Oh, alright, I will practice my flirting with you if you promise to change the quote at the bottom of your posts. Very offensive to us wimmins, I'm afraid.
I'm sure you didn't mean it to be. Please?
Here's a nice, tall glass of sangria for you, to help make the heat more bearable. How do you like my new skirt? (twirling) It's pale aqua silk, cross-dyed so it looks blue one moment, green the next...
And darling, when did you say you are leaving for India?
Eva, poor dear. I will not outwardly flirt with you - but, you do look maavelous!! And, we must click ourselves to the very gothic and beautiful Palace Van Axel in Venice to enjoy our sangria. Wither's friends are there to take good care of us. Mmmm, I think I will have to keep an eye on you. LOL (BAG)
((big assed grin))
Wow, danon! How did you find that photo? Pictures like this always make me want to see inside the building...
Reminds me of Anne Rice books!
Now Eva, you know it's magic!
Really, I simply opened google and typed in Palace Van Axel
By the way - a bit of trivia. Google. Ever wonder where it came from? It's in the dictionary, a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The only scientific number larger is the googleplex, a 1 followed by 100 googles. If you're interested I can tell you how many type written googles in 12 point type with a single 'M' space between each will circle the earth at the equator. That's one of the advantages of being retired. LOL schon wieder (BAG)
Now the above is assuming the earth is a perfect circle - which it's not - and that it is static - which it's not - it actually is moving along plate lines and rises up to two feet in altitude each time the moon passes over. Very unstable!!
Not even taking into consideration the movement through space relative to the accepted center of the universe as we guess it - but that is another matter. The center of the universe is moving too! Be interesting to know relative to what!
Oh, my, Gautam -- we used to serve a Sangria punch at our Sunday afternoon parties after the beach at my home in Laguna Beach, California. I found more bodies sleeping around the perimeter of the house the next morning that they had to line up on my phone to call in sick.
Taking a short break from work in study. I've been burning the night oil. Sitll working ......still working.........
Soooooooooo Gautam, you have only
eyes for me.......yes, well that makes more sense.......in that case, I'll just have to let my hair down for a minute. If I had the time, I'd figure out how to scan this photo of me in my little black bikini, but this will have to wait. In the meantime, I'm going to settle in here by the empty fireplace and drink a glass of champagne before returning to work.
How is everybody tonight?
<putting feet up on giant ottoman and leaning back to hear the music.>
Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"
Everybody knows that you love me, baby.
Everybody knows that you really do.
Everybody knows that you've been faithful,
give or take a night or two.
Everybody knows you've been discret,
But there were so many people you just had to meet
without your clothes. And everybody knows.................
Oh good, a theme song for Gautam!
Where is everyone? Did we forget and leave them back on the beach at Waikiki? (dumping sand out of shoes...)
Yes, champagne would be lovely, Withers. (lowering voice)Pssst...please put a pot of coffee on for Lola. She may need it.
Eva, the signature line has been removed. My sincere apologies for any distress or offense I inadvertently caused. Do u still love me ??
Lola - a pic of u in a bikni !! I soooooooo live in hope and anticipation dahling....
And I absolutely love my theme song - I will send it to the only true love of my life, I am sure he will agree Tee Hee
Champagne ? Whatever happened to Sangria ??? Ahh well, if it is all gone (looks glaringly at Eva) Champagne will do - but make mine a bucks fizz Withers....these days, I am sort of losing the taste for champagne, unless it is Dom Perignon served in paper thin crystal flutes
GW - I can imagine the scene - it is repeated fairly often in my house - though I have no beach, but the fields at the back of my house do just as well
Am going to India on the 20th morning and I am so excited - and I am taking request for presents.....
Gautam, I don't think that anyone who knows you believes your signature line was meant to be offensive. Thanks for removing it, you are a charmer and not a harmer
Lola, You must tell us the make and model of your scanner. I am sure that between us we can guide you in copying the bikini ---- errr, your lovely self. (BAG)
When I get home, Danon, I'll look at it, but it's a complicated thing that is a copier, fax and scanner. And even though there's a button for scanning, when I press it nothing happens......making me realize I have to know how to do it or it needs to be hooked up to something it isn't hooked up to, or whatever, but the instruction booklet says not one word about the scanning function. Oh well, when I get time, I'll just take it to Kinkos. But that is an interesting question........scan to what? That's what I don't know. I think it's not hooked up to my computer or maybe there's a place for the disc or........hell if I know.
