Do you like your Feng Shui on ice or neat?

Yeah. I can see eplaya today. Last two days frontpage link to eplaya didn't work, just whitescreen, no load...

Then my malicious software screener said I had been attacked by a trojan. Are we under a denial of service attack by the N. Koreas again?

Here's one to the internet gods today for letting me access eplaya. Gave me a chance yesterday to read the blogs and guide pages again.

Howdy everyone!

Wow, what a shock that was! I was online and got an email that said someone was in the Bar. Hurried over to see what was up and found Simon.

Yay, eplaya is back!

Thanks for the warning, ygmir. I had my street smart girl hat on with Simon!
He's sweet but you gotta have your guard up. :D

Let's restock the bar and have a cocktail, shall we? And toast to the internet hamsters AND whoever is doing the fixing. Salut!

Arm's itching really badly beneath the cast today. Might be time to start drinking heavily. Either that or disobey the doc's orders and make a scratching tool.

I'll just leave the bottle right here for you, Ranger Genius. And the knitting needles are behind the bar there if you ever need 'em.

I'm trying to follow the doctor's orders and not stick anything in there. I presume because a scratch in there could get easily infected. Though the current alcohol content of my blood should be sufficient to auto-sterilize pretty much any wound.

fishy, not sure if you're on a PC or Mac. I'm on a Mac and what I do is take the .jpg into Photoshop to resize it. But I think that lots of photo programs will open a .jpg and allow you to resize.

Good luck with your project. Can't wait to see your new avatar :D

Oh thanks Crypto...Bloody brain cupcakes, yum!

Just last night we were working on the el wire for our art car and when we took it outside and turned it on we realized it looked more like a bloody brain than lava flowing down the side of a volcano.
It's going to be alright.

Sure, but I don't like drinking that weird stuff that makes you act funny.

A water bowl would be fantastic!

Well...I won't be able to make it to Black Rock City this year...but I'm not that bummed about it. I'm going to be very busy preparing for a new addition! Chasity and I just learned today that we're having a baby BOY!!!!

If I could pour everyone real shots of Patron right now I'd gladly do so....but since I can't the virtual shots will have to do!

I know the section of I-70 from Denver to Green River very well....love to drive it whenever I can. I'm living in Lakewood....which means I can get my mountain fix in about 10 minutes. I love it here...just wish it wasn't so expensive. My fiancee wants to move back to Nebraska but I'm hoping we can stay put.
