RE: Tornado & Other Storm Stories

April 3, 1974. A Tornado ripped through Mason Ohio, Killing at least one person. I remember seeing that tornado. All in all 148 tornados from April 3 to April 4.

April 9, 1999. An F-3, localized F-4 tornado ripped through Montgomery, Blueash and Loveland (Where I was living at the time) here in Ohio. The tornado did a great amount of damage, killing a few people. It missed my house in Loveland by a quarter of a mile.

RE: Tell me somewhere interesting you've been OUTSIDE the USA or CANADA

Only place I have been outside the continental U.S. is Guam. My son is an Airforce Brat.

RE: North Korea

If memory serves me correctly, there was never a real end to the Korean Conflict. There had only been a cease fire,and that cease fire ended back some time ago which means, theoretically, we are still at war with them. Am I correct on this?

RE: If you could move anywhere...

I would have to say oklahoma, being a severe weather buff. Outside of the U.S. I would have to say Guam.

RE: How did you pick your name or tag line?

Mine comes from the name of the 750LB bombs I sandblasted back in the 80s.

RE: prom crashin

One thing about us weldors, even us hobby weldors...We use hotter rods and get deeper penetration

RE: Tell us more about you...

Strength: Good work ethic

Weakness: Not knowing when to walk away from solving a problem

RE: prom crashin

That would be sweet. 2 engine driven welders (Miller 225NT Bobcat, Lincoln power arc 4000) 2 buzz boxs (Miller AC Thunderbolt, Lincoln 225 AC,DC) and one cheap campbell hossfeld mig welder.
Its a shame that I went into electronics. I always wanted to get my certs in structural and pipe. Started out at Hobarts up in Troy, but that school sucked (just my oppinion), Then off to MWI for two months.

RE: prom crashin

Hailing from Springfield hey? I was out in Nevada back in December of 02 till February of 03. I went to the Missouri Welding Institute. The first day I started school there (on a Monday) we got like 8 inches of snow and 2 weeks later, a tornado touched down 5 miles south of the school.
Odd weather out there in December lol

RE: what is your favorite place to go camping?

Ceasers Creek State Park here in Ohio. Ahhhhhh the memories of camping there

RE: Do you ever get to the point that:

"How to become more successful"...I am still trying to figure that one out myself. I sometimes ask myself "Is it really worth it, going to a matchmaking service or dating site?"
You have to make a profile, list this, list that. In all reality, it is no different than making a resume`. Its almost like you have to sell yourself (actually, it is selling yourself). The upside is, you make a lot of friends. I am almost to the point of giving up and calling it quits. I met one Lady on here and we had a real good time, for the time we were together. Out of all the Ladies I have dated, (and that is a large number), all have come short in comparison to her. Its like, after being with her, I will never find another Lady as good as her. If I do, I will be one lucky son of a gun.
My advice to you is, if I can find someone as good as the last one, you will find your special someone.
My 2 cents.

RE: MEN... This one is for you

Would I date an older woman? Sure, why not!

RE: Ohio State Rocks!

But then again, I only watched the first part of the game lol

RE: Ohio State Rocks!

You have to admit, Texas did put up a good fight. In the end, the best team won

RE: Are some to remain alone?

If I may fuel inject, without communication there really is nothing. Without communication, couples only touch "in the hallway"
Just my 2 cents worth.

RE: how lonely is lonely

You are very lucky to have had a love like that. My dad died back in 2000. In February of 2000, mom and dad had just moved into a house they had built. Four months later, he was gone. He had just retired in January of that year.
My mom feels like you. No one could ever take his place. They were married for almost 45 years. It takes a longer than a year (I would think) to get over something like that.
Just my thoughts

RE: what a wife needs

Lol Sweet!

RE: Menage a trois.....Would you consider it...yes or no??

No. I want one woman and one woman only.

RE: Going to War

His fears are real. Ambushs and roadside bombings occur everyday over there. He may have other fears as well. Being taken hostage may be one of them. Kieth Mappun, came from a town about 15 miles from here, was taken hostage and hasn't been heard from since.
You may want to point out that even though these things happen, it doesn't mean that they will happen to him. I was told horror stories about bombs, while being worked on, blew up and killing people but it never happened to me. I didn't fear bombs and missiles while working on them, but I had a healthy respect for them.
Yes, his fears are real. Again, he needs to talk to his commanding officer about them.

RE: Going to War

You are most welcome

RE: Going to War

I agree with you, TheProfessor. He needs an eval. This very well may save his life. If he goes into battle, and breaks, not only could it cost him his life, but perhaps the lives of others. Most commanding officers (knowing of such a condition) will not make them go into combat. Please tell your friend to talk to his commanding officer.

RE: I feel old.....

I know the feeling. I graduated from a junior college last year at the age of 42. The school was chalked full of young'ns. Lot of the instructors I had were younger than me. I have to admit, getting that degree did pay off

RE: Pirate Radio Stations

6.995 MHz seems to be a hot spot for pirate broadcasters. Most of the transmissions are done in upper side band. The magazine "Popular communications" has a feature called the "Pirates Den" devoted to pirate radio.
When I was in highschool, our electronics class from the vocational school took a tour of the VOA Bethany Relay station back in 1979. The modulation transformer used for one of the transmitters took up a whole room. You could hear the broadcast comming out of it. It was sweet to say the least.

RE: Met a very pushy CS member

I met a nice Lady from this site, Monday evening of this week. I am very happy that we met and she feels the same way. We are going camping this weekend

RE: Occupation

I am an electronics technician with a bit of electrical engineering mixed in.

RE: 101 Ways to Win a Woman's Heart!

I have been there with the poetry. Doesn't work half the time.

RE: This question is for the guys. Why do you think your next relationship, will last a life time?

I am not sure if my next relationship will last a life time. I hope it does. That would be great. It depends on if their is any lying or cheating. If she lies or cheats, its over. I wont lie or cheat. My conscience wont let me. I have been with a liar and a cheater and the marriages went down hill real quick. Hence the reason I am at this site, to find a love that wont cheat or lie.
