Re: The Talk2 List MARRIED LIFE - Mary Ann unleashes! Look out!
I think couples need to have enough common intersts to be able to have fun and relate together, but they don't have to do everything that the other does. I highly doubt I'll ever be a football fan, and I highly doubt that Ryan would ever want to delve into beading like I have, and I'm totally OK with that. Still, he takes time to listen to me while I yack about what I'm doing or meow when a project just isn't saying hello to me like I want it to, without giving me a "Yeah, yeah, can we move on now?", and that in itself is precious to me. Football is a sport I just don't get, but I love to see him get excited about a game, and I've come to enjoy the sound of it in our house, whether I pay attention to the game or not. I might just sit in the living room and bead or do something else I'm doing while he's listening to the game in here, or just sit in the rocking chair and just shlog around, just so I can be with him some more. To me, unless a man or a woman was so caught up in pursuing a particular interest that they've forgotten to spend time cultivating their relationship with their spouse, I see no reason for one to require that, for example, if you're going to watch football, go watch it somewhere else, or that you should take on the other's hobbies instead. Common interest is very important, though, especially in big matters, like your spiritual walk, and the things that you feel are most necessary in a relationship. Otherwise, trying to combine both of your lives together is going to be a pain in the butt. And if you both don't learn to lovingly and respectfully ask for things you need or want from each other, you'll have a long, tiring road ahead of you. Update your CD collection.

Look out! I am really amazed at the type of responses I've seen come through since I posted this yesterday wow! It is interesting to watch people open up and share thoughts and feelings. I appreciate all of the comments and I'm glad it touched people somehow. Byron, you raise something that is interesting to me here. I am interested in what other people think, too. Ya see, I'm not expert in all this. I just observe and draw conclusions. And read about stuff. Heh. Byron, you talk about wanting someone to share in at least some of your interests. What I'm curious about (this is for anyone to comment on) is whether or not it matters which interests she shares in, based on the level of importance the interest holds for you. I'll paint a picture. I have this theory that men want to be with someone who shares in whatever interest is most important to them. So if a man is most interested in techy stuff, for example, he would most likely be more attracted to a woman who is into it as well. Wouldn't that seem most logical? After all, the word, "relationship" implies the ability to relate. If a woman does not share the same interest as her partner, wouldn't that also suggest an inability to relate? I asked this very question to a friend of mine and here is what he said. "She and I do things together that we both enjoy. It doesn't matter to me that she cannot relate to me in my top interests because there is a special feeling that comes from the time we spend, and just knowing that she is so good to me and that she truly cares for me. If I want to talk about things that she and I can't talk about, I just go talk to someone else. That fulfills me just fine." This seems hard for me to believe. If I were dating someone who is really into audio production and I wasn't, it would seem to me that regardless of whatever else we shared, he would most prefer to be with someone who is also into audio production. Suppose the girl was interested in learning more about the man's joys. She read up on it, asked questions, went to events with him on the subject so she could be a part of it, and even if she hadn't explored it on her own until he came along, she was willing to do so now, both for the sake of understanding his enjoyment, as well as to broaden her own horizons. Would this matter? Wouldn't her level of interest have

Hey, Patrick Perdue, you quit telling by brother-in-law lies.

