How was your weekend? Do anything interesting, hear another singer?

Funny you should ask. I've been hearing voices of great singers recently. But sometimes they recite poetry, or just talk to me. I suspect it has something to do with how certain pundits spin the world. Maddening. LOL!

This weekend, however, we caught the movie, "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle." Could be the worst movie we've seen all year, and we've seen many. A major yuck! Really awful, without being classically bad like "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", "Terror in Tiny Town”, or "Plan Nine From Outer Space".

Save your money. Feign illness -- or go and experience illness first hand, by yourself. Especially recommended as an aid for bulimics. Don't listen to the critics. They were probably bought off with free hamburgers. I've taken two showers since and still feel unclean.

Hi Darks! Nice to see you.

[Darksheare]

Hi!
Been goofing with that flight sim still.
*chuckle*
I'm going to have to fork out for the full version sometime soon.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

LOL!

I saw "Saved" at the $1 show. It was a terrible investment in Hollyweird. Gave Hollyweird another opportunity to bash Christians. If it had been made by us for us, it would have had some good self-criticizing points, but the end would still have been BAD, VERY P.C. ending.

Here is a picture of Vaile Mansion. I wanted to post it Friday...

(WOOHOO!!!, I did it! I posted a picture!)

This is one of the local historical sites I toured while on vacation.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Hey, Jen, go to #62, I posted a picture!

[MeekOneGOP]

haha! "I feel good!" :^D

[Billie]

Love your poem, Bob, and the way you 'posted' it, Amy, with the colors of the puppy and kitten to match! Aren't they the sweetest little faces!

[OESY]

Thanks for the heads-up on "Saved". We had missed it, probably because we were wary. There are an amazing number of propaganda movies out there this (election) year.

[OESY]

BTW, I like your picture better. Congrats on finding and posting it!

[OESY]

I forgot my caption.

A lot of anger by the left. Backlash from the winnings of the right after they took their anger to the poles.

I tuned in to a radio station the other day that plays popular music for teens, 20's, and 30's (though I'm in my 40's, I sometimes listen to it.) They had ads on the radio to get people to register to vote via on-line, and get educated about the issues. I hope they really will look at our side of the issue.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I knew you could do it.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thanks, OESY! You find everything! Your picture is crisper, though the windows on the front are not visible.

How do you center a picture? (or anything else?)

[Billie]

Ooohhh, chocolate cake! Oooohhh, lemon bars! Either one! Since the cake is all gone, hope I'm not to late for a lemon bar or two or three. :)

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays today, PAL!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Oh, thank you, Billie.

Come on over, plenty of lemon bars left! Take a few, courtesy of Sara Lee and Sam's Club.

[OESY]

How do you center a picture?

Easy. Put < center> in front of the image source command. Use < /center> to cancel center, though a < P> will do the same. (Be sure to eliminate all blank spaces in the command which I had to insert to get it to display.)

HTML Sandbox--"center" command is 5th section down

Thank you for the vote of confidence. When I followed your instructions I was putting both numbers in for the size. I figured out on my own once in properties that I could copy by right clicking then got a menu to copy when I left clicked. When I left clicked today no menu came up so I copied and pasted the website then hand typed the remaining url of the photo.

OESY still finds better pictures.

This just in --

Lance Armstrong may be stripped of his 6th Tour de France title!

An article appeared the French newspaper Le Monde over the weekend stating that Armstrong may be stripped of his sixth Tour de France title. In a random check, three substances were found in Lance Armstrong's hotel that are banned by the French:

Toothpaste, Deodorant, and Soap.
