Welcome byron...
Now... Where is Shelly today? ;)
I havent got any gadgets this year as yet...
I have heard bad things about the iPod, that although it will play many hours of music, the batteries only last a very short time so most of your collection on the machine would go unlistened to. lol
In the new DABS newsletter there is the Creative Jukebox 2, a 10gig personal mp3 player that has a 16 hour battery life, its quite tempting as I have many many many mp3s.
Make that three people... ;) LOL
That's pretty clever Heather, and its the age old coping technique used by bullied and put down people through the ages...
If I do it first and get in there first, then it wont hurt so much...
I still do that - pull myself down, and put my work down, so that when people tear me and my work to pieces then at least I bet them to it.
I write computer games and release them for free on the internet, and cant believe how many people pick faults with it, little niggles and nitpicking - its free for gossakes!
But it still hurts when I have put months of work into them.
Back to the subject in hand - (polite if possible) honesty is the best policy, as in all situations (well most).
Waaaaa! Steve! Nooo! Is that good or bad?
If it's the extra pounds then its my wife's fault for looking after me too well.
When I had my own little flat I could control my diet cause I couldnt cook - but I cant say no to eating something nice of a woman's if it's put in front of me. ;)
Maybe I just need some more exercise... any volunteers to help me work out? lol
The good old red white and blue lick of paint seems to have really done the trick, good stuff, and congrats. Feels like a whole new site, and in a good way.
