It works well for mosquito bites. Don't know about ants.

The guy was an evangelical sheister on the order of Jack Chick but with less scruples. Besides him being an offensive piece of human waste, I occasionally did work for him professionally and learned to hate him for new reasons. The guy was trash. He's still around but his empire has fallen about his ears and I'm happy to say that I played a part in it. Dirtbag.

Working in a factory putting rubber a**holes in wooden hobby horses. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.

:D Ya gotta wonder what the Hell they were thinking sometimes eh?

When I think up a way to rip someone's ass, I make damned sure I protect myself from that very same method. I tend to be a sneaky, vengefull type and always suspect there are others out there like myself. Years ago, I went after a national radio personality that I didn't like. He operated out of Denver and was careless with his personal data. After I cancelled his hotel rooms when he did seminars and also his return airline tickets and reported his credit cards as stolen, I decided to protect my own information better than he did.

If this has already been done as a topic, feel free to kick me for starting another thread. I haven't played a game I liked since BG and IWD. I don't like shooter games, only RPGs like Shining Force ( old-assed Sega game ), Baldur's Gate series and Icewind Dale. Suggestions? I'm running a MSI Platinum motherboard with either a 4800+ or an FX-60 and a GeForce 6600 GTE or GeForce 7600 GT video card. Between 1 Gb to 4 Gb ram. WinXP Pro SP1. Plenty of hard-drive space.

Craigboy, a dab of toothpaste on each of the bites may take the irritation out of them.

(w00t) Actually, I've done it. I had a jerk living below me years ago and concocted this when I was drunk one night. If you want to test out the time you have before 'inflation', submerge the newly formed sponge-ball in a sink of cold water and count how many seconds you have before it inflates enough to jam itself into the pipe. Most American sewer lines in domestic use are 3-4 inches in diameter. If it swells up too fast, allow it more time to dry and then possibly adjust it's inflation time by spraying it lightly with WD40 or some other light oil to slow it's absorbtion rate. If you want it to inflate sooner, soak it in soapy water before shrinking it and allowing it to dry. It will absorb water faster then ( just in case you live in a high-rise bldg and don't want it delivered to the nice old lady two floors below you ).

So when did I ever say that I was otherwise?

If you have good reason to suspect the guys below you, here's what you do. Take a large new sponge and soak it until it's nice and soft. Now squeeze it into the most compact shape that you can and tie it up with string or twine and allow it to dry in this shape. After a day or so when it has completely dried, cut the string loose. The sponge should retain it's new small form. Now flush it down your toilet. As it moves down the sewer line it will absorb water and begin to expand again. By the time it has swelled up to it's original size, it should be well into your downstairs neighbor's sewer line. Now throw a party at your place and watch all of your party-goer's toilet flushing back up into the neighbor's bathtub. Fun for everyone! Make sure to serve burritos so the neighbors can enjoy the new scents that you're delivering. Maybe some chili with beans.

Since his curriculum vitae ( resume for the Americans ) was in the hard-drive, I think I'd be filling out on-line job applications for male prostitute positions. Maybe a few 'personal' ads as well. "Submissive gay male looking for well hung giant to make me his bitch." or something to that effect. There's just no end for possibilities for fun here. After doing some data recovery on 'dead' or wiped hard-drives, this is why I just take a hammer to them when I'm done. You certainly don't want any of your little 'indiscretions' to go out on the web. Not that I have any of course.

I reopened this just to post that this is a version of the Nigerian Scam-letter. It's purpose is to get a person to open a bank account for the clown to 'deposit' the funds into and then they take over the account and you are most definitely screwed then. Everyone do his part to discourage this sort of practice by spamming the hell out of that address. Sign 'em up for porn or something. Something like this maybe

And you get a gold star for your efforts.

Pack sand noob! That trinket is only 4/10ths of a watt. If you ever want to run with the big boys you'll consider this item at half the price and it emits 20-30 full watts of cutting power! And...it's invisible so there's no trail to lead the nosy-assed police back to whoever created that 'stylin' new tatoo on Gov. Swartz . http://www.amazing1.com/burning-lasers.htm

Yoga would indeed be a huge benefit. It's cheaper than a doctor but I would try it first. I'm not real big on going to a doctor obviously so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. I personally like to try everything I can before seeing a doctor. Kinda like reading the directions before I start a project . Why the hell would I need instructions? I'm a guy. I can handle this . Then again, he 'is' asking for medical advice on a gamers board .

WITHTEETH - That really sucks about your back. I feel your pain . Actually I do. I've been a pipefitter for nearly twenty years and rather than fully explain what that means, suffice to say that it is a very physical job. I've blown out my back several times in my earlier years and have had chronic lower back pain for abut 15 years. One of the best things you can since you work on a ladder and swing stuff too far from your body is some simple stretching exercises. Little stuff like touching your toes with your legs locked and standing upright with your arms extended out to your sides a twisting will help you out dramatically. Nothing obnoxious since that will only cause further damage ( and PAIN!!! ). The only real time I was without pain to my back was when I was taking martial arts lessons. I could put the flats of my hands on the ground with my knees locked. I've never been able to do that before or since. I'm too lazy to do the stretches now so my back hurts fairly constantly. You can get used to it or do the stretches a little each day. I'm now 44 and unless you get your muscles to work together instead of against each other, you're going to have years of pain to look forward to. Heating pad works but makes you look like an old man. Drinking helps but your painting will look like you used a toilet brush to smear crap on someone's house <_< . Stretching's better.

Damn. You are getting close to the grave. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You'll be chasing your Jack Daniels with Pepto shortly yourself Babe. Besides, if only the good die young, I've got the ticket to eternal life.

44 years old. Deep into geezerdom.

No problems with heat. I've added some fans in odd places to keep the processors cool. Two dual-cores in one case can make the heat add up real fast. I may add thermo-electric cooling if it becomes a problem. One of the systems is mostly archive so I don't care much about it's sound capabilities. As far as cost...I'm about 6K USD in this stupid thing. It started out as an idea and then Sarge cast some doubt on if I could make it work. Worst thing you can do is tell me something can't be done. It rapidly got out of hand from there. I've been working on it seriously for about 6 months. Works well but I really haven't loaded it up properly to baseline it.

:D I don't even bother putting the sides back on any of my computers since I'll just be taking it off again in a short time. That ugly brute is a network-in-a-box. I think it weighs about 50 pounds. Steel case with two 550 watt power supplies and 7 hard-drives. The local computer store is now carrying Seagate's 500 Gb drives so I'll probably be adding one or two of those to help clean it up. My wife is always yelling at me about the desk.

Since I can't get the damned image feature to work... http://www.tarna.us/album_pic.php?pic_id=11 My desk is most always a mess because I get bored and either tear something apart or build something. Building this time.

During her fertile years, she might have been quite the looker. He probably hadn't even been born though . Besides, in Malaysia, it might not be required that you 'consumate the marriage' for it to be legal. If they want to spend whatever few years she has left together, good on them. It does remind me on Anna Nichole Smith though.

(w00t) Marriage Licence - $10, Minister - $50, seeing Lonewolf destroy his manhood - Priceless!

Finally got my two computers to talk to one another but don't seem to be able to access the secondary drives on my archiving system. I presently have 5 active drives that are close to full. The front drive is 100 Gb and the back drives are 250 to 320 Gb each. I've tried dropping a shortcut to each drive into my Shared Folder but the other computer can't use them. Suggestions on how to full access the other drives across the network connection?
