    Do you carry a pocketknife?

    I have a Leatherman Wave that I have around all the time. I don't usually wear it, but it's in my backpack, which is rarely far away. I use it at work all the time, and it comes in handy around the house fairly often as well.

    Wizards not going to Origins???

    I thought that was odd as well. Guess I might need to see if UVA will pay for me to go this year! Probably not, though, I'm too far down the totem pole for them to send a staff member when there are librarians who don't even get enough of a travel allowance to go. Guess I'll need to pull in...

    I was skipping class... and now I'm not!

    I didn't skip many classes, but the ones I did were never worth attending due to the incompetence of the teachers. One never took attendance, rarely made any sense, and his tests didn't remotely resemble anything we hever discussed in class or read in the assigned work. It was easier to just...

    Help for crashed Windows Explorer in ME.

    Another option is to get a utility like Partition Magic and use it to create a second partition on your HD and have a dual OS system. Use Xp for most things, and keep ME on the second partition for the stuff that won't run on XP. You'll need to have a decent sized HD, but it's possible. That...

    Help for crashed Windows Explorer in ME.

    As has been said before, WinME is awful, and has a tendancy to break down in unexpected places for no valid reason. I'd go out and buy a WinXP Upgrade. You can pick the XP Home upgrade up for under $100...

    [HELP!!!] House breaking a Brittany Spaniel(Updated)

    Can't help you on the excitability piddling issues, but I know EXACTLY where you are coming from with the roundness obsession. Our springer spaniel can be kept happy for hours with a tennis ball (or any other ball for that matter). We have several around the house that he has removed all the...

    Latest Purchases?

    I saw some of those at GenCon, but couldn't justify buying more unpainted minis when I have a few hundred at home already and I paint maybe 1 day a month. They were pretty good, as I recall, and based on artwork in the C&C PHB.

    Tome of Horrors Revised watermarked PDF now available on drivethrurpg.com

    Hmm. Sounds like you have some security settings set pretty high. Do you have problems with other pages as well? I found that a few security settings in Firefox can mess some pages up. I don't recall what they were now, as I changed them quite a while ago.

    Quirky Food Habits

    Oh yeah! I love grade B syrup-dark, thick, and very mapley! Most people only use it for cooking, but damn, it's the one I like best. I don't like my syrup to get on my eggs or bacon & sausage. I used to like runny yolk eggs when I was little, but now they need to be cooked hard. And scrambled...

    Bad video card?

    Yep, ordered a laptop the other day! It should arrive on Monday. Then my next plan is to start building a desktop PC of my own specs after the holidays when I have a bit more extra $. :cool:

    Quirky Food Habits

    I HATE butter on pancakes. Especially when I tell the waitress, and they end up coming to the table with butter on them. that ruins the meal for me. I also detest that goopy sugar and carmel flavored stuff they try to pass of as pancake syrup. If it ain't real maple syrup, why bother? Log Cabin...

    Terrain for battlemats?

    Lego bricks. If you are looking to make walls and the like, they are great. You can pick up a big bucket of them at Toys R Us or Walmart for about $25, and they are hella useful, expandable, and easy to put together. :cool:
