I have been gossiped about and, sadly, I've been the gossiper. Not a good hobby for anyone on either side. BTW, I followed your link to the Holly Lisle website. Thank you! I think I have a new hero/mentor for wrting.
Stupendous Man: "Freshman"...I forgot that one! I see where you get your nick.
Dr. Nick - we missed you at the SkinArtistry class too! I didn't go last week either; I'm not sure they had one 'cuz of the holiday and all. I'll be there on Wednesday though! Good luck with your resolutions, they are all worthy goals!
Thanks everyone! I shall leave out Apprentice (WOM makes a good point) but Greenhorn, Neophyte and Tenderfoot are still fair game. Free "boots" for anyone who wants one!
Well, I'm bummed too. My boss is a TOTAL slave-driver.
Perhaps the phrase "hit list" will be next on their...you know.
Thanks! Stay tuned for the rest of my 857 part introduction to skinning.

ParaTed2K: Ah, semantics again, but you are correct. While the dictionary definition of censorship does not include the government, I admit that true censorship requires some kind of force or it is merely spitting in the wind. In fact, the makers of the list bring up many good points. How can a wardrobe malfunction? What I object to is not the fact that such a list exists, but that those who objected to the word "blog" didn't really bother to find out what blogging is (or perhaps they knew an
A breath of fresh air, I hope. I'll be thinking of you.
For that elucidating article I give you a resounding huzzah!
What in interesting question. Most often I hear people ask what they would like to hear God say to them, rather than what their excuse will be. I suppose a simple shit-eating grin won't cut the mustard there, eh? It'll probably end up being some variation on "you're God, YOU figure it out!" At which point I'll be hurled into the lake of fire, there to spend eternity mulling over better ways to address the diety, where I went wrong in life and why bell-bottoms were ever in fashion.
Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan has released its annual list of words that it would like to see “banished”. This is in no way an actual banishment of the words or phrases, but rather a list that nominees feel are overused, improper or just plain useless. The list contains phrases like “zero percent APR financing”. Truthfully, the phrase could be much more simply stated as “no interest”. Other phrases topping the list are: “Wardrobe malfunction”<
That...was freaking...hilarious. I don't know whether to thank you or cry because the song is stuck in my head. Either way, Happy Holidays!
Nels23 - I am sorry that you are living in a hell. I think the point of this conversation has more to do with the fact that some of the skinnier movie and TV stars might give young girls the wrong impression: that being skinny is the only "right" way to be. Not true! What most women want is to be happy with themselves, whether they are underweight or overweight or anywhere in between. It is often true that we bring much of our own discomfort on ourselves when we buy into the idea that there is a
Danny you can e-mail me too...or not; as you wish. I appreciate the honesty in your posts. I've always been afraid to say what I really feel, and then my blogs end up like little news reports, devoid of emotion. At least you don't cover it up. [email protected]
Excellent advice, thank you!
Thanks for your input! Happy Holidays!
With regard to your dignity being affected by liking Harry Potter: I used to work in the Neuroscience department of a major university and you would be amazed at the number of Ph.D.'s axiously awaiting the next book. Plus, anything that gets people to read is a good thing! I, too, shall be pre-ordering my copy from Amazon.com.
This should be a warning to criminals and potential victims alike. Don't go making arrangements to meet just anyone. Brrr.
Some of you may have seen my previous article regarding criteria for rating skins Link . In it I talk about what I like to see in a good wallpaper or skin. It occurs to me that it’s not very nice to talk about swooning over the various downloadable (and free!) goodies that WinCustomize has to offer without sharing a few of my personal choices. Here they are: <B
Hurrah! I applaud your choice of single-ness. Now, if only all of those who are trying to make you feel bad about being single would read and be advised by your article...
Ooops! I meant she was in her car when she was rear ended! *sheepish grin*
I don't know what's going on on the roads these days. My friend told me she was rear-ended four times on the road by a guy who apparently thought she was driving too slow. Chill out, people! And let the bikers have their room. Sheesh.
Recently I got a job at Stardock. You’ll note I’m a moderator on this site, but only because I need to have access to post things on a regular basis. I’m new to the whole WinCustomize community and to the concept of skinning. I’m actually lucky I am able to turn on my computer and get on the Internet at all – I’m the opposite of a “power user”. I’m not sure the term “newbie” even applies to me, as someone had to put their hand over mine on the mouse an
