Hello and welcome to TC!

Stay Safe Cap! Hope it passes quickly!

LOL I have been gone so long I miss the obvious inside jokes

Hot and Humid but at least the rain has stopped! It rained for 36 hours straight thanks to the typhoon. Thankfully the typhoon has weakened and the forecast today has been changed from torrential down pour to scattered thunderstorms.

Welcome! Jump right in and join the posts! We look forward to seeing your posts!

That's good to know!! Zolayes

hi and welcome, hopefully like me you'll arrive her to follow a player and stay because you begin to follow the team. look forward to your posts

I have wondered the same thing but from reading the boys posts I assume it means to play a defensive game and hope to score on set pieces (not worry so much about the offensive side of things) and to not attack as much. Am I right guys??

Congrats Manpe 'bout time

goodness what has happened while I was gone this summer?

hoping for a good result and better play on our behalf. and I am hoping to actually be able to see the darn game! so many of them end up being in the middle of the night for me.

Welcome to TC! I am also an American although I live in Asia. I am a member of CIA so I suspect we have bumped into each other there too. I grew up in mid-Michigan, so I am a fellow Michigander. Hope you like the board and stick around.

Welcome aboard I thought your post was very well written. I'm one of those American's that Ollie was poking fun at (I tolerate it because it's ollie!). Hope you enjoy the board and stick around!

Welcome to TC Hope you enjoy it!

I love mine. I had a piece of crap AT&T pay by the minute phone while in the US and I really contemplated smashing the thing several times. I should have just bought a sim card for my iPhone but I didn't want to pay the price for it.

Damn I missed you Relic Warnie! Glad to see you made the game!

It was a few days ago but it makes me smile every time I see the awesome tshirt that ChelseaChick sent me! Thanks Nicola!!

Happy Birthday Kez

Sorry, Cap I'll have to forfeit I have been traveling for the last month and just came home. I have a feeling my typing skills will be the pits after a 14 hour flight and a 12 hour time change!

Exhausted mentally and physically, had a great trip to the US but I am glad to be back to my own home. Now time to establish our routine and get rid of the jet lag before school starts at the end of the month! Hope everyone had a great summer

I only look at the key board once to make sure my hands are in the right position. Once I know they are then I can type freely without looking down again. I guess I should thank Mr. Ruiz for driving me crazy all those years ago! I hated typing class but since it was that or a home economics class (cooking and sewing!), I chose typing since I thought it would be the most helpful for college. I have gotten very lazy about typing now that I don't have to worry about correcting mistakes as soon as I make them! I do most of the time but the advent of spell check and grammar check have lessened the need to make sure a line is perfect before going to the next.

wow, I did not expect 25 pages of post about typing! LOL I type about 80 words a minute according to the test but in all fairness this is the first time I have sat down at a computer in a month! I have used my iPad but that doesn't count as real typing since it more like texting. I found the test to be hard for me because I don't usually type what I am reading on the computer screen. I can type from a hard copy sitting next to me with out looking at the screen with a fair amount of accuracy but it threw me off to look at the screen and type below it and not be able to see the whole "sentence". I also have to say I would have done better if it wasn't just gibberish. Actual sentences would have been easier because some of those words just didn't flow well together and it threw off the rhythm! I know... excuses, excuses but at least I didn't say I was old! How many of you type with out looking at the keys? How many have your hands in the "proper" positions? I am just curious because my husband and father both type with about 6 fingers and not their whole hands. My husband is very quick at typing but I have never understood how. I took typing in high school (no not keyboarding) back when there wasn't even a correction ribbon on the darn thing. The keys actually took effort to push and they covered the keys on us!

voted for Shane, because he doesn't ever offend me, LDN is great as well but occasionally steps over the line. JMHO

You're welcome!! I'm glad you like it! Thank you!

Just wanted to let you know i will be off the grid for a few months and I will see y'all in August when I am back from my summer travels. Have a save and enjoyable summer! Alex, Steve, Cara, Nicola, Zash and Jai, y'all know how to find me if you need me. Have a good summer all y'all!
