Today | Me

[sweetliberty]

"In the meantime, I bought a couple of heaters to keep the chill out. They are just amazing. Very quiet and surprisingly effective with temperature control options and remote controls."

I just love mine. It has saved me a bundle..and works very well!

It is freezing here today. If this was Colorado, I'd be looking for snow by now!

[nicmarlo]

I do well to stay on the danged thing

Same here; I tried a few times, many year ago, but I was just as bad on that as I was a skate board. *grins*

[sweetliberty]

"When I was much younger (ahem)....I used to love watching the guys surf those Hawaiian waves (on t.v.)."

What's age got to do with it? Some of these Polynesian men are just GORGEOUS! And they've got some amazing moves...not just on the waves! Get your mind out of the gutter guys! Ever seen some of those dances? Talk about mesmerizing! Here's a little treat for you ladies.

Now let's see if this will come out right....Warning, ladies....cold shower may be needed after that last one!!!!!

Hawaiian Fire Dance

Fire/knife Dance

Dancer of the year

[Lakeshark]

Those wave pictures are from Tahiti.

They are one of the most difficult surf breaks in the world and perhaps the most physically punishing if you get wiped out there.

[Lakeshark]

That’s just not something I’d ever have been brave enough to try

Cardy just posts pics of it, so don't feel bad.........

[nicmarlo]

hehehe

[nicmarlo]

I can’t watch all your links...but, the fire dance...that reminds me of the time I went to Hawaii and saw a fire dance during a Luau. Very cool (no pun intended)!

[Lakeshark]

Sufing is the most thrilling sport in the world.....

Nothing like it.

Period.

And yes, it can be thrilling just watching.

[celtic gal]

Your waves pictures are simply fabulous. How did you do this?They are award winners.

[nicmarlo]

Yes...but, now, it just kinda “hurts” if I watch too long.

hehehe

[sweetliberty]

Even if you don’t watch the others, watch the LAST one. OMG! If that one doesn’t leave you breathless...you’re dead!

[nicmarlo]

Not only breathless but exhausted, lol!

[Mo1]

Actually I have, Pup .. I’m getting better at it too ... I’m even baking homemade bread

Tonight I made blueberry scones

[catpuppy]

Yum. Nice going, Mo. I shall add your table back onto my list of places to visit for dinner when I become destitute.

[catpuppy]

Shhhhhhh ... I am not too far from Auburn territory. One cannot be too careful.

[Cardhu]

I did not notice your last post on the previous thread...

That is simply gorgeous. How do you post pictures on the site and how do you watermark your pictures> Apple has a new watermark program..and am witing for the leopard to come out tomorrow..I have a new macbook pro 17 inch widescreen I want to use for photos..got the laptop last summer and it take some getting used to after microsoft though I do have my XP still...

Here is how you post a pic on here:

Upload them to a hosting site like ImageShack, which is free, and copy and paste the URL as shown below:

< center > < IMG src="paste your URL here" width="800" height="600" >

no spaces before or after the < and > signs.
Width and Height are optional.

As for watermarks, it depends on your specific Photo program.

I did not take the wave pics CG, I extracted them from a PowerPoint Presentation as shown in my next post.

[Cardhu]

Thanks for the info Sharky.

[Cardhu]

A PowerPoint Presentation with music.

When it starts, right click and set to full screen.

If the music stops after the first slide just back up to the first slide and it should then run OK.

Tornados, Waves and Lightning

[Lakeshark]

I sent some pics to BQ of surfing in Mexico a couple of years ago. She might still have them, but who knows. It only hurts when the waves are huge, or if you get bounced off the bottom. It takes a while to learn, but once you do learn it's generally more fun than anything you've ever done.

Not much surf on Lake Cayuga.....

:-)

[Lakeshark]

No prob Cardy, since you were obviously over your head, I just thought you needed some help....

:-)

[nicmarlo]

hehehe

No, there’s not much surf on that lake. : )

[Borax Queen]

Yeah, baby!! I saw some of those Hawaiians in person last year... :)

[Borax Queen]

I’m not sure - I might - but those were awesome pics!

[Borax Queen]

*a-hem* - two or three seconds apart

[Borax Queen]

...proving we are twins though not the same person...

[nicmarlo]

haaaaaaa

good morning, BQ!

[nicmarlo]

I truly only have a fear of heights.

Except when I was in the ocean, then IIRC, I was afraid of huge waves. : P

[Sundog]

Very nice slide show.

When I was growing up in Minnesota my brother and I also watched sprites going from storm clouds up to the stratosphere, but they weren’t named as such then. We would just sit outside after dark and watch red and green explosions on the horizon.

[Lakeshark]

those were awesome pics,

You just liked the one of the surfette who was hitting on me.......

:-)

[Lakeshark]

I was afraid of huge waves

And the critters who inhabit below the waves......gotta watch out for them.....

:-)

[nicmarlo]

them sharks??? we always have to watch out for them!

[Lakeshark]

When we're snorkelling, we like looking back.......

Specially if your bathing suit is nice.......and small.......

[Borax Queen]

perv

[sweetliberty]

"perv"

Nah....just a man. Now, if he liked little bitty swimsuits on men....well, I guess then he'd be posting at that other place.

[Lakeshark]

A riddle:

Why is it so late and yet the shark is posting in daylight?

[nicmarlo]

Because you aren’t there. : )

[nicmarlo]

hehehe

She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny
yellow polka dot bikini....

[Lakeshark]

Showing off again are we?

Harumph, and I get called a perv......

:-)

Roman toilets in Villa Casale, Sicily

[sweetliberty]

Good morning, Cardy. I’m fixin’ to venture out here in a little bit. Looks sunny out, but it feels cold in the house. Supposedly it is 53 degrees. Not exactly a heat wave.

[restornu]

On Sunday, November 4 (the first Sunday in November) at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States. This year, Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer than last year with the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005.

The Act, which extends Daylight Saving Time by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, is expected to save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours.

No they haven´t and that poor girl was told to put on more weight for the Miss World competition as they are trying to promote a healthy body for young girls.

She doesn´t look that thin to me.
