Thanks;)
Sometimes I do get my undies in a bundle... Ha! I just get a little extra
peeved these days with folks like the OP, hoax or not. So many folks around
here are despairing in limbo; stuck between the insurance companies, fed &
local government, rising prices and no solid answers. It's so disheartening,
and I know just how lucky I am.

More power to you, Inez! I doubt the weasel will even read your post
(doubt there IS a "Ray"), but it felt damn good to read. You kick XXX!!
: )
How's it going? Haven't heard from you in a while . . . you still
iChatting?
"Surviving Katrina" is coming on DSC in a few days (Sunday, I'm pretty
sure) and every time I see the ads for it, I think of you.

Oh my... Right by the coast or an island, I assume. I'm so sorry, Ric. I
hope you didn't lose loved ones. Looks like your home was somewhat built for
high waters. Have the insurance companies tried to abandon your area?

I doubt it too, but a lazy hoax seemed almost worse than a beggars spam. I
did respond mostly out of frustration, not on my behalf but for my region
and for everyone honestly struggling out there. Felt good to get it off my
chest;)

Haven't been on iChat. I've been too dead tired lately. I had hoped I would
adjust easier/faster to this outside job, but I guess I really am an ol'
woman. When did that happen? ;¬)

I'm not one of the real *survivors* as we just suffer side affects from
Katrina's aftermath. I just don't want the rest of the US to forget about
the Gulf Coast. I have no idea how much or how little about the Gulf's
current status is being broadcast nationally. I hope a little truth is
getting out there.

It's not, talked to a lady this afternoon and she was quite sure that 'all
that was cleared up months ago'.
Received a nice letter from some friends in Japan that wanted to know if
they would be welcome to visit us next summer at our place in Mississippi.
(they spent 6 weeks there two years back as we had at their winter place in
Japan a few years earlier)

Ugh, in my case, I think it happened a few days after I was born! : )
In your case, I think it's the fact that this last year has sucked XXX
for you. I gotta say, you're tougher than everyone I know put together.

Well, it is to us - but we're actually fairly local to you. And
considering that we get our share of hurricanes, I think it's one of
those cases of it's close to home, so we listen better than the rest of
the world.
We've actually survived the last few hurricanes really very well -
because of all the condos built (that we hate). They given us a huge
sea wall, so to speak. With the last one, we were supposed to sustain
horrible damage, but because of the condos, only got tropical storm
winds. The condos were almost destroyed, though.
And btw, condos sales are DOWN. LOL
BTW, my offer still stands. No expiration date. : )

We are STILL torn up everywhere from IVAN in '04, plus the damage Dennis
& Katrina did.
It's a frikkin mess here. Blue Roofs, downed trees and rubble everywhere
still. And the beach
is still trashed from Ivan.

Ivan hit us, too. But what got us more than the winds (cause of the
"condo" sea walls) was approximately 8 tornadoes that tore up and down
our major roads, hitting mobile homes (what else?), businesses, and
smaller homes.
The worst disaster I think I've personally seen in a long time was the
freak tornado that demolished most of the town where I lived. Well,
that's not fair to say - we were actually on the road down from MD when
it happened (moving here).
It was a freak Supercell F-5 that almost completely destroyed La Plata,
MD. No warning - that kind of thing's not typical for that area.
Tornadoes are typically the tiny ones that land out in the trees
somewhere, take a tree, and vanish.
After the big tornado, the home that we had lived in (and already sold)
was about two feet tall - completely destroyed. One of my best friends
had just left a local KFC, began strapping her kids into their car
seats, looked up, and the KFC was GONE. No one was killed though. All
in all, that devastating tornado only killed 3 people - it should have
been so much worse, though. So glad it wasn't.

My CIL is one of the lucky ones - they finally paid to have her roof
fixed (it was completely torn off in Charles, repairs begun and then
retorn off in Ivan). They finally ponied up about 6 weeks ago. And she
was supposed to have had one of the *good* insurance companies (as if
there is such a thing).
Not to rub it in, but we have USAA, and their rates only went up a tiny
bit (about $9 a month). So I guess we're pretty lucky. But then, USAA
only insures a small segment of the population - the commissioned
officers in the Military, so I don't think their bottom line is as
absolute as others who are open to the public.
We're also insured up to the eyeballs - not that it would mean a damn
thing if they decided to drag their heels or outright not pay. I have
taken pictures (regularly updated) of EVERYTHING. Mere XBox controller?
Yep. I have it recorded and photoed. If we end up getting hit, I'm
going to get every last dime that I'm entitled to![color=darkred]

I've been with USAA since '81, for Home and Auto..
And even USAA tries a few dirty tricks with me. But I got my settlement
without going to court, but I had to holler and make a nusance out of
myself first. :-)

Obviously, no one has ever said that *you* kick XXX, so I'll have to
explain it to you - it means "Good job."

