Yep, according to Autodesk, I had to get it to download AutoCAD. Haven't noticed any serious problems with is since I used it for all of about an hour, but wasn't really especially pleased with it or anything. Think I'll stick to my good ol' fashioned Internet Explorer 7...haven't even upgraded to 8 yet. Does sticking with the old programs and things that always worked for me in the past mean I'm getting old?

I can ride a bicycle and/or mass transit most places in Atlanta so I get by for about 4-6 weeks between fill-ups in my Maxima.

...so how long does it last you? ...assuming we can afford to fill up our cars at $4/gallon...

Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shot gun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

Books, DVDs and video games are things that never seem to come back no matter who you loan them to, how good a friend they are, or how long the loan term is presumed to be. Seems I could loan people just about anything and get it back, but if it's a book, DVD, or video game, if I can't afford to give it away, I don't loan it out. Sorry for your loss.

A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking the report called the phone and told the guy that answered that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.

SPOKANE, Wash. - A 34-year-old man was arrested Sunday after returning to a store looking for a bag of methamphetamine he dropped.

Police were called to the Ziggy's home improvement store in the 4000 block of N. Market after employees at the store reported finding drugs.

Shortly after an employee found the drugs near a checkout stand, 34-year-old C. Wilson came into the store searching for an item he lost by the same stand. Wilson did not find what he was looking for but did leave his name and phone number with employees.

Store employees were suspicious and decided to check surveillance video. Video clearly showed Wilson dropping the drugs by the counter just minutes before it was found. Employees then called the Spokane Police. An officer arrived and tested the drugs, which came back positive for methamphetamine.

Officers used the information Wilson left to track him down at his house where they informed him he was under arrest for Possession of a Controlled Substance.

Here's one I found in Reader's Digest to get things going:

A gunman entered and Aurora, Indiana convenience store and demanded all the money from the cash register. He then tied up the cashier and fled. That's when he realized he forgot something - the money. he tried running back in, but by then, the door had automatically locked, with the bag of loot sitting tantalizingly on the safe.

Some people have too much time on their hands at work. But I gotta give props to those who use it constructively, creatively, or artistically like that. Good video.

Two arms, two legs, two eyes, torso, lungs, brain, stomach, all fingers and toes accounted for, etc....yep, I'm complete.

Oh god! My cover's been blown! ...I mean...um...EZ who? Um...oh yeah...I saw him before...good lookin' guy...I just stole his pictures. Shhhh...be cool...if the authorities ask, you haven't seen me.



If that's the case, then what's the first part that we don't have to type in? It's like _________ (and) mingle too. So...what fills in the blank? And why is the 2 in superscript, making it look like "mingle squared"? Is it because "lookforadateandmingletoo.com" is too much to put in the address bar? Ah, forget it, I like the site either way.

Well, you struck my curiosity as well and I had to try it.

Typing 'mingle1.com' in the address bar brought up what looks like an adult dating advice website called luv TV.

And 'mingle.com' brought up a link page to various other dating sites.

So I reckon there is no Mingle1. But Mingle2 has apparently set the standard for the word 'Mingle' to make the internet associate it with dating.

Yeah, that's what they gave me as my take home pain killer when I crashed my motorcycle. But the morphine they gave me at the hospital was even better.

Well, I guess it's over now...actually about an hour ago...unless they're still celebrating in California or something. Yeah right. Thank you all for your birthday blessings and I wish you well. Now time to start wishing Phuque her happy birthday.

The very best part of my birthday! I love you

I didn't forget either. Happy Birthday Phuque.

Geez! Why do some people have to go start a thread and then apparently have no interest in it so they never write back in it? How rude. I mean, the least they could do is come back into the thread and tell us they're not intereswted in it anymore so that we don't have to waste our time replying to somebody who's not interested.

Perhaps there should be a Minglers Anonymous thread...but wait...then we'd still have to mingle for support...and there'd be a certain lack of anonymity.
