Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Good luck on passing the boards, I have the feeling you will pass easily. My brother-in-law got his RN a few years ago and absolutely loves his job. He works in a large hospital on the floor for people with spine and brain injuries. When I was in college studying for finals I would always take breaks to metal detect to clear my mind and let the information sink in. It is a great and relaxing hobby. Again, good luck on the certification, let us know when you can put the RN after your name...Ryan

Kirk, just wanted to tell you stay true to yourself, don't conform to any others ideal image of normalcy because they may feel threatend, left out, or just don't understand the nature of sarcastic humor. You're welcome to post any remarks on my posts that you see fit. I may not articulate my wording as well as you to jokingly respond but sarcasm is just one more service I can offer from time to time. HH

I just graduated from nursing school...I just need to pass my boards to become an RN. In reality, I have a kind heart and would never intend to "hurt" anyone. I just like to be totally blunt at times, which could rub off the wrong way.
Quote
Kirk having been a nurse since 1988 and an RN since 1991, I can tell you the most valuable tool I use every day at work. It is humor. If you don't have it you wont last long in the profession. You have a great sense of humor, it was just hard some times to know when the "just joking" was in fact because you were "just joking" or if was for other reasons. Sadly some people let their feelings get hurt way too easily, shouldn't be the way it is but that is the way it is.
I tried never to offend you, or impede you posts and I still extend my sincere offer that you can post to my posts anytime as long as you don't cross any lines the mods expect ALL of us to follow not just you.
I would offer you good luck wishes with Boards but I have no doubt that if you bring the same zeal and skill to Nursing that you have applied to your detecting you will have no problems passing the boards. The only advice I would give is don't sweat it, there isn't a question on the boards you haven't already answered so just kick it in the rear and get it done.
P.S. Welcome to the nursing profession, it is good to have another guy on the team.

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Kirk, I have read quite a few of your detecting adventure posts and though some of them were kind of offbeat( not bad in any way) they were very good...shows you do like the hobby and are very enthusiastic about it.
BUT, when you get into "tiffs" with other posters on whose machine does better or who can find the most colonials in a certain part of the country...that isn't "cool", even though you say you are joking...sometimes one post can trigger a small bit of anger in all of us and then some retaliation is left on the post we send. I bet all of us have "been there...done that" a few times.... I know I have.
You are man enough to tell us you have been overboard on some of your posts, and I commend you for that. In fact the "Wilver" word has grown on me.........well just a little bit
Keep on digging and posting those incredible coins and stories.

Kirkpa,
Please do not ignore my posts. I will be hurt if you pass over my post without a comment. I don't care what you say on my posts. I enjoy your humor and sarcasm. Its a shame some people don't get it. I think the ones that complain are desperate for praise. Maybe they were nerds in school a were bullied and on TN they can be the bullies. Stay true and watch for my posts this fall also. I have found some virgin civil war camps plus an old fair ground to hunt.

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Amen to that, brotha! Bud, I won't ignore you. I will respond on your wall, if you want me to.
I wish you luck at those sites. We have some promising sites for the fall. I just hope we can obtain permission for another one of Zoy's rasearch projects. I won't say what it is now, since we have some rivals from our immediate area on this forum, but we will be sure to post what we find at the site, if we can obtain permission from the farmer.

You have just as much right to post as they do.

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
I have never really seen it, too. Well, the problem that most of the older guys have with me is my "Dude" stuff. They must think that it is disrespectful. Oh well, their generation was totally different than mine. I, in no means, aim to make it sound disrespectful...it is just my style of language..."Dude, dude, dude!" hahaha
I don't think there are enough young dudes on this site that can relate with me. So, I will be shunned by the dudes who are "prop-proper-properster" and applauded by the dudes and dudettes who are "down to earth-down to earthie-down to earthster." LMAO!
I wish you luck, bud!

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Kirk,
Having ben your age once I think I can shed some light on that subject.
The older guys don't respect the kids too much because they already know that respect is earned, you are earning it and have earned much with this thread and your superb finds.
Your age expects the same respect that old Dudes give each other right off the top,
I know ... I remember. I thought I knew everything!
You will find that the older you get
It is surprising how much you forget between your age and mine.
Go,... find stuff !
LOL

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Since you started this Thread to get your Feelings
In the Open, I hope you can take this
"Dude" Never Bothered me.
For some unknown Reason "Wilver" Does.
Maybe Because it makes me wonder IF It's a Shot at someone
who Mispelled it here in the past & your not
letting them Get over it Maybe it's Just I don't like the Word
Don't take what I just said Wrong. Just My opinion.
it's Not Directions, or Threats.
I have deleted a few posts of yours where I feel it stepped over the Line.
I have also Deleted a Few of my own posts after reflection,
That I may have done so also.
Nobody is Perfect.
Most of the Complaints I have received about you
have been about "Inuendos" things I & most wouldn't pic up on
But others claimed were shots at them.
Whether they were or not, As a Moderator
I have to take action in these cases. Especially
when there were more then a Couple Complaints.
What I had Issues with were when you would Accuse Certain
Brand owners of B.S.'ing and or ignoreing certain exceptional finds
because of the Brand they used. Please Don't Deny this,
OR try to Excuse it. as these are the things that needed to stop
Joking or not Someone always takes it Seariously,
Then things Turn & it becomes Our (the Mods) Problem.
Other then That, I'm with everyone else here.

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Your age has never bothered me, old as I am your story was, and is entertaining. I hear "Dude" from alot of people and I don't have a problem with fist pumping(which I do after a GREAT find) or an attitude. Just didn't care for the "brand wars" which I think I'm a little guilty as well. I personally think the younger generation getting out and digging is a positive thing, and if "dude", fist pumping or arrogance is a problem I just look at the alternative, which is killing, robbing, and drugs. So I hope to see your posts, and see some great "OLD" coins come from those fields!!

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Hey Kirk, I dont think I ever responded to a post of yours. I havent read all of your posts but I've read a few. You obviously know how to detect. Your finds are proof of that. I like your posts. They sure are entertaining and the loot you find is top notch. The language that you use also helps me understand what my kids are saying! I think we all played the king of the hill game when we were younger. When you get a little older I think you will realize that there are more important things in life. I think you're a smart guy. You can help alot of people with your detecting know how. Maybe even learn a thing or 2 from the many talented people on here. Keep up the good finds KirkPA!! I look forward to reading your posts in the future. Steve

Yes there are others that might not bond to " the outside the box " image, and certainly that is ones ,true, pure right to disagree 
I really hope that you have not received any grief from others. You are a young man to be admired. Here you could be involved with much less admirable hobbies > but you choose to enjoy yourself with MD and making yourself each day more knowledgeable on your pursuits and interest. If we were all the same in dialect and personality , it would truly be a dull > nonproductive environment
Kirk stay true to who you are > provide your post with the enthusiasm and one of a kind comments that only you can do so well. I would be proud to have you as a son or friend Heck fire you guys have a one of a kind good time

Re: The Pondering of KirkPA's Soul
Kirk,
After reading your post I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry?
I'm going with laughter though, because I too enjoy humor. Being able to laugh keeps you young.
Being serious all the time is boring. Your posts really add spice to this site, so hopefully you reconsider on responding to others posts too. By the way, did you cash in your "coppas" to buy those big dollar words you used?
Stay the way you are, but lose that hat, pull up your Huggies, and PLEASE replace that d-mn avatar.
Take care,
MM