Really, Lar, you should try to understand that no everyone has the

Your fantasies, about me, are also irrelevant.
Move to some other city, if you are not too poor.

LOL, unlike you, I get genuine, *positive* compliments all the time.
Unlike you, the "compliments" I receive don't contain the words
"XXXXtard," "XXXXwit" or "shit-weasel."

LOL, it's not name-calling - that's your real name. Your mom said so.
Aw, shit. Don't tell me she didn't tell you?!! It's on your birth
certificate, I swear!

Um . . . oh . . . this is awkward, Pops. Apparently your generation

Wasn't fantasizing, Hon. I made an educated guess based on your
intelligence, demeanor, and social graces.
If you walk like a pathetic luser, act like a pathetic luser and sound
like a pathetic luser - then you must be a pathetic luser!

LOL, poor? Not hardly.
But your comment only shows what an unfeeling XXXXtard you are if you
spew shit like that when there ARE people who ARE poor.
You are XXXXing beneath my notice and not worth my time. Grow a few
more XXXXing IQ points and then we can talk. Your measly 52 IQ points
just aren't enough to qualify you for the adult's table.

Very true . . . you have been whining like a little bitcheroo over my

Hi Connie - you sound like such a nice person, I'm sure you will be a

First of all, I'm not a new addition - I've been here for quite some
time and have made an effort to help newbies with any and all questions
that they have had that I could help with. Steggy usually beats me to
the punch, though. : )
>
If you take a minute and look at my other posts in this group (and ADG,
as well), you'll see that I *am* a nice person when it comes to serious
discussion, newbie questions, and pleasant topics.
However, I'm not nice to spammers, assholes and trolls. And Larry
Linson is nuthin but a troll. And not even a very good one at that.
And as for Voivod, he insulted two *VERY* nice people (Inez & NotMe)
for no reason other than being OT. Both of them are *VERY* valued
members of this group (and ADG) and always bend over backwards to help
others and be kind to those that others might flame. They didn't
deserve the crap they received from Vivvie.

Vivvie was ranking on you (and Inez) - he wasn't doing a very good job,
though. Too, I don't see you or Inez as having thin skin, LOL. It just
pissed me off that a scum-sucking pustule on the arse of humanity would
talk to you two that way.

It's pointless to slap your knee, Ric. You should be kinder and slap
Lar in the head - it might do him so much needed good.
Hit'em in the head hard enough and it might make those last two brain

This is the *last* time that I'm going to xpost on this thread. Inez
was a kind soul and pointed out to me privately that this thread was
being xposted all over the place! I didn't realize it at the time (I
attribute it to too much stress & caffeine and not enough sleep)!
That's not much of an excuse, but it's the best I've got and it's the
truth.
To sum up, I apologize to you all for this mess and for offending
and/or irritating you guys!! Especially Harry Limey - I'm not sure if I
was being offensive in my reply to you (I was actually trying not to),
but if I were, in ANY way, shape or form, I deeply and wholeheartedly
apologize.
Again, I'm very sorry!!

Why be sorry?
As one who is well on his way to being " a mentally disabled old fart"
- not relevant - "in his pee-stained underoos"
(Blood tests next week - ho hum)
I for one am very grateful to you for getting me " giggling like a 12
yo tweenage muppetXXXX" with your exchanges.

Thanks! At least, I think that was a compliment. : )
Anyway, I'm not aspiring to be a troll, and I didn't mean to act like
one.
BTW, there's a difference between being a cool older guy who might have
the occasional bladder control issue and being a mentally disabled old
fart in his pee-stained underoos.
Unless you're Larry Linson. : )

Nah - the trick is to make sure that you appear to be the old fart
bumbling about then be able to catch the quarry when they are not
expecting it. Gets the concessions a few years early as well.
Always used the 'Columbo act' in boiler surveying, now with age it is
easy to use in real life ;-)

OMG, I love Columbo!!!! I think I have seen every one of his episodes
and movies!!! He's my favorite mystery/detective character!! My second
fave is Monk - do you all get him in the UK?
I've never used his tactics, though - I don't have nearly enough
patience. : ) Maybe someday . . . : )

Yup
They are the only 2 from over there that I really go for.
Generally I watch little but detective stuff or documentaries on the
TV.
The Columbo style got me lots of info about factories etc fast from
the ones who know but would generally clam up at any formal 'suited'
approach.
The number of Managers, factory engineers etc who were blown away by
this stupid tramp seeming to know more about their actual operations
than they did and was telling them that they were crap and quantifying
it after a few hours made for a very enjoyable life.

