TSP Jail

for all you fence sitters that may not be sure if you want any part of this club, we are offering a temporary limited time trial membership.

check it out, try it on, walk around in it for a few days, suitable for avatar use, show your colors.

regular membership is free, as long as you got the cajones.

well it's been tough, and getting tougher. i've been on a self imposed quarantine (outside of the TSP Jail thread) for a few days nows, but it's getting juicy out there.

i'm in a holding pattern on my tsp allocation, expecting some big moves this month, i hope i can catch one of the lows and push more chips in.

every time i think i have something i want to say, i type it in, then spellcheck it, then re-read it for clarity, then i take quick 5 minute break. when i come back i highlight it all in blue and hit the delete button, ya'll don't know what you been missing.

surprising how good that feels, it's very liberating.

and i'm a conservating.
 
Please make mine Brown like Sponge Bob's!!
Oh! Who issues the GOOTSPJF cards, the Warden and Officers?

sorry the card stock only comes in orange and yellow, it's tight this fiscal year on a quarterly temproray budget chopped 25% by prudent AO's, you know the drill, but brown text is doable, until we run out of toner, apparently most of the funding is headed to health care or afganistan.

i think it goes without saying, the Warden and Officers can issue anything they want, including kudos, edicts, warnings, bans, and GOOTSPJF cards, although the cards are mainly for self-moderation, a reminder that we all could use a favor (and a laugh) from time to time.

i've just been doing the work on a volunteer basis, heck it needed doing and i was there, but i must say i've been way overpaid.

As with all gubmint work, the files are not mine, i'm only the steward, they are current, well-organized, secure, and available to co-workers and superiors as necessary, i'm just proud to serve.
 
OK, i hope i'm understanding this correctly, the lady has a new id photo,

lets's see, there's five of them, so does that make each one a two? no wonder they wear the hijab.

NO, NO NO !!!! THAT WASN'T THE INTENTION - it was a remark in response to your comment about needing i d's for others...........
I should have said females/women/ anything BUT Lady !!!!

I liked my `lady' and I am so sorry about the confusion !!!
I get my glasses fixed tomorrow, maybe that will help !!!

Is it going to be a lot of trouble to swirtch back? I know you have worked on this endlessly !
Please forgive me for the mess! Please

note: grandma is the only one with carte blanche on the photo thing, others may make a reasonable request, but no gaurantees.
 
I am still a little confused about the requirements for membership, and not sure of my motivation, but based on some of my past, current and likely future posts, I submit myself for your approval.

My first attempt at an avatar needs some work.

Open door policy here, come on in, you get lucky #0911.

Your picture should be fine, don't attempt me to work on your avatar.
 
and you're in PessOptimist,

these cards don't really get you out of jail. but if you carry it with you, and everytime you feel like making a inappropriate comment take it out and consider what's really important, then it could help keep you out of jail in the first place.
 
well steadygain, mcduck, FAB1, and myself are the only ones lacking id pictures.

still waiting for steady to confirm acceptance of honorary membership and submit photo.

FAB1 is in but needs a picture, c'mon it doesn't have to be fancy, i don't think you want me to pick one out for you, look what happened to grandma and phil.

for mcduck i was going to use the jailbird one somebody posted in another thread, but as he is currently banned i thought it would only be fair to give him a chance to have some say in the matter, i think he had another duck one before things went all quacky here.

as for me, i got your six, i'll be last through the door, now move soldiers. actually i'm a little shy, i've never used an avatar myself before so i don't know what to pick.

any suggestions?

After careful consideration i respectfully decline to edit.

It is simply a placeholder. Phil is welcome to submit any jail card picture he identifies with. Official card will be issued to his specs, or he can renounce membership and it will go away. He and I don't see eye to eye on some issues but i don't think either one of us cares to shut the other up.

If you can't say what you feel in here, where can you say it?

Thank you for the friendly and informal warning, I'll take my chances.

That one (#71) did go too far. The whole jail card thing is fun, but using that picture for someone else's card was not cool. Now if it was your own card, I'd let it go. ;)

I'm sure I'll wake up on Monday and everyone's avatar will be of that pic. :)

Grandma, you really make me smile! I have had several people ask me in PM's if you and I are the same person. I'm honored when they ask. ;)

And now you're doing a great job helping to moderate. :) You're a real gingerbread gem! :nuts:

Lady

Thank you for your fair and polite handling of that innapropriate post, TSP Talk.

And thank you grandma for the warning, i should have listened.

I apologize to those that may have been offended.

Phil, I'm sorry, for making a funny at your expense. I know you have a thick skin, but that was not called for.

Burrocrat.
