I have often wondered why on earth it's even called "common sense." It seems an oxymoron at the very least. It's like manners. Didn't all adults at some point have mothers who said "be polite"? Or at the very least, didn't a grade school teacher or two raise the subject? What on earth happened? I wasn't given the impression that my mother's mandate (for it was indeed a "mandate," no options here!) on good manners had an expiration date. "You only have to be polite when you're a child...but when you get to be an adult, all rules expire and you can be an idiot - especially in your place of business because that's just ever so becoming and will guarantee you go far."

A story: :)

My youngest daughter was in a spelling bee in middle school. The word given was "doughnuts." She, being my daughter, spelled it "doughnuts." The teacher cleared his throat, looked startled, and said "uh...of course that's correct, however I was looking for 'donuts.'" My daughter gaped at him until he blushed scarlet. She fumes about that to this day.

You's a gwown-up, CTB, and may of course spell the word however you choose. :D (You may *not,* however, spell "bouquet" as "bokay" as the florist in town did until I went in and said "if I buy one from you will you change that horrible sign?!?!?!?" The owner looked at me and said "you're kidding. It doesn't really say that?") :lol:

I bring this whole thing up because of that very human quirk. Ever been with someone who mispronounces a word horribly...then you find three seconds later you have to use the same word and do the mind scramble trying to find a replacement word so that you don't have to either A. mispronounce it, too, so you don't embarrass your friend or B. pronounce it correctly and just hope for the best?

I was going to make a cute little bit about "doughnuts?!?!?!? There will be *dougnuts*!!!!" :happy45: I even had the smilie mentally picked out. Then I hit a wall. That's not how I spell that word. (I think it's fallen into general usage so much it's no longer considered a misspelling by most dictionaries.) But...it's not how I spell it. I tried to force myself to spell it your way. My fingers said "nope." So I told the story about my daughter and the spelling bee...and then dragged out the happy smilie.

I like doughnuts, no matter how they're spelled. Especially the old fashioned kind. I really, really liked the Dunkin' Donuts ones with the handle built into them...although I never dunk them. I think that's a great way to screw up a cup of coffee.

I think we need Gonzo in here with some virtual dough/do/nuts! :okthumb:

CTB I have no problems with you.

But Lee fucked over someone and someone(s) who thought he was a friend.

Not getting the best of someone over a deal , thats fair game...but literally walking into a "friends" house and stealing the silverware.

Not a straight out scam. At least thats front on.

Nope his way , was weasel his way in, get given the keys, and then steal.

No worries though. :)

I'll still buy you dinner.:)

And as far as he is concerned....... I'll bide my time :)

When ( I say "when" , not "if") he fucks you over , you'll see.

Come on Nick. Fair is fair. Spammers are all cut from the same cloth. This is the pot calling the kettle black. You guys would sell your sisters for a big "double opt in" list. Money talks and friendship walks.

:tpe:
I'm one of those weird people that see a difference between spammers and scammers.
And if you've got a double opt-in list, it's not spam. :)
