Posting Pictures

May 8th, 2007 at 10:46am Bryan

N.B. For this to work, you need to have your preferences set for the “visual rich editor.”  Go to your user profile, the bottom of the page, to check that.  If you don’t have it set for that, the pics won’t show up in your editing window.
Alrighty then. So you want to be a picture posting guru, eh? Well, listen up, ’cause we’re only going to do this once (of course you can always track it down later after you forget; I won’t delete the post).

First, you need a picture. So what about a screenshot of this here screen?

Image 1

See, that’s all there is to it. Oh. You want step by step instructions? My bad. Take a look at this screen:

Image2

If you follow the instructions, you’ll see something similar to this:

Image3

So, we’re almost done. Now we need to make it so that the picture can be enlarged. Sorry, but this is where it gets complicated. First, click one time on the image in your post to select it.

Image4

Now get the link info:

Image5

Now let’s add it to the image we want:

Image6

Ta da!

Okay, this may not be the best way, or the right way, or the only way, but it works for me with the fewest problems.

(PS - I’ve been getting script errors today that I don’t normally get. If it happens to you, click Yes (twice) and go on as before. Not sure what’s going on with that.)

Edit ~ for those of you who are comment challenged and can’t see the Error Screen, here it is

    Great! Thanks! Except, um, I do not recognize any of the screen captures you’ve posted as examples of how to post. I never see any of that when I comment. Or is that only for special posters with special software and I am not special and will therefore never be able to post?


  • 2. McB  |  May 8th, 2007 at 11:15 am

    Me - that’s what the screen looks like when you are writing a post, as opposed to a comment. That’s what the authors work with.


  • 3. McB  |  May 8th, 2007 at 11:21 am

    Thanks, Bryan. Or Byran.

    Question: What’s a “paste buffer”?


  • 4. Bryan  |  May 8th, 2007 at 11:51 am

    Paste Buffer = super secret codeword for “clipboard”

    When you copy stuff, that’s where it goes. When you paste stuff, that’s where it comes from.


  • 5. GatorPerson  |  May 8th, 2007 at 11:51 am

    Giggle! Snort! Sometimes a picture is NOT worth a 1,000 words.
    Buffer? Won’t answer that in my usual techy way so much as to say clicking “Copy” puts the stuff into a computer space called a buffer and clicking “Paste” copies it from the buffer to the WhereverYouClick..

    Giving computer directions is not for the timid. But whoever said Byron was timid? Snort! And yes, I know how to spell Bryan. But rankling can be soooo much fun. CBPEN, I said I was the mean one.

    Have given away a gazillion of my platelets and now must go to a funeral. So I’m in a wild and crazy mood. She lived to 93 or so and had a good life and a peaceful death.


  • 6. btuda  |  May 8th, 2007 at 12:01 pm

    Super secret codewords? Kinda like sparkling grapefruit = cat pee?

    Had to go to the BMV for a lost car title over lunch. Amazingly, I made it back to work on time. The bad news? The bank that had the lien on my car 8 years ago has no record of having my loan. Hence, a serious delay in getting my missing title. Argh. Off to do more research.


  • 7. McB  |  May 8th, 2007 at 12:12 pm

    Ah … paste buffer = that place things go to between copying and pasting.

    Thanks Bryan.


  • 8. orangehands  |  May 8th, 2007 at 12:42 pm

    re last post: i admit it wasn’t an “evil” plan to get you all to post within 15 seconds to see the thing (BTW, i use firefox, if that makes a difference), but ROTFLMAO at it.

    yeah, i just kind of skipped over all that, b-man. but then, i can post a picture. bwa-ha-ha-h…i think.

    GP: still, ((HUGS)). and what’s with the platelets?


  • 9. Bryan  |  May 8th, 2007 at 12:44 pm

    btuda,

    If the bank has no record of ever having your loan, does that mean you can request a refund?


  • 10. dee  |  May 8th, 2007 at 1:07 pm

    Now I have a headache.
    Thanks, Bry. Your instructions were very detailed. I don;t know that I’ve ever paid quite so much attention to them before. I’ve been using computers for over 25 years, in one form or another, and it’s strange for me to encounter people that are not as familiar with things like this as I am. Not to say I am an expert, far from it. I know just enough to make me a royal pain to my husband, the hacker.
    But you did really great with explanations. This post should be linked on our front page, or on a “how-to” page. Do we have one of those? If not, might I suggest creating one? With links to all of the posts that explain how to do things? That would be good.


