So if we consider this place to be a family. What role does each play?
GSjack is the cool grandpa that you just know has forgotten more than you will ever know... and always get him to tell stories.
continue...
don't think that jack has forgotten anything lol. BUUUUUUT moving on, then we move down to well john ( and annie) still trying to figure that mystery. been at it a decade
Cool great grandpa actually and my 5 great grandchildren call me biker. I like that. :icon_lol: You can all call me biker if you want too. :thumb: We were renamed 11 years ago when the first great grandchild was born and our daughter and hubby claimed the grandma and grandpa names. Wife became gigi short for great grandma and we've been called GiGi and the Biker ever since, kinda neat I think.
GiGi has never ridden with me, she is quite a quilter though. She doesn't ride and I don't quilt and I guess that works for us, we celebrated our 62nd anniversary last month. :cheers:

We all appreciate those fetal alcohol syndrome eyes of yours...
Mister would be that miserable f%$k uncle that lives in his mother's basement and plays World of Warcraft all day while making fun of people half his age. :D
I'd be that hyper-active kid that always says off-the-wall stuff to his parents/teachers...in adult form. LOL
I'm the cousin that either doesn't Shutup or can't talk cos eating all the cake!
Addy is the cousin who has to pull every toy apart and put them back in different configs the day after Xmas
John is the stern uncle.... Who nevertheless wants you to 'pull his finger'

Who's who in this family? :icon_rolleyes:
Considering there are over fifteen thousand members listed in this board's registry... Even if only 20% of em' are active, you guys still got one hell of a task ahead of ya's.
And as for me...
I'm not family here.
Nope! I'm just an old codger that lives under the 5th Street Bridge, surviving on table scraps that Cods brings me, (as long as I keep filling in for him on LPW).

I'm the uncle who gets inappropriately drunk at every family gathering. Not the touchy uncle, though. I'll leave that to someone else.

buddha bro .... get some nice red chillies .... mash them up real good... let them soak in water for couple days .. large handful chillies to gallon of water ..
put in watering can and water your front lawn with it ...
can also use eucalyptus oil or similar... but thats harder to emulsify ...
doggies noses are pretty sensitive ... and they usually sniff around before they lay their egg.... wont like chilli
and if they happen to walk on the chilli water while still damp... it might make the skin on their toes prickle a little... not enough to hurt them! ... but hopefully enough to move them on..
its not a perfect method.... you may have to apply on several different days to achieve desired results.... main idea is to acclimatise them to your lawn is a bad area and other lawns are better! ;)
It also works on cats. There is a wonderful pepper called "ghost" - I use those to keep the cats off.
I am not really into spending $$ when the worthless owners wont even carry a baggie with them when they walk the flea bags.
For now yelling has to do.
Cool.
Buddha.

NOTICE: The following post is long, boring, and out of context.
I'd suggest passing it over. - - - - - -
Indians you say? Hah! I'm immersed in em'I've spent a lifetime working in electrical engineering here in the NY Metro area, (yup, all Indians).
Hell, at work I am their token white boy.
Even way back in the early 70's we had the very FIRST two Indian kids in our school system; Manish & Pradeep Gidwani.
Nice kids but back then here in Jersey we had no idea what they were or where this strange land called India was.
My-My How Things Have Changed!
The photo below is Jersey City, NOT downtown Kolkata... (http://www.jerseycityindependent.com/wp-content/gallery/2010-india-day-parade/india6.jpg)
And yes, it's true!
The dogs of us typical Americans do indeed sh!t on the lawns of Indians.
Especially the well educated, successful, self disciplined, peace loving Indians. (Heh, we know who you are).
But read-on for a deeper understanding of this tradition...
India Man in America Fun-Facts...1.) Only the best Indians make it to America. (I can explain & prove this fact in another post).
2.) Do not be (too) prejudice against India immigrants living in America; Their American born offspring will soon become "perfect" American citizens. This metamorphosis takes little more than one or two generations. After that, these new American born India kids will develop all the traits of a true American, traits like letting their dogs sh!t on the lawns of well educated, successful, self disciplined, peace loving immigrants.
3.) Think Indians are rude? I used to until an Indian friend explained to me that Indians treat Americans much more politely than they treat each other. It's a caste based cultural thing that Americans simply can't appreciate or fully grasp.
In my next installment of India Man in America Fun-Facts we'll discuss yet more fascinating topics such as...*Understanding "lunch" at an Indian Buffet.
*Indian's favorite jokes and their political humor.
*Why Indians (secretly) vote Republican.
*Five reasons why people from India make the very best immigrants to the North American continent.
*And... why "I"
(a typical 3rd generation American of mixed Middle-European decent) am qualified to bring you this information.

Thanks for reading.
Namaste,
-Ej-
Its not true that Injuns treat each other worse than they do to americans ...
Just that most Injuns do ... he he he ... I make it a point to not do that ...
So I treat everyone like crap.
No real point really ... just stirring up the poop.
Cool.

Never met an "India" Indian that I didnt like :thumb:
You probably not met any "ama-dudes" then.
I should probably thank the residents of NJ for having created a positive impression for India in general ...
And at the risk of ruining a billion people's reputation ... you remember that Incident with the consulate general a few months ago in NY making her maid work 24/7 and not giving her insurance etc etc ... well, that is the general ethos of Indian Businesses ... OK its actually the ethos of any business that has been allowed to flourish in a land with no labor laws ... And Indians think they can "export" that to the US and other countries, and are shocked when they get caught.
Cool.
Buddha.

But I thought the caste system was abolished. I'm shocked...
Its been "abolished" alright ... except they dont believe in crap like safe workplace, 40 hr work week, medical insurance and time off.
These fools try to tell me that I am an executive ... I am working for an Injun firm colsulting @ an international bank and have some tech direction capability - as in I can say I want A to do this, not B ... where every one involved is an off shore employee of The Injun consulting firm ... and I'm an exempt employee ... WTF ... by definition an outside consultant only dealing with employees of the outside firm = consultant ...
I'm countering this crap by saying ... hey I managed to work just about 40 hours and accomplish all this ... he he ...
Needless to say they are stumped why I may not want to spend 60 and 70 hours @ work ...
Worse yet ... I seem to count meetings as work time ... shock horror ...
Even 2 X as worse, I seem to send the even lower level grunt employees home when their shift ends, so the're not missing their rides home (at freaking 11:30 pm in bloody India)
They say "I seem to have forgotten about India" ... I counter saying, gee thanks. I didn't know that remembering India = keeping your employees @ work later than when they can get on the last bus home in a country where a woman trying to get home @ night is liable to get raped ...
Cool.
Buddha.
C'mon...work and workplace relations in Indian companies and in India ain't so bad at all...

Interesting article. So it looks like the caste system has moved to just the haves and have-nots.

He he, not always. Even I dont understand it. And at this time I still spend more than 1/2 my life in India (8-9 more months to go before that changes) ... Anyway It could be thought of as a combination of the 2.
That doesn't change the fact that there is a few clowns I know that need to be torched ...
Cool.

I think he is an idiot that is lucky to be alive ...and appears to have target fixated on the car, which came so close to hitting him head on.
