We're Shopping Tomorrow...

I'll get you all some pictures: I promise!
But Friday evening we were picking apples in our tiny 4 tree orchard, and I took a nine-foot backwards fall off of a ladder...
As near as I can tell: I smacked down hard over just at the base of my right shoulder blade. My head didn't make any dents in the rocks, so I think that it never did anything to break my fall...

So I feel like crap, and I think that I've got a busted rib or two (No emergency yet...) I'm sort of taking it day by day with the pain.

But we DID set up for some driveway camping! [/QUOTE



_{Geez Bob, been away for a few days, come back and see that you've taken a backwards swan dive off a ladder! Bubble wrap.....I'm thinkin' a BIG roll of bubble wrap. My Honey fell off a ladder last year - - it seems he thought it was better for him (69 years old) to get up on a 2 1/2 story roof instead of the younger (35 yr old) EMPLOYEE that he told to HOLD THE LADDER and as he was falling - he heard said employee TALKING ON HIS CELL PHONE...... I still don't know how he managed to walk away with only a a few sore ribs and a H-U-G-E bruise that covered one side of his body, but he did. Needless to say, we had, shall we say, a long conversation (okay, more than a "conversation") because this was what I really wanted to do to him) and it was mutually agreed NO MORE CLIMBING ON LADDERS. Said employee, by the way, was "promoted" to "shovel operator" for the remainder of the summer.} And that's what I wanted to do to him, too - - MEN!!!

_{But seriously, congratulations on FINALLY getting the new toy - - man, that's quite a rig! And what a story; but I'm sure it will all be a worth it when you're traveling and enjoying trips during the upcoming fall season. Hope you're on the mend and ready to "ROLL."} So _{NOW, you're in waiting mode AGAIN for the "other" new toy!} But once you get the F3, you'll be set! ​Drive it in good health!!!


_{(Sorry to hear about your Dad and his health. Both my parents are gone now - Mom passed in January and it's been a blessing she's no longer suffering, but hard because your Mom is the first person you loved. May God bless you all.)}

Another request from a vision impaired reader. I already have the screen size set to 125% and have much difficulty trying to read. One look, and I gave up on this one. Sorry.

Easy Rider did blow it up for us...

I am much appreciative--because I am in a lazy mood this AM. Got woke up by my cellphone for a call from a person that I don't know. My track phone makes a loud announcement prior to the call that I can no where find the answer to shut off. That's what I get for buying a cheap phone.

On on a previous thread a member insisted I was yelling due to the fact that my posts are done
in a large font size.
but as I had stated many many many posts ago, i use the large font for all the older eyes.

Your font is GOOD. If you were "yelling" you would have to add the bold as in "font for all the older eyes." Just a nuance of posting.

That was my comment. If folks are THAT vision-impaired maybe they should consider having someone else drive.

BTW, I'm 70 years old...don't need to patronize me.

[Easy Rider]

That was my comment.

And it was totally unnecessary.
It accomplished NOTHING useful.
In fact, it caused some friction.

I would never patronize you

Goodness, gracious me. If we eliminated all the posts that I consider unnecessary, including yours, this forum would hardly be recognizable in its present form.

See what I mean?

[vided]

No, what are you trying to say

[UtahPete]

No, what are you trying to say

I'm saying ... if you're going to use large font, don't go blaming it on someone else's supposed vision problems ... just own up to your choices

Sorry for him hijacking your thread, Bob

[UtahPete]

Sorry for him hijacking your thread, Bob

As President Reagon would say "..there you go again..." , being patronizing. If Bob feels I'm hijacking this thread, which has been off-topic for a very many posts now, then he will let me know and I will respect that. But, I don't think it's your place to decide what is and isn't appropriate.

[Bob Denman]

"Bob" finds the larger fonts easier to read.
"Bob" realizes that perspective is useful in figuring out if someone is yelling; or just like larger fonts.
But "Bob" also wonders what all of the fuss is about?

It's just yet another egotistical pissing contest.
"Full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING."

[Bob Denman]

These threads should be considered as organic: they're going to develop however they do, and there's no set of rules that can change that!
If anybody needs me: I'll be on Patrol!

A side bar about font sizes...? Developing into a testy discussion...? Another slow day at the website? I was just saying the small sizes were hard to read for me even at my current magnification of 125. I guess I will just suck it up and increase the magnification if I need to read another small font post. Sorry guys and girls.

I'm fairly new here and one of the things I realized right off is how you frequently interject a comment into a discussion, one that contributes nothing to the discussion other than tweaking others and then turning the original discussion into something different.
Self control issues?

It all works out in the long run. We bicker a bit--but still get along in the long run. Each person makes the site what it is.

It's kind of like this...

WHAT Did You Say.jpg

[LateLifeCrisis]

I guess I'm having a "late life crisis" because I can't READ any of your post.....except the graphics.

If you MUST screw with the font size, please don't make it so small.
Thank you.

Don't know what's going on - - HELP!!! What is the "standard" FONT size?

[Bob Denman]

I think that most stuff is done in "2"...
But I have trouble with anything less than "3", so I just grab my magnifying glass...

[vided]

Font size 5 is my choice ​
