Besides, how do you get those quotes in those white rectangles?

Ya gotta hit the "quote" button in the upper right of a post, or use the "quote" button in the composing window, but then you will have to copy/paste to get the quote inside those [quote] brackets. Your best bet is to use the first way.

I thought this was about the light at the end of the tunnel

Don, when you hit that quote in the upper right corner, is that why some messages contain the complete message they are quoting from? No way to quote just part?
Thanx

Yeah, we do it all the time. Just quote the whole thing, then delete what you don't want.

So why's you all worried about quotes...??
We still gotta figure out the ladder/light conundrum...
I say use the top half....It's closer to the light....
Re: Sorry I just had to do this. - Lester Perry - 07-28-2013
Don't you need the bottom half to reach the top half?

Like I said, anyone that uses just the top half of a ladder will do it without any support.

Wait a minute, who said we need a latter. It might be a lantern on the ground. Oops this one is loaded
Re: Sorry I just had to do this. - yellowlynn - 07-29-2013
Nobody has ever said how high that light is. If you ar 5'8" tall, your shoulders should be at least 4'10" high. Stand on your shoulders and you should be able to reach another 6' or more. That makes 11' or more. Then comes the question, is it on the wall, where you can brace yourself? Or in the middle where you staggr around and trip over the tracks? You folks just aren't looking at this syantifficully. Another question, If the light is on, the bulb is hot and you can't touch it to unscrew it. I say"leave it alone and it will burn oud sooner or later on its own." If you want it lit, fix it and leave us alone!!

I used the low tech solution. I used a rock and put out the light. Or to paraphrase Lester's style, I threw myself into finding a solution.

What you guys are forgetting is that we want the light to by on
. They can turn theirs off, but ours, well, we need it to keep it on to stay the course. You can see what happens when they fool around with one. :cry:
