TheLizard Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I should've known my recent liquid-related activities would draw Ray out of his hiding place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I always click those "click here if you're not redirected" links, even if it IS redirecting me. Does anyone else do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Nope, because I think my browser is very clever when it can redirect me without me having to click anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yeah, Fin. I agree with Rads. It must be only you. Tsk, tsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I do that too, from time to time, mostly if it's just taking too long (as in more than 5 seconds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I do that too, from time to time, mostly if it's just taking too long (as in more than 5 seconds) Jep that's the only time I do it. Or I refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 here's my random thought... a while ago Amy had started a thread called "The Waistline watchers club" or something to that effect. I thought of it because the photos I've seen of myself scream "cow! cow! cow!" so it needs to be addressed. I'm not a scale-stepper. I'm more of a "how do I feel, and how do my clothes fit" sort. And I will feel better, and my clothes will fit better in about 15 lbs. Onward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Considering that probably only curtains were used prior to their invention, the mind that formulated venetian blinds contained a practical engineering genius! They are so efficient for cooling/heating, as well as privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yes Ron, were it not for venetian blinds it'd surely be curtains for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolonthehill Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) wow this is really weird... I've always thought of months, days of the week, grades at school, subjects at school, numbers, hours of the day, notes on my viola, and probably a lot of others, as each having a specific colour. I had noticed it before, and I find it very helpful for organising stuff, but I had no idea that it was actually a scientifically recongnised phenomenon and has a name: Grapheme-colour synesthesia - Wikipedia Man, I love wikipedia.

Shawna Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm glad it has a name, as well... I've been assigning colors to things I hear and see and smell all my life. Like the music from a guitar, depending in the tone, will be smokey bronze, and the voice from a singer's mouth, if it's Roger, is like warm chocolate color, complete with puffs of steam from the heat.

edna Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It´s funny cause I always thought that people would associate names, numbers, sounds, tastes, whatever with colours depending on their culture... thanks for that post, Wade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I get that too. And I think this newly discovered form of synaesthesia is really interesting: fabrics and feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't Get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads. As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up truck on a warm day was always a special Treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one Actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight. WHY? Because we were always outside, playing...that's why! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride Down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into The bushes a few times,we learned to solve the problem. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no Surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no Lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or Rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them. Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who Didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
