The Dino-Aspie Ex-Café (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)
All right, here you go.
Just be clear that these really are a loan. Where I come from, a man's feathers are a personal thing. He may loan them to someone else, but never ever give them away.
For the explanation, ask Mom. She knows. She knows everything.

You are about to enter THE TWIGHT ZONE!! ! Standing in line and waiting for the plane to take off will take 2 or three hours. But will feel like 6 days. The 12 hour flight - 6 months. Your time with your daughter - 6 eye blinks. So DON'T blink your eyes!! ! Keep them wiiiiide open!! ! When your daughter asks, "Mum what's wrong?" Stare at her with wild unblinking eyes and reply, "Nothing. Why do you ask?"
At the least, she'll call you and visit you more often to see how your eyes are doing.
Hope you two have a great time together!

Hang on, it gets worse. So naturally I tried to get tech support. That was set up to be so confusing and dismaying, that I was forced to decide to return the software for a refund. I figured if the company gets mysteriously inaccessible the minute you have a question, then they are not a good company. You may have guessed that none of my e-mails and phone calls have been responded to, for two days. I called my bank, and they have agreed to to file a dispute with the company, since I used my debit card. This means I get my money back, while the bank investigates. Unless the company responds to the bank, and makes them change their mind for some reason, as far as I can tell, I can keep my money. It was nearly 90.00 dollars. I also found a writers website that was strongly advising people Not to buy this software. If only I had looked there, first!
Ok, here's what we do. Lau writes a program that when downloaded, sucks the viewer of the computer screen down a black hole. You put Lau's program in your Screenplay Software Box, and return it to the company you bought it from. Address it to the CEO of the company, and include a letter that states:
"Would you please look at the disc I bought from you? It contains pictures of me naked! !! ! I'm not sure what happened, but when I put your disc into my computer, it mixed with my files, and now all my best award winning nudes are mixed with your program!?! Please take a look and see if you can figure out how this happened.
Signed,
Hot, bothered, and curious"

Thanks for the loan! I'm done, you can have them back now. Those were might fine big ones too!
(I used them in different clay models so I could get the angle of the feathers just right when making my own Mercury shoes. The mercury hasn't affected me at all).

To the First Nation's people, feathers in head dresses were highly revered and to steal one from another person was an act of defiance and disrespect. They were stolen from the warriors of other tribes that had been killed and then kept as prizes.
Feather head dresses

wow chuck !
you're an angel ! !
actually i might have a job, know it tomorrow, it's not a dreamjob though, just a simple job.
as a receptionist that replaces ill receptionists, so a few days here and a few days there, with the friday already for the next five months.
i like the fact that i won't have real collegues, no hassle with seeing each other on special occasions
thanks nannarob, for the laughing ![]()
I suppose Plywood would be a bit too basic. Still, it's free, and you can always improve it. What exactly does screenplay writing software need to do?
Now, if you were wanting to be doing cross stitch, I have Kxstitch installed, and it seems rather good.

Just wanted to say that I'm lurking, have a GREAT trip Nannorob, enjoy ALL the time you can w/ your daughter. Blessedmom, not SNOW allready, I'm too unmotivated to dig the studded tires out of storage. Just don't feel like it. Hows your van doing by the way. Nothing really to say, no bike riding, its raining blah,blah,blah..Oy yeah if anyone can think of an Acronym for the MPs here at Elemdorf and Ft. Rich it would be GREAT. (Please see thread under "Autism Discussion" it explains it more fully, I'm too lazy to type it all again also.) These parents NEED our help. One lady had Childrens Services called on her because the MPs knew NOTHING about autism, it's time for them to get wise.
And they need our help.

If only closed minds came with closed mouths. Lau: "But where would they put their feet?" Postpaleo: "Up their ass."
Yes, snow already!! And it hasn't stopped all day. And there is a ccoolldd North wind! I took the dogs for a walk and did I think to take my gloves and head band? NO! The van is parked until Thursday when I can get the new alternator put in. I picked it up and my father will put it in for me. He was a mechanic for many years and still enjoys doing the occasional job. This is where the Aspie in him shows itself. You tell him something mechanical is broken and he gets SSOOOO excited.
I was reading a book that I have on Asperger's and teens and there is a whole chapter devoted to teaching a child how to deal with police and how to talk to the police about your child.
