So, Jake, you think the toilet should be flushed MORE than once a day?

So if you only flush the toilet once a day what do you do when you have guests and there is a bad round of hor derves? (SP) I'd hate to get sloppy fifths after all those people dropped a duke before me.

One place where we lived down here in the Keys there was a plaque on the wall above the commode that said, "In this land of sun and fun, we never flush for number one."

Let it mellow.

Wasn't that on "Meet the Folkers"? they did live in Biscayne, didn't they?

I did say I was an admitted water waster. After finally breaking the dog from searching for her favorite "Kitty box crunchies", I didn't want to start her on another bad habit!

A long time before that <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> California used it in the late 70s or early 80s.

Not flushing is gross. But I have my own well, so I guess if you are trying to save money in the city. But yuck. Even if it is #1.

Excuse me folks, but I just have to call "BS" on this thread.

This forum is very (censored) up on this here deal. Lately, my "five star rating" was struck down to three stars, then it went back up to four. Why, I do not know.

But this slam on bad language (of which I have really never done) is getting to be pretty rediculous to me.

So take a look at this and then tell me what you really think. By the way.. as a West Coast sailor, you might notice that I won't survive this opinionated foret into this forum. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

It amazes me that you people claim you want to get more women involved in sailing. That you want to get more kids involved in sailing. And yet on this forum I am seeing the F word used more and more.

Why the F--- do you guys do that on a forum that may be read by women and children?

Do you want your young child, who is reading about sailing, to ask you, "What does [censored] mean?" Or, "What does F--- mean?"


Excuse me for saying so, but didn't this forum user (owner) just recently start a thread on something about "what is your best way of using a bad word on a public forum?"

Mary asks for your suggestions on h...way that the web site does not censor it

I have always wondered how users get those ratings, and I never bothered to find out, because I think it is a dumb feature of this forum. But now that you mention it, I figured out how it is done. And, it appears that the number of stars is the average of ratings that people have given you, so I guess if additional people rate you, and give you lower ratings, it would bring your average down. Right now five people have rated you.

However, I do not know whether somebody who has already rated you is able to go back and change their rating of you at a later time. Does anybody know that?

Rating threads makes a little sense, but not rating users.

As far as censoring certain words, I don't like it, and I think the word "censored" is just as bad as, or worse than, using the word it replaces. That's why I have been appealing to people to, instead, censor their own language and think about who might be reading it -- like your mother or grandmother or your children or grandchildren.

Why can't y'all just use the graemlins when you feel the need to get across your emotions? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I know I once said that I don't always trust graemlins to be honest about what a person really means by their words.<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> But in most cases I think they work pretty well. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

According to Spongebob that I watch with my 6yr old.

These are what you call 'sentence enhancers'. Just sprinkle those words over a sentence and "BAM" you got yourself a Spicy Sentence Sandwich! !

I make a motion that we replace the censored word with "SENTENCE ENHANCER" like he suggests.

Now, if you will just give me the formula for crabby patties, I will be on my way... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

That's good!

I should appologize for the statements I made where I went as far as to say that "I have never" used the bad language. That couldn't be farther from the truth and every time I use an absolute term such as "never," I regret it. Well maybe not *every* time, but there I go again!

I surely agree that keeping the language clean sets forth a higher standard and is a good thing to do.

Sometimes you just want to cuss!

So often I say something in a posting that I regret. Rarely I am able to edit it back out of the post. Today is an example of a failure to edit. By the time I decided that I had put my foot in my mouth, the ability to edit had already timed out.

Say, I wonder if that amount of time could and should be increased?

Here's a few spicifiers to liven up my post.

OK, back to toilets...

I am military and my lovely wife of 15 years has learned that you should always do a preflight and a postfligt BDA (battle damage assessment). Sometime a flush is not enough! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Flush twice if necessary and clean up that collateral damage! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Is it just my girlfriend or do all women hold on to it forever? The three flush isn't uncommon in our house. Four isn't outta the question. I should market it for Japanese TV. How many flushes? They could gamble, it would be great. Probably more popular than You Tube. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In the case of the F word thread, I just felt the need to vent about it. And from reading the responses on this thread, I think some men don't realize that many women (at least all the women I know) consider the word to mean rape. It is a term that suggests violence, usually against women.

I can certainly appreciate where all this is going, but I do not take offense to this word. There are other words that truly disgust me, but F--- is not one of them and I kinda like it. My man and I read this with many laughs and he says it's all about luuuuv.
