- I noticed you questioned my spelling and put (sp?) into the quote, astrolabe.
- at least I think it was you.
I didn't doubt the spelling at all. If I did I might have looked it up.
But now I wonder:
Would you like me to start the sentence after your name with a capital letter?
Manipulating quotes ... .. maybe I should seek legal counsel ...
I always thought you were British, but you should never assume anything.
This is what The Free Dictionary has to say about spelling and defining of civilised
- I doubt that one that cost money would be of a different observance.
But I have been wrong before ....

While we're at it: Why not fill in that index card?

The link is very interesting, GeraldRube, and it goes on and on
- I can recognise quite a few items, and I'm only 20% done.
However, the same may go for the opposite sex.

And, yes, I'm too trusting, but I can be a bitch as well, as you see.
No matter what: I think I took it too far, and astrolabe.
might have had a miserable day for some reason.
If one's inner GPS flashes 'bad conscience' to you, you better react. That's what I did.
Yesterday was glee, today is eating-a-bit-of-crow day.

Unscientific stats run Monday morning UTC said:
Out of 82 on line
41 listed where they are from
41 did not.

On Tuesday morning UTC it said:
Out of 79 on line
29 listed where they are from
50 did not.

But then again, morning UTC is when the Europeans are here, and they are better at giving
their info than the Americans later in the day except for Texas and California in general.

I think it makes life a little better having the possibility to see where my co-crunchers come from.
I notice many of them want to know about their co-crunchers also, but all too often there is no info.
It ironic to see one who does not list anything himself expecting another one giving him info ...

It doesn't bother me any more, GeraldRube
- and I hope it doesn't astrolabe. either ...

In fact this discussion should have been carried out in the "infliction" thread
- because infliction it was.

I'm hooked on Facebook philosophy
Yes, I can truly declare: I ♥ Facebook philosophy ♥
How about this one:
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did but
people will never forget how you made them feel.*
Let's make the people we meet today feel respected, appreciated and special.
Let's share the warmth of our hearts ...

*- my comment: that's where our amygdala kicks in
We actually have a little thing in our brains that processes and keeps track of these things
- provided the stork remembered the complete set of components.

But this thread is about "Where are you from?"
Please let us know; it's easy, it's free and you and your co-crunchers will appreciate it,
you will make them feel respected and it will be a good day when you search info and get it!
Don't procrastinate ...
- go to the grayest bar up ^^^^ there
- click "My Forum Profile", second item from the right
- fill in as much as you are comfortable with
- but as a minimum your country

I just got myself a large wall map, and I have 200 map pins in many colours
- and there are more where they came from

@ txyankee: I see you lurking. I posted a question to you some posts back ....

little mermaid,
You do realize that if someone had a warrant issued by Interpol they would be reluctant to give their location?

I don't see the big deal at all. If someone doesn't post where they're from, that's their choice, regardless of whoever likes or dislikes it. It doesn't matter, the choice is theirs. To ASK someone to do so, I don't think is very polite, to be honest. This is my opinion. If they wanted to post it, they would. Why ask at all? And then all the posting back and forth, wow!

Simple premise: If they want it known, they'll post it. Til then, leave it all be. 'Nuff said.
