No veggies yet. Rabbits overrun the area...they nibble my rosebushes and the winterberry shrubs. I don't dare plant azaleas...they ate all my neighbor's over the last few years! I work for the State Univ. of NY . Secretary (Russian Spkg) in the Languages, Literature and Cultures dept. That's a merged dept. For about 13 yrs I worked exclusively for the Slavic Dept and was the equiv of Asst. to Chair... post merger, I am same civil svc rank, and same title/pay but different duties. They added a layer btwn me and Head High Honcho (er, chair) and she is now officially titled the Asst Chair...and I had another secretary added who is supposedly my equal...if only she'd do the same amount of work...sigh..don't even get me going on that subject!

I'll upload a shot of my house tonight if I can get in- or can email it to you. I sent one that way to Moiraine earlier. Can you get jpg files at your email addy and is it in your profile? I can't recall. I have a medium sized Cape Cod. Nothing fancy, but it's all MINE, er and the bank's! HAHAHA
My yard is a work in progress. When I moved in there was nothing but clay mud, literally. In May the contractor put one lonely 4 ft high arborvitae in the back yard. I've done SO much work on the yard...sigh (acutally my housemate has too..don't want to sound like I do it all alone! I'm the planner, organizer etc, but she helps with the digging and planting!)

As for the 'push the power button' stories, LOL. I can relate! I'm the first line of help in our dept for computing problems. Hardware is not my thing, so I call out to the computing support office for that but I get all the "how come I can't see the window" questions...and the answer is: it's under another dialog box...CASCADE the windows...sigh
My all time favorite: We have a computing lab and I'm mainly responible for keeping it running. So all questions start out with me if I'm around. I have carefully labeled EACH machine and all the printers. We have six computers. two have their own prtr and three share a prt, leaving one with no printer at all. It has a sign on it with NO PRINTER in 1/2 in letters!!!). So students routinely pick that last computer and come crying to me that the printer isn't working...uh duh, you mean you are trying to print with a pc that has no printer attached...GET GLASSES or learn to read! Sheesh!

Oh that's too funny! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...gi/biggrin.gif Press start to start, kind of stuff....kills me! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...gi/biggrin.gif I just sent you some pictures! Two of the house- one is summer, one is last winter the day (April) of that wild foot plus of snow we got! Then there's one of part of the back yard/patio and my new little back porch that replaces the rotted stairs the contractor used to get the certif of occupancy but were total garbage! The shed is cute, isn't it! hehehe...we always have to explain that to a woman, it has to be cute! Not nasty utilitarian tool sheds, please! Little doll house with planter box under the window! Built to order by the Amish in Penn. and delivered fully built and dropped in the yard. LOL It's not big enough since I don't have a garage...sigh..but it holds a lot of stuff and it's the focal point in that part of the yard. The patio is that new-fangled process of poured concrete, colored and impressed (like giant cookie cutters) to look like stone and it's fooled many a visitor, including a contractor!

Ok, I'll look for them tomorrow! Did you get mine yet?
I have a 56k winmodem...so I know how it is! Looking at dsl soon, I think. Costs much gold but keep CB from frothing at mouth and CB's bestfriend-housemate from being mucho mad at not having use of phone at all! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...gi/biggrin.gif And I don't have a scanner either! CB ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memn...y/bkflower.gif Storm-Queen aka The Purple Rose of the Knight |
Nothing yet, I want DSL or a cable modem as well, but, way to much doh-ray-me,
I'm lucky enough to have two phone lines, that makes it easier. Esp when the wife needs to yak it up with her friends. ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/wildleprechaun/merlin.gif Feel My Power |
Well it took a bit to send them. I think it was 700k or something like that...could take a bit to dl, sorry! I should have broken them up!
Well, I have to do cable or dsl soon. Two phonelines would work but I figure for the cost, I might as well have FAST computer and free up the phone! Of course, where I'm gettin the gold is a good question! Guess I'll have to go questing for a dragon or two soon! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...gi/biggrin.gif CB ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memn...y/bkflower.gif Storm-Queen aka The Purple Rose of the Knight |
do you have WinZip? I'll probably zip them, It might make it faster. I told my nephew that when he gets a DSL line, march 15, I'll be over his house setting up BG2 adventures......that is if my wife lets me out to play
------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/wildleprechaun/merlin.gif Feel My Power |
Well it is time for me to go, My daughter has dance tomorrow, and I must sleep. It has been a pleasure this evening, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. You'll have those pics in the afternoon. good night.

