Nope. That's too much like the sticking the tongue out smiley: Plus the tongue is not in the cheek. The one I found on Trillian is perfect. I just can't seem to get a screen capture of it.

Do any of you have Trillian? Under Extra Smileys there is one I think is perfect. I'm trying to get a screen capture of it but it's not easy cause it's on a different computer and VNC is making copy/paste to my desktop difficult.

That's too bad.

You need to pull up your zipper. I can see your hanging chad.

How about if we follow Florida's apparent examples and say, screw the votes? Capricans are the winner!

Don't tempt me too much. It's hard enough to be white hat in a world that's so full of black and gray.

/me considers adding Tim to my blocked list.

Yeah right. As if the sudden shift in the results wouldn't be blamed on me even if I didn't really do it.

I can possibly live with the wrongfully accused part. But sweet and innocent? No way!

I have access to at least seven IP Addresses via my dedicated servers. Deposits to my PayPal account could ensure victory for the Capricans.

Thanks Rose. That was one of the better articles I've read about CT and I think it's on-topic for this thread. I still remember that first shooting pain going up my arm. I made the mistake of going the surgical route. At the time we had one of the best hand surgeons here in Miami so surgery seemed like a good idea. Also there were no medications recognized at that time to help treat CT. This was back in 1991. Unfortunately surgery was a huge mistake. One that I did not repeat on my other hand. For me regular chiropractic adjustments works wonders. To this day my right hand, the one that didn't have surgery, is much better than my left hand; almost normal in fact. I have no feeling in the fingertips of my left hand and the hand constantly has that pins-and-needles feeling. I can only imagine how much worse it would be were it not for the regular adjustments. I'm blessed that my physician is open-minded enough to accept that there is a valid place in the medical world for chiropractors. It also helps that Medicare is very liberal when it comes to paying for chiropractic treatments.

I'm late to the party as usual. I just learned about this thread tonight. I'm definitely with the Capricans! Anyone can be part of a herd. But to be Capricans is something very special. Especially if Capricans somehow turn out to be goat-like and enjoy hanging out on cliffs!

Thanks Rose. In terms of authors on GA just look at my signature for authors I recommend. However keep in mind there is so much more I want to read here but there's just not enough time. I also mentioned Josh Aterovis. If you like detective stories with lots of action and superb character development then please read his books. Start with Bleeding Hearts as it's the first book and introduces you to many of the main characters that appear throughout all his books. Disclaimer: I host his website gratis, but that's only because I enjoy his work so much and he was really in a bad spot with his former website host. It's a bit old, but I really enjoyed listening to, The Night Listener, by Armistead Maupin. He narrated the audiobook himself and did a great job of it. It's based on a supposedly true story (that's been largely proven false) of a young boy dying of AIDS who wrote a book about his life story that most professional authors would be jealous of, which makes it all the more interesting to me. I enjoy audiobooks because I spend a good deal of time in bed due to medical problems and it's so much easier to listen to books in bed than read them. When I read them my arms tend to go to sleep. Finally, if you're a history fan, especially WWII, then the best book I've read recently was, What Stalin Knew: The Enigma of Barbarossa. When it comes to WWII books I prefer ones that get into a great deal of detail regarding conversations and relationships. It helps give me a better insight into the things that really happened. There is so much WWII non-fiction that does a disservice to that awful period in time. I have a beta-reading deadline to meet so please pardon me for my atypical brevity. Yeah, I know. Don't say it. If this was brief you're shuddering at what happens when I really get on a roll. Thanks again for the welcome Rose. It's much appreciated. And a warm welcome to you, too.

That's good advice for all authors to keep in mind. Never push yourself faster than you're comfortable with. If your fans really like what you write they'll be willing to wait until you are happy with the finished product.

Well, it appears I've done my job here for now. I love causing fun trouble. And now I must resume beta-reading Tim's next chapter before people start aiming at him!

Pardon me. Sometimes my imagination winds up taking control of the keyboard.

Perhaps the key to becoming the next king of evil cliffhangers is eating goat dung?

I would never mock such an esteemed member of GA. Think of it as an irreverent display of respect. That's much more in keeping with my style! Oh, and so you can't pick on me anymore I'll get back OT. Is Eric gonna be alright after he does the nasty thing with Steve? Or will Wilde kill them both in a jealous rage? If it's the later then what shall we do to the goat by way of revenge?

Figures. You Canadians are all so polite.

Yes sir, Mr. Millennium, sir!

I would have figured it out eventually! I may be dense at times but I'm not stupid.

OK, you win. I went all the way back to the start of February and you've never posted later than 5:30 PM PST. Usually you don't even post that late.

Oy. I need more caffeine.

Aren't you supposed to be studying or doing something useful?

5:00 PM? Are you claiming that you do your sleeping during the early evening hours? If so I'll have to see if I can catch you posting when you're supposed to be sleeping. One way or another I suspect we'll soon have a busted Benji.
