Oh, and... He'll have that thing torn to shreds in no time!

Years ago I bought one of those giant trees (when they weren't outrageously expensive) that went floor-to-ceiling. My cats loved it, and it took them nearly two decades to completely destroy it. Tupper, even when he weighed more than 30 pounds, regularly dived off the top platform, from near the ceiling, to the couch three or four feet below. Don't worry about them jumping off and hurting themselves...

I finally trashed that tree when I moved to Palmdale two years ago. I replaced it with a much smaller cat tree (that cost me more than twice as much as the old one did). It's since been shredded too, but Tupper and Crystal are almost always sleeping in/on it somewhere every morning when I come home from work.

I bought this one which was the least expensive one I could find, I am sure that once the carpeting is shredded I can wrap sisal rope on it with some glue and get some more use out of it!

Ever have one of those totally embarrassing "Ah-Ha" moments? Well, embarrassing may be a bit too strong, but Doh!! definitely. I just had one.

Every once in a while Firefox would switch to a mode where a circle with an up and down arrow would appear and I could use the mouse to scroll up and down and sideways. It's very handy but I never quite found out what the trigger mechanism was... until now. I thought it was scroll speed, timing, extra sensory, whatever. Well, today I figured out that there is a button build into my scroll wheel and I could just press the scroll wheel and it would toggle modes... DOH!!!

OK... That's been a feature of Windows (it's not unique to FF) for the last several versions.

I'm using my tablet with its own mouse and the button on the scroll wheel is very sensitive. Every so often it goes into that mode when I don't want it to... Mucho annoying.

POTN never ceases to amaze me. This time in a good way... I just received a PM thanking me for information I had posted in a thread back in December of 2007...

Exactly..

I am sure I have seen a rule posted somewhere about bumping, or is that only in the Buy / Sell threads.

There is something almost pathetically sad about seeing the one word "Bump" posted several hours after the initial post by the OP

well I got almost everything packed and shipped today. WOO HOO!!

I am sickened and sit here with heavy heart seeing the news they released Abdelbeset Ali mohmed al Megrahi from a Scottish prison today. This is one of the terrorists that murdered my best friend, before his 20th birthday, and only a couple days before Christmas, by blowing up Pan Am 103. He was released on compassionate grounds because he has terminal cancer. A brutal beating and a bullet to the back of the head is the only compassion he should have got.

Zane, I'm really sorry. I can't imagine how someone who snuffed out so many lives, deserves any compassion.

We flew to Bangalore this morning (My favorite city in India) We are staying in the Oberoi Hotel which could not be any more in the center of town if it tried (Right on the MG Road (every Indian city has an MG Road at it's centre "Mahatma Gandhi Road")) Having said that this is the view from the balcony.

Beautiful location & every time I see Teresa, I'm just struck by how naturally beautiful she is.

Yes, it's rule 3.2 in the rule book.

We tend to remove them without comment when we come across them.

But, yes. If someone bumps a thread, they only serve to make themselves look pretty pathetic.

Congratulations! Now you'll soon discover that pressing down on the wheel while the cursor is over a hyperlink will open that link in a new tab!

I don't have to press, i just click.

Zane, I was not going to post anything in response to your post as this is a really personal thing and everyone has a valid view as everyone is emotionally affected either directly or indirectly by these incidents.

In this case, I think that as the man has less than 3 months to live, the fact that we can, and did show compassion demonstrates to him, Libya and the world that we are better people and our values and humanity are greater than those who use violence to further their causes.

I am not disagreeing with you, as there is no right or wrong here, I just see it differently.

I LOVE FIGURING THINGS OUT!!!

I'll state first of all that I am not a programmer so this is rather elementary to anyone that knows Java Script. I, however, am NOT a programmer. I just spent the last 40 minutes or so getting this to work in Liquid Office


function CSForm_OnLoad()
{
document.getElementByI​d("Hyperlink13").inner​HTML="Map this Property - TEST";
document.getElementByI​d("Hyperlink13").href=​"http://wspwit01.ci.ta​coma.wa.us/govMe/Maps/​Inter/MapGuideCS/MGMai​n.aspx?Type=Tidemark&O​bject=" + CSForm.getField("S_Par​cel").getValue() + "&X=" + CSForm.getField("Parce​lX").getValue() + "&Y=" + CSForm.getField("Parce​lY").getValue() + "&Width=500";
}

It basically creates a dynamic URL based upon information gathered on a few forms.

I shoulda tried that with the old tree...

For now, this is the one we have now. The pic is two years old, when it was new and Tupper was still contemplating what part to destroy first. The bottom post is shredded to the point there's not much left any more. Kitteh doesn't waste any time... She did most of the work on that one.

I noticed we were upgraded to a new version of the forum software about a week ago. I haven't experimented to see what other things we have available now.

XML is the devils work. I have to mess with it on occasion.

I'm not even going to spend the next 40 seconds trying to figure out what Liquid Office is! In fact, Ewwwww... I don't want to know!
