Def,

Lay off Roy. He writes to get the ideas out there. I have never had a problem figuring out what he meant. If it irritates you, then I would suggest that you don't read his posts. That would solve the problem. If I wanted people adept at spelling, it would have been in the rules, it isn't.

and Mike,

I have to say you have the tone of a principal or professor just letting us know what is in store for the next semester. I should remind you that these are discussion forums, not lecture platforms. And as was mentioned in an earlier post, most of what you start is doctrinal not about the way. Please start them in the correct forums.

The most asked question is this.

What time is Midnight Mass?

I worked at the Catholic church when I was younger. Do you know what the number one question the church would get on Christmas Eve?

Merry Christmas to all.

I am very thankful for each and every one of you. Some of you make me laugh when I most need it. Some of you make my blood pressure rise, a good check of the valves. I get to help some and I get quite a bit of help from you. Some of you give me challenges that keep my on my toes. It is a real pleasure to make this site available to each of you.

In the near future, there will be some exciting new changes and improvements to make the GreaseSpot experience that much better.

I wish all of you and your families the very merriest of days. No matter what your belief system is currently, Christ's birth brought us together directly or indirectly. So celebrate!!

And PLEASE someone eat some of this fruitcake!!

But I don't like Jay.

I'm a Letterman Fan....

Growing up I looked like Jerry Mathers

Rocky,

Of all the people I don't look like, Jay Leno is one.

Shell,

The premiere of The Weenie Roast video was held last night.

I heard laughing where I expected it and pensive comments in most places that I expected.

I do have some polishing to do yet, but preview copies will be sent out soon.

I will check that out.

PT's can't be deleted by the user.

I delete them when they are inactive for over 90 days. Although I actually only go in and do that a couple of times a year.

Yes very good question.

JT,

Everything from Waydale is on the document section of this site.

Well...

I guess I will have to go out and get it then. I haven't heard much about the latest DVD. I have the extended of the first one and enjoyed it. My niece hasn't given me her report yet, letting school interfere with the important things.

I gotta watch both of them in anticipation for the last one, which is only days away.

Ditto to all that has been said.

Front Page is the way to go, if you need a short learning curve.

Dreamweaver is very powerful, but you need to set aside some time to get up and running.

And most recent DVD players have the ability to read CD's burned in the "Data" format that contain MP3 files.

Depending on how your MP3 files were burned, you can fit about 10 albums on 1 CD. Great if you want background music and don't want to be changing the music every 40 minutes or so.

I use Camino, which is the Mac version of it.

I seem to have problems with java on some sites.

But overall, it is better than IE.

The popup blocker is worth the price of admission. And the tabbed feature lets you have multiple sites open in one window, in fact you can save a series of sites as a bookmark so if you have 5 or 6 sites you always go to then you can open them all at once.

if you look on ebay, you can find norton antivirus for about $15.00.

Some local computer repair shops will sell you a copy for about $20.00 These are copies that they use for new computers commonly called, OEM version.

I was in class at St Mary's in Pawtucket. The principal came over the loudspeaker and said that the president had been shot. She then hooked a radio to the intercom so that we could hear the news as it was happening.

She got back on the loudspeaker a few minutes later and called me to the office. I was stunned. What did I have to do with the president's shooting? We didn't have too many details, where he was shot, or things like that. Was he in the area? Did someone in my family have something to do with it? So much for a young mind to figure out (paranoia hits so young)

I went down to the office expecting police or some authorities (I loved Dragnet) When I entered the principal's office, there standing in the middle of the room was my kid sister. She was crying. I hated when she did that and now it looked like I was being called in to help.

The principal looked sternly at me and said, "your mother is in the hospital and your cousin is at your house with your other brother and sister. You need to get home with your sister and try to help out with your family."

I wasn't hearing anything that she was saying. My sister was making that noise when they stop crying but are trying to gain composure. When was the bombshell of what my family had to do with the shooting of the president going to come to light?

I held my sister by the arm until we got out of sight of the principal and the school. Then I made her walk 10 paces in front of me so that it didn't look like she was with me. (Ah the young mind and definitions of cool)

I got home and was riveted to the news. He had died sometime on the walk home. My cousin made dinner and later that night my father came home.

"You should have a new baby brother in the next few hours" he said. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday my brother celebrated his 40th birthday.

Do you have my Smoke Signal addy?

jpeg (aka jpg) files and gif files are among the most popular on the internet. Their formats allow for a quality pic with some type of compression for size.

Tiff files are UNcompressed. Many digital cameras have a setting allowing you to take pics in a "raw" or uncompressed format, giving you the highest possible quality.

Most websites recognize jpeg and gif. Tiff can be uploaded but more than likely not readable. (they are usually very large files)

Most photo editing programs will open Tiff and convert it for you. Most smoke signal programs won't.

The blue and yellow ones

are now added to the menu when you reply to a post

I'm sending Santa the pics... ;)-->

Man o Man....

I'm going to have to order more t-shirts....

I'd be up for discussion of banding together and renting a server. Each of us could have our own space and move all the domains over to it.

Somone emailed me last night about a similar thing.

We would have to limit the size of the pics or they could become a real bandwidth and space hogs.

I think Steve put up a method of posting pics in the pics thread.

I'll see what I can put together this evening and come up with a more definitive answer.

I saw it today also.

I never looked at it as a trilogy. I always felt that the first one stood on it's own and that Reloaded and Revolutions were the first and second half of a follow-up (I am sure I have lost everyone by now)

Reloaded was heavy on philosophy. The fight scenes were about twice as long as they should have been. Not a very good follow-up to the original.

Revolutions is not a very good part two to Reloaded. It did have better fight/battle scenes, more engaging. It lacked an original plot, I feel. I was enjoying the first hour or so, but the end didn't wrap it up in a meaningful way.

I think that they took the GREAT fight scenes from the original movie and left behind the plot.

Actually the file is an mpeg file.

Your cousin may have his associations set for RealPlayer to play the mpeg files. He can change it to be played in the windows media player.
