Well, I'm still waiting patiently (not), but won't go into full on drunk mode until the lottery ends.

Congratz to all of you who have gotten tickets so far.

Edit: Just realized this was in the WTF thread, saw some posts about tickets and assumed I was in a tickets thread.

Is anyone having problems with MSN page or hotmail?

Another WTF!! I went through Jack in the Box and bought...get this...a bacon shake!! I was the first one to order one! :lol: It was pretty good however, it was too sweet.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

Here's the trick--you want a fairly short version of the url between the yotube tags. It'll say http://www.youtube.com and a slash, and a watch?=_ and some gobbledygook (maybe 10 letters and numbers) and then an ampersand (a "&"). You do not want the &, or anything that comes after that.

You can test with the "Preview" button next to "Submit" and see if it's going to load before clicking submit.

Removing the ampersand and afterwards! That what i was missing. I spent 5min trying different embed urls and codes before I gave up last night.

Thanks Savannah!

Typically when I find a You Tube I want to link
1. I hit the [SHARE] button, that is located just below the video window on you tube
Then a little white area pops up with an URL and a bunch of buttons to the right.
2. Right under where the URL is there is a little options pull down you can click on.
Example url: <---this one never works for me
Three options come up []HD Link; []Start at[#:##]; and []Long Link
3. Check the box that says Long link
Then the short URL will turn into something more like

4. copy/paste that long url into the ePlaya message box
5. Highlight the entire long Url, then click the [youtube] button above the message box.

Hardly seems fake to me. That's some real talent there - and a real treat to watch!!!!

Squeegying sounds awfully impressive as well. Think you can get into my side yard to (gently) scrape some of the snow off my roof??? Sounds like you've got the skills for the job Yigg.


I was allowed to operate a crane once. Good thing it was a sunday and the site was closed... and the I-beam imaginary. Otherwise there would have been much mutilation and death. I'm guessing some practice might be necessary to that particular skill!

why Delle..........you gotta know, anything I did in your "side yard" would be gentle......
haha, I have scraped snow off a roof in the past. It works pretty good with an "extenda-a-hoe" feature, where I can reach about 20' or so.
I'll jump on my backhoe, and start driving your way.....I should be there by winter, 2018.

and, the crane.......well, yeah, "death and mutilation" are great incentives to do better. "practice makes perfect"!!

I think it's a little risky assuming they'll still be in vogue in 2018.

I'll start planting as many varieties as I can this spring just in case tho.
