As always seems to happen with BMIR in our house, we'll be swaying to some lovely oontz and it will cut out. Repeatedly. Then completely need a reboot. Anyone out there have any tips? We've tried different browsers and different players and they all seem to do the same. I'm in the middle of a "in li...

Last year, for the first time – and pretty much right off the bat, I started having troubles with my nose: Not only painful and hard to breathe, but also frequent and hard-to-stop nosebleeds. Seeing my suffering, our neighbour gave me a small tin of Burt’s Beeswax. The oils, peppermint and comfrey r...

Anyone have any news of Patsh? She's late with her after-burn report.

I'm hoping that means she's still out there having fun -- or maybe Reno-ing with friends, having fun -- or any old type of funhaving, really...

I was thinking to print up a sign letting Burners know that I am willing to share my expertise. I wanted to print up a 18" x 24" sign at Kinko's and plant my umbrella then pull up my beach chair and drink a beer. If anyone stops by I'd share my knowledge about investing in RE. UncleFunny Actually, ...

So all these posts that start with "Re:" must die?

Or just let her loose. She'll be fine.

Never done it before. Never wanted to.
Went into this thread and there it was: a little wrench right next to the "post reply" button at top or at bottom.

Click it and the first choice is "subscribe"

Yeah. Our camp makes a bar and a dance floor, rugs, sound system, public art. And we don't beg for other people to pay for it. It's called gifting. If you can't afford it, don't come. Mean spirited and ugly. The Midnight Poutine folks are some of the most giving people I know. They give out this gi...

Damn. And I have all these french "For Sale" signs that I never sent off to Patch for this burn. Could have put an entire neighbourhood up for sale.

I'm going to just sit down here on the side of the room that offers admiration more to your name and your story and your obvious excitement than your avatar.

Your avatar is a bit sick, actually. The rest is refreshing.

Personally, my manuals often end up in the fireplace because I'd never find them again even if I kept them.

Google searches are easier than those teensy-print things anyway when searching for specific answers.

...tho the seeds can be quite delicious...

And really, what is “Hippie Gear” if not about 80% delights borrowed from diverse cultures.

Only knock I ever hear about them is the smell, never "OMG, the international MAYHEM you are wearing! You should be ashamed!!"

At least a couple of women rocked hiqabs or the like in "inappropriate" ways this year. One led her man around on a leash. Another wore only a honking black strap on and boots besides. Had I seen either not just in pictures, I’d have been thrilled. Not because they were making any kind of a statemen...

Hugging you all especially hard today.

May the trip be glorious, Dave. You deserve it.

I just want to take these words home and cuddle them all day long.

workaround is right click and select open link in new tab with a simple "refresh" on your return to update your status. This suits me. Thank you 48! I felt compelled to complete your sentence up there so nobody would be disappointed with the outcome and spar with the validity of your instruction.

This is the first screen that pops up when I log in. Just for a few seconds, mind you. Just long enough to entice me into reacting.

Don't you just hate it when you're just browsing, then you hit a thread that contains a picture you aren't authorized to see or something you want to respond to and you have to scroll to the top of the page and login and then you hit the "return to previous page" link and it brings you to the main i...

Yep. This man NEEDS a pronounceable name.

Arghhhh. Day 7 and there is one little street left to do. Of course that's my street. I don't know why I'm so interested. It's a street with no placed camps. Green I'll take all the credit. Red I'll blame the neighbors. Same boat. Strange choice of last, don't you think? And I swore I wouldn't feel...

Happy Birthday Unjohn! Be thankful I'm not there.

Don't mind Sham - he's from Bahston, and couldn't pronounce a word if he tried.

Such a beautiful read. Touched me thru and thru, all throughout.
THANK YOU for being able to say it all so perfectly.

Safe and sound thoughts out to everyone dealing with a strange return.

(((((16 showers later and still feeling dusty HUGZ))))))

Good fortune and success to all you in your preps and travels. Meanwhile, here in Northern Canukistan, I am still in a mode that thinks it's perfectly ok to throw more stuff at a suitcase that is already overflowing instead of actually figuring out how to close it. Tomorrow is last chance culling da...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Ellorum!

What an awesome person you are. We are ALL truly blessed to know you.

spent almost ALL DAY at Urgent Care and then the ER. :shock: Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!!! :shock: I'm out of the house from 8:50 to about 9:30 this morning (my time), but please call me as soon as you get up. (see how I know eplaya is the first place you'll open? Magical sisterly connection or some...

Another thread sparked my curiosity, and so I asked: Did Burner Express have a place to leave messages for people arriving by bus so they'd have an idea where to find their already established buddies? The answer is YES. I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere else, so I thought I'd put it here in the...

I went ahead and wrote Burner Express to ask about a bulletin board, and YES, they do have an area for people to leave notes.

So asking your friends to saunter on by with the address once they know where they settle so you know exactly how to find them is an option, should you want to go that route.
