I was debating on the grocery store because we're supposed to get snow tonight (the most this year, 3-5 inches) and it just seems like I ought to go to the store. But I really don't need anything. I'll probably regret it.

Did Penney's have the lamp from the catalog you liked?

I don't think they should show how many votes any of them have. Seems like a lot of people just vote for the top ones.

No, darn it. Now I'm going to think about it for a few days.

Most people vote simply based on the hotness, true... EDIT: but number of votes, I'm not so sure we should keep that secret, since it gives designers with low point counts the opportunity to pull them, tweak, and resubmit.

Gave daughter a bird that was still alive. Daughter and friend talked about trying to rescue the bird, but decided 1. It most likely would die anyway and 2. that is life in the country for birds and cats.
The cat gave the other kid a headless baby bunny. Real good timing with that one. The owner of the house was really mad at the kid for being a slob. The kid said, what do you want me to do with this and showed the owner the bloody bunny outside his bedroom door!

Ick. "Nature" can be disgusting when it shows up (or in your case, dragged into your house).

A few years ago there was a red tail that would occasionally "lunch" in our back yard. Squirrels were on the menu. My only objection was that we had one black squirrel living in the area, and I really didn't want him eaten.

He could just drop in on us at any time???

Zilla is a Green Beret and Gman said they were extinct????
Damn, I wouldn't want Zilla after me!

I thought zilla was a Ranger . . .

He was.

dontwantaname wrote:Was he?

Don't know.

I have one sick kid, been sick all weekend. Not sure when the other one is going to get sick (if she does). If I go MIA that is why.

I wish you luck but I wouldn't count on it. Rarely does only one get sick. Three days is quite a while, is s/he doing any better?

If someone e-mails you a picture and it's huge (and I mean really, really huge), is there a way to resize it? Rephrase: Is there an easy way to resize it?

Daj surfaced yesterday long enough to say she'd been in a funk, still was, and didn't answer when I asked if I could help. As long as we know she's alive. Maybe not well, but alive.

dontwantaname wrote:Where has daj been?

She wrote a few pages back that she was in a funk. Hopefully she's doing alright and is just MIA due to internet issues.

Poof - I don't know if this will solve your picture size problem, but if you upload it to photobucket, they have an option to resize. I would guess that you'd be able to re-save it to your computer in the smaller size. I also was able to just right-click on a picture and chose "Open With... Microsoft Picture Manager". In that program, it has an option on the file menu to export, and on that screen you can change the size. I'm sure others might have a better/easier solution.

thanks. Was going to try that when I discovered that if I clicked on the attachment instead of just scrolling down, it was okay.

You can open it up in Paint if you're using Windows.
(Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.
When you get it open, go to Image > Stretch/Skew

Thenk pick percentages of "shrinkage" that seem good. You'll have to experiment. If it's not enough or too much, undo and try again. Once done, you can then save it and it's smaller!

That was weird. I've been posting as SkekTek, then suddenly it flips users to my wife's account... so that post above was from me.

dontwantaname wrote:Haunted computer.

No doubt...I posted, and looked... "kerster?" What the? And up right, it no longer had my name...

Anyone know if there is a Microsoft Exorcist program?

Thank you. A little schizophrenia?

There's a great Dodgeball contest this week if any of the T-shirt people felt like dipping their toes in.

She seems to be doing better if we keep Tylenol in her. She hasn't thrown up since Saturday morning. She does want to eat, but she always wants to be as normal as possible when she is sick.

No dname, I am not wearing gloves, although I probably should be.

Yes! It is lots of fun. JDD really came up with a good theme. I am enjoying watching. I really should add something, but I am not at my computer for a long enough go.

Evenin', all

You need to make your entire college vote for you.

True on the first, not needed on the second

While I have been trying to get the occasional student to vote for our faithful woot entrants, I'm sure the college would consider entering a t-shirt contest as being "less than scholarly".

Isn't being just a bit snooty? I don't know I guess the Universities here have a more laid back side. I bet you could get at least the faculty to vote for you.

I'm not snooty, but many of the prof's here are... unfortunately. They're just not as hip as I'd like- most are about 20 years older than I.
