Reply to Is Chivalry dead? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I think you bring up some interesting points here. It's pet peeve of mine when I hold a door open for someone and they breeze through like it's my job to hold the door for them. Doesn't anyone know they are supposed to take the door from you? And as for a pregnant woman not getting a seat on a bus or subway...don't get me started. However, I don't think it's only men that should be making those sacrifices. I'm glad to hear that women gave up their seats for you when you needed it (at

Often programs or items you download from the Internet will automatically go to your "My Downloads" folder. Check there first. If it's not there then I don't actually knwo where it went. When you go to download it you should have the option of saying where you want to save it. If you can't find it, it's ok to download it again and this time make sure you save it in a place you will remember. Let us know how it's going! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="

I thought I remembered seeing you over there on day one. I know what you mean about the time. I missed one class already because I work and I teach in the evenings. Sometimes it just gets away from me. I saw on the hobbies post that you are 3rd year medical school and have 2 children and one mroe on the way? Frankly, I do't know how you find time to skin at all. I am in awe. Good on you!

clwoods: let me know how it goes and relay all the information you have. Maybe I can help narrow down the problem. It's worth a shot anyway! enjoybuca: thanks foryour kind words! I am also in awe of the people who make icons. I don't have that talent. No problem about the English - I understood you!

Reply to More thoughts on evolution and warning stickers in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

William Herbert Carruth (1859-1924) actually wrote a poem about this very topic; Each in his own Tongue . The debate today has evolved (no pun) into whether or not we need stickers on our textbooks telling our children about this debate. Couldn't the state or county or whatever have simply bought books that pointed out that evoluti

Sleeping Dragon: I've enjoyed reading this post very much, thanks for coming up with the topic. I really have no life but I do enjoy reading and writing (but not 'rythmetic) and spending time with my husband and 2 dogs. I hope more people post their hobbies!

Congratulations! You've tried far more than I ever have. Maybe someday I will attempt to make something. I'm even taking the SkinStudio classes over at Skinartistry , but I think I'm a lost cause. Keep us posted on your work. And who cares if you are slow? If you like it, then you'll practice and you'll get faster. Keep it up! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smile

I can't wait to see it sometime! I know what you mean about the paint colors - I bought some lovely light brown to paint the trim in our upstairs once. Turn out pink. Had to buy more paint.

I saw that picture of the X-ray and I know things like this happen, but I have never figured out how it is that people don't realize they've shot themselves in the first place. Wouldn't you know it if something like that had happened? Wouldn't you feel a little pinch and there would be some bleeding, if nothing else? ; No comment on the George Bush thing. What is there to say? Just shake my head and carry on I guess. <img

Looks like "Personal Computing" is one of those categories that gets posted over on WinCustomize as well as JoeUser. You had the right category, Danny - it just attracted a different audience than you were expecting.

RightClick Basics (Newbies 10) in Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

I'm a right clickist. I'm addicted to the right click. Ah, the power of the "right click" function in the Windows user interface. It makes me happy in a way that only "Praline Dream" ice cream from Baskin Robbins can make me. RightClick is a program that will allow you to configure and skin the menu you get when you right click on your desktop background, and therefore makes me giddy with delight and also makes me crave ice c

Just a side note: the picture is a little misleading. It looks like the house is in the middle of the woods somewhere, but in fact it's at the current edge of a subdivision. They just haven't built a house next to it yet, and the angle at which this picture was taken crops out the house on the other side of us. Soon we shall be surrounded and boxed in by houses that look similar to ours.

Thanks essorant. The word you might be looking for is "continually" - but I understood what you meant. BTW, running your "retro" skin right now. It's yummy!

Thanks Danny. Yes, the 2 gaping holes in the middle are the garage. Thankfully the house is only pink at the moment because it's covered in pink "house wrap". Apparently they just leave that stuff on and put the siding over the top of it. Helps insulation they tell me. Actual house colors will be some sort of dark gray with burgundy trim. I admit there is some part of me that wants to paint zebra stripes or polka dots (as others h

Update on the House in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

This week has been one of stress for me. I started teaching, but they contacted me so late (I got the job at 6pm on the day before class started) that I have nothing prepared so each week is going to be a constant battle to get ready for the next class, trying to stay one step ahead of the students instead of 10 steps. Other things are going on too, but they need not be discussed here. In all that, I've almost forgotten.
