Profile bio too short!

[Henro]

Well, after FINALLY getting around to trying to fill my profile in again after being erased back then... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I REALLY tried to shorten the bio:

4 years US Coast Guard (1 year S.E. Asis). World traveler for 1.5 yrs after discharge. Motorcycled Spain to Thailand . Met wife on trans-Siberian RR in '70. Married in Japan in '72 after we travelled a bit. Grad Sophia U. in Tokyo. Live in self-designed/built home. Two girls, one married, younger is 29.

I give up! Why is this too long? I think this bio in the profile is about useless if five lines is too long!

What am I doing wrong? Where is the instant face for 'Frustrated???"

There doesn't seem to be a bunch of empty lines below my text...

I guess I could write:

Hi, my name is Bill. I was born in Pgh. I live in Pgh now. I think I will die in Pgh. Pgh is a good place. My wife likes Pgh too. TBN is as good as Pgh. Life is good...space for bio is too small. I don't like that too much! I love my wife and tractors...

Gee...I just tried it and that doesn't work either!

Makes me want to say "Water held back by an earth embankment!" No, dike is not the word I am thinking of at the moment...Come to think of it I feel more like saying " I see a dog stopped by the curb there!"

Well, I cut it to:

"Hi, my name is Bill. I was born in Pgh. I live in Pgh now. I think I will die in Pgh. Pgh is a good place. My wife likes Pgh too. TBN is as good as Pgh. Life is good...space for bio is too small."

And that worked...guess I will leave it at that. Sure wish the bio could take more than three lines and a word though... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Those are bio-box lines, by the way.

PS...I know the limit is stated as 250 characters. Perhaps someone could explain this limit. I don't think this is enough space to be meaningful or useful. Perhaps that is just me and I can live with that. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've never filled in my profile, but that's because I figured my life is too boring for anyone to read about--

"I work all afternoon and evening, I get home, and since I can't get to sleep right away I get on TBN until I get tired, because I don't like to watch TV. My wife works all day and I never see her because she gets home right after I leave for work. It's too cold and snowy outside to do any kind of work, but it clearly needs done. I have the same amount of acreage as Henro, but have one more tractor than he has!!!"

Nope, that doesn't fit! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Henro:

nag, nag, nag

"Hi, my name is Whiskey. I was born in Mn. I live in Fl. now. I think I will die in Fl. Fl is a good place. My wife likes Fl. too. TBN is as good as Fl. Life is good...space for bio is too small

lol /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Look at it this way Henro...I know where you were born, where you live, and where your going to die and that your wife likes where live you too and also that TBN and where you live have been good to you.

was there something else you wanted to tell me???? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

like maybe why you drink beer with two hands or what kind of beer it is or how come you have a really cool barn/garage that I had to watch you add on to and no matter how many times I show my wife the pic's I still can't have one or the fact that when I say "ya but hun...Henro has one" she tells me to sit down and shut up!!!

you do know this was all in good fun right? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You know, everything that he can't fit in his bio, he could try to put in his picture! He needs a new picture with the tractors, the building, and the wife... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif They say a picture says a thousand words... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gary,

That's FUNNY!

I thought the black was me and the <font color="red"> red was YOU!</font> I had met some people biking (that is bicycling) the same route I was riding the ol' BMW along...

Was thinking this guy is good...Bicycled from Europe to Asia, then he Graduated the University of Tokyo [Japanese Harvard]. AND he even has a baby now! And he is only 29 years old!

Amazing how similar our paths have been...wait a minute...Gary just shortened my long bio...and I no longer recognized myself! Oh, well...I guess not knowing what PC referred to threw me... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Wish I was still 29 years old though... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

You guys are too much! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think I may just shorten my bio to Life is good...

And then complain about how there is so much wasted space in the bio section of the profile... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bill:

Your Bio should just say: "Retired and enjoying it"

Mine should say: "Retiring soon and looking forward to enjoying it"
