Look at the image below,is the figure rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Most apparently see her rotating counter-clockwise,which apparently means they're more left-brain.

I see her clockwise,which apparently means I'm more right-brained. (Im right handed)

A friend of mine who is ambidextris sees the image change directions...... VERY INTERESTING!!

Note: The image could potentally be NWS,the figure is a silhouetted woman,nothing explicit,but figured i would let you all know.

http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5693171,00.gif

i think it crosses over, if you're right-brained, youre left handed and vice versa.

I see clock-wise.  Right-handed as well.

I see her going clockwise as well.  I'm right handed.

I guess I'm the first to see her going Counter-clockwise. I'm right handed, though.

You might not after seeing this! (26 Mins)

Im not surprised by anything i saw on that vid!!

She's going clockwise for me (I'm also right-handed).

clockwise & I'm a righty

i think it crosses over, if you're right-brained, youre left handed and vice versa.


That's true.

I see her counterclockwise, which means I'm more left-brained.

The left-brain is based on linear and organization.

And the left side of the brain controls the right side of your body, and vice versa.

Whether you're more right or left brained just means you're more or less creative or logical.

This link ^ actually provides some information, rather than just the 'gif' / image seen in the link provided by 'Dude111'.

Well, Em reckons in the feedback (link above) ^ that it is not a trick. In spite of his mate's computer backround info .. I remain scepitical. Even if it's not a hoax ... can we sure it measures right/brain functioning accurately?

I watched it for a while. For around a minute, I saw it going clockwise (same direction as my watch, looking at it/ the screen) .... i.e., which is not what I expected. I'm right handed, and when psychogists have run tests on me before, my best skill by a long way was verbal .. which is left brain/ logical thinking.. I regard myself as logical, and my logical processes have often been good at helping me win trivias / fault find on electronic equipment in the past.

However ... I'm a bit of a lateral thinker ... as evidenced on this board / also at trivias. Visually though, I suck ... I struggle to see pictures in my head.

I find myself agreeing much more frequently with the 'left sided brain' of the table (see link).

I see the image switch after a minute or less to revolve anti-clockwise ... and then take turns going back and forth....

So ... it IS possible I'm a bit of both ... but I certainly would have expected a dominance of 'anti-clockwise' / left brain / logical side .. in my case.

As for the right hand ... that was out of action for a couple of weeks earlier this year, following a bad cut to my fingers. Had to develop my left hand to do all kinds of personal things that it wasn't good at, like in those bathroom breaks ... and then those other practices !  :o .

Yes, it's just NOT the same !  :P  :D

clockwise & I'm a righty


You're all 'a righty' by me, Mike !

By the way ... when I'm 'dead and gone' .. I will donate what's left of my brain to science .... so that, following analysis,  they can hopefully make an android of me to make posts here ... should any of you miss me.  :\'(

:D  ;D

I scrolled down the page, and when I came back, she was going the opposite direction.

XD I'm ambidextrous, but can't control it!

I guess I'm the first to see her going Counter-clockwise. I'm right handed, though.
I also see her counter-clockwise and am a right handed. 

This is odd, the first time I clicked I saw counter clockwise,  I clicked in again and it was clockwise  and appears to remain that way now.  I am right handed  ???

I haven't clicked on this particular link but it sounds the same as something I checked the other day on a science forum.

When i looked first it was going clockwise, then I read the stuff at the side and it switched to going anti-clockwise.  Now I can change the direction almost at will by 'making' the leg switch from coming towards me to going away from me.

Clockwise for me, and I'm right-handed...

I too have reclicked the link to find her going in the opposite direction than when I first looked, leading me to believe this chick swings both ways  ;) it just depends when you're clicking on the link

Clock-wise and I'm a lefty.

This is odd, the first time I clicked I saw counter clockwise,  I clicked in again and it was clockwise  and appears to remain that way now.  I am right handed  ???


Same here, I just checked it again, and now it is clearly going clockwise. Before it was very obvious to me it was going counter-clockwise. I wonder if it changes at some point - this is very strange  :-\\

It is built with elements that suggest it's going either way. It's up to your brain to decide which way it goes. If you leave and then look at it again, your brain my reinterpret it.

Ahhh, okay. So, what does this say about my brain - that I can see it two different ways?

Right-Brain.

To create an app path,so you can run an application from the Run dialog box you need to:

1. Run regedit and go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

2. Create a new key with whatever you want to use as your run command 

IE: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\whatever.exe

3. In the key folder that you created,create a new string,call it 'Path' and modify the value to point the specific folder of your executable your running.

