Terri, I just saw your signature and it made me choke on an almond that I happened to be swallowing. HOCK!
GA! Sorry! :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Wadey cakes is going to drive me nuts.

He's been YouTube surfing, but he stops on the most incredibly annoying crap and lets it play and play and play.

I'm going to have to invest in some headphones.

[misspix]

The twins are straight out of a horror flick. They remind me a little of the boy twins in The Shining.
They are girl twins in the original.

:lol:

Favorite part after the cape
:lol:

The wife brought home some old pictures and stuff from her grandmothers today. I started to scan some of the stuff because it was so cool I had to share it. I have to clean these up still but I don't think I'm going to do that until I am done scanning.

She has mountains of this great stuff. I have to get through it will she is still with us and get as much of it documented as possible.
That some great stuff Eric. Looking forward to some more cool finds.

I forgot to mention that you guys are crazy.
You're just now noticing?? :|

Didn't the headphone conversation just occurr like a couple days ago??

[eddarr]

They are girl twins in the original.

Are they? For some reason I thought they were boys. That is one of those movies I have never seen all the way through. I have seen every part of that movie but only in little pieces here and there when it's on TV.

You're just now noticing?? :|

Actually I am starting to understand why I am drawn to this place and you people.

[cfpackerfan]

Didn't the headphone conversation just occurr like a couple days ago??Yes. It did. It must have been lingering in my subconscious. :lol:

Yeah, but that was the rated 'G' for Geek conversation. I have no idea how much mine cost, what their decibel thingies are, or what kind of bass they thrum. Plus my chest is not involved.

Yes. It did. It must have been lingering in my subconscious. :lol:

It won't linger long, that's a scary place.

Besides, I go back home in the morning.

Don't know about Homeland Security...I've heard good reviews from several friends and co workers about it.

The Last Templar was a made for TV movie....so you know many are so so. Personally, I liked the first part enough to want to watch it through to the end...I like history stuff too. I'm gonna watch the 2nd part at home later today.

[3Turner]

[DDA]

GMAEON everyone!

Nice shots Eric

[thomascanty]

Vista print. Ick.

They don't do that any more, though. They got sued and were forced to stop. I had 500 business cards printed early last year via Vista Print. I had no complaints about the transaction.

Lonnie, nice rant. I think this shot also makes the fire engine look like a toy. Try the model processing on it....I'd like to see what it does.

I will. I just have to figure out where I want to set the focus on it. I have time to think about that, though. I just got started working on the pictures yesterday evening before I had to head to work, and the fire engine pictures are at the very end of the trip. I have about 120 or 130 to work through before I get to that one...

Do your dogs have to touch you when they are with you?

Minnie doesn't want to continuously be touching me, but she does walk over to me every five or ten minutes or so and give me a little bump with her nose.

I have yet to hear any purring tho

I seem to recall hearing somewhere that most kittens can't (or don't) purr. I have no idea where my remembery is dredging that up from, though. In any case, everything so far sounds just as should be expected. Every cat I've ever brought home acted like your two for three or four weeks in the beginning.

as soon as they trust you, start doing it weekly. My vet had me start on Calypso when she was a kitten and I can do her weekly but she doesn't like it. She'll sit still though because she's used to it.

Really? I've had cats for about 25 years now and I've never once clipped a cat's nails. That's what the scratching posts are for. The cats take care of it themselves.

Is your cache still active?

No. I put it on one of the summits near Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park, which I named Ashley Peak (that was the name of the geocache also). It lasted for about three years before it got muggled. It was shortly after that when that whole part of the park burned a couple years ago. So, if the muggles hadn't destroyed it, the fire would have anyway.

I liked that, Lonnie. I see Minnie was off leash and not running off. Does she do better in wide open spaces like that?

Oh yeah! I was going to ask about Minnie being off leash as well!

She's been improving over the past month or two. A lot! It's almost scary how much she reminds me of Ashley these days. I just might make a hiker out of her yet. She still has her urges to run, but she does respond to her name when I call her (usually grudgingly). So, when I'm walking her off leash, I tend to just call her name a lot. She also knows what "Slow down!" means, but it usually only lasts about five to ten seconds before she's back up to speed again... :lol:

Actually, we could not come to consensus on the bidet and so have an out door restroom. Second tree to the left. Leaning building thingy with a crescent moon cut out. Can't miss it

And it has such a great view, too!

G'mae all.. Boy am I having a hard time getting going today. I even went to bed early last night.

