JonSchwertFechter: what is maximum file size to post image/picture file on forum.. need to know soon.. thanks Aug 28, 2024 23:27:30 GMT
Roscoe57: After a year of use this Tuoyuan is my favorite mat cutter. Cuts with ease. Aug 27, 2024 20:30:15 GMT
Ouroboros: He was in awe of my recipe--tried it with explosive peppers...the rest is history Aug 20, 2024 20:28:00 GMT
mrstabby: yeah, and if you go up to the original pose, deleted. So a deletion doesn't go into the quotation marks, good to know. Aug 17, 2024 19:37:26 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: @jitte, he was quoted in the recently updated hot pepper thread. Aug 17, 2024 19:27:40 GMT
mrstabby: Must have been on purpose though, else he would have been back, no? I didn't get why we should talk about the plant....The singer you moron! Took me longer than I would like to admit.... :D Aug 17, 2024 9:11:18 GMT
AndiTheBarvarian: We could start a thread about Poppy to lure him back. Aug 17, 2024 7:41:37 GMT
mrstabby: I don't know how I got the name so wrong, it was "jitte", looked like he was in the middle of posting and suddennly was gone, just weird Aug 17, 2024 6:26:08 GMT
Sir Thorfinn: Ah, those come and go. We see a lot of promising folks, burn bright and go away.... Aug 16, 2024 20:02:34 GMT
mrstabby: no, it was a new account, a month maybe. Aug 16, 2024 19:25:20 GMT
Sir Thorfinn: IZZY maybe? Aug 16, 2024 19:17:37 GMT
nerdthenord: that's odd, thanks Aug 16, 2024 14:42:14 GMT
mrstabby: ceri-something, one second was editing a post, next second whole account was gone. Aug 16, 2024 13:29:47 GMT
nerdthenord: who was it? Aug 15, 2024 19:23:13 GMT
mrstabby: Hey, did he do anything and got booted or delete himself? Aug 7, 2024 9:23:40 GMT
Deleted: The cane I have is a 37" hickory with octagon shaft and a 5.25" opening from end of crook to shaft. It is very light, quick, easy to handle and you could work it like Poppy does in the video. Everybody wants to be Poppy. Aug 7, 2024 5:56:06 GMT
