LISTEN UP HERE.

You don't post on the forum and then pick up the phone.

You don't say, well, after I get back from the john. Get that email off to unc now! Forum posts don't count.

It's the time sent/rec'd on the email Uncle gets or the time the phone rings.

PUT UNCLE'S NUMBER ON SPEED-DIAL and paint the button orande with nail polish.

DRAFT A MESSAGE and leave it unsent so you can punch the mouse a couple clicks and it's gone. All it has to say is: "MINE".

When what you want shows up SEND IT NOW! If there's two or three to be distinguished from, send it now and then start another email that says "I meant I want this one."

Just advice for the next feeding frenzy. So don't listen to me, and I might not even say " Nyah, Nyah, Nyah, I told you so. "

Yup you're right on little Bro!!!!:D

And that's the way I got the Dui Chiara Chainpuri!!!!:D

I know, I know, Blues, don't rub it
in!!!!:p :D
 
Yvsa, you just don't listen. :cool:

Hey, I hesitated 2 or 3 minutes on that tarwar Thursday. Then I sent the message.

And watched the minutes go by. Three or four minutes later Uncle Bill posts on the forum it's gone to my evil twin in Catoosa.

The good news is Unc had another one. The bad news is it got sent on Friday and arrived here today. Have to wait til Monday at 8:30 ( well, sometimes they take pity on my forlorn face pressed against the door and slip it to me a few minutes early ).
 
I can cheat when necessary, cellphone (one of the reason's I'm broke, $35 a month) which has free longdistance, and I never use all of my daytime minutes. :)

certainly useful advice, Rusty, but when the master collectors are around--people like Harry and, well, Jim--these UBDOTDs all seem to come down to a matter of seconds. When, I wonder, are they going to share some of their tricks? I picture them having a basement full of specialized computer gear the rest of us could never hope to acquire, so their secrets are safe with the rest of us.

Not very well Blues.:)

Sometimes, or dare I say most times it's just karma and the particular khukuri has your name on it.
And that's what happened with the Dui Chiara Chainpuri.:D
It just had my name on it.:D
 
Well, they already have the Dui Chirra....

So how about the "Dewey, Cheatham & Howe" for attorneys? ;)

Blues
 
Yvsa, ship the khukuri up here, for inspection, and then 5 minutes with a Dremel, and I can make the metaphor a reality for you. :)

Bob
 
Don't go putting down attorneys yet. I'm hearing that one of my disagreements with the hospital sounds remarkably like some other people's experiences who have filed a class action suit against them. Guess what attorney I may call Monday morning.


Went back and removed signature. Felt it inappropriate to mention a certain hospital whose name I won't mention but is a real Mother, ( Saint ____ my tucchus!!! ) and God in the same sentence.
 
:
Bobit already has my signature on it from being sharpened by me.:D

And Rusty Go For IT!!!!!!!
There's a hospital here that I wouldn't take a dayumed cat too and I Hate cats, although the wild ones are okay, it's just that the Egyptians worshipped the so called "domesticated" ones so dayumed long they all got a case of the Big Head!!!!:D

I go along with the old song, Old Dogs, children and watermelon wine.:D
 
Ever notice that in this forum a thread ain't hardly worth paying attention to til it starts to drift?

( Oh, in case I didn't mention, one trick to getting an extra sharp edge is to hum a tune as you sharpen - for me it's the old Bing Crosby tune " The Bells of ... " )
