That IS cool, Joe!
And good for you, Hondaboy for taking such an interest in Japanese. Once you transfer to a four year school, most have Japanese Language Classes available, so check it out! My sister in law's mom is Japanese and even though she speaks "pretty good" English, ooooh, when she gets ticked, she slips into "CwazyJapaneseLady". Yup, pretty funny!
A little trivia--when we answer our telephone, we say,
"Hello?"
When the Danish answer their telephone, they say their first name. Pretty handy, you know who you are talking to right off the bat!

What a hilarious story about the "Weed", Pat!
My Grandparents had a Guest House and my Aunt and Cousins stayed there for a couple weeks each summer. Well, when the older Cousins were teenagers, guess what was discovered growing around the tennis court behind the house? Yep, seems Steve, Bob and Mike used that area to dispose of their seeds when on vacation in Michigan...
Oh, what a dillema I had when *trying* to explain to my Mom and Grandmother that those plants needed to be destroyed as local folks used the tennis courts....and *trying* to explain just how I knew what those plants were!
That is when I coined my phrase,
"Heyyyy, I went to Art School!"
But my biggest laugh was when my "Sainted 87 year old Grandmother" suggested we try it
All this time I thought my Dad referred to her as the "World's Oldest Hippy" because she wanted to get married barefoot on the beach in 1921, was a vegetarian and a health food nut....(noooo, we wouldn't let her try it, by the way....but Mom and I did laugh ourselves to tears!)And yup, Pat, I do have Opium Poppies--they look different than ordinary poppies, much more delicate and sometimes darn right frilly--and the buds "look down" before they bloom, a candy cane shape. But again, they're pretty--many shades of purple, pink, white and red

My kids' college has a music sharing program through their website
*happydance* *happydance* *happydance*
I'd share it, but one has to have a student ID to access it.

I don't blame you one bit for drinking the expresso, Joe, I would too!!
Can't waste that stuff!Liz

Love it, Marty! Most of these tips I've read before so I'm confident that all of these tips are on the ball!
A couple additions: Windex works great on carpet spills/potential stains! "Real Windex", no substitute. Tried and true!
Nail Polish Remover is wonderful for removing scotch/masking/duct tape residue, or anything else that is "gummy".
AND Efferdent is great for cleaning the insides of bottles! The Dollar Store Stuff works, too.
Thanks, Marty, passing it on!

Welcome to the Naughty Gardeners Club, Marty!
Wow! If the cops ever showed up to my house saying my opium poppies had to be destroyed, I'd flip! Glad I live in a tinytown and the cops likely are uninterested in my flowerbeds.
Like you, I have no idea how to make a drug out of the posies...I just grow them because they "came with the house", they're perinneal and they're so pretty
It's tragic that they made you get rid of the plant. What a waste, especially since you were growing it for it's beauty. I have lousy luck with cacti and gave up on trying to grow them--it takes a talented and patient (I have NO patience!) gardener to make cacti grow!

Pat, I googled Salvia Divinorum and it looks like the blue flowered perinneal salvia (that I have in my garden!! Many years ago, I discovered I have Opium Poppies, too
So what, they're pretty!! )I'm surprised at the rhubarb leaves--I thought the stems were ok to eat, but the leaves were poisonus?

Ohhh...my...gosh....it's late here and I only made it through page 4, but so far this sounds so much like my job at the Flooring Store! Which I got "suspended" for twice and eventually quit because I refused to lie to my customers....(Boss couldn't rightfully fire me because my "honest-tactic"-salesfigures were too good, he wanted to!!! )
The upside is that my customers followed me to my next job at the Furniture Store because I was up front with them!!
I'll read the rest tomorrow, but right now, the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end! Ewww *shivers*, bringing back some very bad memories!
This is looking like an eye-opener, Sultan, thanks for sharing it!
Advice to folks--don't work commission. Yes, you'll make great money, but it isn't worth it if you want to sleep at night!

Is "Here's your sign" appropriate in this situation? :D Oh, Joe, I'm laughing at Sethook's response...and WITH you, not AT you. Coming from someone who discovered Flash Drives still work just fine after getting sucked up the vacuum cleaner and getting dug out of the vacuum cleaner bag.

Wow, what a lot of great information here!!
My 2cents worth:
Directions to close the Preview Pane in Outlook and Outlook Express
Just delete junk-email without opening it
Don't open attachments unless you scan them--or to be totally safe, don't open attachments!
Phishing and Nigerian-Type scams--especially if the club has elderly folks in it, they're prime targets
And with all the great tips you're giving, DO put the links and brief definitions on a paper handout for them to take home.
And THANK YOU, Mike for sharing your knowledge! What a great gift to the Library Club

He knowed dat dem big bass fish like frogs, so he decides to steal dat froggie.
Dat snake, he be a cotton moufed water moccasin, so Boudreaux had to be real careful or he'd get bit.
He snuk up behine de snake and grabbed him roun de haid. Dat ole snake din't lak dat one bit.
He squirmed and wrapped hisself roun Boudreaux's arm try'n to get hisself free. But Boudreaux, him, hada real good grip on his haid, yeh.
Well, Boudreaux pried his mouf open and got de frog and puts it in his bait can.
Now, Boudreaux knows dat he cain't let go dat snake or he's gonna bite him good, but he had a plan.
He reach into de back pocket of his bib overhauls and pulls out a pint a Alabama moonshine likker.
He pour some drops into de snakes mouf. Well, dat snake's eyeballs roll back in his haid and his body go limp.
Wit dat, Boudreaux toss dat snake into de bayou, den he goes back to fish'n.
A while later Boudreaux dun feel sumpin tappin' on his barefoot toe.
He slowly look down and dere be dat cotton moufed water moccasin, wif two more frogs.
Life is Good!

Marty, Pierce's thread had a "You Tube Video Box" in it. Sometimes those gadgets load a little slow, giving the appearance of a blank page (until it loads)
Try clicking Pierce's thread again and grab a cup of coffee, then see if there is a Youtube box there. If it's still a blank page, post back for the experts to chew on.

Brian, being an Uncle gives you the Special Priviledge of spoiling the kids rotten (parents can't!) and giving the kids noisy, complicated and battery operated presents (parents won't!)
Aunties and Uncles get to have the most fun (and yes, even though my sisters cuss at me at Christmastime, my nieces and nephews are the most fun to buy for
Yeah, I'm a wee bit evil....)Liz

Aww, too cute! And they're worth every penny

Well, when IE7 was first offered through automatic updates, I declined it and checked the box,
"do not offer this update ever again"
Perhaps the user checked this box before XP was reinstalled and MS remembered the user declining the IE7 offer? Does it work like that? (I have no idea, just a guess
)Liz
-
Well, I'm glad you ask everytime, Nancy! I installed my updates last night problem free thanks to the good reports here. Thanks!