Withers, will you bring me two eggs, over medium and an english muffin?
Jeffers, would you be so kind and turn up the music a little louder? It's my break time for breakfast and I'm in love with Leonard. That husky, smoky voice.......all those dripping, masochistic lyrics, ah..... romance, delicious.......
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it's done
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it's real,
A thousand kisses deep.
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on boogie street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A thousand kisses deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A thousand kisses deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet
And then consented to be wrecked,
A thousand kisses deep.
I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed,
I'm back on boogie street.
I guess they won't exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A thousand kisses deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A thousand kisses deep.
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .
Lola -- I have one of those all-in-one machines, too. If nothing is happening on your monitor when you tell it to scan (are you trying Control Panel>Scanners>"your machine">etc...?), then maybe you haven't installed the scanning software? Okay, so much for my inept technical advice.
If you take it to Kinko's, just tell them to save it as a "jpg" and put it on a CD for you. Then when you get home, you can save it to your hard drive & upload it to A2K (or wherever) from there.
Now. Can anyone tell me how to get pictures from my hard drive onto A2K? In plain English, please?
Yes, Eva that is correct. I haven't installed the soft ware, or it's not installed on my computer but one of the others here at home. Sooooooooooo, it'll have to be Kinkos for me for now.
And yes, I too would like someone to explain to me how to do the picture thing from the hard drive. Hard drive...........sounds so interesting, and yet it's just about a computer. Too bad. Sigh.
Now for my lunch break..............Withers, so nice to have you back dear..........I have a sudden craving for Hank Williams........don't know why.
I know you tried your best to love me
You smiled when your heart told you to weep
You tried to pretend that you were happy
But last night I heard you crying in your sleep
You gave the best years of your life dear
And each precious vow you tried to keep
I love you so much I want you happy
But last nightI I heard you crying in your sleep
Your heart is yearning for an old love
With new love its useless to compete
It hurts me to know you are unhappy
But last night I heard you crying in your sleep
You know that you are free to go dear
And don't mind if I start to weep
I knowI I can never make you happy
Cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep
Ok Lola and Eva, this may turn into an all nighter.........
Withers!! Make the arrangements please. By the way, don't you ever sleep?? "But of course sir, in tiny itsie bitsie little bunches."
Lola, you reminded me of an updated version of Arte Johnson and Ruth Buzzi sitting on a park bench. Arte says to Ruth, "Hey - you wanna see my hard drive?" And she whacks him with her purse and he falls over.
Also, the way to get a picture from your hard drive to A2K is still a bit of a mystery for me also. I know that you have to upload the picture to a web address - then, right click on the picture, copy the URL, and paste it in the Post Reply 'IMG' space. BillW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BillW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell us the web address to upload our photos to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it a field of dreamboats, Gautam? Or leftover drunks?
I prefer Roederer Cristal over Dom Perignon but don't tell 007.
Withers, can you fix me a Godiva Chocolate Martini to go? I have to take the Wizardmobile into the shop for some muffler repair. Apparantly it's developed the sound of someone passing wind and I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
LW,
........or the right one...........giggle
Gee Whiz, it's dark in here. Did someoue turn off the lights? Oh well, candlelight is more romantic........
Just keep the baseball bats handy for any unwanted guest
Ok, ladies!!
Lola, you are already ready to upload your photos to a web site. Using your hotmail address to signin you just have to go to - groups.msn.com - create your own group - it's free for the 3MB one but they will try to sell a larger one. Then, upload a photo from your computer via the "add photo" button. After that, right click on the photo you want, hit properties, highlight the URL, right click on the highlighted part and left click copy - it must be a URL which ends in .jpg. Then in the Post Reply box at A2K click IMG - paste the URL into the space provided by clicking in the address space to get the cursor there, right click, select paste and you are good to go.
Eva, do all the above except if you don't already have a Dot Net Passport with msn you will have to sign up for one.
oh goody, I'll do it tomorrow.......tonight I'm already sleeping. Thanks Danon
