Angloesque--I am just a little slow today. Now that I read your previous comment that it seems perfectly clear that was what you meant. And you are completely correct, if they cannot respond to comments then I will just not leave them any. Philomedy--Just like you said, what good is leaving comments on if you aren't going to participate in the discussion that arises there? Thanks for stopping by

Tex--Threads die, no doubt. I don't feel that we should all have to respond to every single comment on a thread (though I try to because, well, if you took the time to come by and comment the least I can do is say thanks). It is when there is an active conversations, with questions and such being posed the author, then to leave it alone is rude IMO. Chiprj--I forget as well. And when a comment gets posted on an old article of mine it is eas
I thought about just walking away and leaving this alone, you know, as an example, but. . . Naw, I will pop back in. Anglo--Yeah, I have thought about ignoring them. And I still think it is a good idea, but I don't seem to write things that are controversial or political enough to attract the guilty parties to come here and play. Oh well, such is the life in the boring blog (the original title of my blog). Dusk411--You are
I thought it was weird that 24 is also going with a January/non-stop schedule too... I don't think it is weird. I think it is especially smart for a show like 24. With only 24 episodes all taking place in one day you really, really need the continuity of not having weeks off. I think it will make it
Yeah, the lack of weeks and week off and random reruns thrown in will be a big bonus. I look forward to the direction JJ takes it this season. I recently read that he was disappointed with the direction the series took last season. Very excited, as Alias was the one show I "scheduled".
. I didn't see that one coming. Funny stuff, but now you reminded me I still have to wait until January for the new season of Alias. Grrrr.
Tex, that was amazing, moving, and very personal writing. Thanks so much for sharing it with us here.
Good afternoon everyone. Yes, yes, please come in, sit down. Today I would like to discuss with you something that has been weighing heavily on my mind. But first, may I set before you a question? Good. Who here would turn around and walk away from a conversation they started? No explanation, no "Sorry, got to go", just turn around and walk off, to onl
I saw him in a tortilla just the other day. It was an amazing experience.
I will echo f0r3's words. I found the free version to be a neat, but superfluous toy. I have found the plus version to be rock stable (so few crashes I am not even sure if I have had some) and has been a great boon to organizing and using my most frequent programs. As I have said before: If a program doesn't work for you, and is working fine for others, you had best point the finger at yourself (and your own computer) before you start casting aspersions at the developers. <B
It has been far too long since I last found solace in art. I have dozens of pictures I painted stored in boxes back at my parent's house. I may need to take it up again. Thanks for the inspiration. Thrilled to hear it is helping you. It is marvelous the way we can find inspiration around us.
I really enjoyed that chiprj. Growing up in the Salt Lake valley as I did I was accustomed to watching the sun crest over the tops of the Wasatch mountains, and bury itself in a blaze of glory in the waters of the Great Salt Lake. Now I am so surrounded by trees I don't get that anymore. I miss it. A lot.
Very isnightful article Angloesque. It is interesting to spend some time out of the US and realize just how much there is going on. Of course domestic issues are important. Of course we need to be educating ourselves to make the most informed decision possible in electing our president. But do we really need to know how far they traveled each day? Who they shook hands with? How many times they blew their nose? I think not. <B
Yes but what's their business model? Not exactly sure how to best answer that Draginol. Their site does have ads from Google on it. If you click on the thumbnail to go to the full version you also have Google text ads to deal with. They accept donations via PayPal, and you can do zip uploading (up to
I'm looking forward to the next installment! I don't think it will be too far off. This article (boring as it was) will hopefully prevent folks from wondering what I am talking about when I mention "my companion" or "our area", etc.
I have actually seen it used in countless other forums, especially for the thumbnail feature, so I don't see us putting too great of a strain on it. I think there are numerous folks here who already have their own webspace and use that (as I do). This is mainly for those who want something easy to use and free.
So I know that there are a few people here who have been posting photos. And I know that some of them (wink wink chiprj) are hoping the host they are using doesn't figure out they are hotlinking the photos. In an effort to help us all out I registered at Imageshack.us and tried uploading a photo to see how the service is. And I am pretty impressed so far. Here are
I have mentioned previously that I spent a couple of years in Guatemala. I had some powerful, crazy, and fun experiences while I was there, many that I have be bouncing around in my head as ideas for things to write about. But I felt that to avoid unnecessary explanations in the future I would write a quick article that could serve as background and would pre-emptiv
Ah yes, this is one of my favorite emails. But to be honest, I don't think anything will ever top Trogdor for me. Genius.
Raven--Where are you again? I am drawing a blank. I like a nice 4 season climate. Guatemala only had 2, summer (meaning hot and dry) and winter (meaning hot and soaking wet). I really missed a decent winter after a couple years of that.
Lifehappens--Wow, another Mormon around these here parts! Very cool. As to the writing of the article, well, I had been thinking long and hard about what I wanted to write about for my "landmark" 100th post. Suddenly the thought came to me to write this. The more I thought about it the more I felt the need to write it. So here it ended up. Thanks for stopping by!
Dharma, it gets even better here. There is a Urologist here in our department named. . .Dr. Weiner. Yep, Dr. Weiner. Lifehappens--One of these days I will write a blog as to what led me to the decision of Urology. Many find it odd. Glad you found a good one.
At the earliest, it is when the baby could sustain life outside of the mother. So you think that post-natal abortions should be allowed, right? Because a newborn infant certainly cannot "sustain life outside of the mother". Their life is sustained 100% by their caretakers in a way that no one who has
Hopefully it will be seen as such and noone feels the need to flame away. I can hope, right? I mean, we can't mention one of the candidates without a flame, right? I just thought I would get it over with soon. You know, the band
I thought the second was the worst and the third was the best. But I'm in the minority on that last one. To be quite honest, I just don't see that many movies. After hearing so many bad comments about the second and third (from people who were very passionate about the first) I just sort of lost intere