IE: C:\ProgramFiles\whatever

4. Use the default string and modify it's value to point to the executable you want to run.


I didnt realize just how many "App paths" i had!!! (I suppose i could delete the ones i wont ever use (to clean the reg))

I can tell you my connection speed-SUPER SLOW!!!! I tried that link but it just took too long to download to find out how slow my connection is-so why bother wasting my time. I had a conversation with Carlos about this last night. I found out that we can get DSL WITHOUT going through Verizon-but going through Comcast. However the cost for DSL is about 4x as much as what we are paying now (we only pay $12 a months) and DSL will be close to $70. He said, "No!!! We don't need it that bad". But he is not the one who does all the downloads (i.e. updates,) or do uploads (our eBay pics to Photobucket) so he doesn't have to be patient like I do.


Ok, sorry. Rant is over.

I remember one time when i copied the answers to a test from the desk i was at (Someone wrote them all down) and when the teacher graded the test she asked me if i copied the answers from the desk,i got scared and said no....I should have been honest... I FAILED THE TEST and the teacher might have let me take it over! (Most of the answers were wrong)

The solution??

TRY NOT TO CHEAT ON THINGS........

Use it here!!

http://www.speaknspell.co.uk

I played a round and got 9/10 right :)

We have Speak&Spell when my son was young and we were rather worried it would teach our son to speak in an American accent.

Hehe i hear ya!

OMG...do I remember this? Most definitely! I had this one..and I also had the math one. I played with these things for hours at a time!!!

We had the maths one too, you could play maths games on it.

We had the maths one too, you could play maths games on it.



yes, it was a lot of fun. I think I might still have my Speak&Spell...somewhere in the attic. I'll have to look for it sometime.

On the Word version of Speak&Spell, there was a game similar to Hangman, we all used to play that all the time.

oh, that's right! I totally remember playing that game on there! :)

On just about every Latin test I had...I still couldn't pass them.  ;D

Hell yeah, I call it postemptive studying.

Once in Summer School, I cheated on a quiz, and I got caught (which shows you why I was in Summer School to begin with) ;D

That was the only time I ever really cheated on a quiz or a test

I remember Speak and Spell.  I never had one though, but I thought they were super cool

Ever watch those Johnny Carson tapes .. the clip from 1983 with Albert Brooks doing a ventriloquist act with a Speak and Spell with a face glued on the back of it ...

Albert:  So I hear you just got back from mexico
Speak and Spell: C

Albert: So I understand you've been having trouble hearing lately
Speak and Spell: A
Albert: I said you're having trouble hearing?
Speak and Spell: A

Albert: So I hear you got your girlfriend a gift.  What did you get her?
Speak and Spell: X-K-E
Albert: Oh a Jaguar.  That's a nice car.  So what did she give you?
Speak and Spell: V-D

;D

I never needed to worry about it.  I'd flunk and they would pass me so they can show how **** wonderful their school is. 

I tried not to but sometimes you must do it.

Speak And Spell was cool.I used to spell filthy words with it sometimes.  ;D

Use it here!!

I remember Speak and Spell... I played a round and it said spell anything  so I spelled ROOSTER (INCORRECT!)  ;D

Only on minor things at high school. Never beyond that.

In high school, my government teacher stepped out of the classroom for a few minutes during a test. While he was gone we were all comparing and changing our answers on the test.

Oh yes, yes, yes, I remember Speak & Spell; I also had Speak & Read and Speak & Math. I loved it! I wish I still had mine; it would be nice if they were still around today.

~Have you ever cheated on a test/exam?~

I once took Goldenseal and lots of water before a standard drug test. I passed with flying colors... 'course, that's because I was on some good acid...

Joke aside, I've only cheated on one test... unless you count Cliff Notes as cheating.

Literally when I was about three years old, my Speak and Spell taught me to read. Considering my doctors told my parents that I may not have ever been able to.. I owe a considerable amount of my education to owning one of these when I was small. I remember testing myself learning the alphabet forwards... then backwards!

For reasons related to my own shame, I shan't tell you which I learned first...!

I can honestly say--NO.  :)

Veni, vidi, vici...NOT!

Yeah, I've been there.
:D
I never cheated in Latin, but I did cram two semesters of it into an 8-week summer intensive and promptly forgot it all!

Classroom test cheating was not something I did.

However, I did plagiarize two important papers in college.  I needed to graduate and the clock was running out!  When I say plagiarism, I don't mean failing to cite a footnote or two, I mean outright stealing the whole damn thing!  One was for a PoliSci course for my minor, which was minor compared to what I did with my major, which was for an honors course called "Ethics in Journalism."  Haw haw haw! 
I stole them, gave myself credit, handed them in, passed the courses, got my degree, the single most unethical thing I ever did, not proud, end of story.
:-X

I used to procrastinate because I was stressed out, and the more I procrastinated the more stressed out I'd get.  My usual  scheme was pulling an all-nighter, turning in the work at the dead last minute, then dreading the grade...which more often than not turned out to be an A.  The times I cheated was when I had incompletes and was just too frazzled to make it happen the honest way.

