1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I still haven't figured out multi-quotes, or creating polls.

 

So.... you're the old dude now.

 

I just wanted to be thorough with minimized redundancy.

 

crossed arms, grey beard, standing at the back and all.

...except for the bands I really love. I get right up front for those and don't mind mixing it up with the kids that don't know the words and just want to dance.

I was upfront, right behind my friend MaryAnn (who was on the rail) for both of these shows two years ago. Probably the two greatest shows I've ever been to. I still get chills.

Multi-quote is easy, and handy.

Basic operation is this:

Click the circled "button" here.



You can click that on every message you want to quote, even moving through a couple pages on a thread. Then click the "Insert Quotes" button pictured below. It will pop up a list that you can review and remove comments from.






That's your basic and easy way. If you only want to quote or multi-quote certain line out of a book somebody posted, then you just highlight the part you want and it will pop a mini menu near the text with a Quote and Multi-quote option.

 

The multi quote button has never worked for me. I just quote somebody and before posting reply I quote somebody else.

Polls have a strange operation where you create the thread and have an option to add a poll after you posted.

 

I was today years old when I learned the "Insert Quotes" button needs to be used for multi-quote. Thank you for sharing your superior forum wisdom.

 

Took me some time to figure it out, too.

 

If you start a new thread there's a thread tools button. Push it and you can start a poll.

 

To add to this, any message you've got in multi-quote will have the words "multi-quote" highlighted in the bottom right of the message. If you selected it in error, just click the button again and it will be dropped from the list.

 

On another note, I went into Discount Tire today to get new tires for the Rav4. I got them to price match Amazon and saved $36 per tire. I was a little surprised they would price match an online retailer. I'm pretty much a Discount Tire customer for life.

 

I've never seen that button. I'm glad we never "shooed" you out of here... successfully.

Probably why The "Mangler" has not started a poll !

 

@chrisb I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. So you are actually closer to your dream than a lot of us.

Can you open your own shop?

This is starting to remind me of the last season or 2 of the office.

 

I’d much rather run someone else’s shop than own my own.
I’ve not seen 2 episodes’ worth of Office clips cumulative.

 

Last parts just arrived via UPS.
If I weren’t leaving for the weekend Friday morning, I’d be starting on the truck’s suspension.

 

Interesting vehicle came today

 

4 or 5 years ago I stopped by a mulberry tree in a fence row on the way back to my house. I had watched it for a year or 2 and it never produced. I have another named mulberry tree. I took a few cuttings and grafted them onto the mulberry in the fence row. The original tree had two main trunks.

 

Ariel Atom?

 

Are mullberries edible? And isn’t that what silk worms get down on?

 

Yes

 

Toyota 4 banger powered?

 

They are 100% edible and awesome. As long as you don't mind stained fingers. The young leaves also go well in salads. Deer/cows/horses will eat all the young leaves on a small tree. They are fragile and do not store well. This tree will give me a hand full of berries everyday for 1-2 months.

 

Iirc those were honda powered. The lotus Elise has the toyota 2zz.

 

That and the one with moe throwing barney out!

 

that fence is in the way of the monkey, but the weasel can probably slip through.

 

I never knew mulberry trees had berries until this year. The house I grew up in had 3 of those in the front yard for around 10 years, never saw a single berry.

I did feed the leaves to silkworms in elementary school.

I think there are male and female trees. The female plants have the good stuff.

 

Don't they always
