Well, the forum has a HUGE following so there are quite a few people on-line at anyone time. I almost never respond in the Intro section but I got a chuckle out of your brevity.

:-) its a crazy world.. I'm frankly happy enough to have brought a smile to another... but the landlord, phone company, etc... expect a bit more from me.. hence, the attempt in college now... how does one post questions here, as i imagine i may indeed have a bunch as the semester progresses

Just click on "forums" for a listing of all the forums on the site, choose the one you want to post in and click on "Post New Thread". You'll have a few hours (I think it is) to edit you posts, after which they are no longer open to editing, and the subject line is never open to editing so be particularly careful that you get it the way you want it.

EDIT: and by the way, do NOT forget to read the rules. This is one site where they actually mean something.

Welcome to PF!

Don't forget to take some time to read our forum rules under the INFO tab at the top right section of our page.

 

[yosef]

ty very much

 

[jedishrfu]

ty very much

Also please try to use standard english words and no abbreviations like "ty". When I first saw it, I thought you were mentioning someone's name Ty as in Tyrone Power (1940's screen actor)

 

[yosef]

Yes, No problem. I just read that in the rules link which you suggested I click on. (And I capitalized 'I' as well). Thank you again
