Thank you cgregb.

OK, it's the one before THE BIG ONE!

Thread number 99.

Rules as before:


I have copied the rules from #98 and they are listed below:

The Last Person To Post Thread, general rules:
1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one.
2. Chooses a number to be the post declared the next winner and records it somehow. (yellow sticky, etc.)
3. Everyone has fun posting while the target number of posts is reached.
4. When the target is reached, rinse and repeat.

Supplemental rules:
1. Double posting (the same poster posting two or more posts in succession) is frowned upon.
2. Posting of larger pics is discouraged (Modem users do still exists[Gasp], and these threads can get quite long, Max of 1024x768 please.)
3. The rest of the post rules listed to the left of your post box are all enforced.

Last but not least:



Clue for the winning number: Less than D, more than CD!

Evening Skildude.

They don't use one before century for 99 (IC), strange isn't it. So I used 10 Before 100, 90 (XC) 1 before 10 (IX) 9 which I believe is the correct way to show it?

Congratz Andy on Your win and nice Kitty there, Cleaning house has kept Me rather busy, in between bouts of pain, The countertops in the Kitchen are so clean that their smooth to the touch as they should be.

Today in the mail the SSA(Social Security Administration) notified Me of the $5 drop in My future checks as invoked by the Govenator of Failifornia: Conan the Barbarian(to the Governator: ;p), Now I get $845 a month, CA can't go much farther without running into Federal Law of course as $830 a month would be the bottom, But I've been expecting this republican cheapskate injustice for months now. I'm expecting a further $15.00 drop per month in 2010 when the legislature decides they need more cuts, After that My check can only go one direction: up.

He's a lame duck, So He's not running anymore and He ain't too popular in CA anymore, Arizona can have Him if they want. I'm registered as an Independent, I vote for Who I like, Not for who or what a Party likes.

Understood Andy, But then I know what those letters mean, As I looked them up, I'd had a clock with Roman numerals on Its face when I'd grew up, It's long gone of course.

So that was not in Spanish?

Sorry I live in the southwest and everyone speaks Spanish. Now you dial 1 for English; or actually American.

The UK and the US; two countries separated by a common language, si(C)?
