I feel bad that I never have any of these problems. Maybe cuz I'm on a Mac?

Get rid of Flash. I'm on a Mac, had that same problem, uninstalled Flash and it stopped. Now I have a Firefox add-on which gives me Flash whenever I want it to...meaning it's not activated unless I activate it to play clips or something.

Yes, my Dad went downhill fast, with lung cancer. The doctor punctured the lung with out cancer during sedation. He lived only a short time after that.

That's really awful, I'm so sorry that happened. So was the doctor trying to remove the cancer?

Edit: I saw your other post about the malpractice. I was going to ask about that as well. But yes, what difference would it have made if she won? Unless the doctor was not a good doctor to begin with.

@Wrangler-Rick As you can see, the BAH being gone does little to improve the view of the Chinese Theater when a stage is there...

Someone else who uses a Mac AND Firefox? I'm not alone!

I don't know why the corner of the house with the chimney reminds me of a prison

Oh my.
Maybe we should have done a background check on the clients...

@MOXOMUMD, I think this is my favorite of all the great photos you posted!!!!

You had a wonderful experience , and I'm so glad for you. I would love to see an authentic pow wow. Hubby and I both have Native American grandparents. On one of his jobs, while working for the Navaho Nation, he was asked to attend a ceremony in the sweat lodge. With the tribal leaders.

I went to a sweat lodge on a trip to Manzanillo - they call it a temazcal. I loved it! So invigorating and relaxing at the same time.

Yes, us creative types definitely need our libations...!

Speaking of which, although this definitely isn't everyone's style, here's an early version of a 3-D model for one of our clients homes I worked on last week...

I like it! Can you build me one, too? I'll pay you in libations.

I just watched the premiere of Blunt Talk with Patrick Stewart. I must preface this by saying I already loved Patrick before, now I love him even more. The show looks like it will be great in subsequent episodes.

Oh, is he hosting the show? What network is it on? I love Patrick Stewart! I got to see him do a one-man Christmas Carol several years ago - it was amazing.

 

[donaldtoo]

Love that silly flick...!

It's actually a scripted show where he plays a news anchor named Walter Blunt. It's on Starz.

DEAL...!!!

That would be so cool if he was a news anchor in reality - I'd actually watch the news then! He just makes everything sound good.

 

[catmom46]

DEAL...!!!

I better start stocking up at Costco then!

According to a flyer my town put out, the Department of Public Words is getting a new trash removal system.

Are they hiring this guy instead?

I also have a Mac at work and we're not supposed to use Firefox due to security issues. Which is fine cuz I prefer Safari.

 

[catmom46]

Oh yeah, I see it now. I kinda like it - gives it a tough image. None of the other houses will mess with it.

Seriously!? FF is one of the most secure browsers! I wonder why they think it has security issues...
But I don't want to start a browser war, so I'll just end here.

I very rarely drink...usually only on New Years, or when I'm on vacation I like to drink wine coolers as they are not available here. But I also like to drink mud-slides at applebees when I'm in the states, and Orbiting Oreos looks right up my alley.

You sound like my DWifey...
She drinks about the equivalent 5 or so glasses if wine a year.
Boy howdy, do I ever (although not so much anymore) take up her slack...!

Yeah, I don't know the whole story, but our organization has several complex data systems and applications, and I think the other part of the problem is being able to run them on multiple browsers. For some reason Firefox was the least stable/compatible.
