Get rid of dryer sheet reference

[haha]

Any sighting of Uncle Mick recently? If I keep infringing on his trade mark, will he stop lurking? Heh heh heh...

About a week or so ago he was near Seattle and called me. I think he was driving back home after that, but he may have had some other traveling planned. I think I remember him saying that he didn't have internet access with him. I hope everything is well with him.

Ha

 

[haha]

Wow, CFB is a lurker! Sure have missed your humor and wisdom on this board. For Pete's sake, speak up now and again. Don't wait for someone proposing to do away with all references to bacon to post again!

Some recipes would also be helpful while you are at it, Bunny-Man. Do you do low carb soups?

Ha

WOW, CFB out of the wood work. Don't go running away again.

Simple answer: NO.

By the way, you were on my 'ignore' list from 2 years ago and I had to take you off to quote your silly request. I think that says a lot.

Oh, and Hi Everyone! See you in a couple of years or the next time some nimnol on my ignore list thinks we ought to do away with one of the foundational building blocks of early retirement.

By the way, I still tear my dryer sheets in half and if my wife drops a used one on the floor of the closet I pick it up and throw it back in the dryer.

So get used to it, limited contribution, quickly ignored person!

WOW!!!!!! Were ya been, Bunny! I have been missing the daily beating you used to rain upon me!

Meh. Come back when you have logged a few thousand posts.

No wait - this deserves a serious look. Occasional evaluation of standard practice has merit. For instance - I no longer use dryer sheets at all having changed to a softener ball that you plunk into the washer. Yeah... that's the ticket... "washer balls"... I like it

confused by washer balls
eschews washer balls
hordes washer balls
loves (to) wa.......

never mind

 

[haha]

never mind

Getting a little gltbu on us are you?

Many still use the sheets so I guess some have no balls.

Hello admins,

I was looking through the User CP for an option to get rid of the reference to dryer sheets that appears under my username (recycles dryer sheets). I couldn't find an option to disable it.

Is there such an option?

If not, maybe the forum should consider eliminating that whole dryer sheet theme. I do understand that it refers to the frugality practiced by many here, but it really lacks appeal for many others.

My thanks for this post. Don't care about dryer sheets at all, but am jazzed to see CFB pop up.

Hey, I've nattered away enough on this forum that I have Picasso status...



.....ohhhhh...and hi CFB....

 

[Sarah in SC]

Even if I think the original post was ridiculous, I am thrilled that it flushed CFB out of "retirement" to comment. I think all of the old timers love the dryer sheets! And ball-washing! And being renamed "Jennifer" on that long-ago day by BMJ.

Only one post(er) that could draw me out of self-exile before this election is over... Great to hear from you CFB!

Back into lurking mode until November 3rd...

50% WR anyone?

As I hang dry my stuff, I find the dryer sheet reference wholly inappropriate and not a little presumptuous. Now that that's off my chest I will turn to another weighty issue, namely which surf forecast to check first.

He posted over at Bogleheads in the last few days so he's around.

Oh and thanks for checking in CFB!

 

[Free To Canoe]

Wow.

DD, thanks for mentioning this.

Ha

 

[bruce1]

CFB Glad you are still around on occasion.

 

[ls99]

Geez have not seen so much excitement since the last election.

 

[hankster]

Hell, I like emoticons. Woo hoo! The Bunny's back!

And Westernskies too!

Even if I think the original post was ridiculous,

Why would it be "ridiculous" to ask if there's an option to turn off or change the description in someone's profile?

What is actually ridiculous is the lousy job the moderators of the forum have done in this thread, which is full of personal attacks and nastiness.
