Morning Birds, and Soft Words.
First off, a quick little rally for the MyOtaku.Com founder. It seems Adam has been targeted by some identity thieves, and they managed to get a bit out of his name. We should all be ready to show him our support as he gets back on track.
Next up, I'll be taking a little bit of time off again, I want to get that artwork done, I really do, so I'll take a coupld days for now and see what comes of that.
I guess some people don't recognize their own potential. I don't have that problem myself I recognize my own ideas, I just seldom have the physical resources to see them out properly.
If I have trouble with them, I'll be talking to you first. My mom would love it if tomatoes took over our garden (though I wouldn't, I'd like the other plants to have a change, and the bathtub they're all in is kind of small).
There's a threshold I can't cross regarding some of those ideas not working, some details that have to be kept private because I promised, but I'm sure you know the saying: "The Devil is in the details".
There's a lame boat joke in here somewhere, but I'm just not in the mood to go there. I'll pass you the oars when I get tired. As for conventions, right now even looking for one that "might be" close enough for me to get to is a prospect that hurts to think about so I'm not even going to do that for a while.
Getting the CO2 into the bottle is the tricky part. I'd need a bottling machine so I could get the CO2 into them and cap them without losing pressure. As for the Patent and Tradmark Office, I have their website bookmarked.
Yeah, heat'll do that, but you'd notice a taste difference at room temperature, even the colors are different depending on the type of honey it is.
I deserved that.
Same here, though that one about the car going undrwater was scary. My two worst fears put together. Every time they rerun that one I can't watch it, once was enough for me. It's a unique concept to take urban legends and myths, and actually test the validity of them being able to happen in a scienctific way. They do it right by testing the facts, then duplicating the results if the facts don't lead to the results. I'd love the chance to meet them in person (not just see them though that would be cool too), but somehow, I think I'd either creep them out, or give at least one of them laughing fits because of my resemblance to Adam.
Edison not only had good idea for inventions, but he also had smart ideas in terms of logical thinking. I never give up on an idea when it's mine, or it's one that I can directly influence. I'm still on those ideas, I won't let them go, but some of the ideas I talked about are ones that involved myself, but weren't something I could play around with. I promised I'd not go into the details on those ideas, so that's all I can say.
When I'm hearing Creedence in my head, I know I'm really down about something. That's the only time I'll hear songs like that. I get a lot of Simon and Garfunkel in my head when I'm down too, but that Creedence one was the loudest. It's probably one of few English language songs I actually can sing on key, so pull up a mic, I'll take the chorus if you take the verse.
I'm not really in the frame of mind to challenge a quote with a quote this time. The things I fear would not seem so frightful to me if I were in better standing. Most of my fears in that regard deal with money, which isn't something that's easy for me to come by.
It needs some work, hopefully I'll be able to get it right with my next theory. Till I get it right, I'll ask if you've ever had sun tea. If not, you don't know what your'e missing, and Cali is probably a great place to brew it as any.
You can grow them in a pot on the back porch (or even inside near a sunny window) if vermin are a concern.
I explained in a comment on your site how to find the Narrator, but if you missed it, here's the steps again, wording is for Windows XP, but it's not hard to figure out in other OS versions:
Select the start menu
Hover the mouse over "All Programs"
Hover mouse on "Accessories"
Hover ouse on "Accessibility"
Select "Narrator"
Follow Prompts
That will set up an albeit annoying synthesized voice to read text from documents and web pages for you. I can't promise it'll work 100%, but it's better than trying to strain your eyes.
I can read it, and appreciate you stopping by. Give your eyes as much rest as you can.
I'll take care of them as best I can and hope for the best.
There's three main brands of cola here in the US, each with their own following of loyal drinkers. Pepsi Cola (Pepsi), Coca-Cola (Coke), and Royal Crown Cola (known as RC). Of the three, I actually prefer Royal Crown, it has a nuttier taste to it that I like. Pepsi is kind of mellow, and Coke is, well it's got that really funky bite to it that I don't care for anymore. I probably wouldn't drink something like that if I knew what all was in it too.
I like to get feedback too, it helps me improve myself in many ways. I've learned a lot of good stuff, just from listening to others make suggestions.
I can't really help you there, your site is only slow for me when I use IE to load it (IE is painfully slow with a lot of sites to be honest). When I'm in FireFox, it loads fine.
I'm glad to know you read my posts, even if you don't always comment I like to know I have an audience. Magnus and I share more than expressive writing ability, but that's getting into personal things, and I'm not one to talk about people behind their back that way.
I could dig up Dr. Soran's line about time being a predator from Star Trek Generations, but Picard also had a wonderful rebut to that so I'll leave those out. Time is an overwhelming prospect when it takes over. It can be tamed, I just lack the energy to tame it right now.
Even though I don't have much luck with plants, I've always been interested in gardening. If I learned anything at all over the years in my attempts, I hope it's enough to keep these plants thriving.
It's easy to get an idea, sometimes it's nearly impossible to get it off the ground.
I'm familiar with that concept in other terms. The Native Americans believe in something called a "Spirit Guide" which is usually an animal spirit that guides and protects a person through life, and everyone has one. I'm putting together a plan to go on a real Native American vision quest to hopefully find out what my spirit guide really is, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it is some kind of reptile. I can't explain it, but I've always been drawn to reptiles, particularly dragons, and lizards, and the ocassional pizza scarfing turtle. ~_^
Be careful, CO2 under pressure can be pretty potent.
Those are very wise, and welcome words. I appreciate the thought, but I've been picking up the pieces, building and rebuilding dreams since I was about 14 years old. Honestly, I'm tired of cleaning up the messes other people leave behind after tearing down what I've worked hard to build. Or is it okay that my suffering can be a consquence of someone else fulfilling their dreams?
Never in a million years would I use a cover version of a Creedence song. I have yet to hear one I actually like. It's CCR all the way, and a good song for being down, at least for me anyway. Funny thing, I'm out of touch with my generation when it comes to music. Stuff from the 90's when i was in my teens doesn't interest me, I'm into stuff from the 80's and earlier in terms of American music, there's a lot more variety to the sound, and I don't know, there's more heart ot it I think.
We're birds of a feather there. I put my whole heart into everything I do that's worth doing, so I tend to take it hard when things don't turn out all right. I'm the same way, why only do something halfway from the heart, it's just not right.
I'm kind of weird about crowds. I can get along just fine in crowds so long as I'm among people who I know are similarly motivated. Basically, I'd have fun at a convention and not be too bothered by the crowds because they're all animé fans too. My budgetary constraints would be the sour note for me, there's no two ways about that.
I hope to see you back online be it here or anywhere for that matter soon, and I'm glad to know you made it through the move in one piece.