The Talk2 List THE HORROR OF LURKING
I got this from another list, and though I don't have issues with so-called lurkers on a purely informational list like what I have, I couldn't help but laugh at this. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!! You haven't been LURKING in this group have you? OH DEAR!! Haven't you ever wondered why lurkers are seldom heard from again after they have been removed from a group for non-participation? I tell ya, the truth can be a scary SCARY thing!! Don't let this happen to you Read on to discover the horrors and dangers of being a lurker! Susan was found to be lurking in a group, she hadn't shared a thing for months and disregarded the notices from the group mods & owners. After she was removed from the group... The very same afternoon... She was walking down the sidewalk when her panties got in a bunch. As she struggled to free herself from the merciless wedgy she was enduring, the elastic waistband snapped causing her skivvies to fall down around her ankles! She wobbled a couple of steps and tripped over her underpants and fell face first into a fresh pile of elephant poo left behind from a passing traveling circus! The elephant poo acted like an oil slick sending Susan skidding out of control with her drawers flailing around her ankles until she plopped down an open manhole cover and was flushed out to sea never to be heard from again! Ron was once a lurker too. He was a mild mannered midget from New Guinea. He too ignored the notices of participation from the group owners & mods. After being booted from the group, he mysteriously went missing for years! Three years later, his shrunken head was found on a bobble head figurine at a trinket shop near the Mexican border! His head was then returned to his family with 20 Pesos and a bottle of Jose Cuervo! John was also a lurker who ignored the owners and mods. One day on his walk home from a long night at his job as the local bingo caller, he was assaulted by a troupe of angry nuns! They pelted him with bingo chips until he learned to share stats and email jokes with others online. To this day, John still has a nervous twitch and freaks out every time he hears an old woman shout "BINGO!" causing him to fall to the floor and cower in the fetal position under his desk! His therapist also states he has an unusual phobia to penguins now as a result! Fred too befell a similar fate as the rest for lurking in groups. He had belonged to a fantasy group but had not shared a thing with anyone in weeks and frequently neglected to answer his emails. After he was unsubbed from the group, he was sitting at his kitchen table grumbling to himself over a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. When suddenly his underpants were invaded and overtaken by leprechauns! The clever little gnomes magically made off with his "family jewels" and Fred then spent the rest of his days chasing rainbows in the hopes of one day recovering his long lost "Mr. Winky & the boys". He eventually went insane from an incurable case of phantom jock itch! Lastly, there is the story of Claudia. A simple and quiet secretary from Idaho who was very much concerned with her appearance. She could often be found sitting in front of her web cam using it to watch herself apply mascara and lip stick instead of snagging and sharing like a good group member ought to. After she found herself banned from her favorite group for neglecting to participate she became terribly distraught and developed severe abdominal pains! She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was rushed to a local hospital. Unfortunately the doctor's handwriting was so poor that the surgeon misread it and instead of removing her appendix, he formed a large penis on her face in place of her nose! She can now be found working as the aardvark woman in a popular freak show in Albania! We won't even discuss what happens when she sneezes! DON'T LET TRAGEDIES SUCH AS THIS BEFALL YOU!!! PARTICIPATE IN YOUR GROUPS!.. SHARE SHARE SHARE! *** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Did you miss a message?

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE! When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed! Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards! And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot. That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy.

But here's the thing. I remember having a microwave very early on in the 80s. It had one of those knobs on it. My dad also had those really old Tandy computers and a five-meg hard drive back in the way early 80s. I remember there was a light switch on the wall that lead down to the basement where my dad had his computer and that switch was connected to the power down there. Well my mommy raised me to always turn off the lights. So well, I did. Boy was he mad when all of a sudden, the power was just, uh, gone when he was working. When I was little, I had a stereo with a turntable, an eight track, and a cassette deck. And I could record on the eight tracks and I found this very amusing to record over stuff. We had these old Motorola phones where the part of it that found the channels would sit in the trunk of your car and you had to use these switches in the phone up front in order to find channels to use on whatever network thing it was. When you picked up the handset, you had to flip these switches up and down and wait to hear a voice say things like, "Detroit, Detroit, Detroit." I will have to ask my dad what that thing was called. We have video from when I was six, in 1981 and my dad tells me that the quality of the video from those old camcorders was really grainy back then. Amy and I were recently talking about how much we loved Saturday morning cartoons on ABC and USA. I remember when Nicalodion played cool stuff Like Pinwheel and Bell and Sebastian. God I loved those damn shows! That was back in the days of, "You Can't Do That on Television." Then, promptly at 8 PM, Nicolodian was off the air. I remember when Friday night prime time TV meant watching Benson and Webster! And Tuesday night prime time TV meant watching Happy Days and Three's Company. I remember calling the Joke of the Day 1 (976) numbers and at Christmas time, calling Santa every morning. I vaguely remember when calling the time meant calling something with GR, in it. I had one of those cool medal lunch boxes with the little medal ring thing you swung down over your stuff to keep it from moving. You can have some fun and go down old 80s memory lanes by visiting the following site. http://www.inthe80s.com/ And now, I will resume my transcription and pull out the few gray hairs that have shown themselves over the past few months.

It, was, a, pain! We had an Atari 2600, and while the graphics did blow from what I understand, it was cool because those things were totally easy to play if you couldn't see. Every Friday night in my house, my brother, step-brother, my parents, and I, would have our version of a sort of family game night, which involved a sort of tournament version of playing Atari.

