The character of some of you guys
 
is heart warming.

I received a PM containing an incredibly generous offer. I won't say who sent it or what it was but it truly moved me.

Given the vitriol that so frequently gets posted here I wanted to let you all know that thoughtfulness and kind gestures are not entirely absent in this space.

Musta been a bot.

Dude, I offered you some purple pills. It's not that big a deal. Plenty of older guys use them.

Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person!

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

You guys ... :DSmileWavy

Wasn't me. But, I'm glad someone was nice to you.

oldE 07-21-2023 06:44 AM

Yep. There are definitely some characters here.
However, when excrement the hits the spinning blades, having a fellow Pelican at your back is without question a big plus.

Yet if you agree to make a deal here, wait and see about the old expression, "If you wish in one hand...."

Yeah, of all the sites I have bought and sold at, this one has screwed me many times. I don't buy and sell anymore and that's because of the total amount of f-overs from all sites combined. Pelican was tied with CL until Nextdoor came along.

A long time ago I asked a question here about burning VHS tapes to DVDs. I hadn't been here long and I wasn't well known, but Scott loaned me the gizmo to do the conversions.
I knew then that I was in the right place.

Purple pills???

I think he means "blue pills", but maybe he's talking about one of the other options. I'm not up on all of the manhood engorgement meds.

flatbutt 07-21-2023 08:50 AM

Purple being a mix of red and blue might mean a middle of the road kinda thing. Maybe.

Anyhoo, this did not involve a sale just an offer to do something nice, un-prompted.

astrochex 07-21-2023 09:27 AM

Thats cool, flatbutt. Nice, mystery person.

Chocaholic 07-21-2023 09:32 AM

Despite heated discussions here and in PARF (ask Denis) I’ve never experienced anything but a brotherhood kind of culture here. As such, it’s not surprising you experienced the same Flatty. Kudos to whoever gave you warm fuzzies.

Superman 07-21-2023 04:26 PM

Don't get me started. In addition to priceless advice and knowledge, I got a free 1978 Honda CB750K from Aaron (BlueSkyJaunte) and had only to pay shipping.

Superman 07-21-2023 04:44 PM

Oops. There is more. I got a free quality eyepiece from Steve (Masraum) recently, which I appreciated very much. I didn't even pay postage. I figure I owe Steve a beer and i sincerely hope to pay up one day. Not because of the eyepiece. Because of his excellent posts.

I've made many friends here, and bought beers for some of them, which has always been a great pleasure. More recently, I've met Shaun and the Portland contingent and would LOVE to sit with them again.

My mom told me when I was young that ethics and loyalty would always be a major thing for me, and she was right. I have found those characteristics here, many times, in spades.

Thank you, Wayne.

It's called Karma, Flatty.

In other words....what goes around comes around....
