I remember in the old days(Good Old) you had skinners making minimalistic, thin border window blinds with a roll up button. Damn few skinners put the roll up button anymore and it seems thin borders are out. One reason most of my blinds are old.
Hum, Dave, wouldn't want to get rid of you. I'm a glutton for punishment.
C'mon Dave, where's yer sense of adventure? Playing it safe in the middle means you're missing out on the thrill of the roller coaster of life and sailing free as a pirate out into that thar free space. So get out yer cutlass and cut yourself free of all those inhibitions.
And yes, I'm old... was there when dirt was being invented, Oh, and BTW, I did notice you hiding in thr bushes copping a sneaky view of your own.
Aw, c'mon Dave, being tied up and unmercifully spanked does not make you a victim No, that's a fetish! But why you'd pay somebody for that beats me. I bet there's quite a few around here who willingly spank you for free - to take out their frustrations - and I'm sure 'Misstress Starone would love to be first in line to administer the first slap. In fact, I'd be willin' ter loan 'er me trusty cat-o-nine tails... if'n ye thinks tha punishment don't fit tha crime.
You know you're getting on when... the pharmacy starts home delivering your meds and vitamins in a 18 wheeler.
and one for the ladies....
You know you're old when... you go to the store to get some makeup and the pretty young assistant offers you a free trowel to apply it.
Hum, never offered a free trowel yet Guess I'm not as old as you are since I didn't even know what a trowel was.
I doubt she needs anything from you to take care of business. Also have a strong feeling she can handle things herself. If for some reason she does need help I hope she doesn't come to you. That may be the end for all of us.
Imagine a WC forum with only starkers and starone on it only. What a mess that would be.
And on second thought, are you sure you didn't mean towel? That would get us both off the hook. Hook, hum, back to fish, a more palatable subject don't you think?
You don't have to be old to know what a trowel is, but if you get one in your makeup kit, you bitchslap that pretty young thing until she says: "I'm sorry, mama, I'm sorry." And being called mama has gotta make you feel better. I mean, it's gotta be a whole lot better than: "Hey grandma, wanna free trowel wiv that?"
I dunno, kid today have no respect, they'll blurt out all sorts of things, somethimes using the stongest language just to get a rise out of you. It wasn't like that in my day. No, if an oldie said something to me I didn't like, I'd wait 'til they turned their back and I'd give 'em the finger.... what they didn't see/know didn't hurt 'em, or me if MY oldies found out, and I went home happy I'd got the last word in.
Seriously, I shouldn't have called them oldies... I'm one now. As for the trowel, I learned about those when I was 14 - 15. My dad was a plasterer/builder and he taught me the trade when I worked with him during school holidays/vacations. It was great, and when I look back, they really were the good old days, being close to my dad, being appreciated for my efforts/the work I did.
Dave, Dave, Dave, what am I gunna do wiv you? I offers me cat-o-nine ter git ye tha best treatment possible an' ye throws a cannonball into tha mainsail an' scuttle me plan. Oh well, if you're not interested, I be shure thars others who'd jump at tha chance.
Yes, fish is one of my fave foods In fact, I pretty much like all seafood, but then my great grandfather was a trawlerman and it was always a part of the family diet, even after he retired in his mid-70's due to sea sickness. It was actually vertigo, something I also suffer with, but he couldn't go to sea with it so reluctantly retired. They don't make men like that anymore, tough as old boots and as strong as an ox.
Ah, the good old days.
Thank you for the intro. Now I'm well known.
Sorry Dave, I couldn't resist!!!
Way to go Barb! That's Dave all over.
So I had a good laugh.
So I'm a Minion now. So you are now on my list. Don't you worry Christine as you never got off my list.
You have to agree, I'm a cute little person.

Where's my You need a bit more bringing down as your head has grown out of proportion. Just trying to make sure I stay on your list. What are friends for. (Oh, and Dave, don't forget Valentine's Day is coming up so you better behave.)
Just so's I get on te list, too, there's just one certainity in the above statement.... "little" The "cute" part is up for debate.... and the nay tean is leading by a healthy margin with just 1 minute to go. The "human" part will require DNA testing to verify the veracity of this. Just remember, a mere 2% Neanderthal finding will exclude you... and given ALL that body/back hair, I'd say there's a very strong chance of that
Hey everybody, Dave could be the missing link... and he's so old he was right under the noses of those scholars of Biblical times who pondered such things. Yup, that age old question could have been answered 2000+ years ago, but Dave didn't present himself cos he was worried about getting poked and prodded in sensitive areas... not to mention his fear of disection. Mind you, I can understand that one. I wouldn't want to watch someone/something getting cut up while I was getting poked in the nether region by Scribes with scribes.... "And lo", said the chief Pharisee: "this missing link is ticklish."
