There are no 'new' emoticons in these forums. You can however link to graphics else where on the web which is what a lot of people do.
Unless you're talking about the chat room then I haven't a clue....
I agree with the suggestions so far in trying to pinpoint what the problem is.
Try and see if you can remember if you are loading anything (opening a program) and how long your PC has been running for already.
As there isn't enough information been given back to us we can only suggest what is happening.
It 'sounds' like (educated guess) that it is indeed the graphics card as it is affecting mainly the display only. You may have to check and see if you've updated the drivers for the said card, or if you've installed anything new lately before it started to happen.
How long has it been doing this? How many beeps does your PC give before it shuts down/restarts? Does it happen after a specific ammount of time using the PC? Does it happen when you load/run a specific program? What operating system are you using (windows xp, vista)?
Let us know how the card changing goes and try and answer as best you can if more problems happen.
They do say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why do people still not believe that?
Missy, I feel for whoever happens to be standing between you and your jaffacakes.
Please note, I am NOT a doctor. I am speaking through personal expereince and a love of food and the energy it gives you.
I'm a diabetic and recently been told off for my own diet by my doctor. Being a Type1 you often find that your whole life is one long diet on what to eat and what you can eat in moderations.
Some good advice on diets would be, don't follow any of the 'fad' ones that starve your body on certain things (like fats, sugars, proteins, carbohydrates etc).
Breakfast:
Something like a bowel of cereal in the morning will help your body wake up and start using energy. I suggest a high in carbohydrate one like Shreddies, Wheatabix or other things like that. Avoid the ones with extra sugar placed on top (frosted) as the nutrients in these foods are harder to break down. Your body will work twice as fast and hard for the little goodness these have to offer. The result will be high blood sugar quickly, sudden drop with hunger comming back to combat the drop in energy you will get. You will end up wanting more food when it could be avoided.
Pre-Lunch:
If your like me and have an early enough breakfast (8am or before), you might find your getting hungry again at 11am or so. Some fruit like an apple, banana, orange etc is perfect for around here. It gives the body enough to do before it actually comes to lunch time in a couple of hours.
Lunch:
Have anything you like. Obvisouly don't over do it by having two to three plate fulls. I usually go for a bowl of soup and some wholemeal bread. Wholemeal and brown are easier for the body to use than the white. I also have sandwiches (brie, grape and salad), Bacon and egg (not every day). It all depends on how hungry I am and what I really fancy at the time.
Afternoon snacks:
About three hours after lunch you might start getting hungry again. This is known as the 'fasting' period. Three horus after every meal. Its what you eat around these times to tide you over to the next bigger/main meal. Eating something small like toast/fruit/Salad will stop you feeling slow and lathargic at any point in a day.
Dinner:
Again, anything you like. I'm a fan of home cooked meals. Gravey chicken, red meats etc. Have what ever you feel like, just don't have more than a plate full (ie two plates) every day. If you want deserts then it is best to eat them after the largest meal of your day. This is because your body is already working off the food and the extra sugars will quickly go without leaving you hungry later.
Evening:
I don't tend to eat in the evening so can't really comment. If I get hugnry before bed I get a small bowl of cereal again and that is far more than I can handle at that time.
Hope that helps you understand what a balanced diet should consist of.
Chocolate fondu does it for me. I get an overwhelming urge to dip a nipple in it and lick it off. Usually have lots of vanilla friends around when I have one so I just make do with the little marshmallows instead.
Why is it only measured for a single spurt? Perhaps we could play hotch scotch? You'll have to save the biggest spurt for last then.
I've hit my own chin by accident once. We did have a good giggle about it at the time. The problem was, I had a goatee at the time and it was really awkward to wash all of it out....
I often find it the other way around. They send me the pictures first without me asking and not demanding any from myself.
Personally, if they were going to play the trust card, I would ask to talk to both of them on the phone to make sure that you are indeed talking to a couple and also ask them to describe themselves in great detail. Just that humiliation might knock them down a couple of pegs.
Why is there an option to hide your faces or write all over the image, yet still don't trust people to show them.... Have to agree with Wench, probably mingers.
You have a lot more patience and leeway over a cheaper product than the expensive one. If a cheap one stopped working after a short while I would still kick up a fuss and demand a replacement as the same with the expensive ones.
I don't hold that view when it comes to buying the ladies toys however. It seems quality has to come first when it comes to those....
Replace your mailbox with a shredder. Works wonders for those pesky bills too.
I've only recently watched 'The butterfly effect' and it was really moving. I like to get really into every movie and well up near the end of most films. Another that comes to mind is Pass it forward. Never liked the little kid all the way through it but it still got me.
Its usually the wallpaper that cracks me up. Lime green cushions with a floral design wall. You just know they are genuine because you couldn't get a staged shot like that I'm sure.
But there are two blokes in your avatar Jags. One is kneels before you with two hands cleary visible. Who's is the third hand that is creeping up the bottom of your leg there?
I suppose this is like a 'fly on the wall' kind of thing. I'm quite a random person when get a little drink down me, especially so when it comes to typing or camming.
Oooo, I'm finally being used again. Chatting to that lovely lady and playing some nice rock music over messenger. Oh ho, whats the owner doing now? He's not looking too good. Looks like he's having a fit or something, moving really quickly. Yes he must be. I can't believe he's actually doing that infront of her. She was so innocent too. I'm ashamed to witness such movements. How could anybody do air guitar to somebody they've only talked to online.
Other times, while a bit tipsy, in a deep conversation the other person would say that they were thirsty. Without a moments hesitation I would then proceed to pore beer down the camera and asking if they could taste it. Now this doesn't sound like a bad thing, but this has happened (all to the same person) before and not just with drink. I've tried feeding after eight mint ice cream, curry and even some fish and chips through the cam before.
Whats the daftest thing you've done or seen over a web cam. Did they know they were doing it?
Its not very often you can say 'Big brother internet spiders' in one sentance often.
You'll have to have words next to the image ie. forum name, email address, forum text or just the image name to make a random and often small image to be recognisable in real life.
You can take avatar pics from anywhere and they don't have to be of yourself. Take heart that your bottom pic could of been anybodies.
The same can be said by any forum post you've ever made! Big brother internet spiders are watching you......
Depends on what size garden and the surrounding green you have. Vibrations are usually the best deterrant as previously stated. Some also have slight electric shocks while others prefer to attempt to place metal sheeting all around the border of your garden.
Moles are very territoral, and are often found alone. Its really only the nake mole rat found in africa that huddle together. The Townsend Mole (dig the most and cover the largest area) are the hardest to control.
Best of luck with your new found friends.
Mole.
Corned beef, mashpotateo and pour a load of veg soup over it all. One of my favorite meals
I think its to do with your private photo's section. Only the people you've added as friends can view them in your gallery.
It makes sense but not 100% sure yet. Calista hun, how many pretty pictures can you see on my profile?
Please do tell. Where have you both been hiding? Jag's cleave is not THAT large.
Its quite simple Lost. You PING when you need to PING
double tapper there ;)
