Hey All!

A six-month ban means you provide too much value to ban permanently.

It's good to see there are still a handful of real marketers still around...gluttons for punishment.

I probably won't be posting much since I've spent most of the summer on the river working on one of my cabins. No Internet or phones or other annoyances. Life really is good when a river runs through it.

Just wanted to say "Hey" to some people, you know who you are.

Have Fun!

Brent

    Thanks, Mark!

    Behave this time
    If speaking the truth is misbehaving, then "behaving" is not in my repertoire.

    In my view, failure to speak the truth is the beginning of a slippery slide....


    Diplomacy...tact...now that's a different subject


    "You are an idiot" is rude


    "You are an idiot, ma'am" - not so bad....


    Sometimes sitting on my hands is the best idea of the day....

      As mentioned above, for speaking the truth.

      There are many here who have no interest in reality and having it pointed out is more than their fragile egos can handle.

      I used to think it was important to make sure people, especially newbies, were not pumped full of BS that will almost surely sink their chances of success.

      The "Admin" of this forum is more interested in pulling the wool over people's eyes in a desperate attempt to make a buck.

      Now I suggest you use the forum for your own purposes and leave the clueless newbies to the mercy of the "passion" people.

      I'm going back to the river.

        Chocolate? Check.

        Smokes? Check.

        TV remote directly in front of a scenic river view? Check.

        Yep. It's official. You have the most random table top ever.

          Just for fun, I spent 77 days during Summer 2014 in a large cabin tent and a pop-up screen tent on the river bank. That's why I have all that stuff. That view is out of the front "porch."

          It was way beyond cool!

          The most interesting part, for me, was that after a week or so being only feet from the river I could no longer hear the water gurgling unless I listened for it.

          Some more of my wilderness:



          One of my bridges during high water:



          The view from the Summer cabin:



          The Summer Cabin:



          From the Winter cabin:





          Sadly, my old, crippled-up ass can't do Winters there anymore. I must admit though, central heat and "grid" electricity is nice.

        I have attempted to do my best to pick up the slack in your absence. No idea how I have survived it, because as anyone can attest, I have not pulled any punches.

        I'm thinking I must have better communication skills and probably, even when I'm at my worst, my sunny disposition still manages to shine through in overpowering fashion.

        Yeah. That must be it. :-)

      Ah, but being disgusting and drunk is an oxymoron
      Being drunk says it all, but you don't have to be drunk to be disgusting.
      Like my dog for example, likes to gorge on his own poop.

        Get you dog to a vet. Your dog eating your cat's poop is one thing, eating it's own (coprophagia) can be the result of certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

        Additionally, it can be the result of stress. I know this because it is what causes me to eat my poop.

          Now that is disgusting. All to yourself? How could you?
          My puppy would love to share it with you given you two

            I don't play well with others and I certainly would never consider sharing my poop. Does your pooch share his poop? Well, then. There ya' go!

            You poop, don't you? Well, then - dig in.

    Welcome Back Brent.


    I have never been banned, but soon after the new management took over I received a flurry of infractions, and notices of rule violations such as signature going over 2 lines, and suddenly beneath my name, my huge number of posts and thanks received disappeared, never to be restored.


    I have persisted, and have re-built my reputation to some extent, but although I was still answering questions on my AMA Ask Me Anything About Product Sourcing And Importing For Profit. ― Veteran Importer Here as late as April this year, it was suddenly closed soon after my latest post there.


    I think I would have preferred a 6 month holiday like Brent.
