Lol.

As Random thoughts have already 100 pages we can start part four, question is - who will do it ;)

 

[zoki85]

She is goood :)

I spent half an hour today trying to figure out what the hell that was.
All the googling in the world would not give me the answer.

ps. I got a new trophy today. After 7 years, I finally looked at the "Forum Rules".

 

[zoobyshoe]

I was invited to participate in a group art show at a cafe today. All the artists showed up and hung their stuff, but hardly any customers came. So, we all sat at a big table and started sketching. This turned out to be more fun than selling art.

So this is what you get when you start a new thread? oo)

Yeah. :( I can see it helping some people if they forget who the OP is in a long homework thread or maybe some other important discussions where they need to know who started the thread without clicking on the first post to check, but in the lounge, it's not really needed. I mean, who jumps into the end of a long thread on a single topic about something important without checking out the OP and reading at least some of the posts first? (ok, a lot of people)

 

[RonL]

Yeah. :(

Just get over it...you look fantastic in burnt orange:w:D

It just bothers me every time I see it on someone's avatar, I'm sure I will get over it in a year or two. :)

The only one that has had an affect on me is Monique's avatar, she has such a beautiful eye, (I just accept the thought that it is her real eye) the banner is just too close to the blue.
As for the banner, it is so much help, maybe something as simple as a big star.:)

I guess you didn't notice that her previous avatar had a green eye with green eye shadow surrounding it.

 

[RonL]

No, I guess that was during my hiatus from PF:)

PS. I'm the true definition of a hopeless romantic, Monique from Europe, Evo, how can I imagine anything less than absolute beauty ? :) but then beauty is so much more than what the eye beholds.

Ah, I see now. I thought that it was permanent for all pages like some sort of Thread Starter badge. Thankfully, it's just for that thread. Our avatars are getting more and more crowded with green online status, post counts and now this covering them.

 

[Evo]

Instead of the orange headband, I'd like to "glow" or maybe have a sparkler. Or maybe a wig like Borek's..YEAH, I want a Borek wig!

 

[zoki85]

Seems like Evo's ready for a brand new start.:D
27 000 posts? Meh, who cares:p

 

[Borek]

YEAH, I want a Borek wig!

 

[Evo]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Everyone has to admit the wig is much better than the bandana.

spell check keeps trying to change bandana to banana

I think it's photoshopped. Though, I'm pretty sure it's her eye. We're friends on FB.

Though, when I wear my blue PF t-shirt, people tend to avoid me. I think hazel eyes reflect what you are wearing.
Blue eyes are just too intimidatingly sexy.

She also shares some of the most incredible videos in the world.

OmCheeto; You win my "Best FB Share Award of the Decade", with that. ps. It only took 4 hours to download. Fortunately, I had many other things going on today while waiting. pps. Don't be afraid to share more of these videos.

ps. Tom Mattson and Cyrus are doing well. And Moonbear should be landing in Honolulu about now. She's starting a long overdue vacation.
pps. Scratch that. She landed in Honolulu 29 minutes ago. 82°F.
ppps. I do believe that it is "I hate Moonbear week".

Thanks Om,
I might just be infatuated with the reflection of the little white puppy dog at the bottom of the blue:) ?
My computer is very slow to play the link, I'll get to it later.

As I posted, it took 4 hours to download that one. Her second one took 6 hours.
You simply have to learn how to adapt to such adversities.
I just clicked on the links, then mowed the lawn, did some laundry, cooked some food, ate, washed the dishes, watched 10 minutes of video, then repeated.
It was quite worth it though.
Oh, this is a funny coincidence. He spent 28 years at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I almost went there last month.

 

[Danger]

I haven't been following this thread because once you get behind there's no point in trying to catch up, so I won't even know if anyone responds to this unless I'm either quoted or "liked" for it and get an alert.
Something just happened that raised a question. If you do something really stupid and nobody ever knows about it, can you be embarrassed or merely regretful? The dictionary definition of embarrassment doesn't actually make that distinction, although it does say that to embarrass is for one person to make another feel that emotion. It makes no mention of one imparting it upon oneself.

Thanks Om, for the good information in the last post;) you are a good friend to have:).
Will you go EE when you enroll ?

I thought it was a halo.

I wasn't planning on enrolling. There was a science fair. Greg, Anna, dlgoff, and Greg's Mom were there! Probably a good thing I didn't go. I would have hugged them all to death.

Anyways, two things:
a. I'm too old for university. (I think my brain was full by the time I was 18. Ever since then, I've had to push something out to put something new in.)
b. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_dropout_billionaires , so getting a degree would get in my way of becoming a trillionaire.

I'm not aware of anyone on PF that I know in person.
I have been trying to work up the nerve to take a 10 minute drive and attend a "brown bag lunch" with Steven Weinberg and the theory group at UT:) give them a real contrast of reality:D.

The idea of extending my education (formally) has dimmed a bit, think I'll just put it in the hands of PF:D

b. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_dropout_billionaires , so getting a degree would get in my way of becoming a trillionaire.

I dropped out during the second year of my Computing Science course at Imperial College London in 1975, mainly because I was fed up with a lack of access to computing! I'd previously worked for IBM for several months a pre-university student, with a "green screen" on my desk, so I was used to sub-second mainframe access. (It's amazing how much I have to put up with which is nowhere near that fast 40 years later).

I immediately got a job with a software house writing systems stuff for IBM mainframes (well, actually, the job offer came before I decided to drop out) and for some years I was admittedly doing a lot better than many of those who stayed on the course.

Some years later, after being rejected for a better job apparently for the lack of a degree, I decided to work for one through the UK Open University (and eventually got first class honours in Physics and Maths) but by the time I finished it, IBM had already signed me up as an experienced programmer, and I've been stuck there ever since, with them gradually pulling the rug from under their loyal employees.
