Today's Numbers: Get 'Em While They're Hot!

[WindForce]

I personally think that dinner, some flowers and a smile will get you a new dual Nehalem..Now that I would like to see you with..
and so would she..
You'd be doing a "Permawood" and that puts smiles on all the wifey's faces..

I already used all the tricks in the book, that's how i got me that nice media center for the basement

[CyberDruid]

Yup, am back full force again, finished installing everything in my new home. I'm looking for a way to put a rig in the garden, but it's a tough call You guys have any idea what can i say to my beloved wifey so i can do it??

I have the same desire. Something about outdoor computing makes me happy.

Maybe if you conceal it in a little Zen Pagoda...

Yes, I can see Windforce pissing his pants laughing at that one..
A little Zen Pagoda in his yard..Just outside Tel Aviv..
Talk about a mismatch!

You trying to ruin my night?
Ok, thats it..
Time to motivate all those who've stopped WCG..
I just have one question:
Is permanently destroying a human's ability to hear considered cruel and unusual punishment?
I don't want to go outside the law here..

[fart_plume]

as long as you don't waterboard them i don't see why you can't call them............

[road-runner]

Time to send those email out again...

[Movieman]

as long as you don't waterboard them i don't see why you can't call them............

ooh, waterboarding..Hey, legal for the US so I guess I can use that also!

[fart_plume]

you realize that if you waterboard them while talking to them on the phone it might be illegal because sound travels better through water........................

Start by finding out who's inactive and ask if maybe they don't want their custom nick color and header.

congrats on getting your new home together, Jaime.

well, not sure what you could say to her, but as far as the design or architecture of it...

how about the box, itself, somewhere not-in-the-garden, but a waterproof touchscreen and a waterproof membrane-like kb outside. have the kb slide out, when needed from under the touchscreen.

Or me showing up at the door for a short 14 day motivational session.

[fart_plume]

Actually i think Loonym is right if their not active for 6 mos then they don't need the custom color or titles. exceptions for those in the military active duty overseas, or serious illness, accidents ect...............I wonder how many crunch just for a short time just to get the custom colors and titles?

It's a touchy thing. I've had guys actually PM me and say they were sorry but they couldn't continue for $$ reasons.
Tough to get mad at someone and take away a title when in your mind it is these guys that have made a sacrifice to help that has built this team.
I tell them that when things get better for them we will be here and their chair at the table will still be ready for them.
Friends first, competitions and everything else follows that.

[fart_plume]

that i can understand, it's the ones who just want the extras are the ones that bother me, and no way to know.

[D_A]

I don't think it's unreasonable to trim folk who just vapour off without a word to anybody, so long as it's made clear that the tags/colours are for ACTIVE (or those considered active) members.

Me too , but there are times one looks and says for the greater good I will shut up and let this one pass.
Lot's of reasons people drop out. Most is a money thing due to elec costs and I can understand that.
You get your AC running, your pool and then get your first $400.00 electric bill and do a Holy Sh*it, the Mrs. is going to remove the family jewels when she sees this one.
OR you add your income for the month and come up 50-100 short and look for ways to cut back.
Hard to get upset with someone trying to make ends meet and since I never know that person that well I take the position of trying to be the understanding person.
This is voluntary and can't get upset at anyone for doing the best for their families based on their circumstances.
Now I do try and wait a month -2 before asking that colors and titles be given out to see if the person is really into this or not.
Most of the ones that just want the color don't have the stamina to do this that long and peter out after 1-2 weeks..

[loonym]

I don't worry about the electric, I just put the little one on a treadmill. She's got more energy than all of us I think.
