein?

Kehr bei Rick A Maven ein!

Fritz

danke.
