Peon? Here are the steps you need: 1. Click on username (top left of any post). 2. Click on "View Member Profile". 3. Click on "Options" drop down box. 4. Click on "Members Display Name History". That's it. Next time you need help, Mark, just check with a peon.

I know nothing of music theory, but I know what I like. I like it.

Here is Chubi's display name history: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/index.php...mes&id=6022 That's 15 names in all! I still think of her as Monkey.

It is a bit confusing. I know the member profile shows a display name history, but I wouldn't necessarily be prompted to check that.

Happy Birthday, Buddha Buddy!

Here's the car I really want... It's a Bugatti Veyron 16.4...16 cylinder, 1,001 hp... Unfortunately, the MSRP for the base model is $1.2 million, so I'm sticking with the old Chrysler for now.

Chrysler Concorde.

As I said...let's party! I've had a little experience with the International Date Line. Let's party!

Just wanted to commend you for using stuffed and mounted in that order.

College Chemistry is the reason I became an accountant.

Here is an interesting article about tsunami facts, which includes the following: Here are a few pictures.

Happy Birthday, David!

Actually, Robbie's birthday is tomorrow. But if there's a party involved, I don't mind starting early. Happy Birthday, Robbie!

Doesn't that mean you have a protected left turn with the left turn arrow, but can also make a left turn on a green light if there is no oncoming traffic? That would be different from "Left turn on arrow only". I know...ask a policeman what it means.

Well, some of my questions were answered. Looking forward to chapter 3. This was a good chapter, Jack. The plot is really developing and we are seeing some of our favorite characters. Thanks.

Welcome, Silesia, from another old timer. I agree that we experienced members have much to offer. Getting the young folks to pay attention to us is quite another matter. I am not so old that I don't remember the seemingly dubious advice I received in my youth, much of which makes more sense now. "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." ~ Mark Twain

James, why don't you tell us how you really feel?

Not I.

I'm sure you will get more comments as the plot develops and as more people realize you are posting new chapters on a regular basis. I can tell already it is going to be a good story...starting out with some suspense.

Dom, I missed the emergency room visit if that was in your blog. You are an accomplished babysitter if you practice the sugar feast. Just before the parents pick them up is a good time; the kids will drive the parents nuts by bouncing off the walls when they get home and taking hours to fall asleep. But the kids will love you.

My wife is a retired high school English teacher. She was forever complaining about how ill prepared 9th graders were for writing coherent papers and comprehensible test answers. She spent an inordinate amount of time teaching grammar rules at the expense of exploring the vast world of literature. The teachers of other high school subjects felt that grammar is the English teachers' responsibility and that they could accept anything on papers and test answers in their classes.

Fortunately, the school had a good English department and many students went on to score 4 or 5 on AP tests or sufficient scores on CLEP tests to exempt them from one or two years of college English courses. In the matter of insure vs. ensure:
