For introducing me to my Brother...my Uncle...my brothers in spirit.

For the laughs...the cheering up...the faith...

For the entertainment and the education.

Holy Toledo...have I *really* had 2,500 things to say? :eek:

Yup and one of the many reasons I keep hangin out here. I was very pleased too be able too adopt Ray into my family. I'm finding that nephews are everything that brothers and sons can't be.
Study on that for a while and you will reach a new level of enlightenment.:D ;)
In our heyday the Cherokee uncles were the ones that taught their sisters and brothers son's, their nephews. The bonds could be very close and lasted for a lifetime.
In many ways the Old Ones were much wiser than we today.:cool:
I'm glad that I'm able too tap into that wisdom, remember what I've said before? ;)

Ray makes me very proud and in many ways! :D
 
Hip hip hurRAY! Good thing Nasty ain't so nasty! I think I got him beat by 3 years and he outposted me by a full magnitude :eek:
 
I've been gone most the day working and find two important threads.
Glad Nasty found this place.
didn't take him long to carve his signature on the couch.
Thank goodness.

I appreciate the advice over time that Nasty's given me.

So, me being a poor Latin scholar, here's a (possible) tagline for Nasty:

Cape locum et fac des vestigium.

it means: Take a Stand and make a Mark.

For someone who collects khukuris, it's not a bad motto.

That's a very interesting choice of words AA...munk will understand. He may be able to explain that one to me...

Guys...Bill...I really can only repeat myself...thanks.

I've got to post this one more time. Some guys just can't abide by the OSHA rules. What about that flame retardant safety gear, Ray? Or as we know you now, Nasty Lefty

Righty tighty? :confused:
 
Don't ask me. But that word Vestigium is interesting. What you wanna bet it's related to modern day, 'vestiges'?

Make a stand and even the flood won't wipe out the marks your bootheels made as you stood.

Good to have a thread about Nasty. He's got friends.

vestige: in CancerWEB's On-line Medical Dictionary


I have Google set as my home page so that all I have too do too get there is click on the little house in the bar at the top of my page but usually I click on the Quick Launch for IE and go there as it opens in a new window.
Once there I click Favorites and go down two entries and when the page loads, instantly, I click on the 2nd from the top which is My Dictionary. I actually use it quite a lot, for words I'm not sure of the spelling thereof, or the meanings of words that I think I know but want too use it in the correct context.
I don't wish too appear as a dumb ndn and besides it keeps me learning and my brain gets too keep making new synapses .:D :rolleyes: :p ;)