  • 11. btuda  |  May 8th, 2007 at 1:28 pm

    bryan - *snort* I wish. Of course, making a request would probably expedite the whole paperwork process.

    Actually upon my fifth call of the day on this, I actually found someone who at least said she would try to give me a status report in 3-5 days. Progress.


  • 12. dee  |  May 8th, 2007 at 2:07 pm

    Oh hey, speaking of posting pictures… I posted one of my baby on my blog ( deeceetalks.blogspot.com). TODAY is THAT DAY, that day that begins the year that is one older than five.
    It is TRAUMA for me today. She has more years than the number of digits on one hand. It is SAD for me today, because she is my BABY, and by definition, the BABY is supposed to be LITTLE.
    She is no longer little. She is BIG and getting BIGGER every day. She has many WORDS stored in her beautiful head. Some of them are not nice words. I tell about one such situation over on my blog.
    You’ll have to excuse me today, as I ramble and stumble and crumble around, trying to imagine a world where my BABY, that very last child to ever climb directly from the warmth and safety of my very own body, has become that one age that is older by one than FIVE.

    Trauma, much? Naaaaah. Why do you ask?

    Oh yeah - WELCOME CBPEN. It’s so great to see you here. Please pardon my slight neurotic bent. It’s a sad day in my house.


  • 13. Jennifer Talty  |  May 8th, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    Geez. Bryan posts pictures on how to post pictures and I still don’t have my copy of the Grover Dance. What is the world coming too. I’m always left out in the dark.


  • 14. Bryan  |  May 8th, 2007 at 3:28 pm

    Jen-t, how many times I gotta tell you? It’s a near-far video. There ain’t no dancing.


  • 15. orangehands  |  May 8th, 2007 at 3:42 pm

    you know, i managed to get through b-man’s (dn’t you like how i have now completely skipped over trying to spell his name right?) explanayion, but dee’s hurt my head.

    “that one age that is older by one than FIVE.”

    ack! i need to go lay down.


  • 16. Jennifer Talty  |  May 8th, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    Well Bryan dear - I aint’ got either! Sheesh. Get over the symantics, would ya?


  • 17. WapakGram  |  May 8th, 2007 at 3:54 pm

    I am off to try the magic window for pictures. For the love of Bob, can it be any more complicated. Paste Buffer? *snort*. I thought that was an elementary teacher who stopped you from eating the white stuff.
    But I am a tech-tard.
    A new picture of MAX will be tried. What else would I post?


  • 18. GatorPerson  |  May 8th, 2007 at 3:58 pm

    Dee, they’ll always be your babies. Mine turn to me when trouble lurks around them, even though they’re in their 30’s now. They turned to me when trouble lurked around me. Something to look forward to is when they’ve completed their “Mom is so dumb,” phase and have become both your children and your friends. It’ll happen.

    OH, platelets because it’s the right thing to do. Platelets store for only a few days; so when they’re calling me there’s already someone in trouble. We can give platelets every 2 weeks, and the Red X calls…every 2 weeks. The Red X - where everyone knows my name, and not just the alias.

    Buffers - we all have them. Pantry, gas tank, closet, grocery cart. Where stuff gets stored temporarily. In and Out. I could have mentioned math, but I DIDN’T!

    Now, what’s a near-far video? Zoom in and out? Split screen? Grover’s navel?


  • 19. GatorPerson  |  May 8th, 2007 at 4:32 pm

    Another post by me already? This link appeals to me so very much that I’m passing it on. It’s a hoot! Turn on your sound!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQdlBqQAQ1A

    The link above may not show up quite right, but you all know what to do to make it work!


  • 20. Lori  |  May 8th, 2007 at 4:39 pm

    GP- Grover taught me the difference between Near and Far in his fabulous Grover Demonstrates Near and Far T.V. Sketch. Bryan will demonstrate how that looked in his upcoming video, but here you can watch Grover teach the difference between First and Last…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSwJBsIIynk&NR=1

    (it’s a little fuzzy, but it made me smile)


  • 21. Pam  |  May 8th, 2007 at 5:33 pm

    oh yeah dee~~~didn’t put it in the comments from the last post, but if you need another Delta reader…you can count on me. Read some of your stuff on your blog….very good!!


