As I recall, the first election that they color coded, the Repubs were blue and they said they would alternate. But then they stuck us with red ever since. I think we all know why.I’ve never voted blue?

I don't know about you but a buddy of mine has a T-shirt that says "I'm not gay but $20 is $20".So. What do you have, where are you located, and how much will $20 get me?
Bingo, approx 25 mm/in is close enough for general purpose. Of course it doesn't work for precision stuff but hey it is a Caterpillar after all!x .03937 or divide by 25.4
You should have charged a conversion fee.
Well, the economy is rough.I don't know about you but a buddy of mine has a T-shirt that says "I'm not gay but $20 is $20".
Just throwin' that out there.
I know just about everyone has seen the message about posting threads that are clearly written and not duplicates and how to correctly post ads in the classifieds.
I'm thinking maybe some people need to be reminded to read the ads in the classifieds before contacting the seller with questions about price, location and quantity of product for sell. I always get, " where are you located? ", "what do you have ?", " what will x amount of $ will it get me?".
All of this information is in the add. Is it so hard to read the ad? It just gets old answering questions that the answer is already posted. Just a big waste of people's time. New " Site Supporters"are the worst.
He is way overpriced. How much would $10 get?I don't know about you but a buddy of mine has a T-shirt that says "I'm not gay but $20 is $20".

You are not suppose to ask this anymore. It’s in the rules.Is this still available?

I tried. I did finally find a way for him to keep straight which way the fittings go on a pump. First, these stories make the man sound like a buffoon, when he really was a good mechanic who just had a couple of blind spots. Anyway, for some strange reason, the customers had a real fettish for swapping around the camlock fittings on the 6" water pumps and they almost always came back in a nonstandard configuration, and Matt never could remember which way they went, so I would get a call ever so often, and would remind him that the female coupler belonged on the suction side and the male fitting belonged on the discharge side. I did finally come up with a different way of explaining it. One day I said to him that its just like sex. The fluid goes out of the male into the female. He never had to ask that question again.
Sorry for the substandard editing. I imagine I will trend toward my usual higher standards of composition after adjusting to my new meds and working the fog out of my head.I’ve been following this thread with mild interest. Seems it started out with a measured complaint about some folks not being able to concisely compose a “for sale“ ad. Then there are others who can’t grasp all the details in the ad and subsequently ask inane questions only to get chastised. Seems that sellers and buyers are being admonished for faulty reading comprehension or inadequate English composition. Then the thread eventually took a brief left turn with a couple of folks being concerned about voting. (?)
But, to get back on track, I would propose a voluntary buying and selling transaction on a forum should only be defined as success or failure by the actual participants. Those wanting to kibbutz or criticize, IMHO, should confine their comments to those threads that directly impact them. I cite as an example the verbose and poorly punctuated sentence in this post. I’m not especially trying to be critical of the poster, but only offering the comment to point out there are different issues that drive different people crazy. For me, don’t use the word “irregardless” in a sentence, it drives me crazy.
I could easily cite mistakes in grammar, punctuation, syntax, etc in just about every post on here. There are probably some examples contained in this short dissertation.
As the saying goes - can’t we all just get along ?
OMG, while reading this, I just knew you were going off and I felt the visceral pleasure of your seething. I lost it at the end and now my wife thinks I’ve gone insane.While we are ranting, on the facebooks, when somebody wants to sell something, give it away, hire somebody to do work, etc., instead of the person interested DMing them, The person interested says " I'll take it, I can do the job, etc DM me."
Hey dumbass, If you are interested YOU take the initiative and reach out and contact the person. Its not that person's job to reach out to you. You could have DMed them in almost as little effort, you just had to click your mouse two times and then sent the same damn message privately.
Of course these are the same morons that when you say "free [insert bulky item here]. Its at the curb." and they respond "I'll take it. I live 3 streets over, can you deliver it?" No, if you want it, get off you butt and get it. Or call your brother with his truck. Its free. You want me to carry it up your stairs and set it up for you in your living room too?
NOW GET OFF MY LAWN! Holy where's the tylenol
/rant
Well, you guys do like me more than she does, soooo....She just now figuring that out? We've known you were insane for years.
For the laughs...Why even respond to buyers who are too dumb to even complete reading the ad before sending a message?
