Oooops...that was to you..
I may need refreshment now. I think I'm having a sugar attack...
(not that I stole many cookies, lol)
Is that grounded on Mt Ararat or really seaworthy. Ok, I see it is floating.
I will use the vessel you have provided to make my getaway.
Bye everyone
Yes, it was causing a page load delay in FR, even for my cable connection....so I thought removing the pic from my server's site would be best (my small act of kindness, to those who may have dial-up, lol :).
just had lunch with my boss....cheese raviolis and fresh green salad with blue cheese dressing. Yum.
Now, we're back to the grind again....
See you later. : )
you got me there for a moment, I thought your new house had enough sky lites in it already... Over the pool and stuff... Then I remembered my computer science rendering algorithms and how to do rendering and lights in OpenGL, then I realized what kind of construction you meant ... Clever how this day and age has such abstract meanings for such concrete statements.
Been out at a coffee shop, new one, talking to the new owner about how difficult it is after the money is spent to build and open the place, before the clientelle is established.
Anyway, My daughter is on a cruise to Cozumel, Jamaica and Cayman Islands, says she's bringing me back a few thousand dollars worth of old coins, says I'll love them... Came from an old shipwreck...
Kids, Gotta love them.
Much ado about nothin' if you ask me.

A posh Jersey Shore eatery, under fire for referring to a pair of diners as a "Jew Couple" on their check, is in hot water again.
Longtime customer Joanne Fordyce said she was outraged when she noticed that her check from Parkhill's Waterfront Grill in Loch Arbour printed, just below her table number, "Dirty Joanne."
"They're real nice to your face and then they let you know how they really feel when you get the check," said an outraged Fordyce, a human-resources director.
She said she was so shocked, she held onto her July 15, 2004, receipt for a year.
Fordyce said she bought $9 worth of cocktails at the bar, and added a generous $5 tip.
Later, she noticed the "Dirty" insult.
"How nice could I be? I felt like an ass after that," she said.
"I was going to let it go, but now I see they are still doing it.
"This is definitely not the normal practice if you want to stay in business. I know there are plenty of my friends that have had bad experiences there. That's why they don't go anymore."
She said that in her case, it was a female bartender who wrote up the check.
"I don't know, maybe the bartender is jealous because we drive a Mercedes. But they don't have to be jealous any longer. We just don't want to go there and be treated like this," she said angrily.
Fordyce, 34, said she decided to come forward after reading about diner Elliot Stein's shocking experience at Parkhill's, in Wednesday's Post.
In that July 8 incident, Stein's check referred to the 23-year-old Brooklyn shoe buyer and his girlfriend, Jennifer Cassin, as "Jew Couple."
"This is still going on? It's amazing," Fordyce said in disbelief.
She said she had a similar experience to Stein's when she went to complain to the same manager, Malia Wells, and received the cold shoulder.
"I was blown off like it didn't matter," said Fordyce, who lives in the area. "There was no apology."
Fordyce, who had been a Parkhill patron for seven years, said she once spent $3,000 on a baby shower at the eatery.
Fordyce yesterday filed a complaint with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights.
Ahhh you got it. 3D modeling with open GL. Right on, lol.
Hope your daughter has had good weather on the cruise. It's an iffy time of year for one. Those were my old stomping grounds and loved all those places. I think I'd by-pass Jamaica again tho.;) Although I sure did love those...was it Dun's River Falls? I thought I died and went to heaven there. Hated to leave.
Good luck on those coins.
Baaad nics.......
It is a hike up to Dun's River Falls she did. Said it reminded her of Costa Rica, she spent a week there. Know what? She freep-mails me with everything, bless her heart.
The cruise ship charges a doller a minute to use the internet cafe on board, can you imagine the business they would get if they did cruises with free internet cafes? It would pick up a whole new class of passengers -- people who could care less where they are so long as they are connected to the internet.
Anyway -- Gotta go, love your pictures -- specially the ship sailing away. Thought it would be cute if it had old gold coins for ballast.
Palm Pilot you can connect for about $10 mo. and be on line any where!
It it wireless..
good lunch
good nics.
: )
: (
OTOH, sl.........maybe this is God's "humorous" way of telling you that you need to take off two days from work and have a REAL weekend! : )
Well, some wouldn't agree with you.....some might even say, He's the Master and Inventor of RED TAPE! : )
God keeps things pretty simple. It takes humans to really screw things up.
That's true....I was just saying *some* people....you and I, of course, are not included with *some*....you and I, however, may be included with srewing some things up, lol. : )
