I've been trying to load an avatar for weeks. First I couldn't get a file small enough (but good way to learn new things), then nothing would load from the dashboard (stupid safari?) and then when I went to my account from the forums, success! mebbe. I made it super small so it may show up funny.
[quote who="Tova7" comment="22"] My husband was much more willing to help before he spent so much time in the desert. Now he is suspicious of anything he perceives as weird, or out of the ordinary...even when it involves pre-teens...My poor pre-teen won't ever get away with a thing....buwhahahahaha. [/quote] Maybe his instincts have been fine-tuned because he needed them. Kind of cool, but sad that it was necessary.
This subject also reminds me how much we depend on cultural cues. I see a lot of geeky guys married or going out with really hot Japanese women. Women that, back home, would be way out of their league. It's kind of a phenomenon called "charisma man." Not all the time, but sometimes, when I look at these guys I wonder to myself why these women can't tell what kind of freaky guys these are. And I'd just like to point out that not all foreign men here are in this category. I t
That sounds like a great evening! All that creative energy. Nice!
[quote who="Tova7" comment="3"] Amazing. Makes me want to see into the other dimension and principalities....but then maybe not if the cost is my sanity...because I don't know how you could see that kind of stuff and stay sane. [/quote] I think lots of people do this. Most people have a sense of whether or not someone is dangerous to them. Sometimes a person starts out not being dangerous and then the balance shifts. I think it's part of our old predator/pre
[quote who="Tova7" comment="4"] What did he think I did all those YEARS he's been gone? [/quote] I bet he's having nightmares about it now! ;)
[quote who="Tova7" comment="1"] ...I heard once that dogs can smell sickness in people. My aunt swears they can smell cancer. [/quote] I saw a documentary on this recently. Dogs can be trained to identify the way a body smells if it has cancer. Freakin' amazing stuff. If I remember correctly, the study from the documentary was not continued because of a lack of funding and some other reason which I can't remember. [quote who="Tova7
When this event happened, my puppy was actually a full grown dog. Sadly, she's long since passed away. This dog was a femaie Sheltie named Boots. She was a fairly interesting animal. She'd originally been picked up by another family but returned when she didn't clear a vet check that discovered she had a heart murmur--probably a hole in her heart. As the breeder knew we were looking for a dog, she called my family and asked if we'd be willing to take her on a
I'm glad your husband came through for you like that. The ring is gorgeous.
[quote who="foreverserenity" comment="7"] hree little things in the container of your homeLOL! Cool answer!LOL [/quote] That is a cool answer. Very true also. :) [quote who="foreverserenity" comment="7"] I'm not sure if I'll have as green a thumb with herbs though! But container gardening is so much fun! Enjoy! [/quote] I read that basically herbs are tasty weeds so they should be easier to grow than a
Lithography equipment is beyond expensive. Cheap ones are a couple thousand dollars. It's better to find a studio where they will let you use the equipment for a fee. Solar plates are much cheaper. You can even do a block print with them (and get cheaper equipment). I like the photographic style detail of lithograph, though. Solar plates start at about $7 for a 5x7 plate. I think I will need to order them by mail.
My "yard" is about 1.5 meters squared. It is full of this creeping ivy type stuff. This is good because I like outside but not yardwork so much. This container this is just the ticket maybe. That strawberry jar sounds cool. Post pictures!
I love this plant. It has beautiful color and wonderful texture. I bought this at a dried flower shop run by a surfer-looking dude in this tiny corner of a shop. I'm glad you like the photo. I don't think it would stand up to such a huge enlargement but if it would it would be pretty cool. My next plan is to do some alternative printing methods using solar plate etching and lithograph printing. Still trying to gather all the resources together. Th
I think the photo link worked this time. I used flckr instead of Picasa. I quit and restarted the browser and still see the pcture. So this is not only a shameless bump, I want to know--can you see the blurry pinhole picture I took?
[quote who="Locamama" comment="24"] Oooh, is this where I can write one of those, please don't go comments. I guess not since you already decided. You got it wrong. You have to write a goodbye forever JU post and THEN you write the I've decided to stay post. Then you get all the please don't go comments on the former and all the I'm so glad you decided to stay comments on the latter. [/quote] Ha Ha! That is c
@ udigit and dynamaso :) Thankyou! This was a really fun challenge. Tova did pick some pretty fun words.
We moved into a house last September. It's been great. I love my house. One of the benefits of this place is that it has a fairly large balcony. Maybe 1.5mx3.5m. I'm estimating. It's enough room that we can fit a small table and two chairs and have a comfortable time having breakfast or coffee outdoors. It's right off our kitchen/living room so it's great. Ever since we moved in we toyed with the idea of growing some plants in contain
Maybe it will work this time.
[quote who="SanChonino" comment="3"] And have you ever noticed that it's usually high-school and college-aged kids that see fit to inflict such poetic abortions upon the general populace? What is it about the late teens and early twenties that makes people write such shit? [/quote] Angst, baby! Pure angst. I was just going through some papers I kept from years ago. I guess culling stuff I would like to keep scrapbooking style and I found so
[quote who="Nitro Cruiser" comment="1"] The sense of entitlement works both ways between people and government. [/quote] While this is true, I don't think your comment applies particularly to this situation. There are many ways to apply that comment and I'm not sure how you mean it in this case. I think people are pretty entitled to be supremely ticked off when tax money is wasted (and I would say making tennis courts the public can't use with public mo
[quote who="RoyLevosh" comment="9"] Sorry I'm late in finding/reading this one. I think JU can always use another JUWC member and I think you've proved yourself worthy with this one! Welcome! [/quote] Thanks for taking the time to read it and thanks for the welcome. :)
There has been a temporary 30 yen (roughly 25 cents)/liter consumption tax on gas in Japan for the last thirty years. Don't you love the loose application of temporary? But such a loose interpretation will not lose and election for your. Having the public find out that the majority of that tax which is supposed to be used for road improvement has mainly been used for massage chairs, tennis courts, unbelievably stupid graft projects like plays or paper projects to promote use
Did that picture not show up in the first reply? It shows in my mac, but I'm using my husband's computer now (windows) and it doesn't show. Can anyone see the pic in reply one or is it MIA?
[quote who="erathoniel" comment="6"]I try to delete comments due to objections with the content, not the views, of the comments[/quote] I have no idea what you are trying to express in this sentence. It sounds like you are trying to weasel out of having honest discussion you claim to desire even though you are deleting people's comments. "Deleting the content not the views?" I can only guess at the minute differentiations that make up your logic. Again, you see
I don't care if you stay or if you go. You're profusion of irritating articles is irritating, but I am under the impression you delete a lot of comments written in your articles. Maybe I'm mixed up with someone else. If that is you, then I don't really think that you have room to say that you are trying to start discussion if you are deleting things people write off your blog. Again, if this is not you, I apologize. I don't read your blog usually. Any
