GOTCHA!!!! <br><br>Now let's get padding!<br><br>

I only have nine more posts to becoma a Senior!<br><br>

Okay, I'll pad...just received this a minute ago B:<br><br>Ohio Memory Celebrates Ohio History<br><br>In March 2003 Ohio celebrates 200 years of statehood. In celebration of the Bicentennial, the Ohio Memory Project has been working to create the Ohio Memory Online Scrapbook, available at: http://www.ohiomemory.org<br><br>

Pad...pad.....padd...adding padding...<br><br>

Ahhhh.... the monthly "the forum is dying" thread... OK, I'll bite. Consider this my contribution to the padded walls! <br><br><br>Visit Me At My .Mac Site

I never pad.<br><br>

Its a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!!<br><br>

Alright already...everyone back to work, break time is over!<br><br>

Me neither.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

And those of us with dial-ups should get, at least, credit for10 posts for each post we make...seems fair to me.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Well..how about 5? <br><br>

"Well..how about 5?"<br><br>10 would be better but you know what they say about beggars...<br><br>drjohn<br><br> <br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Dr John, you have some really spectacular photographs. <br><br>

Thank you...that's much appreciated.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Wow..yeah, really nice pics! What did you use to take them?<br><br>

YES you do! <br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

and YOU do too! <br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Yes, I love your photos too! Very nice! <br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Go Ruben, post, post, post!!<br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

I agree..they all pad. Sicko's!! <br><br>

LOL!<br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

See..I'm laughing with you. <br><br>and they hold their heads up like paddin is something to be proud of..HA! <br><br>

I'm glad you're not laughing at me! <br><br>Who do they think they are anyway, being proud of their padding?? hee hee<br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

No, we only laugh at Gizmo. But don't tell him....you know..his ego can't take it <br><br>

What did you use to take them?<br><br>Thanks and I'm tempted to say a camera...but I won't. 35mm to 4x5 cameras, brand is unimportant. Most the pictures on my site were done on film. There's a few that are digital.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

I feel so guilty creating shamless padding .<br><br>

Well, those are very well done. I like the "Hocking" one a lot..I suppose that was film. Where was that taken?<br><br>

I mean there are a few here who just can't resist padding...<br><br>

Hey..hold that padding down..some of us are trying to sleep! <br><br>

Very nice pics drjohn! <br><br>

I'm sorry it kinda just shoots out at times...<br><br>

Probably cause that car there is zooming along..<br><br>

No you are not....(this is not a pad)<br><br>

Never...except in post celebration of St. Paddy's day.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

It does have that zippy feel to it, that's for sure! <br><br>

bad, very very bad!<br><br>

No I am not..what? (shameless pad)<br><br>

Geez I got a lotta paddin' ta do...this is only my second post. I've been lurking for a while at MM and I really like the vibe here. A wee bit friendlier than MC...<br><br>"Research is what i'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing." <br>-- Wernher von Braun

"Where was that taken?"<br><br>Hocking State Park in Ohio. Beautiful place.<br><br>drjohn<br><br> <br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

a wee bit?? Go get some glasses! LOL<br><br>Nah, I don't know..I went to MC the other day just to see if it's the same, and sure enough, it is. I'll just stick to good ole MM.<br><br>Welcome aboard!!<br><br>

What part of Ohio? I'm in Kentucky. If it's not that far, I might go up there...<br><br>

Stop the crap! (welcome) You are just blowing smoke! (this again is not a pad and welcome home)<br><br>

Thank you...and that's not padding.<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Welcome aboard ezrider anyone who uses Freeway can't be bad. I like your web site!<br><br>

drjohn your welcome! And of couse it's not padding!<br>Wouldn't think of it. <br><br>

Actually A LOT friendlier than MC! This forum seems...I dunno...more Mac-like. Thanks for the "welcome"..hopfully I can contribute something semi-intelligent...well maybe...<br><br>"Research is what i'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing." <br>-- Wernher von Braun

And a thank you to you also. This is starting to feel like padding.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Pad Away!! <br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Nah, no padding here! <br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Too much free time on our hands, do we?<br><br>

Eastern part. It's a big place...near a town named, of all things, Hocking.<br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Who me?? No Way! No time on my hands, only Pizza Dough! <br><br>MrsJC<br><br>If the 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

FOOD...REAL FOOD? Talk to me!<br><br>

Mmmmm - making pizza for all of us? Geez, Ginny - you're swell!<br><br>

Yeah, welcome ezyrider! There are a bunch of caring and friendly folks around here. And even a curmudgen or two. <br><br>

That is a BEAUTIFUL park...I have been there many times. It is not far from Ohio University, the hot college babe capitol of the world. <br><br>

Don't worry if you can't find something worthwhile to contribute. We talk about anything here <br><br>I mean, we do put up with Gizmo after all <br><br>

Where is it nearby? Is it northeast? <br><br>

Near Athens Ohio, South central part of the state...about 150 miles east of Cincinnati. <br><br>

Cool...might have to check it out some day. Course I have a lot of places I want to check out beforehand. Like Cumberland Gap and falls.<br><br>

Oh look..I did post some non-padding posts! <br><br>

I had a college roomate that taught art at Ohio U. Haven't heard from him in years...I think he got swollowed up in one of the 'hollers' around there. He lived in the country and had his own gas well for his kiln. <br><br>drjohn<br><br>[i]My photographs[i]

Pardon me, but "hollers" is an exclusive trademark of West Virginia.<br><br>Now back to your padding. <br><br>

Hey! I see you were taking pictures at your senior citizen hazardous waste meeting! <br><br>

How are you doing?<br>Me: I'm fine..what's up?<br>MacGizmo: Oh nothing..bored but I got this great new CD. I played it in the hopes of hearing this great band, but it's not making a sound!!<br>Me: Oh yeah? Who is the group?<br>MacGizmo: Some techno group...I think they are German. Ms. Clipart. She looks so hot on the cover!<br>Me: uh......<br><br><br><br>

Just trying to make up for lost padding on St. Paddy's day huh? <br><br>

Time to go home....and pad some more....<br><br>

You are padding from work?? wow...<br><br>

Um...yeah...well technically I guess...not on WORK TIME...if you know what I mean.<br><br>

Well Gee! Isn't everyone? <br><br>

That just wouldn't be right....<br><br>

oh, sure... nudge nudge <br><br>

Yes, I guess you're right, unless you're on the East coast...<br><br>

Okay Beniitec, you asked for it:<br><br>[color:red]TheLurkerThread</font color=red><br><br>

Yes, I'm on the east coast. You mean there are other places?? <br><br>In another forum, a buddy from Seattle calls us east coast people "facist" LOL all in good fun<br><br>

Ya know..it took me 5 minutes to find the reply button. It was so far to the right I had to hook up another monitor to find it!<br><br>

If I add a few more words you might be able to convince the old lady to let you buy a new monitor! <br><br><br>Visit Me At My .Mac Site

I love this thread!<br><br><br>

Could try...my approach would be that a new monitor is required to continue this relationship, but to power and get the best ROI on the monitor I will also need a new G4! Yeah...go for it, I can't lose!<br><br>
