Sounds a bit like the great aluminum heist of 1853... :P

This brings another thought to my mind.. as we reach an ever dizzying level of complexity in our lives, I wonder if someone could invent a tiny flat device that could be installed into ID's or applied to keys and other important things, where one could press a keypad in a room and the lost item would start to 'beep' or at least show up on a touchpad or other device. Has this already been invented, and if so, what's holding it up? Where did my extra set of car keys go??:confused: Anyhow, the idea I had in mind was to come up with something super-thin, piezoelectric with a flat super-capacitor on the back, flat antenna, ultra-thin solar cell - the ideal spring peeper for finding those lost items..

Last week? I missed it! :P You can run away from 'things', but they have a habit of catching up with you?:escaping2:

Cooling off to 75F, clouding up here!

Looks a bit spooky with all those scary monsters, but this one too. :) If only I could turn back time, spin the clock's hands backwards.. Tiramisu, what is that?? How many alligators in the typical Florida pond?:mudkip:

Yes. Does moss grow fat on a rolling stone?

White Rose. :daisy: Favorite desert food.:p

Tanks again for the good cheer - you made my day so much brighter.:sunny: Patience and perseverence pays off - but in then end, the puc gets gobbled. :P True, there is more to life, like all those other fun games! ;) Gotta skeddatle - time here in the brarie' is limited, enjoy those energy beans!

:laugh3: You cheered me up, and don't sweat the small stuff - it took me oodles of wasted time getting good enough at pac-man to reach the 77K level on the beanie version - it's just practice Miss Mags, you'll get there if you keep at it, but there are other things in life, so just enjoy!;)

Hardly a robot, just a humbled man tis all.:embarrassed:

I'm here, though I'm not sure if I count as an anybody anymore..:confused:

I have no clue what you're saying!

January-ish, with the usual dryness and quite icey in the driveways after the partial thaw and now cold. Makes for interesting bicycle riding!

Time for Einstein Express: When it absolutely positively had to be there yesterday!:scholar: (hey, it works for the US Congress....:laugh3:)

Happy Birthday Coldplay!:) (and my sincere apologies for being such a grump - truly uncalled for.) Anyhow, YAY!!:huskyhug:

Hey, performances are fun! What sort of song and dance routine do you do?:rolleyes::)

World to baddfx, who art thou?:P How sassy are you today??:D

Hello Nara! I'm Chuck, glad you could join in here!!:) I've seen a little bit of life in Iran on LinkTV, interesting country you come from!

I agree - seems that libel doesn't even exist here, a good point, and one that could change the nature of the election exchanges, so that slanderous and libelous communications are not allowed to pass right by - that would really help! I will compose further then..;) I have a friend who narrowly lost his bid for office because his opponent slandered him - he won the court case ( a settlement actually), but the election results put his opponent into office based on false acusations..:thinking: Equal rights for all, seems the way we need to go! I often wonder if by making a legal form for marriage we're making a mistake - better to call any beneficial arrangement between people a partnership under the law and leave marriage as a separate arrangement as per one's own religious traditions indicate - a truer separation of church and state.

Article I. Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States shall include that Congress shall have the power to provide for organizing, staffing, and appropriating money for a department of Peace. Peace on Earth and Good Will to All Humankind.:santa2::hat: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

bummer! My home computer fails to recognize my admin. password, so I'm in the library here using this computer - oh well, such is life, glad you got yours up and running Suzan:)

I just think it's possible for paradise anywhere, given some good will throughout the planet. We can do it!:)

Mongolia needs water, and I've got a plan.. plus, hot tubs, tunnel gardens, and really cool balloon rides. :jester:

:rolleyes:Probably a Youper' then. They like to delegate the pasty making to those in the mitten.:P > IMHO, Obama, since we need a supreme court nominee to rule right on regulating the money flowing unabated into politics!

:) Have a wonderful day!! :)