Just bring the thread back on topic for a sec. The biggest problem with fundamentalism in any religion is that it breeds intolerance. It's my way or the highway so to speak. This is not just restricted to Islam, although much of the fundamentalist movements in today's world are Islamic. The Crusades took place because of fundamentalist Roman Catholic movements back a millenium ago, when Pope Urban II called for Crusades to take back the Holy Land. Fundamentalism blinds people to everything but the narrow path they have chosen for themselves.
I'm just amazed because here in Australia I know of a suburb out in the west of Sydney, where there's a Catholic church, a Jewish synagogue, an Islamic mosque, an Anglican church and a Buddhist temple, all in the same neighborhood. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the parishioners of the respective faiths all agree with each other, but they are able to coexist in a state of relative harmony and peace, acknowledging the other's right to exist without necessarily subscribing to their views. Why can't the rest of the world do the same? ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memnoch/genwalk.gif Memnoch - Custodian of the Holy Flame http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memnoch/fire3.gif |

I can't wait for that "who's online" add-on. Will be so nice! They use it on other boards I've been to. I wonder if it will allow the 'stealth mode' though. On the others, I've noticed you can choose from options including: show that I'm online, show that I'm online only to (a user-selected group of other members), don't show that I'm online (stealth mode). I only use that last one if I'm lurking and don't plan to be in the board too long. In some cases the 'who's online' function even tells which 'room' the player is in so you don't have to go hunting forum by forum! In other's they have that icq-type function that let's you 'message' other members to tell them where you're hanging out or ask where they are. MSN gamezone has that last feature.

Memnoch, we have our fair share of zealots here in the southeastern US but thankfully nothing like the Taliban! I did go to a funeral of a good friend last summer and the "sermon" if thats what you want to call it included a harsh scolding of the deceased and all his friends. Needless to say we were pissed off but just had to stand there and take it, not wanting to disrupt the funeral and cause any more grief to the family. However bad that was I cant quite compare southern Baptists to the Taliban though. I think the UN should impose a complete embargo of Afghanistan until a more rational form of government is formed.

MissCloudy, I know the patio process you are talking about. We built a house that was getting a front porch with the concrete slab under it. They colored it, stamped it, and made it look just like a tile porch. If I hadnt known it would have had me fooled. You can tell if you actually put your face down there and look but who does that? As you know they look great! Plus no broken tiles etc its there for good and low maintenance!
|
LoA: Yes and it is less expensive to build in addition to being more durable! Increte is the 'brand' name of the process I had done. I understand they even do it for driveways?! Now that would be interesting! I'm a pioneer in my neighborhood. First my fence- now everyone is getting similar fences...hahahaa (just a good quality cedar fence, but nobody in the neighborhood had high quality cedar privacy fencing- they were all chain link, or basic stockade or post and rail). Now the patio has intrigued them. LOL

Ladyzekke, thanks for your chortle. It put a smile on my face.
Memnoch re. your comments on fundamentalism I´d have to disagree dear brother. A fundamentalist generally sticks to the basic principles of their respective faith unerringly. The Anglican diocese of Sydney is widely regarded by other Christian denominations as fundamentalist. Though some particular preachers are quite intolerant of opposing beliefs within Christianity, they would never go so far as destroy a church etc. The crusades had little to do with religion other than the fact that it provided a means to gain the support of the common people to provide a cheap enthusiastic army. As I stated earlier, the Taliban are behaving in a similar way to most governments or orginisations of a strong ideology that seek to destroy existing monuments to a past culture. I´ve already mentioned the Communist Govts in Russia and China. This is not a necessary byproduct of Fundamentalism, but of human greed, fear and ignorance. Religious teachings mostly seek to curb the destructive elements of human nature, not enflame them. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif ------------------ Where were Hamlet and Horatio when I needed them?
