You seem more like an "Andy" to me. Maybe it's because that's what I named my 3rd brother. My parents were hard to pursuade when I wanted to name him that, but they went along with it for me. I was just 6 years old at the time. I can get used to "Mark" I think.

Alright, now you did it. Just had to Mark up this thread. Some people will do anything to leave their Mark. If he comes back again, do we call him ReMark?

When I first joined this forum, I was "Barbara". Now, I'm just BE (my initials). Who I am hasn't changed. I only made that change cuz BE is so much easier to type, and BE is one of the names that I've been called all of my life.
Mark, thanks for letting us know you're whole name. And I don't care if your name is Mark, or Andy, or Mark Andrew, or MA, or George. I just wanna thank you again for bringing all of us together! This is a great place and I enjoy coming here,and you, Mark, are responsible for that!
Thanks again, BE (Barbara Elaine)

Hey who called me sexy- NO FAIR NO FAIR- It is wimpy Stefan Jan- yuck I hate the name- oh and my cheeks are turning red (Oh I hope my wife does not notice) Oh and whats up with the tinfoil? I mean I have always known Big Brother was watching- but does the foil really help ( you should see what it does to a metal detector). If it does help do I wear it shiny side in or out? ummm and that andy/mark guy- what if his real name is harold? Is he gonna come on here one day and say ohhh my name is harold- but you can call me harry- then what ? 6 pages of we miss andy? Help!- oh and I placed an order with the rock shed- They were soooo nice on the phone- order grit and Buble Gum Agate!

hey Stefan Jan (you sexy thing), i just got some of that bubblegum agate as well, haven't tumbled any of it yet, it's looking pretty gnarly, tho!
i cut into a few of the larger pieces with the saw and it appears to have promise. we'll see, eh?
i am still adjusting to this whole MarKAndY thing. he'd better NOT turn out to be Harold!
as far as the tin foil, that is an EXCELLENT question and will have to wait til Doc gives us his opinion on that one. is tin foil bi-directional? or does the matte side send and the shiny side receive? if one layer is good, would an additional layer be better?

THE TINFOIL ORIENTATION IS PARAMOUNT! If we are to beat Big Brother, or Mark, his secret agent, we have to have the shiney side inward. It reflects the microwaves better. The electricals hum, and spark, and that energized the chip dentists plant in our back teeth. I know that because my dentist left the back tooth with the most fillings on it to stabilize the lower denture. And by the way, I am glad, Andy/Mark/Phred/Mandy came out as a covert agent from the Matrix rather than came out as a Drag Queen or something really out there. We can deal with a little identity shifting, but transgenerization is out for this forum. When we first went through this revelation of sorts, before I read the thread, I was afraid he would come out and confess he was a Pathological Pedifilic Fecalfiliac! That would have really cut it! He is after all, a programmer. He cannot help that. He didn't know what he was getting into and at the time, it was thought that was the new field of manly creativity. He has given us a great deal, and even though he doesn't know who he is at the moment, we can reach out and give him back the serenity he offered to us. He needs us right now. Imagine for a moment what it must be like for him. Going into the office, looking at a screen, clicking letters and numbers and actually understanding it. When he goes for relief he has only to turn to metrosexuals, or ecofeminists, or activists, or other geek types so he has no real outlet. My wife thinks he should empty his pockets, put on some non-geek clothes, not shave for two days, brush his hair backwards, and go to the scariest biker bar he can find, with dancers, and sit up front. He should order some drinks. With no money, he will have to figuire out how to compensate for the drinks. He should then go up to the most tattooed, skanky lady and tell her, bikers are gay. I bet he will know who he is then. Seriously, I am really glad whats his name is writing. I do not care what he has to say. I just like the guy. I bet he is the world's best neighbor. And, anybody who can progam is doing something I cannot. I can teach him to facet in a day. He could get me to program in a year, maybe. There is something to that. I could teach him to solder rope chain in a week, set stones in a week. He would lose me after six weeks.

Hello Mark,
I know what you mean about people calling you other names ... I went to tonw today and I had a lady ?, yelling and screaming at me! Drool was dripping off of her lips and her left eye appeared to be missing ... but it was there!
I don't really know what happened.
It was funny as could be though ... she got closer to me and said "Oh, I am sorry ... wrong person".
Who knows?
John

Dude, we have become a secret society, trying to free the world from intellectual bondage! There is a conspiracy that is infiltrated to all segments of todays life. It happened in the '40's. Right after they came out with colored fims and Ronald Coleman was found out to speak with a mouse like a voice. After the crash in New Mexico of the colonizing forces, they conspired with a small group of farmers to live underground and perform experiments on humans using electricals and neuro transmitters. Once the beings transformed themselves from a worm like creature who burrowed into peoples ears and controlled their minds to looking like senitent human like creatures, they became teachers, and Drs. The left wing radicals were displaced musicians who should have been mathmatics professors turned to applying their technology to making electricals their slaves. Today, after the Drs., have burned out our freedoms by making designer antibacterial agents with side effects that make our children watch Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, The Galloping Gourmet, and Gunsmoke. Those children grew up and created Programmers who manipulate the Silicone Brained Anti-thistical Anti Christ to frustrate us. We become homogenized, write letters to cyberspace, learn to stare at Windows, turn off things by hitting Start, and in general, becoming so liberal we cease to exist! The wiring in our house is the communication device the electricals use to broadcast out thoughts to satellites that follow us around. The plumbing in our houses are how they communicate to each other, and dentists put chips in our jaws under their fillings to keep us from thinking our thoughts so we can fight back. This is much more than making stones shiney here! We are vigilantes. We are trying to make others understand the dangers we face every day! Soon the electricals are going to displace our nerves with radio control units and we are going to go to a Dr., and he is going to cut something out of us, put it in a red box marked HazMat and he will have our spirit! We must fight back! We have been fortunate. We have found a ringleader, and through our gentle manipulations we have made him confess. That is why our Administrator has confessed to a controversy! Andy/Mark/Mandy/Phred can no longer be an agent of the dark forces. He is trying to shed his implants and fight back. We must unite!

Thanks that clears up a lot- But is aluminum foil and tin foil the same thing- or is aluminum unsafe to use?
