Thread: G'Day from Colorado

By the way i know this is not the right thread to ask but i went blank on What sanding disc is made of metal and cuts the wood with small cutters on the disc? I seen an advertisement but can not seem to find it now.It comes in fine,medium and course. It claims the wood is cut not rubbed off like with the regular sand paper.

Glad I stepped out for a while tonight. Missed the fun I see. The problem with no face to face is you can't get a good feel for what is really being said and why. So.... I'll call it all good and we can be friends.

Circle around, time for Kumbaya and a group hug!!! I'm really glad I'm here and I know that there's a lot of learning and laughter taking place.

Well, as we say in the southern U.S. "Bless your hearts"!

My apologies to anyone and everyone (though I'm not sure exactly why).

Pam,

I consider Seppo a term of endearment.

Ralphtaff,

It was just good natured banter, not a political statement (but out of context, sorry).

That's why we have those little emoticon thingos off to the right there. It helps us replace body language and facial expressions when writing on the forum.

If I have a go at anyone, you will not have to guess what I meant, it will be plainly evident. For now, I will just fall on my sword.

Ah welcome Pam,
Glad to see you septics have made up

I'm looking forward to the next slanging match in the "Nothing at all to do with woodwork" forum and I think you'll find it entertaining as well besides the great woodworking found here.
If you watched Monty Python at all it would be known as "The room for the arguement".

Cheers
Mike

Mike,
I am the oddball in my family, and amongst many of my friends. I do not like Monty Python. My husband and daughter think it's a hoot. Thankfully I have a couple younger kids who have never seen it so we can blissfully go about our merry way when they go at it!

I think the slang fest forum could be riot and will have to wander that way in the near future.

One of these days I will actually have a woodworking type of comment or question. Until then I will soak up the tomes of info here.

Bob, hope your sword was sharp and sanitized so you will heal quickly with little to no damage.
To tell the truth, I did not even see you were from the US until after and thought you must have had a bad American encounter. Glad to see that is not the case

ANYONE: why do I not see a choice of emoticons around here? I'm confused.

Pam,

When you click the Post Reply button at the bottom left of the previous post, you should get a "window" in which to make your reply, and to the right there should be a number of emoticons available to you. In fact, there are 27 showing and if you click on "more" you will get about a squillion from which to choose.

Bob, Here I am replying but not emoticons anywhere to be seen. Could they be hiding somehow??? I the box down below to the left it does say the smiles are on, but they are just not here.

I dunno exactly. But post this question in the Support forum and one of the gurus will help you out.

Could be that you used "quick reply" rather than the other reply button. They don't come up then. There are also short cuts. Like if you want to do an ordinary smile you type ":" and ")" together and you get. All the other ones grew from that. The whole list is an amazing revelation. My favorite is and .

You are right. I was using quick reply. This time I did not and viola there are smileys galore to the right.

Such a simple thing. I am known as electronically challenged in my family! Ignorance is not always bliss.

Thank you so much!!!

Right again? (They still haven't got the knocked me down with a feather smilie.)

I guess if you doo one thing and it kinda worked its hard to think of another way. In quick reply you can also "go Advanced" which brings up all the smilies and attachment aptions. But I don't quite know how to use all of that, I can post pics and links. The rest is a mystery.

Tea Lady, if you can post pictures than you are miles ahead. I have three different places on the web that I could post pictures. Could being the operative word, since I could if I could figure it out. My new year's resolution is to master this. Once upon a time I figured it out in one place. Then - shazam! - it could happen no more. So I decided to let it be. Now I'm ready for the challenge. A friend and my husband are going to help me figure out where I am taking a wrong turn in the process.

I'm thankful for you and your help.

There is a useful Tutorial compiled here by myself on how to attach pictures to your posts ;;
