Reply to I Want A Man in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Tex, someone out there is the person you thought you had before. Heck, there's probably a dozen of 'em, even in Hawaii. You'll find one, or he'll find you, sooner or later. And while you may feel fragile or devastated or cracked right now, know that you are no more broken overall than anybody else. You may have issues, you may be a lot to handle sometimes, but you're really just on par with any other person looking for a steady relationship.

Not sand, sugar! If they sleep with exposed skin, their body heat will melt the sugar and they'll wake up glued to the sheets. Bwahaha! Happy new year and all that!

Also, FireFox has its own set of skins available. Primarily they just change the appearance of the toolbar buttons, but that's exactly what doesn't get changed by WB, so you can get everything changed if you want to.

Reply to monica is so hott!! in Humor JoeUser Forums

Merriam-Webster agrees that "deet" is a word. Clearly its etymology stems from the initials of the chemical name, combined with a need to distinguish itself from Delirium Tremens, and it is a rather recent formation (mid-to-late 20th century), but it does seem to qualify as a full-fledged word nevertheless.

Reply to Thank goodness for blogger fact checking... in Politics JoeUser Forums

In my experience, many liberals only really care about the "truth" if it supports their side of the story. Other facts are either distorted or outright ignored. Replace the word "liberals" with "conservatives" and the statement is still just as valid. Replace it with "people" for a good general view of

Reply to Racial profiling or Common sense? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Let me ask you this, mismos: If the government knew that a group of angry young male Mexicans with shaved heads and tattoos on their scalps planned to blow up an INS building in Texas, would they therefore have cause to do a strip-search on a middle-aged blonde Canadian lady crossing the border at Niagara Falls?

Hey TW, hope you had a fine trip and are having a much warmer time of it than we are in Minnesota. (It's +10 or so right now, but wind chill is down to the -30s....)

Is this really going to stay in Vegas? in Misc JoeUser Forums

So, just in case anybody here would miss me (though it hardly seems likely), I'll be leaving on Sunday morning for about a week. Probably won't be doing any internetting during that time, because I'll be in VEGAS, Baby! Gettin' married and havin' a good ol' time! Ping-pong all day, Party all night! Okay, actually I'm lying about that party bit. It's qui

Tex, everybody reacts to stress in their own way... there's lots of adjusting to be done to deal with some kinds of stress, so it's not really surprising that you did some things that were outside your normal range of behavior. We're all rooting for you, no matter what. Hope to hear more from you soon!

Reply to Big Brother IT! (personal rant) in Windows Software JoeUser Forums

In an ideal work environment, "Every file on your workstation" should consist of NOTHING. All the data files that you work with should be stored on the network. If you're working on a file while you're disconnected from the network (since this is a laptop), that's fine, but you should synchronize it with your networked copy ASAP after returning. The only stuff that should reside locally on your system is program files.

Reply to You might be a parent. . . in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

If you can't cross your living room without kicking toys out of the way, you might be a parent. If you often step on cheerios that are strewn around the kitchen table, it might be because you're a parent. If all your photos are of the same person, you might be a parent. If your idea of "curling up with a good book" involves either (a) more than 2 pages in a single sitting, or (b) reading slowly and out loud, you might be a parent. If yo

Reply to weather - australian style in Travel JoeUser Forums

Here in Minnesota, we need a few extra lines: String is Frozen solid: It was raining, but then the temperature dropped below freezing. String is pointing straight outward, or upward: There's a tornado nearby. String is underwater: It's flooding. String is an eerie, flickering greenish color: It's night and the Aurora borealis is shining.

Reply to Criticizing Bush in Politics JoeUser Forums

Why is it that people feel compelled to point out the shortcomings of "the other side"? Speaking as a relatively neutral person, I think I can honestly say that what Clinton received in criticism was not significantly less or more than what Bush has received, in total. I do think that the criticism of Bush is rather more vituperative, but that's because his actions have had much wider repercussions than a mere blow job or simple bombing run.
