RE: gas station stuff - 3/18/2007 5:06:47 AM    L C   Posts: 1588 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hello Kristian, started to reply in a message above to you and goofed things up! I am new on here, and was trying to make a trail run to see how this forum worked, and that is when I got into trouble! My true hobby of interest is collecting vintage bottles. I have collected them for the past thirty years. I have collected gas and oil for a number of years now and have many gas and oil collectables as well. Sold my three gas pumps to help make room in my garage, so I am unable to show you any pumps at present. Here is a picture of a quart size Essolube Bottle oil bottle I bought on eBay from a person in England. Still need to clean it up yet. Will try and post some of the other oil memorabilia I have collected for you at a later date. And I hope you have a happy upcoming birthday as well ! Take care, L C Attachment (1) (in reply to L C) Post #: 3

I see in the message I sent to you above that the pictures did not show up. Tried again in this post and still no luck. Can not figure out what it is I am doing wrong, will try again at a later date. Sorry for wasting your time, L C < Message edited by L C -- 3/18/2007 5:29:10 AM > (in reply to L C) Post #: 4

When you download just hit the embed picture in post before you hit the click here to upload. Hope this helps. Joel  _____________________________ (in reply to L C) Post #: 5

RE: gas station stuff - 3/18/2007 8:41:58 PM    L C   Posts: 1588 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hello Joel, and thank you very much for the reply.  I guess I am still in my ignorant mode this evening. If the pictures are attached, why it it I can not view them in the post, or are you telling me I need to Embed them first as you have stated, and then upload them again in order for them to be in the reply? Again, thanks for the reply. I hate get start off to a bad start when I go to do something for the first time. (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 6

RE: gas station stuff - 3/18/2007 8:50:35 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline aYup, that pretty much covers it. Try hitting the white square below "embed picture in post" before hitting the link "Click here to the upload". You will figure it out quickly as this sight is pretty user friendly. There are some little quirks you will quickly find out about as well, such as timing out if you ponder to long with your prose. I write the longer posts in a word processor and then copy and paste. Good luck. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to L C) Post #: 7

RE: gas station stuff - 3/18/2007 8:58:21 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline I took the liberty of putting the picture through an editing proram and posting it for you until you get the hang of it. Don't worry about making mistakes. Everybody here did until they got the hang of it. We will helpyou to fly. Joel Attachment (1) _____________________________ (in reply to L C) Post #: 8

RE: gas station stuff - 3/18/2007 9:22:49 PM    L C   Posts: 1588 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Thanks Joel, you are a Scholar and a Gentleman ! I was trying posting a pic the other evening just to see if I could do it right the first time. I just used any pic I had handy, and I did it right the first time. Then I realized I could not figure out how to cancel the post on the page I was taken to after it download in the message, so it ended up on the post with a goofy picture I was attemping to send to the youngster online! I did manage to delete the picture, (Still haven't figured out how the devil I did that either), as well as edit the message so it would at least make some sense of things. Thanks again for the help, L C Attachment (1) (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 9

RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 12:14:31 PM    L C   Posts: 1588 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hey Joel, didnt know a person was expected to be perfect in order to be on this site, had I known, I might not have joined up. I have to admit, I do get in a hurry sometimes, and will make errors.  But I promise I will try to be perfect for Bottlboy4419 in the next life.     Thanks again for the help with the pictures. It really is simple to use, just got in too big of a hurry I guess. Blasted computer blew up the other evening. I hooked an old one back up that I had before. My DSL does not want to work part of the time, as well as My keyboard. For example, the explanation mark and the number one. but it will work off of the keypad alright. Weird.... I guess it is time to go buy a new one. (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 12

RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 12:21:10 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline I am in the same boat. I bought a really expensive and way ahead of its time computer about 7 years ago and it is now totally outdated. It doesn't like things like DSL and upgrades, and you need to be an engineer to keep it running. That's ok I am old Yankee and tend to wear things out before I get a new one. LC, comments like the one above are very few and far between in this forum. Most people are very sensitive to one anothers feelings, which is good. When someone does get out of line from time to time, there is somone else there to quickly calm the situation. We are all of kindred spirit here. Welcome. And, welcome to Bottle boy too. This too will pass. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to L C) Post #: 13

RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 1:08:04 PM    Gunsmoke47 Posts: 1160 Joined: 12/29/2003 From: TEXAS Status: offline Hey Guys, I have read this and once again I have slapped my hands when they strayed to the keyboard. I just can't keep slapping them. It hurts! I try to stay out of confrontation.  I believe the rude comment was directed at an 11 year old child. This alone is an act of an idiot. However , the said idiot may not realize that who he was responding to is a child . When people involve children it strikes a chord with me. I will get off my soapbox now, but Joel and LC, I do not believe the comment was directed at you. Bottleboy 4419, feel free to jump in here and correct me.  Kelley Baker po box 2042  Pampa Texas  79066 (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 15

RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 2:53:26 PM    L C   Posts: 1588 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hello Joel & Warren, as well as others. I am pretty toughed skinned, so the idiot comment did not really bother me, just didn't understand why it was made to begin with. And I do recall the Youngsters spelling was a bit rough, but he was a Child. Children do not deserve that kind of criticism at all.  As far as I am concerned, the whole deal is history.    When it comes to computers, I know very little about them when it comes to solving problems. Stick me out in a wood working shop with power tools, and I can fix most any problem.     A little bit about Me, I have collected vintage bottles for roughly thirty yaers. As stated, Wood working is a hobby of mine as well as having many other areas of interest. I collect Vintage Lunchboxes, Toys, Gas & Oil Memorabilia, Hunting & Fishing Memororabilia and just about anything old that catches my eye.  I also surface collect trilobites from the Ordivician Period. Take My advice, do not try and collect everything, too much stuff, and no where to display it.  I am sending some pictures of some of the bottles I have as well as a picture of a wood knife I made in my shop. The knife measures three feet seven and a half inches in length in the closed position, working wood springs, with inlayed walnut bolsters and logo. When I finished that project and showed it to the Misses, she looked at me and informed me that I had entirely too much time on my hands.........  Don't know what she meant by that....................

RE: gas station stuff - 3/24/2007 3:00:16 PM    L C   Posts: 1588 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline And this is the wood knife. The Motorcycle was given away by the Case knife company a couple of years ago. They were touring with the Bike, showing it at different area location at stores that dealt is selling Case knives. They were here locally, and having a picture taken with it was an option for a charge of five bucks. Thought it would be neat to have a picture of the knife with the motorcycle, so I took it with me and had one taken. I hope the Guy who is in the picture does not scare anyone........................