  • 22. orangehands  |  May 8th, 2007 at 6:01 pm

    GP: i thought it was doc related. just checking.

    i’ll look at videos after i get out of class (they frown on noise when they’re lecturing you, still not sure why :) )

    dee: i offer too. though i always forget, what’s the difference between a beta and delta reader? are there alpha readers?

    oh, lurker BCB: please go bother GAM sons (since you want to anyways, i’m sending you on a fact-finding mission) and find out how louis is. then post the info. thanks.


  • 23. dee  |  May 8th, 2007 at 7:13 pm

    OH- I’ll let McB explain the difference between alpha, beta and Delta readers. If I’m not mistaken, she’s the one that actually coined that term. Of course, I may be mistaken. I believe that has happened. Once.

    And Pam - Thanks. That was so nice of you to say. *blushing*


  • 24. Lori  |  May 8th, 2007 at 8:01 pm

    Okay I’m too amused not to share this one….

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR4ptGmo9Tk&mode=related&search=

    I’m pretty sure you all be able to figure out at least one of the reasons I was laughing so hard.


  • 25. orangehands  |  May 8th, 2007 at 9:44 pm

    *snort* i like that last one lori. esp the end. :)

    and then, because it is so bloody hot (the Brit in me seems to come out at these times) i’m going to go soak in a COLD shower. after which my hair will probably dry in 3.4 minutes.


  • 26. BCB, still lurking. Almost asleep.  |  May 8th, 2007 at 10:13 pm

    The alpha reader is the writer. The beta reader is the second to read it. It’s a Greek alphabet thing. [You know, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, etc.] But I thought that sounded pretty damn wimpy, so I suggested Delta reader would be more appropriate, especially given the background of one of the writers to whom we were offering our reading services back then. Of course, it might have been McB who said that. We were probably in the car together at the time. It could have been either of us. It might even have been a song on the radio. But I could have sworn it was me. Not ME or McB, but me. But I’ve been wrong a time or two myself.

    And honestly, if I knew how to get hold of Louis’ GAM cowboy sons, I would. Really. No news yet.


  • 27. cc  |  May 8th, 2007 at 11:14 pm

    okay- not sure all the details- I haven’t read it all yet- but the headline is win a year of books- do I really need to know more than that? I don’t think so! http://fifthestate.co.uk/booklover/


  • 28. McB  |  May 9th, 2007 at 8:20 am

    I don’t know who coined the term ‘delta reader’ first, but beta reader just sounded too wimpy for a group poised to TOTW. So instead we founded a new reader unit, an elite spec. op. team of readers whose mission it is to be first on site. We go in and ’secure’ the plot. It’s all highly specialized and we get really nifty night reading scopes and cool berets.

    Delta Readers: The Few. The Proud. The Literate.


  • 29. GatorPerson  |  May 9th, 2007 at 8:31 am

    Geez! And Delta is soooo important to calculus, too. It always stands for CHANGE, aka DIFFERENCE. So I thought the Delta Readers were only looking at the way the manuscript had changed from the last rev to the current one.

    Oh, well. Wrong again.


  • 30. McB  |  May 9th, 2007 at 8:41 am

    Can’t you just stick to your sequins?


  • 31. GatorPerson  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:05 am

    Yep. Sequins. Now if I was sewing on 1 sequin every 4.25 minutes as I learned to sew sequins, and now I’m sewing 2 sequins every 45 seconds, what is the rate of improvement?

    Giggle, snort. Tralaalaalaa. Skipping through the daisies. Born to be mean.

    Meanwhile gotta go help a friend with her business of growing and selling roses grown on their own roots instead of grafted. Heaven Scent Roses. Cool name!


  • 32. dee  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:37 am

    CC- I think that we should ALL work on that quiz, then ALL of us turn in the answers. We’d have a much better chance of winning if we united.
    But seriously, I want to know what world they are living in where 52 books is enough for a year. Is there ANYONE here who only reads one book a week?


  • 33. Lori  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:40 am

    Okay, I see no one else is going to rise to the bait, so it’s up to me to ask Me the question:

    Me: What on earth did you do to make Grover so giddy he felt the urge to sing with pride?

    (This is why it never gets old for me. Me on the other hand may not be thinking as kindly about it all right now :) )


  • 34. dee  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:43 am

    The following is being posted as a public service announcement. I found this link from CCs link, and just fell in love with the description of this book. It sounds so much like a few of us. So I wanted to share. Go here http://www.newsfromnowhere.org.uk/books/DisplayBookInfo.php?ISBN=9780007227259 to see the whole thing.

