I set my snipe for one second and it went off at two seconds!!!!

Christine,

Those are classy little dogs in your pics, Rick!

I thought you might like them.

Yep.

Cute name, Christine!

Thanks, Mrs. M. But it does kinda stretch things out a little on the list of topics page.
How were your holidays?

Very busy, Christine, but nice. How about you?

Fattening is probably the best description. I think I ate way too much.

Lol! I think I cook so much for everyone during the Holidays, I kind of loose my appetite!!

Too much of this stuff?

yezzzzzzz!!

Me Too!!

Christine,

Someone might call you "Pass".

I make them a lot of candies, pies, etc.

Rick, that may be good or bad depending on how you look at it!
I make lots of munchies, too, Mrs. M.

The bad thing about the old user name was that everybody assumed that I'm a guy. Why do people think only guys like neat old cars? Women do, too! Anyway, this is now my posting ID, and the bidding ID will either stay the same or change to something else. Not sure yet.

When I was little, my Mother used to make candy and store it in five gallon jars. I would sneak in and take "just one piece" everyday for a couple of weeks. When she got them out for Christmas, I couldn't figure out how she knew! LOL!

I never assume anyone is either or what they say they are.

LOL! Sounds like my brothers. They would drink the soda pop (the clear stuff, like 7-Up) and replace what they drank with water and thought my parents wouldn't notice....

Umm...people think that because it is generally true! Only a few REALLY COOL women like neat old cars!

You could girly-ized the old ID name by sticking a "Ms.", "Mrs.", or "Miss" in front, or a "Queen", "Princess", or "Girl" at the end of it? Just a thought...

I knew the reference to the whole Ford Falcons thingie, but its a BIG deal over here.
You are either Ford or Holden(GMH) over here, its a HUGE big competition, we even have a whole car racing series called the V8 Supercars that are dedicated to this wicked rivalry.
Its weird I think you are either born Holden or Ford, we are a HOLDEN family

Lexie

Thanks, Jabber. There are too few of us "cool" women around. EBay wouldn't let me take Falcongal or a few similar ones. Apparently they were already taken.
Lexie, if anyone here would know that a Falcon is a car, it would probably be you. The Falcon club says that they still make them over there. Here they were made from 1960 to 1970. I have a 1967 sedan and a 1966 sports coupe that's not running yet. (long story behind the 1966, lol) P.S.--Nice pictures. Sounds like the goat keeps you busy keeping him out of mischief.
Sorry Puppy, no pet birds of prey here. Particularly not with a small dog....

I sure remember the Ford Falcon. Just of interest maybe..I rode in the very first TBird! One of the Ford's was attending Culver Military and I dated him. We took it to Macinnaw City, MI. going aout 80 miles an hour. He got a ticket!

Christine,

Is this in your area?

>>> Click Me <<<

The first T-Bird...was that like 1958 or so?
(Getting myself into trouble here.... )
Those were nice cars, too, Mrs. M.

1955

Rick, I don't know anything about XC coupes. Ford made Falcons, Falcon Futuras, Falcon Futura Sports Coupes, and Falcon Sprints as well as a Falcon van in the US. I think that either the Australian or Argentine series of Falcons has or had some cars with letter abbreviations on them. Both countries have/had a Falcon series, too. There might have been an XC. There was an issue of the Falcon News about them. Now if I can find it....

This is a Ford Fairmount xc coupe.

Cool, Mrs. M.! Gonna put them on eBay?

falcon xc

Thses aren't mine! I was just showing you .

So you're not gonna be an eBay car salesperson, Mrs. M.?

Well, I have sold motorhomes and travel trailers and vans and boats and motorcycles...does that count?

Well, they're not cars. So I guess you're safe.

No, no cars...yet.

Christine,

I'm probably the only one that cares about this, but I can still search for your posts using your previous ID.

Good point.