Hehe i tried that too and it said "Incorrect" ;D

I've been clicking all of these for many months now.  I don't know if it works or not, but at least I can think I'm doing some good somewhere.

I don't see how just pushing a button could be doing anything.   It might be a lot more effective to pray.  Handouts do not give the same results as teaching people to make their lives better.  I support LifeWind    www.lifewind.org

I recently came across a catalog for the Heifer International organization http://www.heifer.org/# where you can buy a cow, sheep, pig, or some other animal for someone in a place where such things are needed.  I thought it was an unusual request for a donation and thought I'd pass it along here.

nope, no biting of the nails, but I will chew off any skin or cuticles that are sticking up

No,I use a nail-clipper.

Hehe i tried that too and it said "Incorrect" ;D



I spelt it wrong and it said Incorrect.

yes..I am notorious for doing this.

I used to when I was a kid.

nope, no biting of the nails, but I will chew off any skin or cuticles that are sticking up


I don't bite my nails but I'll bite or pick around my nails, especially if I'm nervous.

I selected the fourth option. And the answer is no.

I don't really find it vile, but I never chew them.

what about toe nails?

Nope! 

what about toe nails?


Now that's vile.

I've been a nail biter all my life.

  I think the cop could've took both of 'em...

I was having a hell of a time with world history!  my friend knew it so when I was absent on test day and then had to retake the test she met me in the bathroom before and gave me most of the answers.

The teacher knew I cheated b/c it was the only test I passed but she liked me... she gave me an F+ on a previous test cuz (I don't know it was softer than a regular old F)  then for some reason that test I "passed"  raised my grade in the class high enough I didn't have to repeat the course  ??? Maybe she was just scared she'd have to put up with me again...  ;D

I would try and sit near the front,then i could chat with the driver and all :)

I don't ride the bus anymore...but when I was in school...I always sat near the front.

Must of the time I walk instead of taking a bus, but when I do need one, I usual sit on the top deck.

Do you mean the school bus or a city bus?

School bus, front-ish.  Never liked the back, the tough kids rode back there.
City bus, where ever there was an empty seat.

On a city bus,It's nearly crowded so I rarely get a seat but if I did I'd sit towards the back.

I rode a school bus from 1991-1994 and didn't really care where I sat. I sometimes liked sitting kinda up front so I could hear the radio (the ones I rode on had actual music radios). This one guy used to play one of the rock stations. Another one tuned it to AC, but I had this one southern lady who played Country all the time, lol. Although if I just wanted to relax I'd go sit in the back.

When I ride the regular bus, it depends how busy it is. Sometimes I'll just sit right down if it's packed and I don't feel like cramming to find a seat. Or if I'm just getting off in a minute. If it's relatively empty and I'm on it for awhile, alot of the time I'll head for the back. I guess nothing has changed in that respect.

I don't ride the bus anymore...but when I was in school...I always sat near the front.


Ditto!

I sit wherever there is an available seat.  If I end up sitting at one of the front seats, I always get up if an elderly or disabled person needs to sit down

what a nice whistledog, you are!  :D ;D

Well, it's been a while since I've taken a bus.

Last time I took a bus anywhere in the U.S was to a mall in New Jersey and I sat at the back. When I rode the school bus I sat upstairs at the back 'cus I was tres cool.

When I ride the train now I tend to sit or stand near the front because some of the people I know that take the same train seem to get on those carriages.

The back, because that's all the cool kids sat. I'd be a nerd if I sat in front. Same goes for class and all that...oh, and another benefit is your head doesn't become the target for paper planes, or spit balls or what not...nah, generally I sit on the middle right - which side of the bus is usually more important to me than whether its near the back or front. It's like with other things, I usually like going to the left or the right. Guess I'm a bit odd that way.

the last bus I rode was on the Las Vegas strip and I guess i would just grab whatever seat is available, but preferably a seat that has an empty one next to it if possible.  I was with my 2 friends and we tried to get seats together, and it seems that it was always in the back or close to the rear.

Centre-back. Door side. Near the exit door. Makes for a quick getaway when it's time to get off.

On a city bus,It's nearly crowded so I rarely get a seat but if I did I'd sit towards the back.
When traveling on a bus, I never stand up for if the bus makes a sudden jerk, the movement could jar my back again.

Centre-back. Door side. Near the exit door. Makes for a quick getaway when it's time to get off.



That's why it's easy to get off towards the back area.

I sit where the hell i feel like it,Rosa Parks is my hero 8)

I sit where the hell i feel like it,Rosa Parks is my hero 8)



hahaah...you're cute, Isabel! :)

On a regular bus, wherever there is a seat. Like whistledog, I will give it up if an elderly or disabled person gets on. When I was in school, I was usually in the back or on the floor. Overcrowding on buses was SO much fun. ::)

I rarely have witnessed overcrowding. But that's bacause I try not to take busses between 8am-9am and 3pm-6pm. And if I must, I'd rather leave a bit early and catch a bus that takes a longer route as it would have less people on it. Otherwise I bike (damn, I need a car!)