[FocalPrincess]

Morning and stuff. Kids have a 2 hour delay today (bless those, I hate the alarm with a passion) which is awesome. Gotta work on potty training today a bit too.

Ick I like those pics....I really like the last one though...the mood of it.

[Becky N]

Nice Diane. And I really like your logo.

I do too, I'm thinking about adding a border like you and Tiff have.

Becky, I really like the trains and legos from the Domes! I'll have to show hubby the Santa Fe and Pennsy ones tomorrow.

Thanks

The wife brought home some old pictures and stuff from her grandmothers today. I started to scan some of the stuff because it was so cool I had to share it.

Neat stuff, Eric. I was surprised to see some of the girls have pants on.

I see we had fun last night. Whoever spilled the secret password is in trouble. Poor snake boy, does he have any scales left?

G'mae all. I hope it's a good one!

[Becky N]

Hey Deb and Zane.

Bit late on the reply, stepped out to get ready for work, I'm early today getting ready. Now I have 1/2 or so before actually leaving the house. :D Think I'll work on my grocery list, doesn't get much more exciting than that on a Thursday morning. :rolleyes:

[Harm]

Hi people,

nice shots ick of your gran.
tiff - great shots of your little kid
diane - nice cold shots of the ice out there

[Chet]

Hi peoples of POTN.

Nice pictures Eric.

[Miniflash]

Hi Becky ..Harm waving ..
Harm how is the weather there ?

[Harm]

It is good today, no rain, no snow....roads are a little nasty due to all the ice, but all the main roads are cleared up....bodes well as the temperatures will actually be positive for the first time in about 2 weeks (+2°C)

[short5]

How much work do you put into it? I tend to go to the store most days. I make a list for dinner and add on a few things when I am there.

[Miniflash]

Thanks for the update Harm :) its beautiful here this morning ..well the skies are anyway

[Becky N]

How much work do you put into it? I tend to go to the store most days. I make a list for dinner and add on a few things when I am there.

Our town doesn't have much variety in our 2 groceries so I go over to Rockford every two weeks. Woodman's is where I shop, they say it is as big as two football fields. Lots of variety and a bit cheaper than the other big one over there, Logli's. Though it lacks a fish counter and their deli is much smaller. I'm also on Cat's diet plan so it takes a bit more planning.

You don't need a diet you look marvelous

[Becky N]

You don't need a diet you look marvelous

:o Thanks, but; I would like to shed a few more pounds, I'm almost at the top of my "ideal" weight, I'd rather be in the middle ground. What I really need to do is get to exercising, I let the cold weather deter that even though there are plenty of warm options around. I'd rather go with the free stuff like walking and biking.

[Guineh]

Hi all.

No longer working in my pink bunny slippers and polkadot boxers.

[Becky N]

Got to run, my 1/2 hour is done. See you all later, like around lunch, I hope.

Yep. Freezing rain, then a dusting of sleet. Ugly nasty stuff.

[sevillafox]

Deb, cuties are doing fine. They're with my sis-in-law today as my normal sitter is getting a fixed. It was weird heading to work without them. Ian was ALL smiles this morning. I'll have some pics later when I get home to process them. Nothing but snapshots really but they make me smile. :D

They finally locked the thermostat in my classroom so I'm stuck with 70 degrees max. It sucks. It's way too cold for me and I can't teach in a blanket. :cry:

Wish I could see your pic....I'll have to remember later...stupid web block.

I haven't been because I could sneak the heat up. I do have a sweater and long-underwear tanktop on today but I'm still cold. I don't think it's fair to have to wear long underwear to work inside. But, I guess the heat bill for last month was $45K so they're trying to cut back.

[Becky N]

That is adorable. Who made his quilt? It is very similar to the one my SIL made for Aiden.

Speaking of whom, I working on getting him for an overnight or 2 the 13th and 14th, will pass on the snow sculpting in Chicago if it works out.:D

It's some lock in the digital thermostat control. I can push the up button all I want but it won't budge past 70.

[Miniflash]

Tiff I understand about the heat cost our house heat runs over 500 /month ..yikes ..and we make too much to get any help and yet we make over 50% less than when I worked .

[Miniflash]

Carter is most certainly a cutie.Thanks Chet :)

[eddarr]

Morning.

[sevillafox]

Yeah, it costs us a bunch at home too...about $400 a month. It sucks. We have been keeping it at 67 in the past but with Ian I put it up to 70. It's still too cold I think. But, if I put the heat up any higher it gets super hot upstairs. At least at home I can wear sweats and a blanket.

