Please impart your knowledge
 

I can't believe how many questions are placed here and I guess because of that, if there is no answer given in about 20 minutes, there is no answer given!

Please respond as well as ask. That is how a good board works.

Thanks!

Either that, or the large volume of questions begin to ratchet down and bury an unanswered question - then, people often don't look past the first 50 threads.

feel free to use a ttt post.

If you don't get an answer, JackB, top your own question by adding a post to the thread. Keep it in the top 50 and you'll get an answer sooner or later!

Mostly later, if you are not direct or amusing. IMO.

If you are not direct, it may be difficult for others to figure out what you are really asking. Often, not enough information is provided, e.g., "Help me choose a vacation destination." Well, do you like to gamble, hike, shop, go to the theater? Help us out a little!

Not being amusing does not seem to have any effect whatsoever on getting your question answered. Read the first 50 threads at any given time -- most are straight inquiries and replies.

My favorite header is:

Hotel?

or

Honeymoon Help?

Here's a bit of knowledge you may not have considered...

Put your pants on first, *then* your shoes.

Hope that helps.

Lee Ann :-)

Oh oh, I have one!!!

Remember where you left your pants if you have to put them on in a hurry :D

Scarlett, dear, are you speaking from experience?!? =-O I promise not to tell... :$

LOL, nooooo~

Oh, my goodness, Lee Ann, thank you so much for that information! No wonder I have so much trouble getting dressed in the morning! :-d

Good tip, Scarlett - just remember that the pants go on before the shoes...

Meesthare, I'm surprised you have such trouble getting dressed; after all, aren't you the one who figured out how to flip a coin in order to pick the best hotel room bed?? :-D

My favorite question is: "where should I go next". My hands are itching to type an answer to that, but I don't want to be kicked out.

Here is my biggest peeve on this site which always attracts some know it all answer:

People post questions on a location or state and do not select that state as the topic. This almost ALWAYS results in the person receiving none or very little responses because the post doesn't show up under that state when searched. I know there are a lot of people that only like to sift through the most recently discussed posts. However, there are also a lot of people who only or in additon to search their home state or places they are most fimilar with to give advice and to discuss.

I might look through a couple pages of the most recently discussed posts but on a good day, you could have pages and pages of recent posts. I don't sort through every one of themn to find something to reply to.

Lee Ann - these are two totally different areas of specialized knowledge. Perhaps in my detailed study of hotel room beds, I neglected to learn about how to get dressed in the morning - or in the afternoon, for that matter - but now that I've had it explained to me ... :) :)

Faina, if I posted the first reply that springs into my devilish mind when I read some of the questions, I would have been kicked off this board long ago. Sit on your hands, dear, like I do. :-D

As a wise woman once said, "Specificity is the soul of credibility", or in this case, an appealing thread title!!

I love it when posters write
"Advice needed about" say Wash. DC
I am sooo tempted to answer "don't go there...or ? weather in the Carolinas in August???
Hot and humid so go somewhere else!!!!
Of course I try to answer with helpful stuff..
Now that I've got that out of my system on with the day...

Marilyn - you're sitting on Faina's hands???? @-)

Meesthare, is that what that is?

I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: Marilyn is NOT sitting on my hands at this moment!

Well, now, Marilyn DID say "Just sit on your hands like I do ..."
Hey, so long as you're both perfectly comfortable, who am I to judge?

ROTFL - I interrupted that Marilyn wants Faina to sit on her hands (in otherwords Faina to sit on her own hands) as Marilyn sits on her own hands.
But than again I could be wrong.

It is Friday, right? Toooo funny!

Don't deny everybody -- those words bring a vision your head ;)

Are we denying everything again? Well, in this case, I deny being in denial! :-"

Well Faina, most people in denial do deny being in denial, don't they? LOL.
And Maryilny says ---- ?

Hmmmm, don't know about you two.

But than again, it is Friday!

Virtuous Me has been at the gym.
Now, honestly, folks! How would you phrase the sentence to express that Faina should sit on her own hands, as I sit on mine? (Without sounding stilted...)

The Naff Handsitting Rule Book says:
One should always sit on ones own hands except for the rare occassion when a friend or loved one needs their hands warmed or kept still.

This should only occur between consenting adults or family members or BFF, the rest have to go to the Naff store and get Personal Hand Warmers.

Marilyn, they are not saying, each of us must mind our own business, are they? :-@

And to follow Scarlett's etiquette advise, PLEASE make sure the handwarmer's are not denim with black trim. That is not naff (or maybe it is, I am still sooooo confused what naff is!)

LoveItaly, precious, Naff and Gormless mean that one is clueless LOL
Gormless though, sounds like something with no arms or legs , ick ick.

"My hands are itching to type an answer.."

"Sit on your hands, dear, like I do."

To help you resist the temptation, Faina.

OK Scarlett, thank you sooo much for the definition of "naff". Now I know for sure I am "naff". Whew, I was worried for a few days whether I was or was not. :"> For sure I would rather think of myself as "naff" rather than "gormless" you are right, that does sound yucky!!! What would my friends think.

I don't know about you, people, but I usually sit on other body parts, and use my hands for typing.

Must be the cultural difference - I was born in the former Soviet Union.

"Gormless" does sound like some formless greenish thing with a blobby look on its face. b(

Oh Faina, I told you in another post that I have some in-laws originally from Russia. And they too have strange customs!!!! When you sit on your hands than just put a pencil in your mouth and peck away on the keyboard or use your nose. No problem!!!!

Didn't realize there was a culture gap. "Sit on your hands" is for me the internet version of "Bite your tongue."
(Physically prevent yourself from replying.)

Hands off, everyone and give soneone a hand :)

Ciga, tooo funny! And a happy weekend to you!