    Book Lover

    by Jennifer Kaufmann and Karen Mack
    £7.99 paperback HarperCollins Publishers (2007)

    Book Lover by Jennifer Kaufmann and Karen Mack
    ‘Women do different things when they’re depressed. Some smoke, others drink, some call their therapists, some eat…And I do what I have always done – go off on a book bender that can last for days.’

    Whenever she’s in crisis – her marriage ends, her career stalls, her fantasy man shows signs of human frailty – Dora (named after Eudora Welty) escapes into not one, not two, but a carefully selected stack of books, shutting the door on the outside world until she emerges from her book binge strong enough to face her problems. Books have always been her saving grace, sheltering her during a difficult childhood and arming her with lessons and epigrams that are right for nearly every situation. But life is more complicated than a-book-a-day, and people – like her ex-alcoholic mother and judgmental sister – aren’t as compliant as beloved characters in a novel…

    Whether she’s being seduced by a quotation-quipping Quixote, or explaining death to a child by reading from ‘Charlotte’s Web’, Dora is Every-reader, and her charming story, shot through with humour and humanity, will delight anyone who’s ever sought solace in the pages of a book.


  • 35. me  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:58 am

    Did I miss something? What did I do to Grover now? And why is someone using my name (very nearly almost) to write about depressed women?

    Some moron pulled the fire alarm here again. Did I mentioned there are thunderstorms outside we had to stand in? Now they are trying to fix it, but the tornado siren keeps blaring. Argh.


  • 36. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 10:01 am

    me - did someone burn the popcorn in the microwave during the storm? Unfortunately, that happened A LOT where I used to work.


  • 37. me  |  May 9th, 2007 at 10:08 am

    Lori: *snort*. Grover was very excited that I finished all my vegetables last night. And that I am resisting the urge to strangle the fire/tornado siren repairperson right this very second. (I need to save that clip somewhere. LMAO)


  • 38. Lori  |  May 9th, 2007 at 10:41 am

    Me: Vegetables, eh? Sounds legit, but is “Myself” Grover’s pet name for you? Or is Myself some one else entirely? ‘Cause that’s where it all started to get a bit, uh, kink…uh, twist…uh, interesting for me. (And maybe for “Myself”?).

    I mean, I’ve read some stuff about Grover’s dark years, but still…

    Inquiring (gutter) minds want to know.


  • 39. McB  |  May 9th, 2007 at 10:47 am

    GatorPerson at 31 said … “Yep. Sequins. Now if I was sewing on 1 sequin every 4.25 minutes as I learned to sew sequins, and now I’m sewing 2 sequins every 45 seconds, what is the rate of improvement?”

    ARGH! To quote the one and only Bugs Bunny … “I’m dyin’ again!”


  • 40. Mary  |  May 9th, 2007 at 11:11 am

    Shouldn’t that be “If I were sewing on 1 sequin…”? Methinks this question calls for the subjunctive mood.
    (If you can’t find the answer, muddle the question)


  • 41. Lori  |  May 9th, 2007 at 11:14 am

    Okay, I have another question. A “serious” one.

    It was mentioned somewhere recently that ordering from places such as Amazon do not get the author that count that is so important, but I now live in a town without a bookstore. (Damn Shame) It would take me over an hour to get to any of the closest bookstores, and sometimes life makes it impossible for me to drive that extra hour to get that book I want RIGHT NOW. You know, I’m not even sure any of these small bookstores in these small surrounding towns “count” anyway.

    SO:
    Is there a Win/Win situation here? Can I get it online and have it shipped to me from somewhere that “counts” but still pay a reasonable price? (especially when shipping rates are factored in?)


  • 42. Mary  |  May 9th, 2007 at 11:20 am

    Powells is a real bookstore as well as a virtual one. Would that count?
    www.powells.com/


  • 43. Mary  |  May 9th, 2007 at 11:21 am

    Or better still, Kepler’s. It’s a much smaller independent bookstore AND it allows dogs inside. Very civilized.
    http://www.keplers.com/


  • 44. me  |  May 9th, 2007 at 11:24 am

    Lori, I never knew that about Amazon. Why doesn’t it count? I just heard thenew harry potter has 1 Million pre-orders on Amazon. That should count for something.

    And as for the other…What Grover squeezes is between Me Myself and I. And Grover. Ahem.