So Dave, now that I'm ON the list I want all the rights and priveleges that goes with is. Don't be sexist and just blow Christine kisses for administering the cat-o-nine just the way you like it. Just remember who loaned it to her, okay?
Yea right. Keep waiting for it.
You have been on the list for years. Right and privileges. You get none. You waist all my time with your long writing. I don't have time to waist as it gets shorter each day and you are wasting it. Isn't it your bed time.
I remember the first time I accidentally hit the rollup button instead of the minimize and I freaked out and couldn't figure out what happened to the page! DUH!!! I was new to windowblinds and I thought my I screwed up my computer.
Well in that case, I'm removing myself from said list. You might think I'm still on it, but in my mind's eye I won't be and will not feel the ban hammer, no matter how many times you use it. For mine, that would have been a privelege, hehe, but that's okay, I still 'aves a couple 'o galley wenches wot knows 'ow ter use a cat-o-nine t' perfecshun.
And no, I DO NOT waist your time. You waste your time by trying to read between the lines for good bits about yourself. Put it this way, if there were any good bits, I wouldn't hide them between the lines, so you're wasting your time. No, if there was anything good bits I'd put it out there boldly, emblazoned right across the post so's people didn't just think of you as a "little" missing link who's ticklish and squirmish about dissections.
Oh, and this "waisting" your time, thing... you wrote it twice. Now am I to assume that you've put on some weight recently and you've got a complex about the increased girth of your waistline? That you're having greater difficulty seeing your feet? That you're having to look in the mirror to see if your junk is still there? Or when you're having a good belly laugh, so much more of you is having a good time? Well welcome to my world. I've only gotta 'think' food and the calories pile up on my waistline.
You're not alone there. First time I did it the panic set in because I couldn'y find the window - well I wasn't looking for just a tiny, thin title bar, at the top of the screen, was I - and Windows wouldn't let me reopen or maximise it from the taskbar icon. No, I had to close from there and reopen it to see where it was.... and then it was still rolled up. Fortunately, I saw it reappear and knew where to look. From there I eventually figured out how to 'unroll' it... not that I'll say how long that 'eventually' took.
Being older, let's just say it took a while. Well that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.
Stramp and Starkers that is so funny on the roll up. Who would have thought that a lil ol button could cause such problems. Maybe roll up blinds should come with a warning label.
WOM loves the roll up button,
Well are you so wrong here. I have been the same weight for 30 years or so. Between 178 and 182. It did go down about 12 to 15 pounds 5 years ago after my wife passed but a couple years later it went back to my usual weight.
All your blinds should come with a warning label. Sorry couldn't resist.
I love them that is why all my skins have them. Remember the old saying. I'm sure you do as you have been around since the railroad tracks were put down. Skin for yourself.
Yeah, WindowBlinds should have a warning if 'rollup' is included. I mean, smoke packets HAVE to have warnings about health risks, and so should WBs. What's that you say, WBs with rollup aren'y nealth hazards? Well you didn't feel my heart racing six to the dozen when I thought I'd lost that window. Yup, there's a potential health risk there alright.
I also reckon they oughta have warnings on ballot papers/at poling stations.... "Warning, IDIOT May Get Elected if Ballot is Lodged Correctly"
That's the diplomatic version... the one that should be posted is: "IDIOT and LIAR Will Be Elected Should You Vote Correctly.:
As you all may have guessed, we have a state election tomorrow Jan 31st... and we GOTTA turn up and vote/get our names crossed off the roll. What a mongel of a way to ruin a perfectly good Saturday morning walk... if one wanted to go for one, that is. Frankly, I'd rather stay at home and turn on the 6 o'clock news to find everybody else had done the same thing., and just couldn't be bothered. But alas, I'd likely get fined for not lodging a completely blank ballot paper... I do that -l eave NO marks - so that nobody gets my vote... none of the bastards are worth it/honest enough for my liking.
Orright, rant off... 'til the next election.
Anyway, another way to know if you're old... you were around for the 1st caveman elections to vote in a leader..
My vote went to Bertha, Big Bertha Butt, one of the Butt sisters. One night I asked her to sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, and she said: I'll sock it to you daddy, I'll sock it to ya... if you vote for ne in next Saturday's elections." So I did.
I thought I would give this thread a wake up call. just wanted to make sure everyone still loves me.
Oh, that was so funny. I had totally forgotten that song!