I sit where the hell i feel like it,Rosa Parks is my hero 8)


Short story, surprisingly funny considering where it was.

Southern Missouri - The KKK sponsored a strip of highway, it was quite a long part of the highway. People kept writing things on their sings like "Hang the N**gers" etc etc.
The state didn't like this.
The KKK said it wasn't their fault and they were just cleaning the strip of highway.
The state renamed it the Rosa Parks memorial highway.
The KKK didn't renew their sponsorship.

;D

School bus... the last seat in the back

Bus trips to Atlantic City...Last seat in the back

City bus...Any thats available, if the bus is empty or if it's open...The last seat in the back.

Notice a patern here; I trust no one, keep my back to the wall and my eyes open for danger.

That's why it's easy to get off towards the back area.


In some cities, people don't need to get a seat to get off ;D

The back, because that's all the cool kids sat. I'd be a nerd if I sat in front. Same goes for class and all that...oh, and another benefit is your head doesn't become the target for paper planes, or spit balls or what not...nah, generally I sit on the middle right - which side of the bus is usually more important to me than whether its near the back or front. It's like with other things, I usually like going to the left or the right. Guess I'm a bit odd that way.

Good points, you're right now that I think about it, lol. Guess I better head straight towards the back from now on. :D

I don't see too much of that on regular busses, but yeah, on the school busses, I do remember alot of the kids who kinda wanted to talk and be left alone by the driver went to sit in the back. Whenever anyone got in trouble, it wasn't for anything big. Then again, I never rode a bus past the time I was in Elementary school, so maybe it's a different story (although in 1992/'93 my bus did pick up some high schoolers along the route, but they were cool for the most part).

At least he knew some of the songs....

Please note, he even tried to copy Dean Martin's voice.

Wherever the hell I feel like it.And I don't care if one person to the left of me is yapping on his/her phone and the next person to the right of me is on his/her Ipod,It doesn't bother me one bit.I just sit there read my newspaper.

We have had this before and I did terrible back then.

When I was in secondary school, I acted out a drama in class where I was nervous about a job interview or something like that. I pretended to bite my nails to signify feeling nervous, but the truth is, I don't bite my nails because it's a filthy habit. I'd rather take care of my nails by cutting and filing them.

We have had this before and I did terrible back then.
I am still as bad as before.

I travelled on a London Bus today, and I automatically when upstairs.

On a school bus, if you ask me, the better seats were the ones in front, that way when you got to your stop, you'd be the first one off.  My motto was: "Why be in school longer than you have to be?".  The faster I got home, the more TV I could watch

I haven't been in a bus in a long time, but I usually just take whatever seat is available.

Since I don't have a car at the moment and ride the bus fairly regularly, I've actually come to like the sideways seats (with the back to the windows) as a change of pace. It's kinda cool to see the scenery passing by horizontally. ;)

Give this web site a go...I had alot of fun!

http://www.ultrasonic-ringtones.com

I only heard to 12Khz (And just barely heard 12)

I wonder if soundcards are able to reproduce a pitch that high correctly!

I could hear everything up to and including the 15.8kHz sample: it sounds quite a bit like a fluorescent ballast up close. Not really a pleasant tone...

For some odd reason I could also hear the 21.1kHz sample, if my speakers are capable of accurately reproducing it. I doubt it.

Edit: I just found this site: http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/hearingloss.html

My results were nearly identical: I could hear up to 16kHz, then nothing until the 21kHz sample.

I tried this with headphones, and got the same result as the computer speakers.

Re-edit: 21kHz sounds like the noise inside an aircraft at altitude. I wonder what frequency is generated by 737 jet engines at cruising speed?

Ant

I was able to hear them all, but to be honest, if I had any as a ringtone I would never hear any of them,
hell I barely hear my phone ring now and it plays Toccata and Fugue at it's loudest setting.  ;D

I can hear well at about 50ft high.

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled "Stop! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks.

The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in,he asked the burglar "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you." "Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Axe and Two 38's!" ;D

Edit: I just found this site: http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/hearingloss.htmlEXCELLENT SITE!!!!!

I could hear up to about 11,000Hz (And if i turn the speakers up ALL THE WAY i barely hear 12)

I have to agree, it's not all about Satan. Thor is always overlooked and he does so much good work. But 3 chords are not enough, that's hippie talk.. and you know that means instant expulsion from the dark inner circle.

do you know why i ended up being such a sissy band?

You've really lost your way.

