No doubt you are a highly creative fiction author.

With regard to rain jackets, you can get ones that pack up to about the soda can. If you type something like "pack away rain jacket" into google you should find something you can use.

After reading several of your posts, I guess spell check works wonders.

If you have firefox browser there is a add-on called "NoSquint". Allows you to change background colour, text colour, text size. And more. Very useful.

That's a great list. I had never thought of half of those potential uses. Thanks!

Hearty agreement on every thing except #19 - snowballs are much more effective.

Hope this wipes the slate clean.

Jackie, you left off the list the one you came up with in reply to one of my posts: a coffee filter for making coffee (with grounds) in hot/boiling water. smile For those who enjoy loose tea, it should work the same. I always enjoy a good cuppa!

No, you have not hurt my feelings. I'm just attempting to correct your misinformation so others won't be led astray.

You may actually be a dog on the internet, and there is no way of knowing. We only know your words, and given the nature of this forum, your words here are your action. Screaming about how you are a "published author" (a dime a dozen) and how "experienced" you are means nothing if you keep saying uninformed stuff and act in a way that does not earn anyone's respect.

I'm sorry about your eye problem. Perhaps that explains your misspellings, your failure to adhere to established orthography and rules of punctuation, your inability to make paragraph breaks, and possibly even the absence of coherent, unified paragraphs. (I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt with some grammatical problems such as "with whom I'm sure I have had more dealings with." The relative clause has one too many preposition. Typically that indicates a discomfort with formal, written language -- rather odd for a widely published author.) I genuinely have trouble reading your posts. But your eye problem does not excuse your condescension, the groundless assumption you make about others, and your hostility towards law enforcement.

If you are indeed some sort of emergency preparation genius, I do pray that you will share your knowledge with us -- in a rational discourse that will persuade us that you are in the right.

I have trained for decades in combative arts and firearms with police officers, and I'm friends with some of them. Some of them even worked in NYC. After getting to know them, I grew to respect all of them. One of them is among the very finest people I know, and I have a high standard. I'm sorry that not everyone has the same experience.

Brain fart! LOL! That might be my favorite one, bows, tied with hairband/head covering. Oh yeah - and flag for capture the flag!
