Cool. But are we shure all of those were educational.jk

[wireburner]

that is COOL

[fun4now]

educational?? helpful??
i try to be both when i can but then just as the rest of you i suppose i have a thread or 2 that are just for fun.
i'm also shore i have given advice that may not have been helpful. i have also been mistaken in a post here or there due to a misunderstanding of the question or just plain having the wrong info. i'm not all knowing and not even an expert welder. i spend a lot of time on here due to my injury and as such i read a lot of good and bad info, i try to pass along the good when i can and suspect its possible the info i got and passed along in some cases is not so good. but any bad info given by me was done so with the best of intent, i would not purposely or knowingly pass on bad info.

i have always said its not good to blindly fallow advice from anyone. you should always take the info gained from all posts with a grain of salt so to speak. gather all the available info and then decide what part of it you feel is worth trying. i don't think anyone has all the answers and we should all make the final choice our own. after all we will reap the reword or suffer the sorrows of the final result, so by all means make the final choice your own so you will feel the outcome was of your own doing be it good or bad.

so back to your question " how much of it was educational" no real way of knowing??? i have received many personal notes of thanks for my help on this and the other board so some of it must have been of some help to others.

This is how I take it. I take advice from someone that seems to know what he/she is saying/doing...ESPECIALLY if there is more than 1 opinion. If in fact it comes out wrong, I learn, then post my experience. Usually I will get a reply of what I did wrong, or if I DID get bad advice. I still learn and I don't get mad. There is WAAAY too much good info here and shared experiences to jeapordize our friendships.
Sincerely,
bert wong

[fun4now]

i did not mean my responce to be negative. just a little advice to every one out there to think about the advice given, be it from me or some one else. i do my best to give good advice as do many others.

just checked its still working.
i just been a bit out of it for the last few days. over did it with the hony-do list and am paying the price. i should be back up and running proper again soon i hope.

[Bert]

no, you didn't sound negative...Honey do list...I got a Dad-do list

[fun4now]

kinda all the same list if you are not fast enough

...Honey do list...I got a Dad-do list
yep i got one or 2 of them too. but in general it all roles up into the hony do list or list's.
kinda like
"daddy can you fix the slide"
which soon get fallowed by by the wife's
"isent the slide fixed yet? when are you going to get the slide fixed???"
so it realy all becomes the same list in the end, only diference is if you get the puppy dog eyes from the little one asking or the evel snow hag eye of death look from the wife as it hits her list.
LOL just kidding about the "evel snow hag eye of death"
