OK, so spill it !  How do you “double thanks”?

Mine does it automatically!  Whether I want to or not…I think it only worked once as a single thanks.  Using Firefox 3.0 - maybe that’s it?  I usually double click things but I’ve been careful here to try not to but still - 99% of my thanks turn out as a double thanks…

Oh and just noticed - my ‘thank you’s’ exceed my post ratio! - lol….not hard to do though with only 30 posts.

Aha, that’s it…double clicking on the thanks button.

I’m also using Firefox 3.0 and always click once on the thanks button…hence, one thanks posted usually.  Now I get it.

I hope there is a handicap ramp. Don’t forget to bring your 10 girlfriends I have only seen about 7-8 of them since your avatar is cropped. My magnifying glass is falling apart trying to see what you look like.

BK,
Sorry about your magnifying glass.
Some of those girls are from my class at the gym.
You’re more than welcome to attend.
It’s quite different from the Sweatin’ to the Oldies class you seniors love so much.
Here’s a video of us working out.
Let me know if you think you can keep up!

How about some profiling exercise? How old do you think I am since you think I would qualify for the early bird specials?

I’ll go with turn of the Century.

Did you help bring down the Monarchy?

Persians, Russians…Ten, did you minor in history?  Or, more likely, are you really a history teacher at Uni?

skek - 19 July 2008 09:16 PM

I’ve noticed that ever since the secret of how to post double thank-yous got out, the value of a “thank you” has been devalued almost as fast as the dollar.  Still, BK’s ratio is crazy good.  IR2’s is pretty impressive, too.

Note to self: transfer development files to new laptop.  When in Podunk, Ca this week I might as well code for IHB as there isn’t much else to do after using the hotel gym.

Rasputin!  Genius!

*skek looking for any excuse to post his 500th post*

Congratulations skekster.  IR2 is hot on your tail in the high 400’s.  You had better get your posting volume up or he will most assuredly overtake…

I’ve got a different target: I’m shooting for top thank you/post ratio, but it’ll be difficult to catch bk (at over 1:2)! 
(Long-term service translates into worthwhile business.)

I have never checked on my “thank you” until IR2’s post. I have very limited time between family and occupation so I posted contents that will make a difference in helping IHBers making informed decision in understanding our built environment. At the end it is not about the race. Look at Zovall he is way below most posters but his contribution is monumental in providing the technology and working out all the bugs on this site. Quality of posts out weighs quantity of posts. For those who follow and enjoy my posts I express a deep appreciation. I wish I could be more candidly in expressing my personal view in the core subject relating to home purchasing but my hands are tied even in the country that values the freedom of speech.

I have helped people in finding a right home by analyzing floor plan functions, proper home sitings and community attributes. Future developments can hurt or enhance ones home value so do not make a bad decision without seeking proper guidance. I have helped several IHBers so far so dont hesitate to PM me. I do screen for Trolls!

Good point, BK.  Everybody should find a zovall post and double-thank him!

EDIT: I hit him up on this post.  Let’s see how many thank yous we can rack up for zovall!

Eh, that’s work safe.  Sort of.  Funny, when I used to go to aerobics, none of the girls looked ANYTHING like that.

Does even anyone do aerobics any more?  I thought they were replaced with spinning classes or pilates or yoga or something.

Judging by the outfits in that class I’m not sure you were even born when it was filmed, Ten.

Damn, the 80s were tacky.

Get ready Cay all designs are turning toward the 80’s for inspiration. Dark overtone of make up are back. Neiman, Saks, and Barney NY are advertising hard. Shoulder pads are back and so is Blondie’s music.

Are those outfits even allowed in a regular gym nowadays?  I cant imagine someone actually wearing those in public.

Check out the Fall issues of Vogue and Vanity Fair in a month and you will see what we all though were ugly will be trendy again. Remember the platform heels and wedges that we thought would never come back again have already invaded the stores. Here is the updated platform in disguise.

I already read an article in Vogue several months ago about the “new shoulder pad” and how it was different than the 80s version. Whatever.  All I heard was “it’s not as bad this time, so you can buy it!“

Platforms and wedges have been around for a year or 2 already.

I first realized the 80s were back in full swing when everything at Guess/Marciano looked like a vintage Madonna video and everything in H&M;reminded me of what I wore in elementary school.  I thought “wow…I remember this the first time around.“  This was last year.

I wasn’t suggesting they wouldnt be allowed in due to ugliness.  But that some managers would be pressured my members (or may already have it in the rules) to not allow people in with some rear skin showing.


And I have no idea what you are showing me from the shoes since I dont really pay attention to female styles/trends outside of the obvious stuff.  What is wrong with them?

Cay,

You are up to date but some members are little slow and not keeping up with the trend.

Some of the skin exposure will be back. Fitness club is there to make money and will change its rule to allow for trend. There might even be a spike upward of male enrollments. Ten is already on the waiting list.

I think you are the heir to my throne because your avatar looks just like my photo but in color my son.


BK,
Now that we’re finally vibing, time to change up that avatar.
We need to replace your bird house with something more hip and contemporary.
Here’s my suggestion for you.

“The most interesting man in the world” is the best beer marketing character, ever, IMO.  My favorite line:  “He’s a lover, not a fighter, but he’s also a fighter, so don’t get any ideas.“

Good choice for BK, ten.

Ten my son, you have to find me a better picture than this. Where are the other 8 girls? And the side profile of you is distracting.

Good first try nontheless.

Shoulder pads were ugly in the 80’s so what genius thought they’d be any better now?!