It is true to some extent. I would rather have the dry heat. The day we moved out of Houston it was 101F and 97% humidity. That really sucks right there.

[FocalPrincess]

A lot of folk shoot macro in MF and move the camera back and forth to achieve focus. A monopod or tripod helps.

Problem is that I'm wobbly enough that moving it back and forth happens despite my best efforts. Such is life, I'll save for a decent tripod soon.

Hi peoples of POTN.

He's super cute!

Heh. I saw somewhere about ice patrol... You should have seen the circus here.

Pretty sure I was part of that circus in a rear-wheel drive truck parked at the top of our lane and a toddler who's not heavy enough to bust thru the ice on his own......good times on carpool day.

Is ok ..Tiff :) do you dress in layers to help stay warm? My sis has a adversion to cold and once cold takes forever to warm up

Scarf. I swear by the scarves lately.

I haven't been because I could sneak the heat up. I do have a sweater and long-underwear tanktop on today but I'm still cold. I don't think it's fair to have to wear long underwear to work inside. But, I guess the heat bill for last month was $45K so they're trying to cut back.

1600 square feet of poorly insulated, crappy window goodness. :D


Like most of the seasoned homes in Wisconsin.


Definition of seasoned is old piece of junk that costs $160,000 for an 1100 sq ft. home built in 1926 with bad windows and very settled insulation. Add asbestos/slate siding for fun.

Howdy Ladies and Gents.

Hehehe, I saw a bunch of apartments being built around the corner from the office...1600 sqft and up...prices start at $1m+ even in this turmoil market!!

but still, a large house to heat up!!

do any of you use a wood stove to heat up the house?

Ours was $70K.

:shock:

Diane uses wood. My parents do too. We use fuel oil. We're going to do a lot of work when we remodel. Lots of insulation, rewiring, new windows, new furnace, new ductwork....it's going to be nice when it's done but suck until then. Of course, we have no firm plans for a remodel yet.

howdy all.
no time for catch up so I thought I would throw a dart and spread some spam

Darn, which I were more creative!

Yes, we heat almost solely with wood as our other option is an electric heat pump that is horribly inefficient. We have 2 levels (split level house) and 2 stoves...we use about $500 worth of wood a winter. That's from the time we need to heat until spring comes and we no longer need to heat. This year was SLIGHTLY higher as we bought 2 cords of wood split already...my husband's job switcheroo made it a little tougher for us to get it split.

G'morning

nothing on the horizon today...cept my grip is supposed to be here. yay :)

:o Thanks, but; I would like to shed a few more pounds, I'm almost at the top of my "ideal" weight, I'd rather be in the middle ground.

I haven't seen my ideal weight in 21 years sadly. :( I haven't even seen next door to it.

[sevillafox]

Yay for the grip Lisa!

I'd be happy to see 200 again although I don't really care about weight I do want to get into better shape.

[thomascanty]

We have been keeping it at 67 in the past but with Ian I put it up to 70.

Last year when I mentioned I had my thermostat set to 70, everyone in here thought I was nuts. This year I've been keeping it at 65, and it doesn't really feel any colder to me. And, my monthly gas bill has been less than half what it was at the same time last year.

Don't worry. Lonnie and I will be the ones complaining when it's 120F here.

Damn straight! :lol:

It is true to some extent. I would rather have the dry heat. The day we moved out of Houston it was 101F and 97% humidity. That really sucks right there.

I spent a summer stationed in Orlando, FL when I was in the Navy. Boy what that ever miserable! You could take a shower, then step out and immediately start sweating so badly you instantly needed another shower. That's just one reason why I don't care for Florida...

[thomascanty]

Oh, and the new camcorder is here! Woohoo! Tiny little thing, though. And it can hold just shy of five hours of HD video on an 8Gb SD card. Kewl! I bought two cards for it. I might need to get a spare battery while I'm at it.

I wish I could feel comfortable at that temp. It'd be fine if I could stay wrapped in a blanky and curl up on the couch but there's no way that's going to happen with the boys.

I'm giving up for the rest of the day. I'm putting my coat on. I can't get warm.

The heat here is weird....it'll heat to the set temp and then, if it goes over, it turns on the cold air. Air is AWLAYS running. If it could be shut off, it'd be a lot nicer.

Wow. That's pretty stupid... It's probably costing them a lot more than they should be spending, too.