Ah, boring manual frame advancement. I always thought those things were incredibly boring and a very large waste of space and energy. They had those combination projector/tape decks, and some of them had decent speakers, at least, to make up for their bulk and general boring nature, but there are much more efficient ways of doing that sort of thing. Of course, at the same time, we had laser disks. It was fun when the laser disk player decided to play all of the available audio tracks at once, which gives you simultaneous English and Spanish versions of the spoken/dialogue on most of those little-person school things. It was particularly cool when it was based on something that was very obviously in English, like the Apollo moon missions, and there were clips of the ground control, and of course the famous "one small step for man" thing, which they of course had to let through straight. They did have things quite synchronized, and because of the cool mono tv we had, and the way the tracks were done on the disk, all that stuff just went right out of phase and died, so you were left with some very odd residual things. That is, until the boring person figured out how to make the Spanish track go away... -- -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(336)698-4417 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aim: noaptiva This message originally sent in reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Saturday, October 20, 2007 at 1:32 PM EST.

I remember calling the Joke of the Day 1 (976) numbers and at Christmas time, calling Santa every morning. I vaguely remember when calling the time meant calling something with GR, in it. I had one of those cool medal lunch boxes with the little medal ring thing you swung down over your stuff to keep it from moving.

If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a letter .. with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win.

I had one little lone CD for the longest time. Yeah, same here. I bought my first CD player that I could call my own for $30 at a hamfest in early 1996. It was a single Sony component thing, and I liked it loads... until I broke it a few weeks after I bought it, that is. It made big obvious clicky noises when you did manual track changes, and the A/B repete function went clicky like a relay on the start and end-points. It had a remote by which you could program things, and a gap button that would insert a 1-second gap between tracks, which I thought was really pointless at the time, especially with gapless cd's, like Abby Road, which was left in that cd player by it's previous owner. I didn't know what it was officially called, so I just called it the "broke button". I then bought a crappy Admiral (AKA Emerson) 5-disc changer, which I still have, and which I'm pretty sure doesn't work anymore, for $89. Back then, that was a deal, except for the fact that it sucked. Oh well. By this time, I already had some of my own cd's, but I kept steeling Ryan's portable to play them, since I didn't have one up until that point. Until I broke it just after Christmas 1995, Ryan had this big ol' Sound Design portable thing from 1989 that took 8 AA batteries and had a neck strap, and had a two-hour battery life. You had to flip a stopper switch to keep the door from flying open as you moved, since the magnetic spindel on top was the only thing keeping it together. Absolutely no shock protection at all. It had a digital clock and a dedicated line out as well as headphone out though, so it was worth it for that I guess. Although, people that could read things told me that when I keyed up my 2-meter HT, the clock would go at about 10 times the normal rate.

So what do I do with the version already downloaded? On 4/16/2009 5:09 PM, Onj wrote: Hi. http://onj1.andrelouis.com/programs look there, for MirandaPreconfigured.exe. being portable, the exe is not an installer, but a self-extracting archive so you simply extract it, run it from wherever you wish, and set up the options. Upon first run, you will have to skip the import/export wizard by simply hitting escape, then entering the options with control shift o. This can of course be changed at a later date. Also, you wil, just once, have to click use classic mode with the Jaws cursor, because otherwise the new option layout is not accessible to you. Differences from the version found on the site are, from the top of my head: *created sounds for the most popular events, such as online, offline, incoming file transfer, file failed, weather alert *added message logging to files on a per contact basis, (see miranda\MsgExport for details) *allows auto-accept of files from your contacts, using a per contact directory scheme, such as miranda\received files\an...@andrelouis.com, assuming you were to receive a file from me for example *added weather plugin to give weather for your city and others you may choose *added the ability to announce online/offline contacts using SAPI through the speak.dll, must be configured by the user *added voice-chat capability to Miranda through the use of MirandaCOM, which allows other users with Miranda and said plugin to communicate, this being equivalent to Microsoft's voice-chat in Windos Live! That's all I can think of, probably others but that's a start. Download is just about 4 megabites.

Sounds don't usually talk to you unless you explicitly tell them to. I have no sounds that "hello" at me, because I personally find the concept rather offensive. Dumb question: have you actually assigned any events? There are none assigned by default, unless you're using a pre-packaged Miranda, like the one Andre has been passing around for the last couple of years. rainee wrote: I finally got Miranda set up on this computer. I figured it'd be less of a resource hog than Windows Live. Now if I can figure out how to get the sounds saying hello on it. And yes, my "enable sound events" is checked. Figured I'd let y'all know, since I was meowing at some of you about not being able to get my MSN to connect. And of course, it was something ridiculously simple. I told you I was technologically dense. *Smile* Did you miss a message? Well, don't. http://www.mail-archive.com/talk2%40andrelouis.com/ has it for you. Never miss a Talk2 message again.