We've both been so busy with our individual jobs.. and Mike's totally lost his coke fuelled plot.. that the brutality level has decreased.

I broke Jessica's foot! My brutality level is still sky high!

Your dog may not heard it, but half dozen other dogs were barking outside.


Philip?? You here in Texas?? How did you know?  ;D

I don't know why I did this because I don't get into metal. In fact, I have never even heard of half of these bands. But, I figured, what the hell. At least the #1 on my list is a band that I actually know-and like.

This isn't really a fair test, all the sounds above 18kHz aren't actually faithful to the actual sounds they would produce - a single continuous tone. The top note is audible, but isn't faithful to what it should sound like.

Most modern sources agree that the phenomenon known as presbycusis, natural declination of hearing as one passes the age of 20, extremely rapid declination of ability to hear sounds above even 13kHz past the age of 55, does not exist.

For example, the sounds you hear at the URL Jack gave, of frequencies above 19kHz are plagued with harmonics. Get yourself an oscilloscope and test yourself out - you'll have lots of fun destroying your hearing that way!

With my speakers at a normal level I can hear up to 17.7 though that one seems just barely there, 16.7 I can hear quite well and noticeable. When I crank up the speakers I can hear most cept the last one maybe.

I think a lot of it has to do with your sound card and speakers, as well.

After all, I have a Dell, and their sound cards are mediocre, at best.

Bottled water has no flavour and tastes like crapola!!!

I prefer tap water..

Funny Commercial

I haven't drank tap water in many years.  A few years ago, in a nearby town, the water got infected and killed a few people.  Ever since then, the only time I will drink tap water is if I am in a place where there is a water fountain.  Other than that, bottled or spring water all the way

Tap water here. Why people buy bottled water here is beyond me. When out and about, buy a cheap sports bottle then refill it again and again. That's what I do.

ONLY bottled for me..our tap water tastes like crap.

Mostly bottled water....I'm not too crazy about the tap water here.

we have some of the best tap water around with EBMUD, but we only drink bottled water in our house, & Lady Di prefers the spring water while I don't care if the bottled H2O is spring or purified, but we use tap water when making coffee & for heating water for tea with our Krups water kettle that heats up water really fast. http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0Je5xaYBDRH6McAAxKjzbkF/SIG=125ig7ulq/EXP=1194677784/**http%3A//www.beveragefactory.com/images/flf2-j4.jpg

Tap water for me, for you still get the taste of plastic from the bottle the water came from.

Some bottled water here is slightly purified tap water. I don't believe it can be called spring water unless it actually comes from a spring.

Tap water here is decent, but more importantly it doesn't cost $1.19 for 20oz.

Me too. All of those plastic bottles are harmful for the environment too, so limiting their use is a good idea.

Tap water, boiled in a kettle and added to a teabag in a cup.

Fun has been achieved!

All depends on what tap.  My water pipes are very old, I wouldn't trust them, but i have water filters on the pipes coming into the house so I will drink from my tap.  Children are exposed to dangerous levels of lead by drinking out of the tap, so all formulas were made with bottled  water.

ONLY bottled for me..our tap water tastes like crap.


So does ours!  :P

It all depends on the tap and/or the bottle. The best water I had was when I lived on top of a mountain. The water was great. Once in a while dirt would get into the pipes but it was "clean dirt"  :D ;D  -well, meaning soil-not chemicals, etc. The funny thing is, at the bottom of the mountain, there was a pipe with water coming out of it. I had seen many people stop and fill up jugs from that pipe-and I got the water from my tap. Yeah, I should have bottled it and sold it-but I didn't. Oh well. Now, my water isn't as good but it is ok-better than most places. I do filter it. I used to double filter it (a filter on the tap and then go through a Britta filter) but the filter on the tap broke and we haven't replaced it-YET!!!

It's like Old school again.

Bottled water is ok for me,I drink it all the time.

Tap water that has been purified through a filter on the 'fridge.

I don't mind tap water, it usually doesn't taste too bad except sometimes during the summer the water has a strong chlorine smell.

I always refill by bottle with water every day.

Very often I do.

Of course the bottle is rinsed out before refills?

OMG!  :o

Tap water is nasty, no offense. ;D I think if you're gonna drink that, at least run it through a filter first.

That said I've always really liked bottled water, ever since I got burnt out on sodas. I had so much from about 5 to 11 that I was like "geez think I'd rather try something else". Around 1994 I got really into Calistoga sparkling water as well as regular kinds of bottled stuff. Although I do have soda here and there, it's not a standard with me the way it was as a kid, lol.

I definately agree wth this.  I used to have one of those Brita Water Filter jugs, but I hated how long it took to filter the wayter, so I just started buying bottles of water.  I can usually get a case of 24 for around $2.99

He He!!

Ha Ha!!

