I've either been away or "busy" and missed Week 7 altogether so here we are on Week 8 - or is it Week 9? No matter. Time waits for no man. This latest edition has a few more "Honorable Mentions" than usual so the list is longer than normal.
Number 5: A common remark made by new members....."Been lurking here for about a week now. " Why is it that the forum attracts so many "lurkers". To me, a lurker is someone who lies hidden in ambush and slinks or sneaks about spying on people. They move in secret - trying to remain unnoticed.
Why do new members lurk? C'mon out in the open where we can see who you are. No need to sneak or spy on us.
Number 4: YUK! :eek: Is the black tank full? Getting full? Half full? Here's a member who has his own unique way of solving this problem. "After a while I just get a feel for the level in the black tank and dump/flush when needed."
Can you just imagine him with sleeve rolled up reaching down into the toilet and "getting a feel for the level"? YUK :eek:
Number 3: This one is from one of our more verbose members who is never at a loss for words. He really went out of his way to post the minimum number of letters in a post.
"Subscribed".
Number 2: What have you learned about camping? Well, this member's Number 1 thing is:
"The campsite I really wanted , the one someone is just now setting up in, would have been available if I hadn't taken the wrong turn at the shortcut through town."
Sound familiar? Does to me.
Number 1: Now, who could possibly throw the baby out with the bathwater? Well, it seems that one of our members might have inadvertently done just that. Here's his advice on giving a bath to a toddler in an RV without a bath tub....
"I know this sounds crude, but a large plastic tote that fits in your shower works great. Sometimes when it is warm out, we would fill it with the outside shower faucet, bath him outside and dump on the ground when done. Our little one didn't care."
Now there's one tough little guy!
Honourable Mention:
1) Ever worked for the government? Here's a comment from one of our members who thinks he might want to...
"I have another two beers to go and I think it'll be good enough for government work. Ahhh.... the old empty bottle count rating system...I know it well."
2) And what about this member who wants to install some black out curtains to keep the sun out?
"The cat does like it when we open the blinds for her during the day but since she doesn't make any payments, I'm not concerned about her opinion."
Nothing like a cat with attitude!
Keep 'em coming! Enjoy.
