I'd do the math at that point, and realize that someone had made a mistake, someone else noticed it, and the first person had corrected it, as evidenced by their edit.

the better solution would be to leave the timeline alone and simply let a person read the posts as they happened. in that case, the sequence of events is clear throughout: dname makes her post, gman corrects it later and no math is needed at all. your way is unnecessarily less clear.

Hi everybody.

Edit: I have no comment on editing.

i forget, did you get the ones that sit in your ear canal?

Nope, behind the ear, but a little tube that goes into the canal. Was told they'd probably itch for three or four days.

Remember how much glasses bothered you when you first got those? You have glasses right?

When I got glasses, I was about 4 or 5. I told my mom "Everybody should get glasses! Everything's sharp now! It's not all blurry!"

edit: just FYI, I had a typo that I fixed.

Hi, just a drive by before bedtime. My head is still spinning from the little exchange about editing and I guess I don't need to type all in caps because Poof got her hearing aids.

Good memory on the amount of dogs and breed in our house Gman!

Going to the airport in Berlin tomorrow to pick up my nephew from the US who will visit us for a few days. We are happy about that, especially the dogs, they love visitors. The cats are like all cats, they just said "meh"*.

Good nite all.

*All of our animals are bilingual.

I was about 9 and I thought they made a new size of Coke. It always looked so much bigger before.

Expecting storms here in a little while.

AZGman wrote:Expecting storms here in a little while.

I think it rained overnight while we were near Portland, no weather to report here though, although my phone claimed this morning that it would be a "Cloudy day" (my alarm tells me the approximate weather).

Bummer; rain passed southwest of us.

AZGman wrote:Bummer; rain passed southwest of us.

We're supposed to get heavy storms tomorrow night and Friday, so you might get those Saturday.

G'night, folks.

Sorry to be so late in checking in. Hi, and bye, and yep, and nope! Rusty, if he is like my dog, will wait until it is pouring, bark and jump at the door, and then once on leash, refuse to go out. Arrrg

Nice talking to you.

I have no idea what all y'all are talking about but that just gave me tired-head.

We had about 14 hours of rain since last night.It is really needed. Best part was it stayed below 100 today.

Three cheers for your rain. Any flooding?

Could use some help. Guy's car was rear-ended. His car had a V in the trunk. The guy that hit him had a "blah or a wench" on the front. Now, I'm reasonably certain it was a winch and not a wench, but I have no idea about the "blah." Anybody?

Hmmmm. Maybe. Certainly better than blah.

Good night. I shall go to bed thinking of the wench on the front of the car. Are you typing a case for hit and run???
