Why did the cat fall off the roof?

Because it lost its 'mu'.

Just trying to 'stirrup' a little controversy.....

Here's the Jersey version. An acquaintance is someone who will help you move. A friend is someone who will help you move a dead body.

I got the same message, Ron. When I asked how 'you' were, 'you' said, "Not good at the moment". I replied, "You must be, if you're looking to ME for comfort". First of all, it took 'you'forever to type ANYTHING. I mean, I know you're not the slowest typer, but you're not the fastest either. Kind of half fast.

I was walking downtown the other day and there was a dollar store advertising a free abacus with every purchase. I wouldn't count on it, though.

Thank you all.

No, but I can get my butt kicked in six different languages. :)

Happy Birthday, Shell. I'm getting into making bread these days, and there's a loaf with your name on it here. :) You never had such a bread, the crust is OUT of this world.

Country isn't my favorite type of music, but I'll make an exception for this one.

My best on also comes from our own chatroom. I would pay good money for a transcript of the proceedings.

One night, someone who was/is rather homophobic came into the room. As soon as I realized this, my warped sense of humor kicked in. Instantly, I became the token gay person. I began by doing all the stereotypical things a gay person would. I messed with him/her for a good three hours (yes, I had no life at the time). Rearranging furniture, suggesting window treatments, etc.

At the three hour mark, someone else in the room suggested to the homophobe that maybe, just maybe, I wasn't really gay, and that perhaps I was just messing with them. At which point they said, "BUT WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD DO SO A THING!??!??!?!?!!?!?" I replied, sort of nonchalantly, "An extremely effed up one?" That made the rest of my weekend worthwhile. Sad to say, but true.

Kimberly, the relevant part is from 5:00 to 8:37. Please don't watch the rest unless you have a strong tolerance for adult language or content.

The relevant part is at about five minutes in, but, enjoy. (there isn't ONE swear word in this, so, no disclaimer )

My son bought a Dell Dimension 4700 a few years ago.

About a month after he got it the fan started making an ungodly racket but didn't seem to be overheating.

Technician came right to the house and fixed it, no charge.

About a year later, he got a laptop and gave me the Dimension.

A week later it did the same thing.

I bought a replacement fan on-line for 4 or 5 dollars, put it in and the problem was solved.

Fast forward another 10 or 11 months.

The same thing happens again so, after listening to it for 2 or 3 weeks, I bought another fan.

The very day it arrived, the fan stopped making noise though it was running.

That was 3 weeks ago and still no noise or overheating. Almost like it healed itself.

Any thoughts?

Sometimes in life, you get to say thank you and walk away.

The problem I had when posting youtube was for some strange reason, the embed code had to be centered. Hope this helps.

Youse people are in TROUBLE NOW.

Thought this might be appropriate (well, Mr. Black does use what some would call inappropriate language and subject material. However, I feel it IS appropriate for the situation we find ourselves in).Enjoy

I have FINALLY figured out my embedding problem. My other problems can now come off the back burner.

One little detail I was missing was, the embedding code HAS to be centered in the posting window (at least, on my account).

For others who have had trouble embedding, this may be the solution for you. YMMV

It is like I am trying to tell them that George W Bush is an alien who built the piramids and now is trying to destroy all of human kind through mind control. They just cannot possibly wrap their minds around it.

You mean, he's NOT?!?!?!?!

Oh yeah, and he's been married six times.

:blink:

According to Jimmy Pardo, if marriages were sandwiches, his next one will be FREE.

Yes, Raf, I have a video editing program on my computer, but I'm not going to help YOU. :)

Seriously though, go to My Computer (on yours, not mine) then program files, then Movie Maker. It is a good basic program.

As to the length of the videos you can up load, you have to list yourself as a director on youtube. You do this by going to My Account, then, edit channel info, then change channel type to Director.

Also you have to download the uploader. Here is where you can get to it.

They're still wearing the same unhip clothes

Now, now, NowIsee, the only reason they're wearing the same unhip clothes is because all their discretionary income goes to HQ.

For some reason, he thought he would be 'insulated' from the media...........

As you know, Sushi, I love the program. Believe in it, apply it and have pretty great kids.

My feelings, though, are that it's not applicable to me as an opposite to TWI. It's applicable, period, 'cuz it works.

If a parent needs a specific instructional program to guide, to understand the parent/child dynamics, to gain the skills to not be bald or institutionalized by the time the little precious is moving out, this is a great one.

Especially in these difficult times in our schools, our economy, with all the access kids have to rotten stuff.

Any parent, any child, it gives simple, practical instruction. Once each realizes that it's going to be this way (or that way) and it aint going to change, and the parent (you know who I'm talking about, the one that is the adult) carries it out every every every time, life is pretty terrific for the entire family.

I work in a High School and at the end of most days, I am sorry this, or at least SOMEthing, isn't a requirement to even having babies.

Oh yeah, forgot to add that my eldest is 26, has her own family and lives hours away,and nothing has changed as far as my standard of parenting her or my approach to our relationship. She still doesn't like it, but frankly my dear, I don't care.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I've always found it curious, you need to pass a test to operate a car, but you don't need at least a learning permit to be a parent.

Well, maybe we should wait for a certain guest to arrive?

Yeah, I'll just go sit in the back of the bus

I won't even get on the bus.
