elmersglue- You crack me up. oh yeah? well you choke me up... or make my voice crack... or something. i was just trying out the copy and paste technique where you put the mouse on the url and you click the left mouse button and the whole thang turns blue. and then i pasted it into a whole nother thread. <G> but seriously dude, there are not many people like you. how many people would go out of their way to sit and write detailed instructions on how to copy and paste to someone who had not even asked? that is effortful! obviously not me. i just made a funnie and went on to other tasks. i posted that on Tekboy's SI Highlights thread because i think it IS a highlight! it's like watching a homeless dude out on civic plaza panhandling... and everyone shrugs or looks the other way and keeps on walkin'; then someone like you walks up, encounters the dude and reaches in and pulls five dollars out of his wallet and hands it to him. not only that, but he stays there for 10 full minutes talking to the smiling homeless bastard who hasn't had a decent conversation with another human being for over 30 days... and he listens to the story of where he's from, why he doesn't have any damn money, how he's trying to get work, how he used to be a cook (framer, clerk, etc.), and listens to him say, "God bless You Brother" about 10 more times than he wants to hear it. and it makes you ask yerself, "why didn't i do that?" "am i that busy?, poor?, cheap?, jaded? that i can't put out ten minutes of effort for someone else once a day or week or month?" i'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty - i'm talking to my SELF! about my SELF! i pass up too many opportunities to extend a hand because it takes effort. and i am glad there are people like you around and in my life that are an example of the effort involved in love and friendship. it will pay you well clappy. you will SLEEP very well and in time, the people around you will grow to be very good people. some of it is rubbing off on me. now i'm off to copy and paste something nice about you. yer fren, -polvie