I have the same problem in our new house... it's pumping air out ALL the frickin time. It heats for awhile, then just blows cooler air for like 25 minutes. I hate it!

[Becky N]

I haven't seen my ideal weight in 21 years sadly. I haven't even seen next door to it.

After my past life, I put on a lot of weight. Then got over it and started to lose. I found I always lost weight easily and quickly when I fell in lust with someone. Think Curt would mind if I did that for a little bit.:D;)

I suppose you could call it that. :lol: I can't wait for the battery to finish charging so I can give it a whirl. According to the manual it also does still photos at 3744x2808 resolution. Isn't that about 10mp? :shock: The 40D's images are 3888x2592...

I wonder what the quality of the still shots is like, though.

That's not right. The system in your house is different than the system in a school. The fan should blow for 1-2 minutes after the heat or A/C kicks stops. And that's it. If it running more than that your system has an issue with the shut off switch.

[cfpackerfan]

Huh. Just noticed that we tend to 'ling' our words a lot. Weird. :lol:

G'night for real-ling *snort*Hello fellow linger.

lingnight threadmuffins.

*yeah....hanging with the in crowd*LOL! :lol:



When you feel that little sort of tickle, go then. If you wait it may be too late. It's not hard, you will get it.
ROFLOL! :lol:

I'm also on Cat's diet plan so it takes a bit more planning.How is that going for you?

You don't need a diet you look marvelous^^ And that.

I was just looking through TPBM #6. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of when I found a "free to good home" ad in the Recycler for a little Corgi mix mutt...WOW... can't believe it's been a year already. Happy anniversary. :D

Darn, which I were more creative!
You don't have to be creative. You put in members' signature quotes that you've seen around the forum. Go scanning, see some fun ones, list them in that thread. :D

[Miniflash]

Hi again

[Miniflash]

Paula thanks about my Avi..and nephew

[sevillafox]

Wow. That's pretty stupid... It's probably costing them a lot more than they should be spending, too.

One would think. It sucks.

[Chet]

Hi again Deb.

[misspix]

Hullo Cat. I am invisible today.

[cfpackerfan]

Hullo Cat. I am invisible today.I'm working on semi-invisible. It takes quite a bit of energy, so I'm hoping that it makes up for not going to the gym yesterday.

[Permagrin]

I AM VISIBLE!! LOOK AT ME!!

[thomascanty]

WOW... can't believe it's been a year already. Happy anniversary. :D

Thanks. One week from today will be the one year anniversary of when I actually brought her home. And, then I spent the next few months saying a lot of the same things PermaPuddles have been saying for a few weeks now... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Another thing that surprised me was that I had to go all the way back to TPBM #6 to find that! We've gone through 14 threads in 12 months! :shock: (uh, I mean HOCK) Didn't it take us the better part of a year just to get through the first one? Oh, wait... That one did make it over 50,000 posts before we started getting split at 10K, didn't it? :lol:

[poppie guy]

I AM VISIBLE!! LOOK AT ME!!

oh snap. pffffft

[Becky N]

How is that going for you?

Finished session 2 Tuesday. Session 1 I lost all the holiday weight, session 2 a couple more pounds, I don't think 1 100 cal beer substitutes well for 10 10 cal beverages.:rolleyes: I'm staying with the same food stuff through Sunday and starting session 3 on Monday. This will get me through the big game party on Sunday and get me on rotation so my cheat days hit the weekend.

Hullo Cat. I am invisible today.

Cool flames coming out of mid-air, I like.:D

[thomascanty]

[Miniflash]

Hi Cat how's things ? How is Marian doing these days? does she still use the Rebel?

[Permagrin]

oh snap. pffffft
:lol::lol:


*looking*

I just didn't want anyone to miss the fact that I was here :)

[theague]

anyone seen Terri today?

[Jamie Holladay]

Darn, which I were more creative!
It is not about you being creative per se. It is more of collecting quotes of the members that are profound, silly etc. Kinda like the one of JT's that is in my signature. Or the Orange one in my signature for that matter.

I think it's the adjustment thing. For us, not having a dog and then suddenly having a dog was a huge adjustment. For you, having a well behaved dog to an untrained one was as well.

[Jamie Holladay]

I am having to adjust to Eli being more snuggly. Lately all he wants to do is lie with me on the sofa so I can scratch his belly. that is all well and good until he starts snoring.

[Chet]

I AM VISIBLE!! LOOK AT ME!!

eRRR... I can still see you.

anyone seen Terri today?

Nope.
