    ... we shouldna said nuthin bout googling it themselves .... hindsight ... derrr ... 20/20!


    Image result for google it

    A couple of experienced business owners who know how to run a business in a professional manner and also have the insight to hire the right people. Some computer savvy IT employees, some sales reps who know how to sell advertising on the web, some moderators who will be given very specific guidelines for their position, a person who answers all complaints in a respectful and timely fashion....(all of the above will be well paid of course)...I'll keep thinking....       :)

    Yeh ... what she said !
    There used to be such a massive feed of questions which went often mis-categorized or not at all. If there was someone surveying those pre-post things might have run smoother but that is just hindsight which is essentially me drivelling ... we also used to attract some really strange personas as well as spam spam wonderful spam. I suspect that the pop-up box system is no longer in place on other web sites, blogs, et al. So yeah baby ... money!

    The owners have to find a way to at least get a toolbar up  and back on Google!

    OLL!!!

    What got me here was that little box that read "Ask a question"


    Management and staff like Ducky responded is internally vital.

    That's how I arrived here. Someone in cyberspace, told me to "Ask a Question", so I did! Kinda strange when you think about it. :)
    Bob/PKB

    It took awhile for me to try it, but it was always there, and then, one day, OK, here goes
    bulletman

    Like Ducky and MsBob, Aka pop up just below browser and i thought i would give it a try, i have been hooked ever since, as i have said before it was rough for me for a while getting thumbs down, i was in minus for the first week and then i was suspended for a week, disagreement with you know who. --- :) ps i still get pop ups.

    @BM...You were somewhat of a "bad boy" when you first arrived. I remember!
    Bob/PKB

    I missed all that, as I've never "had a problem" with the B-Man.
    Ducky

    Moderator
    Some do not ever have "a problem" because a moderator has deleted comments BEFORE they were seen by most. That's the job of a moderator so I guess it works. :)
    Bob/PKB

    Thank you for making sure I didn't have a fit over B-Man's answers and questions, Ducky.
    bulletman

    Come on girls, let set the story straight, i did upset the Americans on this site thus the thumbs down, as for the suspension it was not warranted at the time, because as Ducky said the comments were deleted so others would not see the truth, believe me i was angry with her, i thought she was power mad, because of this my future comments were not as sincere as i would have liked, at least now the site is mostly free to say what we feel.--- Ducky and Pyth i feel are fair and square. i hope i did not upset you both by calling you girls, it's an Aussie thing.

    @BM and Bob...I'm pretty sure that we're all fine. :)
    P.S....."power mad".....indeed!

    Hey Kent,,imagine what would have happned if you had called them "Sheilas"..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
    bulletman

    Terry, i'm afraid i would not call any woman 'Sheila/s' as i always hated that saying, i prefer girls, i worked many years ago with 30 women and they loved being called girls. :)
    Ducky

    Moderator
    I've never had a problem with the "girls vs women" thing but I know that the younger generation does. Females in the work force here, want to be called 'women' and (many) resent being called 'girls'. I'm (getting) old so I love it. lol
    terryfossil 1

    @ Kent,sorry mate, where i grew up ,Sheilas and skirts was not meant to be an insult,,in some places if you whistle at a woman it is an insult,,however my wife reckons when they stop whistleing it means she has lost it..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
    Ducky

    Moderator
    Big 'no-no' here to whistle at a woman....considered very disrespectful.
    terryfossil 1

    Do not tell my wife that Duck..she likes compliments..she reckons if someone whistle at her at 70yrs,she will smile polite or offer to buy them a new pair of glasses..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
    Ducky

    Moderator
    I like compliments too....no 'construction dude' whistling thanks. :)
    terryfossil 1

    Okay Duck,i will hold back..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..
    Ducky

    Moderator
    You could sing to me though. lol
    terryfossil 1

    Okay Duck,here is my best song for you,,i do sing out of key..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxu3mBMhuCY

    Yikes! I'll take a whistle instead. :(
    bulletman

    In my state of South Australia it is an offence to wolf whistle a female, you may be arrested, brought about by 'feminists', the women/girls i know would loved to be whistled at. :)
    terryfossil 1

    I think you would find most do not mind Kent,,as long as it is not done in a insulting way,,from my point of view it is the same as saying"hey you look very nice".would you be in trouble if you walked up to a woman and said that..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<........
    Ducky