Probably others already know this, but the forum's search feature allows searching on URL's, such as those in pictures (including signature pictures) or in links. It seems to support an "*" at the end for generic searches.

I think it goes by your signin rather than your post id.

Here's our version of the current Falcons...

>>>Click Falcon Link<<<

Lexie

My Dad's first "second" car was a 1960 Powder Blue Falcon. It was most memorable for being so underpowered. When my teenaged (at the time) sisters took it out with their friends, Dad didn't worry, 'cause it couldn't go more than 50 mph on a GOOD day! He later traded it for a '64 Mustang! Yeah!

Lexie, thanks for the AU Ford site. The current version of the Falcon looks like a nice car, other than the fact that the steering wheel is on the WRONG side!

BTW Lexie, I like your smilie mini-drama with the bug in your sig!

Jabbergah                                                    

The bug problem is one I face every summer and I can often be heard to chuck an absolute whammy whilst riding my horse around the farm. Bloody flies just cant seem to take the hint that I dont want them swarming all over me!!!!

Problem is that screaming at them with every nasty word I know doesnt seem to help either, all it does is rattle the horse and give the neighbours a chuckle

Lexie

Cool site! Now I know what I want when my daily driver (not a Falcon) gives out. Another Falcon Futura--might as well make it a trio! But you're right, Jabber, the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. I wonder how hard it would be to have one made with the steering wheel on the left, if that's possible? Oh, well. Hopefully by the time the daily car wears out, the other two will be dependable enough that a third one won't be necessary.
This new posting ID is probably too long for this forum. How does Falcon Goddess sound?

Sara might be feeling lonely being the only Goddess.

Well, only if she doesn't have exclusive rights to goddessdom. (Is that a word?) I'm still thinking about it.

Sara could object if your goddess title had to do with being a sniper, but I don't think she has even hinted at being a car person.

Look at how many Gods and Goddesses the Greeks had !

True. They had at least one in charge of just about everything.
But maybe I'll try something a little less lofty for the time being, like this. (Identity crisis in progress here.)

I like it. ( much better than PTCSICS )

I think you need a big G though - other than that its great

Lexie

Done!

Perfect!!

Lexie

Christine,

I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but I think it complements this Topic's title.

Does anyone know of a nibblers' forum that I could post the following pictures?

Hi Rick.

Sorry, can't help you.

There may be a list of forums in here.

But Rick, those nibblers are cute! Most of the nibblers that come in here whine and throw tantrums. (Not that I've noticed....) Some can be taught. Others have made up their minds and aren't about to be confused by the facts.
And of course I wouldn't mind you posting on here, even if it were totally off topic. Threads always change and/or get hijacked. It's supposed to happen. It must be in the rules somewhere.
The weekend is coming. That means enough angry nibblers and newbies will be in here to keep us all busy.

Watch it, or I'll scan in some of my old trs-80 mags! (ah, for the days of 300 baud modems - NOT!).

YES !

I remember those days... back when you were amazed at how fast you could load a program by using a vioce tape recorder!

Would it give me away if I said it doesn't seem that long ago?

Was 1979 REALLY that long ago? I don't care to think about it!

Life was a simpler time then ... Compuserve, Dow Jones and just 2 local BBS's here in Seattle

Now I get so much data my head hurts almost all of the time!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Morning Mrs. M !

Good morning Puppy!

What's the deal with Village? It seems ok now, but some of your older posts still just have the red x.

Bet I can fix that!

Puppy, go back to one of them and refresh if necessary and see if it comes back now.

Most are OK now !

Maybe >> these << and others that still don't show up have been deleted ?

Mostly I was looking at some of your older 'Welcomes'.

It was that way of my own doing, Puppy. A lot have been deleted.

Well, just glad it's OK now. I was afraid I'd have to 'cold turkey' it.

I'm still getting "Access Denied (Private File)" on Christine's Boston Terrier picture, and one "File Not Found" on your ebay "Me" page.

Got to run to the post office.
