We've got a Garmin nuvi 760. No complaints here. Garmin do GPS right. If you have a Costco membership then keep an eye out for sales on them - you can end up getting a bunch off (ours was $100 off).

I asked my husband andie - he doesn't love me enough to do either of those things (that's ok though, I wouldn't do it for him either, I'd have let you throw up on the blanket then washed that). However, he did drive to drop off a change of clothes and bag on monday when I had vomited all over myself and my backpack on the way to school. He ended up taking me home, which I appreciated it no end.

.........speaking of school.  I'm off to see the wizardto get a few things straightened out.  i recieved an 'F' in my class and I need to see WTF happened!!!   There's NO WAY IN HELL i received an 'F' in that class!!!

I calculated my grade BEFORE i even took my final to see what i need to pass the class and all i needed was to answer 4 correct to pass.... with a C

I'll let you know what happened when i get back

#$@#$@#%#$^#%^@#$^@#$^%@#$^@#$%@#$%

There is no way in hell you'd receive an F in any class. I think a kick to the pants of the professor is in order. Please do keep me updated.

To celebrate the first day of classes I threw up on myself on the bus on the way to school. IT WAS AWESOME. Really.

(actually no, it sucked)

But, my Auntie isn't on CC. It would have to be "regular email". How do I send something from my journal (that has hyper-links) to her & make sure the links work?

You can send her a link to your journal I think

http://caloriecount.about.com/users/buggyhair /250593.html

- I could access it when I wasn't logged in. Jfker should help you with whatever you use for mac email - I can copy and paste all of your links into Outlook and it retained them as hyperlinks but I'm not sure with macOS. I think it's a matter of having HTML enabled but I don't know if that is on by default in mac email. I imagine it probably is. Just try it, it may work!

Edit: So put your mouse to the left of the C in chocolate and drag it down to the right of the R in burger, go to edit, copy (does ctrl + C work in mac??) and then paste it into the body of an email.

I love the family pics, although I don't really get why jfker is constantly copping a feel of me, the other ladies in the house are far less..well....rotund, shall we say?

What grade did you get for your class moofles? I apparently had my knickers in a twist over nothing and am perfectly satisfied with all of my grades this semester. I'm taking 6 classes next semester though. O_O

I am slightly peeved too, I thought I went back on the 7th, but I go back on monday. *sob* I WANT MORE TIME OFF DAMMIT.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

and i completely agree, jules.  lot's of people let their small dogs get away with way too much: jumping, barking, even biting.  and it pisses me off that people think it's okay to take their rats into stores.  if i have to tie mine to a bike rack, dammit, so should you!!

Ok so this thread is rapidly turning into an ongoing tirade against small dogs. As a small dog owner let me assure you that owning one isn't all sunshine and roses.

Why don't I leave my dog tied up outside stores? Because a) 2 times when I've done it people have tried to steal them (one time they made a joke of the fact that they were trying to untie their leashes, the other time had their leashes untied and were walking down the street) and b) if I do it when I can see them from the store people try to pat them, which sends my tan dog into a frenzy and my fat dog cowering at the end of the leash. If I have them with me and I need to go into a store I either have my carrier with me or I don't go in, because it's too stressful all around otherwise. I've had a dog stolen, I don't want another one gone.

My dogs don't jump up, they ignore everyone and everything unless someone pays attention to them first. I tell people that if they try to pat my dog she will bark; she might bite; she doesn't like people. It has never once in 10 years stopped a single person from trying. And she barks every single time. It's not my fault that people don't listen.

P.S. My rant about big dog owners - if my dog is running around reminiscent of a terrified rabbit while your dog is chasing her? Yeh, your dog is NOT "just playing".

Oh jfk keep talking like that and I'll be the Deanna Troi to your Number One all. night. long. Rawr.

I actually do yell at people to get off the ****ing phone when I see them stopped in the middle of the intersection as the light turns red while they're yacking away as if it's the most important conversation of their life. I also hang up on people who put me on call waiting - I find it rude when people are talking to me only to whack me on hold in the offchance that someone better is there to talk to.

Nan is awesome and has been for the nearly 11 years that I've known her. She's got about 3% vision in one eye and the other one is glass (hereditary eye disease) so she's raised 5 kids (2 of the boys are blind as well) and umteen grandkids while almost completely blind. She also lives alone in Ontario and basically raised my husband and I can't impress upon you what an incredible woman she is. She wouldn't agree, but the good ones never do. Unfortunately it seems she is succumbing to dementia, and she can't carry on a conversation any more, which has my husband quite upset. :|

Both of my own grandmas are dead - one was an evil bitch but the other one was good, albeit staunchly Catholic. My grandfather died last year but the other one is still kicking around in Australia aged 96 (!).

Ok, just to throw a wrench in the works, I say lose the 'stache. The only time a moustache alone has ever looked good was on Tom Selleck when he was Magnum P.I. He's pretty much ruined it for the rest of you.

PLEASE, SOMEBODY, CHECK MY JOURNAL & TELL ME IT WORKED.....

It worked! Congratulations!

Oh and while your at it, in window number 3 open your journal entry and type in Granola

Click the safari icon twice? Try going to file, open new tab or new window - I now see where your problem lies, this would be impossible without having multiple windows open. :(

Let me grab it, what's another browser eh?

Sorry I got carried away irl so it took me a while to get back. What I did was:

1. Open each recipe in a new tab in my browser

2. Type out the names of each recipe in my journal

3. Copy the URL of the recipe (granola for example)

3. Highlight a name and used the link button to paste in the URL

4. Rinse and repeat for each recipe

Yell if that doesn't work and I'll grab safari and see what's up. Good luck!

Chrono Trigger for my DS! :D

At least you're not this guy? Or more to the point, that guy's neighbours.

Happy Christmas misery guts!
