I didn't see that.

I liked Nitric's thread, but it got too over my head. As I said upfront, I am not smart. I could be if I have the material and am required to study and then be tested. But to retain all of the information, forget it.

That thread is way way way over my head....I do like to think about anything. I'm interested in human behavior type stuff, controls, etc.... But I don't have the memory for that thread. I can't remember what I read and typed 5 min ago , let alone 10 thousand years of stuff.

In the eighties when I was going to classes at Crowder it was kind of cute how the freshmen girls would cuss so self-consciously and look around as if they expected their parents to spring out and beat their butts
At work the women were the ones who used the f-word constantly and were the most crude. I noticed the men would go quiet and be embarrassed hearing these women use such language. Guys kind of knew you had to be discreet with cussing. I often got the sense some of these women were trying too hard.
It is funny to hear people on tv or radio talk about someone dropping f-bombs. Seriously that word is so common it is more like a wet firecracker.
I can cuss with great enthusiasm when something goes awry

By the way, Simon. If you die a dog goes for help. A cat will eat you.
My father sat up all night with dead people in the old days when there was no such thing as funeral homes. Some sort of tradition. But people feared cats getting near bodies.

I like to discuss things. But if it is just insults and daily talking points rather than real discussion that is another thing.
In my family we always discussed stuff around the table. But the goal was to insult and tease.
Even if you switched positions to do it lol.
I am tempted. But I know some folks can get mad and hurt over politics.

You have to look at that as a place to unload. There are some threads and posts of mine in there that are just nonsense and for a different kind of fun. At first, when it was first created, I tried to start threads just to talk and see other interests. It's really hard on the net to keep any conversation going and to get two people that will try to dig for real information or theory's. There are some smart people in there! My writing or articulating thoughts in a clear way? really sucks!!! I have some very strong views on thing and I've even told people that I disagree with, that it's all in fun! I've sent PM's to guys saying don't take any of my stuff personal. When I move to the next thread it's over...I don't even think about it anymore. we may be calling each other names, disagree, but the next thread is a different topic and we could agree.

You should join, it's fun when people actually want to discuss things. There are a few that pop in, regurgitate what they hear on the news and pop out. No real conversation. I can tell you what side of the isle they usually, not all the time, but most times are from.

Yes, I'm the same way, I worked in auto body,mechanics, construction, concrete,....I have two different languages, and can switch between them depending on the company. I think it should be considered bilingual!!

Most of the time I know what I want to say, but I just can not put it into the proper words so I either delete it and not post or end up sending an apology by p.m..

I managed to get past some of that, most people that know me understand that I skip all over the place in thought. I'll try to type stuff and leave words or whole sentences out. That and I never learned proper sentence structure or punctuation. I just guess by watching how others write. I never read one chapter all through high school, just went by what I remembered in lecture or guessed. I made it through!! But didn't help me in life by doing it that way.

I now remember PMing you about something. It was probably a couple years ago...Can't remember what it was about...I probably said something really stupid or made fun of a topic. I really don't remember.

I've also PM'd Bill from lachine...I remember doing it , but again don't remember what it was about...again, it was probably me saying something stupid or making fun of a topic.

I do that at times. I get caught in between one of my multiple personalities and can't remember which one said it so I have to go back and apologize for all of them

 

[Hillbilly Prince]

Nitric, the thing to do is read if you want to learn how to articulate what you think. In my opinion. Read the great writers and thinkers. Read humorists. Read cereal boxes lol. You are very articulate however.
As you might have noticed I am extremely serious in other threads
I don't mind insults if they are clever. One time I got this girl to go along with me in this forum to play a trick on another girl. You know how serious some people can be about "real music". We show up gushing about Britney Spears and how we adored her.
Our friend was a little nauseated to say the least. When we finally told her she called me The Queen Of Sad Little People. It still makes me laugh after all these years.
I may go there in time.

I worked around a rough crowd for a few years when I did concrete, They are like brothers to me, but nothing is held back! Sometimes, I get into that mode not really thinking. And I actually like pretty much everyone on the site. There may be one or two, but I don't see them on here recently.

I dropped out of college twice(on my own money). I get above average in math related grades, but....I have a real hard time retaining what I read. In short bursts I'm usually fine. But chapters? no, I could read it ten times and not really have a clue of what it's saying. I love to learn, I have every class of college book imaginable. I just have to pick short sections and teach myself.

I learned more and faster at my own pace, some teacher trying to cram it down your throat doesn't work for me. When I was younger, I took Spanish. Our teacher was from Mexico and expected us to be as fast as her. I struggled because she would not slow down. Half way through the year we were taking a verbal test. She asked me my question and I told her I did not know what she said. She got upset with me and said I was distracting the class and slowing it down. She banished me to the hallway for the rest of the year. When report cards came out I expected an "F". Instead she gave me a "D". If she had failed me I would have to take the class over, with a "D" I was out of her hair.

I actually had one! It had the Big block 318 that is only good for a boat anchor. It was a project that I drug home and it......never made it! We ended up scraping it, it was fom OH and just rotted too bad. I don't even remember what year (64?) or what the full name was, "sport fury""grand" etc... My brother and I had big dreams until we dug in! I Paid $65 for the car from the schools autobody program. It was a car that a customer dropped off and they never saw him again. After about 4 years the teacher sold me the car. I was graduated by then. It sat in the autobody bullpen the whole time I took the class.

I only made it a few weeks in spanish. We had a limit to where we could drop the class in High School. I gave it a try up to the last week you could drop it. I learned how to count that's about it. And even that I don't remember a whole lot. My wife and I started teaching ourselves German...But we didn't get far. We moved at that time and put it on hold and haven't gotten back to it yet.

Was the distributor in the front or back, do you remember ?
I was familiar with 318 small block and wide block then Big bock 383 440 ect. can't say as I heard of an actual Big Block 318 though. Not saying they did not make them, I just wasn't aware of them.