I think tap water varies so much.  In England the water where we lived was nice to drink but one house we lived in youcouldn't drink it because the chlorine content was so high.  (Even though it was the same town).  The worst tap water I (didn't) drank was in a youth hostel near Durham.  It had a rusty appearance and tasted like blood (just from rinsing after teeth cleaning)  8-P

Here I usually drink tap water and will refill a bottle to take out during the day.

I think its pretty powerful;- especially the domestic violence portion.  This is something we all know but its different when you actually see it.

Good video.

Why not let her do it and get it lickidy clean :)

...but that is only cleaning the screen from the inside?

Yeah,Phil's right.What happened to the outside? ???

I can only speak for my screen, and here is is a bit dusty.

We usually have it at home :)

I will be working a 14 hour shift so I will probably be eating a turkey TV dinner at the radio console alone  :\'(

Don't feel too sorry for me tho- it'll be christmas so that means probably few 911 calls (as long as no one chokes on their dinner- knock wood) and maybe the burglars will stay away as well..... so I can bring my portable DVD player and some of you will be around to keep me entertained.
And I will bring my dog cuz I loves her....

At my home.  Hopefully someone will pick up my father-in-law and entertain him for a few hours.

In years past I had Christmas Eve dinner at my house but not anymore.  I figure since I take take of my father-in-law each and every day the least my sister-in-law could do is have people over to her house for Christmas.  I mean, since my FIL moved in 9 months ago she's only visited him twice and hasn't had him to her house at all. 

I'll be at home this year. My mother will help me cook, and have some friends over.

Usually we have it in California with my family, but sadly, Rice is going to have to do a ton of school stuff in December. So we're sticking around here.

Definitely not going to be the same. :\'(

I do Christmas for my family at my house in New York.

I'll probably be working Christmas .. if they offer me to work on Christmas Day, I'm taking it.  If not, I'll probably go to my Grandmothers.  She makes really good stuffing, and everytime I eat it, I always eat too much of it (cause it's so good) LOL

We are going to Dai's mum.  We've been there for the past few years.

Make sure people know you are expecting this to happen otherwise you could be disappointed.

Probably at my sister's, although it sucks that her kids won't be there (they'll be with their dad in TX).

probably at my parent's house. We usually go to my grandma's house on Christmas Eve night...and then on Christmas Day...my parents have dinner.

At home, of course. Don't care for restaurants on Christmas day. That's the place I do NOT want to be on Christmas day.  :o

Most likely at home.

Since we can't eat ham, though, and turkey is on for Thanksgiving, it will be interesting to see what we arrange this year!

I don't celebrate Christmas,I'm Jewish and most likely,I'll be working that day,who knows?  :(

for some reason..I thought you celebrated both. ???

the family gathering will be at one of Dianes Aunt/Uncle's home here in the Bay Area. if all show up, it should be about 50, not counting friends or additional distant relatives that may be invited. it's a marvelous get together with a wonderful assortment of food and a talent show, usually performed by anyone that wants to sing, play an instrument or perform a sketch. it's a fun tradition. and then presents only for the children that are under 18. this is the first year that Julie will not be on the that list :( but I'm sure those aunties and cousins will hook her up  ;)

Make sure people know you are expecting this to happen otherwise you could be disappointed.


I'm not expecting it to happen, I was just complaining.  ;D

I feel much better today, since we decided to head to Orlando the week before Christmas.  We won't be home until Christmas Eve, so now I don't need to worry about anyone else.  The 5 of us are going, we'll get home late on the 24th and get up early on the 25th, open presents and I'll cook a nice meal for us. 

Pretty good :)

I'm guessing yes but since it's a holiday they might be open.

I don't celebrate christmas,I'm Jewish so once in a while I observe the holidays.

We'll get over to my mom and dad's house on Friday the 21st after work.  Micah's b'day is the 23rd, so we'll celebrate it by going out Saturday night instead--still can't believe she will be 18!  :o

We'll stay through Christmas (no other relatives to visit) and come home on the 27th or 28th.  We used to stay through the New Year, but then they started going to FL right after Christmas.  They aren't leaving til the 3rd this year, but I have a dr appt and M has cheerleading practice during the vacation, so we'll go home before they leave this time.

At home with family and that has not happen for a very long time so i'm excited :)

Which means you expect 7 days of presents from Robin. ;D

  At Badfinger Fan's house...

A Roseville Christmas, sounds like a musical or something. sometimes, that's the only time we see certain family members, at Christmas or Thanksgiving so those traditions need to be maintained.

Damaged nails play havoc if you play classical guitar.

That is true, being nervous does not help, even if you do not bite your nails, you can easily pick at them with the other fingernails.

I'm always doing it. My nails look horrific.

I don't bite them just for the sake of biting them, but when I get a hang nail I usually bite it off.

