Status: offline 		Here is a pic of a small medicine bottle and a old toy that came out of a 2nd floor ceiling I'm replacing. The bottle is pretty neat because it has the name of the family that built and lived in my home....Reads...For William Dull Jr. take 2 pellets every 2 hours C. E. Stevenson, M.D. 109 Pike St. Pt. Carbon, Pa. The toy is a scuba diver I guess, it is 7" tall and is pretty heavy.

Status: offline 		with an attitude like that you will get no responses, and people will not want to talk to you...it was just a warning for your own good, but its your choice, you can be an asshole because someone tried to help if you want

Status: offline 		It figures the past 3 or 4 times I posted questions about bottles, I got no responses. I post a pic of a steel toy and I get a response that offends me. It must be because I am an asshole. Thanks for clearing that up. This will be the last time I post on here or ask qustions...because i am clearly an asshole.

You could certainly have been more gracious and tactful with your response to Buster... It's all about tone and what's between the lines in the written word... I would say there was no offence meant in Buster's reply...

Status: offline 		Never mind JW I'm often mis-understood on this here forum. Ok lets see what you have here. From your photo there is definetely a spot to attach an air hose. What you have here is one of those things that goes into a fish tank and blows bubbles. Is it made of plastic? Do you have a fish tank? If so I'd put both the diver and the bottle in it. what kind of fish do you have? I have a tank full of haddock!!! I'm trying to grow a lemon tree in the back and then boy watch out! Have you been into the aquarium hobby long? It's very relaxing and just imagine how much more so it will be with your little plastic dude blowing bubbles!!! Your fish will have a high old time I tell ya! Any way thank you for sharing your hobby! Ever think about collecting bottles? Not as relaxing as fish, in fact it can be down right stressful at times, but you can make tons of friends. Great little hobby!
Here's mine.

Second time I've tried to be helpful on this forum with negative results.  May be the time for me to pack up and move on.

Status: offline 		It may be time for someone to move on Buster but it's not you! You're an integral part of our little community and would be sorely missed. We as a whole don't always see eye to eye and the occasional spat breaks out now and again but we take care of our own, as can be seen from the answers to JW's rudeness. I'm sure he meant no harm in his answer to your more than reasonable response to his questions, but his rebuttal was tasteless and embarrassing. Shame on him and good for you for having the nerve to answer a fellow members post! Not everyone does for fear of being wrong. You sit right here with the rest of us and enjoy the forum for what it is. A place that our sometimes dysfunctional family come to exchange ideas, information and the bigger questions in life like "what's it worth"  Lobeycat aka The Prince of Lobeycat

Status: offline 		Logueb- I'm sorry!! Thank you for your response, I am sorry I responded the way I did. Had a very bad day and just took it the wrong way. I am not perfect and I am sorry.

I am not a collector of bottles or fish or aquariums , but I enjoy digging and keeping the bottles I like.  I on a typical day enjoy this forum and the various responses, and the vast amount of knowledge the group shares. I have also realized its my time to move on...I agree I was wrong! But calling me an asshole and the group insulting is not right. Best of luck to you all! Regards John
