Huh... Anyone have any gypsum?

I will check.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Heh heh heh. I just set up Notepad to be like the Quick Reply typing box.

Now I can write stuff and follow the same rules I do on here, without having to constantly paste stuff into said box. =P

[MsRowdyRedhead]

Very Clever

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Though it's annoying when I paste it here...

It breaks it

like it's

like this.

[MsRowdyRedhead]

That's unfortunate.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I just delete them all, but it is annoying. =P

How did you do that?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Set the text to Verdana; and then I shrunk the window of Notepad to the size of the Quick Reply box. Works very well. =D

[Legodac]

Hey Plotkin, Hey R8, how's it goin" guys?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

So, let's do this. Let's go. Allons y!

... Do what, you ask? I dunno; make sure activity rises is one of the big things on my list, though. =P

This topic needs a bit of life. You could almost say... it needs a doctor.



There we go.

And in other news I'M CYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAN

[Magical Girl Mimi]

It definitely does need a Doctor. =D Watched Rose all the way through today, was pretty good. Given that I've only seen like 10 minutes of Series 1 combined before today... =P

[Trijhak]

Definitely watch the series one episodes Dalek, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances. They are the best of the first series.

(Does Canada have Series 6 yet? The Almost People airs today for those of us where I am.)

[Magical Girl Mimi]

1. I'm definitely planning on watching those ones when I can; hopefully soon. =)

2. Yep; we get it the same day, so The Almost People airs tonight. Missed a quarter or so of the last episode due to losing track of time. =/ But I've got the idea of it. =P

[Trijhak]

Two Doctors, one ganger, one original.

And then the MID-SERIES FINALE!

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yep. This should be very interesting.

'Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?'
'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,' I informed him
'All the food was slow.' 
'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?'
'It was a place called 'at home,'' I explained !
'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the kitchen table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.'

 

By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table.
But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it :

 
Some parents NEVER owned their own house, never wore Levis , never set foot on a golf course, never traveled out of the country or had a credit card.
In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears & Roebuck.
Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died.

My parents never drove me to soccer practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow)
We didn't have a television in our house until I was 13.
It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a..m. And there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people.

I was 16 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.'
When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had..

I never had a telephone in my room.
The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.
Pizzas were not delivered to our home, but milk was.
All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers -- my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which he got to keep 2 cents. He had to get up at 6AM every morning
On Saturday , he had to collect the 42 cents from his customers. His favorite customers were the ones who gave him 50 cents and told him to keep the change. His least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day.
Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.


Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

[Legodac]

Times change my friends, that was awesome by the way, it truly made me smile reading those familiar words, did your dad ever make you you stand in the corner?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Someone really needs to tell Bink that the Hero Factory site is shifted too far to the right on 1024 x 768 screens. =P

An easy Sunday, my favourite day, the ever lasting day of rest...I've put away all my bricks to be assembled on another day, which will make my wife happy when she comes home after getting her daily ice cap and picking up dog food. My little electrical job is complete, and now I have the rest to myself, which I think I may spend with Y'all.

Just thought I'd give you a heads up