Something that I'm not too sure everyone knows, but James Berrie gave the copyrights of Peter Pan to a children's hospital in the U.K. (Can't remember the name of it and I'm too lazy to look it up right now). So, whenever you purchase something with the Peter Pan name on it, it benefits children. Which I think is WONDERFUL!!! I know this because I wrote a children's book that uses the name "Tinkerbell" as a fairy and I wanted to see if I had to play royalties or anything. I received a nice email back that I would have to pay a small amount-but they didn't specify how small and I was told to contact them again when I got a book deal. I never did get a deal so I never contacted them again. But, I really don't have a problem paying the royalties to them since I know it is for a good cause, rather then going into the hot shots at Disney's pocket or something like that. Maybe it is time to try to get that sucker published. Oh, another thing that I found out, they were looking for an author to write a sequel.

The hospital is the Great Ormond Street Hospital.

If you recall there was a lot of garfuffel over Spielberg's Hook, he had to end paying money to G.O.S.H.

The first time I watched a sad movie with Carlos, I was trying not to let him see the tears coming down my face. When I looked over at him, he had more tears on his face than I did. That was when I realized that it was ok to cry during movies. In fact, he cries more than I do while watching movies.

I cry way more then I'd like to, especially at movies and when my hubby gets on a roll with his lecturing/"helping".

I've wanted to cry for 2 months now. I have been suffering through leg pain in both my legs and there are days I can barely walk. No one knows why, and its frustrating. Nothing takes the pain away, I've been sucking down supplements in order to find a right one to ease the pain.  But so far no luck. :-\\

Crying is alright for the right reasons., but, two years ago Sig made me cry for a stupid reason.  After I was done I called him and told him to make sure that that was the last time, because there wouldn't be a next time. There hasn't been a next time.

My crying has stopped now, for I have a much better mouse to operate with.

It's funny that you say this because I used to sit in the back of the bus but once I learned about Rosa I always sat in the front of the bus because I could I felt like I should honor that change in some way  :)


Short story, surprisingly funny considering where it was.

Southern Missouri - The KKK sponsored a strip of highway, it was quite a long part of the highway. People kept writing things on their sings like "Hang the N**gers" etc etc.
The state didn't like this.
The KKK said it wasn't their fault and they were just cleaning the strip of highway.
The state renamed it the Rosa Parks memorial highway.
The KKK didn't renew their sponsorship.

;D


Great story....thanks... I once saw a documentary about a guy trying to increase membership in the KKK fortunately he didn't get a lot of takers but sadly I suspect the camera crew attached to him might have been a bigger deterrent because no one signed up but I feel some people probably wanted to... anyway- the funny thing about this was the idiot actually quoted Dr MLK JR in his interview to prove his point...  ::)

For the record

n Montgomery, the first four rows of bus seats were reserved for white people. Buses had "colored" sections for black people—who made up more than 75% of the bus system's riders—generally in the rear of the bus. These sections were not fixed in size but were determined by the placement of a movable sign. Black people also could sit in the middle rows, until the white section was full. Then they had to move to seats in the rear, stand, or, if there was no room, leave the bus. Black people were not allowed to sit across the aisle from white people. The driver also could move the "colored" section sign, or remove it altogether. If white people were already sitting in the front, black people could board to pay the fare, but then had to disembark and reenter through the rear door. There were times when the bus departed before the black customers who had paid made it to the back entrance.


After a day at work at Montgomery Fair department store, Parks boarded the Cleveland Avenue bus at around 6 p.m., Thursday, December 1, 1955, in downtown Montgomery. She paid her fare and sat in an empty seat in the first row of back seats reserved for blacks in the "colored" section, which was near the middle of the bus and directly behind the ten seats reserved for white passengers.As the bus traveled along its regular route, all of the white-only seats in the bus filled up. The bus reached the third stop in front of the Empire Theater, and several white passengers boarded.

So, following standard practice, bus driver Blake noted that the front of the bus was filled with white passengers and there were two or three men standing, and thus moved the "colored" section sign behind Parks and demanded that four black people give up their seats in the middle section so that the white passengers could sit. So, following standard practice, bus driver Blake noted that the front of the bus was filled with white passengers and there were two or three men standing, and thus moved the "colored" section sign behind Parks and demanded that four black people give up their seats in the middle section so that the white passengers could sit.

“ People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, 
        although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

When Parks refused to give up her seat, a police officer arrested her. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, "Why do you push us around?" The officer's response as she remembered it was, "I don't know, but the law's the law, and you're under arrest." She later said, "I only knew that, as I was being arrested, that it was the very last time that I would ever ride in humiliation of this kind."

Parks was charged with a violation of Chapter 6, Section 11 segregation law of the Montgomery City code, even though she technically had not taken up a white-only seat—she had been in a colored section. E.D. Nixon and Clifford Durr bailed Parks out of jail the evening of December 1.

