    A lot of people in the community have been expressing concern about the reduced size of their hubscore recently.  Or alternatively, they have been boasting about how big it is.  I just wanted to say that there is nothing wrong with having a mediocre rating - in fact, I think those of us with non-exceptional scores should celebrate of our lack of extraordinariness and be proud!  wink

        Wait a minute - I resemble that remark!  I think it's also healthy to bring forward concerns through appropriate channels!   And yes, it's healthy to be justifiably proud of accomplishments.

      I was in the eighties a couple of weeks ago. Obviously an oversight. And almost blotted from my consciousness, then and now.

      Remember, 'M' is not for mediocrity.

      I have seen the testing scores on the state tests, and compared to them 80% is downright genius!

    Hey, Simone:  Your Hubber score is slipping.  Did you do something bad - besides resign, I mean?

    It's not the size of the score...

          Thanks for that. I didn't realize Beyonce was a singer. I thought it was something you pushed sharply into the Bosch before twisting and lifting.

          I'm probably a little older than you.

            I guess so cause I would have to google at least half of that sentence before I could respond appropriately.

              Are you sure you should be up this late?

        That is Austro-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire! They don't work cheap. The Ottomans wanted Egypt for starters.

          Well... probably, but you'll have to bring it to my workplace. Ill be there till 9 pm my time. Subtract 6 hours if you need to know what time that is. Let me know if you'll need a calculater. wink

            I was going to ask:

            Who on earth starts work at 9 pm?

            But midnight is here and that is that...

                And night shift workers in hospitals.

                Dear God, I worked 9pm -8am for years, and never suspected I might be a zombie. Could I be?
                Not a vampire, but I do have one particularly large incisor on my lower jaw.

                Yes, you did.  I wasn't sure about the 6 hours reference though.  Will is a Brit, but he resides in Thailand, as far I'm aware - I think they might be ahead in time, not behind the USA?  smile

    That wasn't me yesterday. That was a couple of glasses of Hong Tong. You were lucky I didn't start speaking in tongues.

      It's ok, I have a terrible memory so I never remember anything, and a short attention span so I never read back. You could say just about anything to me and it probably wouldn't matter much 24 hours later.   What's hong tong?

        I think they brew up the slops from the distillery and throw in a few handfuls of regret.

          I did wonder if you were on something, when you appeared to confuse an old slang name for the Germans (Boche) with a popular washing machine brand (Bosch)!  wink

            Will Apseposted 10 years agoin reply to this

            In my defense:

            Boche
            Pronounced [boʃ], boche is a term used in World War I, often collectively ("the Boche" meaning "the Germans"). A shortened form of the French slang portmanteau alboche, itself derived from Allemand ("German") and caboche ("head" or "cabbage"). Also spelled "Bosch" or "Bosche"
