I passed my series 6!!!

Congrats!

[RobDog888]

...
I also remember pages of cat threads, a few game threads (what was that called? All I can think of is Urban Assassins, and that's not it), and lots of nonsense...from a bunch of people who were a whole lot younger than they are now.

Face it: We're gentrifying, and your post is just part of the gentrification.

Wait! If CC is gentrifying then shouldnt we have more cats?

Cool. Good thing you took it series-ly.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It does seem like it.

I'm no social media person. This is all the social media I do. When I started, FaceBook was a couple years in the future. Even MySpace was in the future, though not far. Back in those days, there were loads of young, or relatively young, people on here (mostly guys, but there was OceaneBelle and Hairball) chatting. The folks still in here now seem to be older. Heck, I seem to be older.

The tone and pace of CC has certainly slowed over the years. Partly, it may be that people are aging, but that's only an issue if there is no next generation. However, it might be that back when CC was young and hip, it was also the only game in a town now shaded by a looming colossus.

That picture made me think of Poppa Mintin immediately for some reason. Must be the eyes, or my mental image of him.

Is that a cat? I know it's an ine of some type, just can't say whether fel or can.

[NeedSomeAnswers]

I passed my series 6!!!

Congratulations Dday

[dday9]

Thank y'all for the congratulations. This was my last hurdle to keep my captive insurance contract with the company that I represent, so this is a huge relief off of my chest.

[Shaggy Hiker]

For some reason, I thought this was the cat thread.

[dday9]

If I didn't pass my series 6 it could've been a cat-astrophe

[Shaggy Hiker]

We have an award that is given out every couple of years that goes by that name. The trophy is the back end of a bobcat mounted on a plaque. At one point, it had a ribbon tied around it's nads, but that has been removed.

[RobDog888]

Oh I must be slipping as if I was on my toes you would have not doubts.
Perhaps because I have a bad cold for days now and cant shake it

[Shaggy Hiker]

Cat got your tongue?

[dday9]

That pun was purfect.

[RobDog888]

I dont see what you guys mean. Eyes are red and puffy from the "how to prevent eye infections during the winter thread".

[Shaggy Hiker]

Sounds like you should be following some of the advice from that thread....or not.

[RobDog888]

The OP never posted their spam so I have no remedy for protecting my eyes from infection in the winter (

@Homer - Have you seen this yet: http://www.cleveland19.com/story/356...e-in-brunswick

[RobDog888]

Think today will be my last day of being sick. Almost well!

[szlamany]

Boing sick?

Or did you spell that wrong and you meant bong sick?

[RobDog888]

being Forum software spellchecker doesnt have a correction spelling suggestion for boing to being, lame!

[dday9]

When I'm on Chrome, I exclusively use Grammarly. However, Grammarly recently decided that it was going to correct non-gender neutral words such as congressman and salesman, which I find hilarious (but I still use it because the service is good).

[dday9]

This is my first tropical storm type weather that I'll experience with my children.

[dday9]

The eye is passing right over Lake Charles and I live just west of there.

[dday9]

This is also my first tropical storm type weather that I'll experience as an insurance agency owner.

[dday9]

We're under a moratorium right now...

[Shaggy Hiker]

I just figured you were on the rebound.

[Shaggy Hiker]

This is only a tropical storm, though. It won't have a defined eye, and the winds aren't all that much. I have seen incredible amounts of rain out of a tropical storm, but otherwise they're kind of unimpressive. If your house is damaged by one, then you had an issue just waiting to show up.

Tropical storm Gordon hit me three times when I was down in the Florida Keys. It first passed through the Florida Straits, dumping something like 8" of rain, with enough wind to keep me in the office. It then got out in the gulf, turned around, and swept back across South Florida dumping a further 11", or more, only a day or two after the first pass. After that, it went up to the Carolinas, turned into a hurricane, swiped the outer banks, dropped back to tropical storm status, and turned back SSW to sweep back, and dissipate over, Florida.

[dday9]

Even though we're where they defined the eye will pass, the bad weather is always just to the east. My wife's family down in the Houma area are already getting hammered.

[Shaggy Hiker]

So early in the morning????.....oh, wait, you meant by rain, didn't you. Now I get it.

[dday9]

Well...

[Shaggy Hiker]

HA!

Bummer...too short.

This I did know

[RobDog888]

96 degrees for today. Guess its time to get the ac in my stang working again.

[dday9]

I thought that you had a newer mustang?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I need it to be hot down there for a time. I'm hiking through the high Sierras in late August, and it would be good not to be walking through too much snow.