I edited some of the urelated details because it was quite long but the relavant  content is intact

I adore Rosa Parks. She's a true hero.

I actually had the honor of playing her in a school play in the fourth grade (even though I'm like whiter than white :D). We were studying the Civil Rights Movement. I have been fascinated with her ever since.

Whenever I am on a city bus, I always give up my seat to anyone who looks like they could use a sitdown.  I don't really need to sit when I am on a bus, so why should I use a seat that I don't really need

Remember that movie 'The Specialist' where Stallone beats the hell out of those punks who stole that old lady's seat?  I've often seen punks on buses steal an old persons seat just cause they can, and boy does it piss me off.  If I ever see it again, I'm cracking skulls

Off topic-I once heard a parody of Billy Ocean's Caribbean Queen called Fat Girl's in Jeans.

Girlfriend gives me headaches.  ;D


Boyfriends give their girls headaches as well.

judging from how you drive you should take the bus more often  ;)  ;D ;D ;D

I actually prefer taking a bus over a car, but with the hours I work, and where I work, the bus doesn't run so I either drive or I walk LOL
I've never driven in snowy conditions on my own before, so this winter will be a real challenge for me ;D

My headache from last night turned into an all day migraine. It sucked so much. Finally gone, though, just in time for work! Hurray  :P

I had a headache yesterday, so I just hit my thumb with a hammer.

Problem solved.

Today I sat on the top deck of the bus near the front, not many people today and a pleasant ride.

I've been standing,bus I take is massively overcrowded. :o

At the start of mu journey there were only around six people on the bus.

So it was empty?

My hardache has developed into a cold now.

So it was empty?
Very nearly empty, there was a bus abou five minutes before it, which I just missed.

The city bus I take used to be so crowded because it only ran every hour, but now one comes every 15 minutes, which is very handy

So it was empty?
...and again the Rush Hour had already finished.

Not tonight, Dear, I have a headache.

You mean heart ache?

...and again the Rush Hour had already finished.


what time is your rush hour?

You mean heart ache?
"Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game"

"Hits you when it's too late

Nothin But A HeartAche.

what time is your rush hour?
Original it used to 9am to 10am and 5pm to 6pm. Now that work hours are now staggered, on somedays it seems the rush hour lasts all day.

Rush Hour In New York is about closer to 6pm.

Gotta stick with the Alyssa/Apricot thread and Ghey/Gay argument.

There was another funny one (not sure if it had something to do with/led to the gay/ghey argument but seemed to be from about the same time) where Bobby and Paul and others ended up in an argument over scooby snacks or something like that...

and when Beth spent the night with poop pants...

and the April Fools day where we took over each others identities... and Erin posed as the infamous Robin. :)

zOMG!! I want to hear about Poop Pants!

Weren't you here for that??

Well for awhile Beth was possessed by about 126,422 guests... and they would follow her wherever she would go... so if she was viewing "I like to move it in MC Hammer's pants", all those guests were too... and if she went into the chatroom, so did all the guests.... there would be so many guests in the chatroom that it would mess up all our screens... well when that problem finally got fixed, Beth was in the chatroom along with one guest named Poop Pants... and when I got up and signed on the next morning, Beth and Poop Pants were still in the chatroom together... :o

I remember the guests, but not poop pants!

I've been coming here for about 2 and a half years, and have pretty much had fun and interesting discussions and friendships with people the whole time. But I think the best/happiest/coolest events have happened in the last couple months. :)

Whoa, you're Jewish!?

Whoa, you're Jewish!?


Yeah, technically halfway (since my dad is but my mom isn't). I'm proud of my heritage, but we've been pretty much secular in terms of celebrating it. Like, my dad's side of the family (who are more into it) go to Synagogue and such. I was never Bar Mitzfahed, although we did Chanukah one year. That was fun.

She posed as my girlfriend and I thought Robin was on. ;D



hahaaha...oh YA!! I nearly forgot all about that! I had you fooled, didn't I Howard? You thought that Robin had joined our happy bunch!  ;D

You should embrace your heritage and traditions....personally I think it is something that is so awesome. :)

I'm about a quarter Jewish, but yanno, I never really consider myself Jewish...

I remember the guests, but not poop pants!

Later referred to as "Poomaster", who I mistook for Howard at one point.

Y'know, the guitarist in our band is a Jewish boy from Joisey...

Same here. My dad is/was (well he claims to be an atheist who just joined the Society of Friends-Quakers. Try figuring that one out  ;) :D :D) and my mom is Episcopalian.  We celebrated both Hanukkah & Christmas, both Passover & Easter. People would come over and ask if us kids were confused. We weren't-everyone else was. We thought EVERYONE lit the candles on a menorah at the same time decorating a tree.  :D ;D ;D
