Oh no, not one of those 200 IQ people!:stunned: In college at age 14?! Yikes! I'm heading for the hills. :escaping2::escaping2::escaping2: You must be related to the royals. :nod::) (tis' ok - I'm happy for you.:hug:)

There was a pinball wizard in a Who song. MMIX though refers to the Mark Model 9, a robot that levitates. The Mark 10 was better however, and more reliable.

What is what? Nevahmind! :laugh3:

I haven't a clue! pardon Moi! :laugh3: (and besides Really, if Dee is like 4, then if she's been off the site for a while, she was like 2 when she joined, which is approximately impossible) Basically, exercise, eat right, and be happy. or, 3 parts sunshine, 2 parts rain, 1 part love.

Hm... well, there are ways...:wink3: Are you creamy and healthy? :wideeyed::p

.."because you were an Island to Discover." :mudkip::sunny: And the first Island to Discover is... Alcatraz

Kaboom in Khartoum. Bad joke, but I couldn't help it. :lol: How About... Juarez, Mexico:sombrero: Si!

I'm not expired! I'm fresh, wholesome Guernsey milk! :nice: Do Guernsey or Jersey Cows Produce the Better Milk? Better milk from better cows, that's the future. :daisy::sunny:

Johannesburg, South Africa. :cool:

:laugh3: Just random musings, I can't understand it all either! > Hey, I was a failing college student once, then I got accustomed to the university setting, took a wee bit fewer courses, and really buckled down - my grades went wayy up! So, just give it some time, you'll turn it around! Or, if college isn't your cup of tea, there's a million other areas to go into. You must be a renaissance woman, if you've got too much going on!!;) Nice to meet you Diana. Princess Diana one day perhaps?:crown:

how can anyone be bored on the board??:drummer::wacko: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, Ok! Pardon Moi. Marco Polo. Gotcha. ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If we could all agree on reforming the process, then some truly wonderful things would happen - it's more a matter of setting down fair ground rules than who we vote in, though that matters too. Representation happens when we level the playing field. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could that be possible?:laugh3: Mark left his mark here, seems likely you could be Mark posing as Mark II. Which Mark are you then? The Mark II? Mark IV? HAL? Don't turn off the oxygen HAL, we will be needing that! :P

What about blimp seating? Any real sky-box tickets??;)

Post and post until you're toast!:P Or as Bill likes to put it, "Plant until you're planted" :laugh3: We're all part of the space-time continuum, strings and bubbles and membranes and all that good stuff. So whatever one does is part of the fabric of space-time. Weave well!;) Mark, you moved to Italy? For real??

Hm, I get to fourth here??:rolleyes: or second, however one sees it./ Loosers? My goodness, that's no way to win points on here! We;re all winners-to-be, just like you, you wait and see!:P About me: I'm a dreamer, a wanderer, a lover, a farmer, a gardener, a science nut, an eco-philosopher a rounder. A renaissance man. Right now I'm doing addition plans for a kitchen, all things including the fung shway. I am part of the whole, engaged with others but a free thinker as well. A Scorpio in an Aquarian age. And you? What's your zest in life? ~~~~:sunny:~~~~~~~~~

Many Magical Interesting Kisses? MMIXXXX? M theory, which is W theory, which you'll have to go figure out on your own? Many Magical Waterfalls In X? :sunny::flutterby:

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

I know absolutely nothing about what's available, I just wanted to post here. :laugh3::P

I was thinking all things great are made up of all things small and all things small are part of all things great. From the many, one, but also from the one, many.

Yes, you're better off not borrowing the money, unless it's essential to keeping vital services connected which you rely on for work searches, and you haven't any other way (local library internet if it's close by, etc.). If that is the case, I would only borrow from a reputable lender who is reasonable (credit unions come to mind here), and only for the amount necessary just to get up and running. Otherwise, you'll probably wind up like we Americans - in debt up to your eyeballs, and sinking fast!:laugh3: (it's true! all too often) Loan offers are often highly profitable for the lender, we pay for their 18% profit margins. Partly the problem is low wages for workers in both the UK and the US (leading the world in wage disparities). I'd recommend frugality first, as I'm in a similar bind myself. If you do have some work that you can line up in the construction trades, some employers or customers will be willing to advance you a little money to get by with, if they know you and believe that you'll get to work and pay it right back right away or deduct it from earnings, so that's one option. Another might be to sell some belongings which you own and which are not of any great value either as tools, family heirlooms, and the like. Sometimes you'll discover things you really never use nor want and someone else wants them, so there's another option. Lastly, I would shop around for a better value in your services - here, I found out that unless one pays attention to the ads, the internet provider keeps charging a high rate, yet offers great deals to newcomers, and it's worth checking up on the offers, see if they'll offer them to you. Also, if you're not making many calls, you could switch to a pay-per-call basis for long distance, or try the internet long-distance services. Drop the frills, extra fancy cable/satellite packages, etc. - frugalistas rule Brittania, so should you!;)

Song writing is dependent somewhat on whether a singer is trying to use their voice more as an instrument or as a poetic device. Just my thought on the matter. Beats or beat poets! What would Jack Kerouac say? :P

11:52 on my out-of-synchish clock, and focusing my el-cheapo computer cam on a large steel nut. :wacko:
