Filling out PROFILES

from Garry's profile: Hours: Usually 4.5 for 18. 

Garry, to think all this time I just knew you had rigged your tractor to only register 4.5 hours on the hour meter for every 18 actual hours you used it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I would have never guessed you didn't actually own a tractor /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif!

Of course, then there's always people like Junkman. By reading his profile, you'd Never suspect that the guy had any kind of sense of humor, let alone one of the sharpest wits around! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif )

Hey!!!!!!! I resemble that remark........ /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I honestly would not have known where you lived...if I had ever looked at the blurb beneath your name to see it, I had since forgotten. I would have guessed you lived in Florida and were a Gainesville-backer.

For the record, I decided to see what a filled-out profile looked like (yours) and discovered that you had indeed lived in Florida (or at least attended University of Florida)....wow, that was handy information. If hadn't found out where you graduated college from I sure couldn't answer a question to you about how to pull or calf or how to pour a concrete floor or how to bake a cake or how to....

Information in profiles is fantastic (I read yours and Buckles (? - whoever posted after you did). I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I read them...surely they will be on the NY Times bestselling profile-filled-out-list...

I'm just having some fun at your guys expense, and I suppose I really shouldn't since probably all you want to know what my conditions are should I ask various and sundry questions...shame on me....

Can I just let Junkman fill out my profile since he seems to the expert on rtimgray - then I don't even have the excuse of I'm too busy?

I doubt that there are any PETA people on this forum. They are usually the type of person who doesn't get his or her hands dirty. They are good at telling other people how to live their lives though /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif By force of law if necessary. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif Sounds like anti-gunners too.

You must be easily entertained. I respect the fact that you rather be just known -- so to speak -- as a number rather than a name.

I think some basics like location and equipment one has should be an absolute minimum. I filled mine out the first time someone brought it to my attention when I was new and only wish there were more space allowed for certain things like hobbies/interests, etc., than is currently available.

I'd like to update my info but can't because I'd have to delete some of what I have there since the limit was reduced since I filled mine out. I can't even change my password now unless I trim that. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

As to someone tracking me down for some nefarious reason or stealing my identity, I can't say I'm really worried about that at all. I figure there are far better places to cull that kind of info than a TBN profile. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

PETA,

rtimgray..... what is wrong with your adding this to your profile... 

Our buddy Henro has a pretty good profile... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 Hi, my name is Bill. I was born in Pgh. I live in Pgh now. I think I will die in Pgh. Pgh is a good place. My wife likes Pgh too. TBN is as good as Pgh. Life is good...space for bio is too small...

If I ever said, or gave the impression, that there is anything wrong with filling out one's profile, I did not mean to. Profiles are great...they're fantastic...everybody should do it....everybody else, I guess.

It's just that, as mentioned before, I never looked at anybody's profile and wondered why anybody would look at mine. It's really more or less a lack of interest on my part - like I said earlier, if somebody asks a question and doesn't give their complete information, tough nuggies. If they want a question answered, they should give all the information in the post (make it REAL easy for folks to find rather than nosing around in profiles). Heck, 80 percent of the questions brought up anymore have already been discussed, it seems like the asker is not willing to put in the effort to search the archives.
