Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

[Evo]

Instead of the orange headband, I'd like to "glow" or maybe have a sparkler. Or maybe a wig like Borek's..YEAH, I want a Borek wig!

 

[zoki85]

Seems like Evo's ready for a brand new start.:D
27 000 posts? Meh, who cares:p

 

[Borek]

YEAH, I want a Borek wig!

 

[Evo]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Everyone has to admit the wig is much better than the bandana.

spell check keeps trying to change bandana to banana

The only one that has had an affect on me is Monique's avatar, she has such a beautiful eye, (I just accept the thought that it is her real eye) the banner is just too close to the blue.
As for the banner, it is so much help, maybe something as simple as a big star.:)

I think it's photoshopped. Though, I'm pretty sure it's her eye. We're friends on FB.

Though, when I wear my blue PF t-shirt, people tend to avoid me. I think hazel eyes reflect what you are wearing.
Blue eyes are just too intimidatingly sexy.

She also shares some of the most incredible videos in the world.

OmCheeto; You win my "Best FB Share Award of the Decade", with that. ps. It only took 4 hours to download. Fortunately, I had many other things going on today while waiting. pps. Don't be afraid to share more of these videos.

ps. Tom Mattson and Cyrus are doing well. And Moonbear should be landing in Honolulu about now. She's starting a long overdue vacation.
pps. Scratch that. She landed in Honolulu 29 minutes ago. 82°F.
ppps. I do believe that it is "I hate Moonbear week".

Thanks Om,
I might just be infatuated with the reflection of the little white puppy dog at the bottom of the blue:) ?
My computer is very slow to play the link, I'll get to it later.

As I posted, it took 4 hours to download that one. Her second one took 6 hours.
You simply have to learn how to adapt to such adversities.
I just clicked on the links, then mowed the lawn, did some laundry, cooked some food, ate, washed the dishes, watched 10 minutes of video, then repeated.
It was quite worth it though.
Oh, this is a funny coincidence. He spent 28 years at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I almost went there last month.

I haven't been following this thread because once you get behind there's no point in trying to catch up, so I won't even know if anyone responds to this unless I'm either quoted or "liked" for it and get an alert.
Something just happened that raised a question. If you do something really stupid and nobody ever knows about it, can you be embarrassed or merely regretful? The dictionary definition of embarrassment doesn't actually make that distinction, although it does say that to embarrass is for one person to make another feel that emotion. It makes no mention of one imparting it upon oneself.

Will you go EE when you enroll ?

I wasn't planning on enrolling. There was a science fair. Greg, Anna, dlgoff, and Greg's Mom were there! Probably a good thing I didn't go. I would have hugged them all to death.

Anyways, two things:
a. I'm too old for university. (I think my brain was full by the time I was 18. Ever since then, I've had to push something out to put something new in.)
b. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_dropout_billionaires , so getting a degree would get in my way of becoming a trillionaire.

I'm not aware of anyone on PF that I know in person.
I have been trying to work up the nerve to take a 10 minute drive and attend a "brown bag lunch" with Steven Weinberg and the theory group at UT:) give them a real contrast of reality:D.

The idea of extending my education (formally) has dimmed a bit, think I'll just put it in the hands of PF:D

b. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_dropout_billionaires , so getting a degree would get in my way of becoming a trillionaire.

I dropped out during the second year of my Computing Science course at Imperial College London in 1975, mainly because I was fed up with a lack of access to computing! I'd previously worked for IBM for several months a pre-university student, with a "green screen" on my desk, so I was used to sub-second mainframe access. (It's amazing how much I have to put up with which is nowhere near that fast 40 years later).

I immediately got a job with a software house writing systems stuff for IBM mainframes (well, actually, the job offer came before I decided to drop out) and for some years I was admittedly doing a lot better than many of those who stayed on the course.

Some years later, after being rejected for a better job apparently for the lack of a degree, I decided to work for one through the UK Open University (and eventually got first class honours in Physics and Maths) but by the time I finished it, IBM had already signed me up as an experienced programmer, and I've been stuck there ever since, with them gradually pulling the rug from under their loyal employees.

Yes, it seems, but as a dropout, I find it hard to earn a living or any decent job to make ends meet.
I want to go back to school but there have always been things I need to do before thinking about going back. :D

If the option exists, I agree with you. I posted a Readers Digest version of my story a while back. You don't even want to get me going on the full version. I don't like rehashing the story, as people always want to poke holes in it.

int main ()
{

string str;
do {

cout << "Them; Well, it sounds like you just weren't applying yourself. Did you try such and such?";
cout << "Me; Yes. And here's why that didn't work. Blah blah blah. Do you have any more rhetorical questions?";
getline (cin,str);​

} while (str != "no");​

}

For some reason, It always ends up being an infinite loop.

If the option exists, get a degree.
If it isn't in the stars, try and make lemonade.
It worked for me.

I get PO'd at myself if I do something stupid that causes me extra work. I only get embarrassed if other people are aware of it.

You should have. Really nice facility and lots of students. IIRC ~50k undergrads.

If you've done something stupid here, someone's watching. Just sayin'.

I think it's photoshopped. Though, I'm pretty sure it's her eye. We're friends on FB.

Haha! I just notice this post today (after following a link on full brains). Yes it's photoshopped in two ways: everything except the pupil is converted to grayscale and the skin is blurred to make it an even texture. Whether it's my eye or not, or whether the previous one was, who's to know...

My insurance company wrongly billed a family member and, before we could dispute it, charged my credit card. They told me two months ago that I would get a refund but I had to wait 6 - 8 weeks. Today I was told that no refund was issued and that it would have to be 'resubitted'. Time for the nuclear option with their billing department...

A man-made black hole for sure, good luck, you'll come out with scar tissue I think:(