    Moderator
    @Terry...Surely you're joking! You would actually walk up to a complete stranger and tell her she looks nice? If a man did that to me, I would assume that either he has no manners or that he has mental problems. I would move away from him and fast!!!
    Ducky

    Moderator
    @BM...A 'feminist' is simply a male or female who believes that women should be treated equally and with respect. Nothing wrong with that from my point of view.
    Ducky

    Moderator
    We must stop this thread now. It's no doubt driving Bob crazy with notifications. Pose this 'compliment/whistling/feminist' situation as a question and see what you get.
    terryfossil 1

    @Duck,,when i was younger ,,yes,,as a married man ,no..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
    FISH-O

    Being whistled at is actually embarrassing.

    That is all I will say on the subject except that there is no way or place in my mind that I would actually think whistling at a very good looking man would in any way be deemed as acceptable.
    bulletman

    Fish, i have seen that, unusual, funny, a case of the shoe on a different foot. :)
    FISH-O

    ... And Johnny Depp is now just an old guy who looks as if he doesn't take a bath.

    In the moment BM I would venture to guess whistling at someone in a time and place seems like a really good idea... we are all going to become wrinkled old people and some of us are unfortunately going to become hairy and actually go to public swimming pools in Speedo swimming trunks.

    Now, that I have written that down I will give the whistling thing to you.

    Celebrate youth and beauty. !!!

    Maybe a, "You are young and you don't look like crap yet!", should be applied and also..... "Please don't think Speedos are cool and shaving is a good thing!".




    bulletman

    Fish, i'm, 66 one foot in the grave, what looks i had i lost a 50. when i was 25 i could pass for a 'Young Teenager' i hated it , now i am elderly i should have embraced it.
    terryfossil 1

    Hey Bullet,looking at your avatar,you look 25 with the helmet on..>>>>>>><<<<<<..
    bulletman

    Hey Terry, think i should wear a full helmet, every body might think i am a teenager or an idiot. :)

    I have noticed that other members ( other than us die hards ) ask what could be asserted as Legitiment Questions as 'we' have always, not all the time used Aka as a social media which i enjoyed, julie is really trying hard i think to bring about what we had originally or am i talking out of my hat.  :)

    terryfossil 1

    On the money Kent..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..
    FISH-O

    Maybe it has a lot to do with free time and also, a few members have passed away. Some were sick and recovered. ....
    I have very little free time these days.
    There is a lot more pressure. Prices go up but paychecks do not. And, raising a child is very different today. It requires far more parental supervision than ever before.
    Bob/PKB

    FISH-O, would it be OK for you to tell us who has passed? Since we generally don't know real names, I hope it wouldn't be intrusive.
    bulletman

    MsBob, i was thinking the same, as there are a few members we don't hear from at all, i check the Browser Users, there is a lot more than i thought.
    FISH-O

    I will have to go back through the archives however there was at least three. One was diagnosed with cancer, a very nice fellow. He was from somewhere like Romania and lived in California. Then there was that lovely Australian lady who had cancer of the mouth. .... and the woman who had lots of kids... Also very nice. I think her cancer was ovarian but I am not sure.
    Oh yes, there was a very sweet lady who loved her dog. Her avatar was a photo of her dog, a Yorkie. She wasn't on much and she was also diagnosed with cancer. I believe it was terminal as she was devastated and left the site abruptly.

    .....OK....valR. He was the man who lived in California. He was very nice and relentlessly questioned She Who Won't Be Named.

    The rest I can't find at the moment but, I am on my tablet. For some reason these things are limited. .... If I actually could use my computer I wouldn't have this problem. :D.
    bulletman

    Fish, i hope the Aussie Female Member is not who i think she is, i always looked forward to her outrageous Questions, i never knew if she was serious or just kidding. I'm a little upset, Thanks.
    Bob/PKB

    Thank you, FISH-O. I liked ValR and am sorry to hear of his passing. I think I know some of the others you mentioned. Sad that we have truly lost forever some of our friends here. : (
    FISH-O

    I know BM. That Aussie was hilarious. She was not joking when she spoke about her cancer.

    The other Aussie who was as funny as the day is long was not sick. I think she left as she was ticked off at how stupid she perceived us to be at the time. I did have one real life conversation with her and that lady is a gem. I still vote her answers up if I find one based upon how engaging her concepts were and are. Chinese sightings of Aliens never gets old!

    Bobette; Darn things anyway. :(