  • 45. McB  |  May 9th, 2007 at 11:25 am

    I think the way they tally this stuff is complicated and you can’t really know if any one store “counts” in terms of best seller lists. But to my way of thinking a sale is a sale is a sale. Better to buy from Amazon than not buy at all (remember, they both have pets to feed). And heck I have a few authors that I HAVE to get that way because the stores hereabouts never seem to carry them.


  • 46. Bryan  |  May 9th, 2007 at 12:15 pm

    I use Barnes & Noble because I have a discount card there, I can use that card on books, mags, AND COFFEE!!!!!, and I can still order online and have it shipped to me at home if I choose (though, sadly, not coffee).


  • 47. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 12:57 pm

    me - um, are there a few aliases we don’t know about?

    At first I was going to complain about you (you) dragging me (btuda) into the muck and then I realized I wasn’t I, I was You (not Me) for just that one fun weekend … hey, does anyone else’s head hurt?


  • 48. K.L.  |  May 9th, 2007 at 12:59 pm

    Hi Everyone,
    My official tour of jury duty is over. Yesterday afternoon there was a settlement that occurred just before the trial would have started. So the 40 people who would have been called for that jury pool got to go home. I was in that group, so I got sprung. Now I am wading through e-mails at work and trying to catch up from being gone for 3 consecutive days. You’d think I had been gone a month. Sheesh.


  • 49. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 1:00 pm

    Hmm. I am suddenly reminded of Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” routine …


  • 50. orangehands  |  May 9th, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    ok, that test is hard. i will work on it after my protest. (i’m with dee. let’s all work together…anyone else feel like breaking into song? i feel like i just joined the Brady Bunch or something)

    GP: for shame, is what i say. for shame! (so what’s the answer?)

    i love that routine btuda! cracks me up every time.

    so Grover…never mind. not touching that one.


  • 51. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    Yay, KL! Glad your civic duty wasn’t too bad.

    And the Abbott and Costello comment has nothing to do with jury duty. At least none was intended.

    RE: the Quiz. Question #3 “Who wrote an autobiography of Jesus”
    Is that a trick question or am I just stuck on stupid today? I am a little dense for lack of sleep….picked up a Gaffney book yesterday for the first time and can’t put it down.

    WHEN ARE WE EVER GOING TO HEAR ABOUT LOUIS? It is making me nuts! the GAM status is slipping from those GAM sons of his.

    GP- you are giving me nightmares and cold sweats. Oh the agony…the flashbacks from those awful story problems. The one about the trains leaving the stations and going different rates of speed and when will they meet 99 miles away—-I could NEVER do them, so my answer was always”I don’t’ know but someone call the local paper because when they meet it will be a heck of a story.”
    I knew I would always be wrong, so I thought I could at least be entertaining. :-)

    The Book Lover book mentioned above—–can one order it? Amazon doesn’t have it? Yes, Lori, I live more than an hour away from a REAL bookstore…..sigh…Amazon is my friend.

    Our newspaper had a mother of the year contest. I didn’t win. Now there is a surprise. I voted for Dee and Jent anyways.


  • 54. orangehands  |  May 9th, 2007 at 1:33 pm

    wow, good luck with that SE U.S. CBs.


  • 55. orangehands  |  May 9th, 2007 at 1:34 pm

    LMAO

    maybe it was a trick Q. maybe a lot of these are trick Qs.


  • 56. andi  |  May 9th, 2007 at 2:30 pm

    Hey, that’s not me, Andi - or Andrea if I’m in trouble or talking to my brother, or anyone I met in 1984-1987 when I thought I wanted a more sophisticated persona, although… I do have a bad temper and have been called Hurricane Andrea by my siblings.

    I’m choosing to ignore GP, because I only liked the part about the sequins not the math part, that was just mean. Can’t we all just talk about the pretty stuff?

    Bryan - if you come south, I’ll buy you a coffee at my B&N or Starbucks.

    that goes double for you Wapa, because I know you are coming my way.


  • 57. Bryan  |  May 9th, 2007 at 2:55 pm

    GP,

    since everyone seems to be avoiding the question, your delta is aproximately 2.43137 sequins per minute. And since you didn’t specify the timeframe, I can’t tell you your rate of change, nor can I predict when you’ll be able to sew a sequin instantaneously. Sorry.


  • 58. Bryan  |  May 9th, 2007 at 2:56 pm

    Andi,

    I’ll definitely take you up on that offer. Coffee. Good.


