YEAH!
Weird, new Bar and Grill thread.
Curious, were there any drawbacks as an admin, to a thread so long?

Anyways, memorial parade is coming up on....well, memorial day. Don't know why I even bothered to say that.

I'm practicing the trumpet right now.

I don't hear myself that often, and now that I do I realize that I need to practice more! Tone quality has dropped a TINY bit.

This summer, I will practice!!!

Anyway, we got new phones yesterday!
More details in a new thread coming soon. It was (is) a GREAT experience.

iRye suspended?!?!?
Don't mean to start something by saying it. It's just sad to see someone banned or suspended to me, because if that person were ME, I don't know what I would do.

I mean seriously, what WOULD I do without M-F?!
I go to it just as often, if not more, than facebook....and I thought THAT controlled my life!

It's so great here!
I could SCREAM out of pure weirdness.

Hmmm, so someone with 4, who only posts to insult, gets defended. But when other people put a side note, as sort of a milestone to how long they have been here, they get cut down? :Confused:

I find it funny how this place seems to always make attempts to drive away the better members.

Read the FAQ for the Reputation system my friend, you may learn a thing or two before you start making assumptions. The member that left the rep was totally within their rights to leave rep for that, what do you want me to do about that?

BTW, your member since date is a much better indicator of how long you've been here than post count. ;)

We also fully realize that the environment here isn't for everyone. You have to make the call on whether it's the right place for you. But our values will remain the same. :)

Time to start a new thread, last one is getting too long...

How long do you think it will take us for this one to get as big?

Well unlike last time, i'm here now. I'd say it'll be as big as the last one before we know it! ;D

Just think......years from now people will look back on this and think "WOW!"

Very good advice. You can save some money and still get the warranty.

Waiting on a verdict on my friend's case.

Hopefully he'll get off on probation.

If not he's going to be serving 12-28 years for distribution on a felony count.

No word yet. I'm nervous.

He a good friend to you?

Yeah, a really good friend.

I'd hate to see him get hauled off. He's a good kid, got mixed up with a few bad ones at school, and his roommate decided to turn him in, even though he'd sold less than $100 in 3 months.

We're hoping he'll get probation.