Neither do I, really. I will watch the true crime shows, but the
acted/scripted stories leave me cold. Usually, because they're based on
true events and it somehow seems to be making a profit off the misery
and pain of others.
I like "New Detectives," "Forensic Files," and "Cold Case Files" the
best.
For scripted, I like Columbo (which is MUCH more creative and clever
than the others, IMHO), "Monk," "CSI" (original), and "Psych" (cause
it's hilarious!!).
But, really, you all have typically been at the forefront of forensic
techniques and technology. Who could forget that you guys are the ones
who FIRST used DNA to convict a criminal! : ) Not to mention Watson and
Crick!? : )

I've taken the "playing dumb" approach with a few printers who were set
on lowballing prices on jobs. Getting the info and then turning it
around on them was a lot of fun.
But then, that was back when it was a male-dominated industry with few
female artists (unlike today), so I didn't have to bend over backwards
in "acting dumb." They automatically assumed that if I were a woman,
there was no way that I could be as technical as a man.
If it had taken any real dedication to playing the part of Columbo, I
couldn't have done it!

LOL! Hopefully, you didn't break an arm clapping yourself on the back!
I know *I* would have! People being so pretentious as to not only
withhold vital information on the basis of career/bottom line, but to
assume that someone who SEEMS to be a "bumbler," or in Columbo's case,
"lower-class" are disgusting excuses for human beings and *deserve* to
get caught with their hands in the cookie jar!
And if they're so stupid as to judge a book by it's cover and lack
basic survival skills, all the better.

Don't think that New Detectives have been foisted on us yet and by and
large the others leave me cold.
We have our own versions of the other 2 actually, which I do enjoy.
Perhaps because they seem far more even handed.

In my case there was no sense of 'winning' or suchlike. The thing is
that as a Boiler/Pressure Vessel surveyor, get it wrong and places get
blown away or at least a major modification to the architecture. Since
in this sort of stuff you can typically only see something like 10%
physically and the condition is very much down to operational factors,
then we only get one bite of the cherry before stuff is being
reassembled and commissioned, getting all best gen there is can and
sometimes is a life saver.
So when bad practice is found, the results caught, managers etc made
fools of (often without their being aware of it) and the errors and
results of their ways shown, going home is a case of breathing a big
sigh of relief that another one hasn't been missed.

How do you mean as to "even handed?"
I think we, possibly more than other countries, assume guilt before
innocence (take a look at the Ramsey/Karr situation). And our crime det
shows definitely mirror that.

Oh please! Don't be so modest. If it hadn't have been for you guys,
most of our criminals would have gotten away with murder!
Jeffreys' research convicted Pitchfork in '83 - even though DNA typing
was still in its infancy.
However, 11 years later, in the OJ Simpson trial, it's use was still so
rare and "unreliable" that OJ went free. Who's to say how much longer
it would have been for our scientists to discover it's reliability if
that's the typical?! Honestly, I shudder to think of it.
I don't see OJ walking free if it had happened in *your* country.
Justice would have been served.
IIRC, your status record of innocents being sent to jail is much lower
than ours. In fact, the Innocence Project owes it's success to you
guys!

That sounds like a definite "win" to me. The more lives you save, the
better (obviously). I honestly couldn't imagine having so many lives
depend on my expertise and intelligence.

What kind of penalty do they (the managers) face? I would hope it's a
steep one.
BTW, which NG are you posting from?

Well a couple of things get to me. Most of the imports have the focus
on the 'star' when the plot is the important thing. Who is acting in
what part is totally irrelevant providing that they are competent to
do so.
Columbo is a bit different in that often it is quite late on before he
appears even. The style is interesting and useful as I have found over
the years, but there is some reasoning there.
Most of the others to me are either cameras following a prancing star
with the support cast there to glorifying that star. Murder She Wrote
being a classic over the top example.
Or
Others seem to exist to glorify the 'service' be it FBI, Police or
whatever for local consumption. The even handedness appears far more
apparent in the home produced stuff in that the producers are quite
happy to have a story line that rips straight into them.

Again dunno. For that I would have to comment on your enforcement
authorities, about which I am blissfully ignorant.

Don't think of it that way. It is not a competition. The only thing on
going thought wise is that now maybe everyone on site now accepts that
I am on their side in that I am there to save them and their business,
physically and financially, so going forward we all will work together
and trust each other
Thats the whole basis of engineering though. Next time you step into
your car, a lift or damn near anything man made think of the fact that
you have just placed your whole well being in the hands of various
levels of engineers who have designed, built and maintained that item.

Normally because I have found the deficiency and the situation is
rectified why set nasty things into motion?
Much better to have everyone on side and more savvy, which is what
then exists.
But the penalties under the UK Pressure Systems Regulations 2000 can
run to five years in jail plus up to £10 000 fine last time I looked.