  • 59. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 3:02 pm

    A sequinned delta? Is that anything like a faux glittery hoo ha?


  • 60. me  |  May 9th, 2007 at 3:08 pm

    Btuda: which is faux, the glitter or the hoo ha?


  • 61. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 3:18 pm

    *snort* Let’s hope it’s the glitter. The other is a whole ‘nuther ball of wax …


  • 62. btuda  |  May 9th, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    me - how is it that we always end up on these kind of tangents?

    “Yessiree. This here is genuine faux glittery hoo ha …”


  • 63. me  |  May 9th, 2007 at 3:38 pm

    well, it would explain the “delta”…


  • 64. Lori  |  May 9th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

    Btuda: I (Lori) was going to ask Me (Me) who I (Not Lori, Not Btuda) was, but I see that You (Btuda) cleared that right up. A huh, a huh. (Okay, that was another Seaseme Street reference, but it was very vague and badly done.)

    I understand the concept of a faux hoo ha , but how does one achieve faux glitter? Umm, just asking…it’s not like I’d get some or anything. *sigh* Why do my questions never end up as innocent as they started?

    The buying books thing. I’ve ordered my fair share of books online from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and usually I just go with the best deal ’cause I’m cheap. However, I learned (last year) the importance of authors getting that count, so I’ve tried to support a few of my favorite authors by buying at the appropriate places (And asked at both my Border’s and my B&N if their sales go towards the Bestseller count. I was told yes at both places. They could be lying, but at least I asked, right?)

    Now I’m seriously considering getting a B&N membership. Twenty five dollars a year does not seem like as much money as it used to. Plus, I’ll be ordering more books online, so it’ll probably be worth it in the long run. Right?

    I still wonder if there is a place to find out if your online purchases at various places “count” for anything.

    ok, everyone seemed to have gone past the fact the bryan did math. had anyone looked into the possibility an alien (i’m not saying one of JJ’s family, just an alien) has taken over his body?

    Nope. Bryan is great at math, and facts and statistics. Sometimes he sounds like an Aaron Sorkin character, “28% of CBs hate math, 14% of which are urban dwellers” No, that is not a direct quote. It’s an example. But Bryan seems to like his math. We indulge him because, well, Grover is our favourite muppet. Ma num eh num (was that what your were trying to say, Btuda?)

    OH - don’t forget that Bryan and JenT share a brain. They’re both pretty smart.

    Arrrrggghhh- just nuked what I wrote, and Ctrl Z laughed at me, so….

    Yes, I saw Bryan did math. I just don’t know if he’s correct since I’m not sure what the proof is to prove him correct.

    I like the idea of us all working on the quiz together- then we can donate the books to a library- cuz I don’t see a CB lending library, while being a great idea, actually being a workable reality

    The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years (Paperback)
    by Richard G. Patton
    This novel is the past-life remembrance of one of history’s most charismatic spiritual leaders. Written as a compelling story, it breathes life into the man we have only previously known through religious doctrine.

    The book description is quite wordy- I had copied all of it- then went to get rid of some of it- then nuked everything- now I’m going to go sit in a corner and pout

    MCB - AVERT YOUR EYES!

    If I have 27 dcm&ms and 2 1/4 hours before I leave work, how often can I eat one?

    I’m alternating them with the raspberries that taste like cough drops.


  • 69. orangehands  |  May 9th, 2007 at 8:41 pm

    i think the real question is why are you eating things that taste like cough drops with something as good as m&ms? unless it’s the good cough dr- nope, still don’t see the point of mixing.

    and besides that, how long can you make them last?


  • 70. dee  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:12 pm

    Yes, we should work on those questions together. We should each take 2 questions. it shouldn’t matter which 2, as long as everyone takes 2, right? Even if we get the same question answered 9 times, it should be right. Right?
    No idea, really. My head hurts after reading all the math.


  • 71. orangehands  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:35 pm

    dee: are you talking about the test or the m&ms?

    if for the test:

    i think #4 is either d or e, but not sure.

    #6: isn’t that what the trees are called in The Lord of the Rings? (this is sad; i’ve read the books and seen the movies)

    #7: Heart of Darkness= Apocalypse Now

    #14: a

    #15: d

    #16: well, he wrote a, b, c, and e, so the answer would be d

    #18: a


  • 72. orangehands  |  May 9th, 2007 at 9:58 pm

    and #8 is C
