Web sites! Arrgh!




Nothing like a computer to enable you to do an hour's work in only six hours! Finally finished updating the helmet section though! What a job! Lots of new helms (well, new pictures anyway) and a few things moved around so as to make loading quicker.
Everything that could go wrong DID go wrong! I actually dropped a file! Butterfingers, I could see doing that in an office with a manila folder, but a computer file? I was moving it from point A to point B, and addidently dropped it...somewhere on the 'puter. Not sure where. Had to use the "find file" function in order to track the little sucker down! It was buried down somewhere in the "quicken" files.
Then I discovered that these three files which to my eye are the same, are actually not recognized as the same by the links! Helm1.JPG, Helm1.jpg, Helm1.jpeg...... Consistency! I need consistency!

Got a couple of games at auction t'other night. One was Myst, and the sequel Riven. I have decided that Myst is the most boring game since watching the Montreal Expos! Not exactly point and shoot! Waste of another 2 hours! I just kept going to see if it would get better! It didn't! I think it would be more entertaining to use the CD's as skeets!

Brenda has been in court all day. She is not a witness, so she just went for interest sake. (The lady next door is accused of setting fire to her house) She was all alone at the courthouse, hearing all those awful things said about her. I personally don't believe she did it....at least not intentionally, but as soon as mental health is brought into question, the whole world just seems to turn against you. Brenda spent the time holding her hand, and letting her sob. Either she or one of her personalities did intentionally burn the place out, or it was simple carelessness with a cigarette. Either way, she lost everything.

People say....I can smoke if I want to...there is no evidence of second hand smoke hurting anybody. Well, how about second hand fire? Half the fires in Canada are directly or indirectly caused by smokers. Even kids playing with matches....where did they get the matches from? That alone would be a good reason to re-think putting a burning weed in your face. But judgement is not mine....I can only try to understand.

it depends on what your smoking.

Sorry, I am a little sensitive about that issue right now! Won't take much for me to slide into rant mode...

Lady was found guilty this afternoon of arson, brought back to reckless endangerment in consideration of her state of mind at the time.... 3 counts. The insurance will now sue for all the money they spent for her stay in the hotel room, the house is gone, her life is gone. She lost everything due to a stupid addiction to nicotine. She may or may not do jail time, but will certainly do Mental Hospital time.
She still ducks outside the courtroom every 30 minutes for another cigarette.

The life of Chuck Norris
Sebastian sent this tongue-in-cheek tribute to Chuck Norris:

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

If you ask Chuck Norris what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till." After you ask, "Two seconds till what?" he roundhouse kicks you in the face.

Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may be only seconds away from death.

Those aren't credits that roll after Walker Texas Ranger; it is actually a list of people that Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked in the face that day.

If you unscramble the letters in "Chuck Norris" you get "Huck corn, sir." That is why every fall, Chuck travels to Nebraska and burns the entire state down.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

In fine print at on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and that those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone has ever come to matching him.

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck allows to live.

Chuck played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a handgun and a bucket.
