Where are you?  My father was stationed at Vandenberg in Ca. and we used to watch some type of shuttle go up and see it from our back yard.

I know where that is! But I have not been anywhere near there in almost a thousand days.

It's a neat base...windy though

That area is kinda windy; you're right.



I know where that is! But I have not been anywhere near there in almost a thousand days.

In fact, tomorrow it'll be a thousand days since I last passed through that area.

Yes, sorry, it went up last night at 7:43 pm, Eastern time.  Atlantis is scheduled to land on May 12 at KSC, and according to the NASA Shuttle Schedule, the next one up will be 3 days later on the 15th when Endeavor goes up. Hopefully we can drive over and see that one in person.




you taking pictures? ???

Yes, whenever I go over there I take a ton of pics.  I also took some great shots from when John Glenn went back up in '98.

I take pictures of everything.  ::) I'm the one who takes her camera everywhere she goes just in case there's a good shot to be had. I take it to the theme parks, the beach, the zoo, school events, parties, etc. I've taken some really good ones lately that I'd like to post in the photos threads, but no matter what I try, I can't get it to work.  It's probably for the best, you all would probably get sick of seeing pictures of mine all the time... http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/14/laughing11.gif

Probably the image is too large.

Somewhere there is a thread telling you how to post images.

Thanks!  I keep trying, sometimes I can't figure out how to resize some photos and some don't need it, but the whole copy and paste with the picture icon is just baffling me for some reason.  :-\\  It's ok, it's a mystery I vow to solve eventually.

If you are trying to post a picture that is stored on your hard drive you need to use the 'Additional Options...' option that appears below the reply box.  Click on Additonal Options and then you can attach the photo by clicking on Browse and then finding the photo on your hard drive.  It can only be 128kb in size.

There should be a resizing option.

I use my Photobucket account in posting my images.

I don't have a Photobucket account...yet. However I know that anyone can post images for free at Imageshack. (imageshack.us) In fact I've uploaded a few of my pics to that site in the past.

It was 1st February to be precise

I had a girl sitting on a mirrorball for a couple of months first up - and then I swapped that for what I have now  :)

Nice...

It was on 17 February of 2004 when I officially registered (this was of course on the old board, which had crashed 2 months later); and that old board didn't have a very exciting library of avatars to choose from as I recall. I had uploaded a custom pic, but I don't quite remember what it was.

As for the sig line, I used to have a different image before I found the dolphins. And at one time when the dolphins weren't showing up, I had used a seasonal image (Thanksgiving), but that didn't have the same feel to it because it wasn't animated. The dolphin pic was back up and running shortly afterwards, thankfully.

I wrote 2 so far this year and I'm working on one by the Ditty Bops (Walk or Ride), which, I hope, might go in this week.

It's been only 2 because it's been a year (since Jan.) since I wrote one and I'm kinda rusty.

For me, I noticed it on the night of the 31st. We all had some pretty wacky monikers! :D

I know that a couple of times in the past (such as 2005, for instance), they added certain words to the profanity filter, such as t-e-h.

I think the April Fools 2007 prank was the most "minor" one, where they added the month of April to the profanity filter and replaced it with J-u-v-e-m-b-e-r. They had to change it back. (As a result, I was not able to type that word correctly; I had to insert the hyphens in between.)

Similarly, in 2005, all that was done was the addition of t-e-h to the profanity filter. Chucky said he was going to "ban the (sic) next person who mentioned the (sic) secret word"...I'm sure we all knew what that word was.

This is off the April Fool's topic, but since it is Miscellaneous, Did anyone else watch the Retrospective and 2 hour series finale of E.R.?  I cried my eyes out!  :\'( I watched it from Day one through about season 8 or 9, then dropped off slowly as I got busier with my son and work, but last night was SO good.  :\'(

Not me, no. I have never watched it. But 15 years is a long time for a drama series to be on the air.

We have to wait for a month for the broadcast of that in the UK

It's definitely worth the wait if you've ever been interested in the show at all.  The retrospective show is a must see. And the 2 hr episode has quite a few nods to earlier episodes over the years. I'm really going to miss it.

you probably weren't around as regularly during that time, so you wouldn't know what t-e-h word might have been *hint hint*
