I am a simple guy Fred. no, I may not be educated in the way of forming a sentence or in the spelling of some words but that's only effected my life with my on line abilities, nothing more.
Yes it was a slip, sorry about that ,
One thing you should know by now is if I intended to say something it wouldn't be in the form of a play in words.
see I read things in a simple ways , when you wrote "FAKEBOOK" It look to me that you were trying to say that something was fake witch struck me odd because I don't see anything fake about the use of facebook.
unlike what I do see with so many so called predator hunters on theses sights.
so the irony i see in you reply is that your to cool for facebook but not for cartoons
and i think when you used the word satrical you realy ment satirical PAL ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I know some very bright people that are atrocious spellers. But, is there any reason, these days with the spell checkers available, if you care? I mean, REALLY CARE, like Dan does.
Knockem, that facial expression with the mad bomber hat; is it because your thong is too tight? BWAHAHAHA!

LB,
I am not afraid to say that sometimes the spell check don't help me . because I don't read much better then I spell. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
these flaw I have with reading and writing really do bother me,, but only to a point ,
I wouldn't be a nicer guy or a better man if my spelling or sentience structure was better and thats what i think counts.
ps
Since I been retired and since the teaching of people with my learning problems have advanced so far i often thought about using up all my free time and going back to school and learning what they were unable to teach me back then.
but it gets in the way of hunting and hunting I have found to be the best way in using up my free time ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

No harm no foul then, George.
Heck I prefer Fred anyway, 'specially since we've already met in person.
Besides, Fred is THE easiest name to type...all the letters are touchin' on the keyboard

c'mon George!! You need to give yourself more credit than that. Sometimes people take jabs about spelling and such like men will do but NOBODY on this site thinks less of you because you miss a word once in a while. I wish I was half the hunter that you are, I envy you.

If somebody other than George had misspelled that, I might wonder a bit, but I think it was an honest mistake on his part, Kind of a funny one, but just a simple mistake.
The thing about Facebook is you can make it as much or as little as you want. There are privacy controls to keep the riff raff off your page. Or, if you are gregarious or a herd bird, you can talk to the whole world. It is useful for family's to stay in touch, or groups of friends, and allows photo albums, which can be nice.
But I am careful about how much personal info I give out on it.

Then throw up.
I have absolutely no problem with George or the way he types his posts, I see no harm in encouraging him and I've seen enough of him on the boards and heard enough about him to know that he's a hell of a hunter.
Where's the problem with that?
btw....TAs gone.

Facebook. To each his own.
I can count my friends on one hand and I'm talking Lonesome Dove friends. We talk at least once a week on the phone and thats plenty.
It's a social network and I ain't social.

Must be, Randy? Of all the campouts you have attended, I don't remember you sitting around the campfire with the rest of us. We can't stink that bad!

My wife is on there. She has 2 accounts and a few thousand friends. I tried it for a while, but just didn't really fit in on there.

You are swimming upstream, Cal. That's the message I have been getting, as well. This is the Internet age. Smart phones, twitter, social networking, and blueRay, whatever that is?
I mean, really? Are you still on dial up? That's so damned exasperating, it's enough to get a man to log off forever.
Honestly, I'm in the same boat. I don't perceive a "need" for all this tech shit. Now, they tell me, email is dead, and yet I have about 680 unread emails. I just can't keep up. Some of these people are prolific sources, but really, I can't open everything I get, as it is.
The digital age is bewildering for fossils like me, but you have a fair chance to get up to speed, and get with the program. And, while you're at it, send Obama $5 for his reelection campaign, help the environment.

PS, ignore that last sentence, I wanted to see if you were paying attention.

A long time ago an old farmer once told me that the true measure of a man's wealth & freedom isn't the stuff that he has, but rather the stuff that he can do without. That statement makes more sense to me now than it did when I was a teen-ager. I see people everyday that are totally dependant on the latest electro-gizmo. Basic skills & common sense are falling by the wayside.

Took the wife to the city today, doc was sure she needed more stints. Long story short, she didn't and we stopped by Red Lobster in Norman on the way home since we had just saved $100,000. and it is lobsterfest!
Anyway, Norman of course is home to OU and there was probably 20 college kids in there, some with there parents, one table full of guys another table with 3 girls all around my table.
Every one of them had a cell phone and was texting, tweeting or whatever you do instead of talking. None of them were engaged in a conversation with their company at their table.
And then I look at Dave's awesome pics and think well just how far have we come? We're still drawing pics of our lives, only now it's on facebook instead of a rock wall...
