Green chicken - cool
I had a friend who used the phrase "nobody can eat 50 hardboiled eggs" all the time. It was great.
Dr. Strangelove is also one of my favorites. Have you seen "Being There"?
Definitely one of the cities I missed during my Italian travels - Venezia - dammit! I wanted to go there, but we didn't have the time. I know several people that visited Bali too - pre-bomb, of course
My dad served during Korea, but he never got called out. He read surveillance photographs from the airplanes that flew over designated areas. He loved his time in the airforce. My hub's ex mother-in-law's boyfriend did serve in Korea as a marine. Very proud man, as should you be.
I don't think we'll be able to be friends for a while.
What's your email? I know we emailed before... mine is talktorobyn@yahoo.com
re: your post on my site:
Windows has a built-in magnifier, but it's crap. Of course, it's pretty easy to find and crack really good magnifiers for Windows. When I was running Win on my laptop, I found a nice crack for ZoomText.
That being said, Linux (which I use at home) does not seem to do so well in the screen magnifiers department. There are some good screen readers for console mode, but once in a while I really need to use the GUI, at which point things become a bit more challenging. I'm working on editing styles for fluxbox, and have come up with the basics of a pretty nice style. The downside is that I haven't figured out how to change the size of the cursor yet.
BTW, I had a chance to watch the food channel the other day. It's nice - almost hypnotic.
Just wanted to mention that I blocked you again.
I'm glad you're loyal to your friend, but you should show more restraint. My friends aren't over at her site tellling her it's all her fault.
Great post. I am a regular visitor of your website and appreciate you taking the time to maintain the excellent site. I will be a regular visitor for a long time.