Re: The Talk2 List CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLIND
I'm still laughing at that. I love it. I'm sending it to all my sighted buddies. Update your CD collection. Checkout http://www.raineemusic.com. Crazy 'bout beading?

They are very happy; what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve. They are also very affectionate because love is blind. They often ignore things by turning a blind eye to them. They may be ignorant because they are in the dark about things, but do not underestimate them; they've got it all taped. They are very friendly people and like to keep in touch. They also tend to have a real feeling for the world round about them though they may not be able always to see eye to eye with certain situations. They may also sometimes lose sight of certain facts but do not underestimate their vision. Despite being blind they can still look forward to something and see you next week. You may not always be able to make them see what you mean, but they still are able to have their own view. They are not blind to their own faults, nor to the faults of others. You can try putting the wool over their eyes, but you may find that very difficult. They are so good at what they do that they can do it with their eyes closed but if they try to burn the candle at both ends, they may burn their fingers. Their medium of writing is easily spotted, is not pointless, in fact there is very much point in using braille and it is outstanding. Blind people enjoy a social life. However, one must bear in mind that if you take someone on a date, it will always be a blind date. If they have too much alcohol they may get blind drunk. Be warned: their rage and fear will always be blind rage and blind fear. When walking down the street at a fast pace with a white object being tapped about, they could be called hurricanes. An uneven pavement can be a real stumbling block. Blind alleys will not be too much of a problem. They never walk with blinkers on but they walk by faith and not by sight. If you were to come across blind people from Venice they would probably be called Venetian blinds. They are not allowed to drive, but it might be possible, provided they stick to blind rises and go round blind corners. Blind spots would not present a problem for them and at night they will not be blinded by the lights of other vehicles. These are blind facts but I hope that no-one finds the subject too touching and do not be so blind as those that will not see. Perhaps all this has been an eye opener to someone. May we all not lose sight of the fact that we are living in the age of so-called enlightenment where visionary leadership is very important and where care must be taken not to be blinded by things that are unimportant. Hopefully all this has provided some light relief. author unknown! Andre P. Louis Uncopyright, free music, compositions, Web-hosting and the new look to the beyond Radio Network?

The Talk2 List Specific evidence that I really need help bad
There's a place on the web where you can do something similar to the mad libs that people used to do at school, where you choose particular words before you get to read the story, and themn those words fill in the blanks and you can come up with some really crazy stuff, as I have done. See below. Job Cover Letter I am qualified for this job because I'm charming. I got a college education at rockingham and I majored in hellos. I consider myself very complex because I'm a doob. I'll be working to support my wife and our three gur doobs. I'm looking for a job that pays between 2 and 500 dollars a year. I have experience using helloish waffles and a fwoof. I have a bad-for-you attitude that makes me good for no-helloing. I think these, among many other qualifications, make me the most grumpy candidate for this job.

Re: The Talk2 List Another crazy ad lib
Be sure to eat your host before saying "Yum, yum?" That's classic. Update your CD collection. Checkout http://www.raineemusic.com. Crazy 'bout beading? Try [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Lynn reaper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "talk2" Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2007 4:12 PM Subject: The Talk2 List Another crazy ad lib Hi all I really enjoyed reading that Ad Lib that Rainee sent in the other day. I love doing those myself, but it's even funnier reading someone else's. Here's perhaps the funniest one I've come up with. The thing with this one is that I found I was always putting in the same words, so I started doing themed ones. This one was themed on anything to do with food. Check out how it starts and ends. It wasn't planned, it just worked out that way: Party On When invited to a party at a cabbage's house, you should always bring a biscuit. This will make you seem especially delicious, and may even get you some baked beans. Don't talk too greedily, and don't ever sit on the plumb pudding. Don't dance too tastily, and don't cook anything that's in the potato. At the end of the party, be sure to eat your host before saying yum yum! and driving home. For anyone who wants to have a go at creating a silly story, but doesn't know the link, just try this: http://www.sundhagen.com/babbooks/adlib.cgi Have fun! Lynn Did you miss a message?
