Is ok... you have another coming up in only 7 more posts :smile:
I got stuck at drill until 5:30 :frown: Around 3:30 we started getting the waves of vehicles coming back from Camp Ripley... When we closed the shop on them (we were supposed to be done at 4) they still had 12 left... Who plans this stuff? Was a long day, I was filling in for the guy who was filling in for our Motor Sergeant who left to go to another unit. Fun, Fun,Fun!!! Went well though, people were actually busy. We got more done today than they usually get done all weekend. Just goes to show how much more productive you can be if you are not being micro-managed...
That pimp link is rather odd since it should be at the top of every page then. I'll see if I can edit it out.
The St. Patty's Day geohunt looks fun. My daughter's having a shamrock sleepover the night before so I'll see if I can either get the girls to come or get the parents to pick them up earlier. Thanks for the invite.
We should just ignore hime and maybe he'll go away. He's pretty stupid though. He's convinced the hunt was a set up to let us find it, yet he still went out to look for the 2nd one.
If I was convinced it was a set up, I sure as hell would quit looking!
If any of you want in on fantasy March Madness for Yahoo - I started a group. PM me, and I'll send you the log in and password stuff, cause as I'm typing it - I can't remember the group number.
I was just 'cleaning house' in my files and came across it - I didn't think about it pointing to us here - just a useless page out there in cyberspace that I thought should be thrown away/recycled - I can't imagine the hundreds of thousands of abandoned e-mail addresses and web-pages in cyberspace... good point on it linking here though- carry on
It looks like Par Ridder is leaving the press.. I have thought that he was or is one of the recent clue writers, I wonder if the clues will be different for 2008?
yeah i saw that too when i was trying to find his phone number. we didn't receive our paper today or saturday mornings, and i figured i'd try and go as far to the top as i could. i sonn realized that threatening him with changing to the strib would be pointless :smile:
If you (anyone) had to start over today and get a new operating system for your computer, would you buy Windows Vista, or purchase some form of Windows XP? This is assuming that you would have to pay for both of them...
Vista may have bugs for a while. And XP has support for 5 more years (I heard, you can check on thet). If it does have 5 yrs more support, I'd stick with XP.
Thanks for the input. I knew that there would be compatibility issues with it, just as there was with all of my DOS games when I got WIN2K Pro.
I still haven't really looked at it too much to even see what is supposed to be different to make it bigger and badder than XP. My luck, I would buy it and it would be another ME type of deal... (glad I never got on that bandwagon...
This is a quiz for people who know everything! I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers.
1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?
3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?
4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters " dw" and they are all common words. Name two of them.
7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?
8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.
9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter "S."
1. The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends . Boxing
2. North American landmark constantly moving backward . Niagara Falls (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)
3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons . . Asparagus and rhubarb.
4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside . . Strawberry.
5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle. (The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place o n the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.)
6. Three English words beginning with dw Dwarf, dwell and dwindle.
7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar . . Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.
8. The only vegetable or fruit never sold ! frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh.
Lettuce
9. Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with "s" . Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates, snowshoes, stockings, stilts.
Yeah, they keep score, but the boxers and spectators don't know the score until the end. The judges keep score on their own, and once it gets to the end they tally the judges' scores.
wwwwwwwwoooooooohooooooooo
I'm all alone
