Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2006 9:27 am Post subject: Can the snow go away now? |
|
|
I hate to be a grinch, but the snow effect here on the board is making my Mac a bit dispepsic. The hard drive speeds up and down two or three times a minute, lots of the HTML printing is badly smudged until you wipe it with a cursor. I'm sure this isn't dangerous, but I've had the "smudgy" effect on many websites I visit ever since we did the VO-BB Christmas theme last year, and I can't make it go away. Sorry, just being a grump.
Maybe we could go to a Valentine's Day theme. Or in the true spirit of Costco, go for an Easter theme now.

I'm with you, but for different reasons. I'm almost out of Dramamine.

I ventured out shopping with the family...had back surgery 2 weeks ago, so it was indeed an adventure...but went to BJs Wholesale Club yesterday. Darned if I didn't walk in there and see Valentine's Day cards on the shelf. These retailers get more brave every year!!
Happy Early New Year to all (only 3 days early...)

Back surgery? I get to do that next week. I'm having a radio frequency rizotomy. (they're killing some of the nerves in my lower back.) Glad to hear that you are up and around in 2 weeks Jeff. Hope it works out for you and you are out of pain.
(Ok sorry for the minor thread jacking) |

When's Flag Day? arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Geez Bruce, I thought you were going to say it snowed in Phoenix. Given the weather this year, I'd not be surprised. _________________ sitting at #8, though not as present as I'd like to be. Hello!

Is that under AFTRA jurisdiction?
(Good luck and speedy recovery!)

Boy, am I glad you made that comment, Bruce. I thought my new iMac was started to go south. But I soon reealized it was only on the VO-BB site. I can live with it as long as I know it's not the result of a hardware problem.
Besides, I'll take virtual snow before the real stuff. It's much easier to clean off. |

I had a L4/5 laminectomy with a discectomy. Was up walking around the afternoon of my operation, went home the afternoon after. Had bad spasms when I got home, slept in a chair for a week. Feel relatively good now, back to work next weekend (Im a Physician Assistant in another life)
Good Luck next week, much less invasive for you. You'll do great, I am sure

Good Grief!
I was going to axe it on New Year's but I'll do it tonight.
Sheesh-- you people.

I rather like the snow theme, as it's the next best thing to the real flakes, falling everywhere but Utah and Maine (and Arizona), apparently.
And I won't get into the Mac v. PC thing as related to this...

It's a processor speed thing. It speeds up my Mac, but I don't get the smearies.
