Freeform - yeah - proboards probably make a few dollars out of this site - thats no problemo for me as I think they do a great job of hosting and providing forums.
As for adsense from google - youve hit a sore topic Freeform. I loath g oo g1e - I absolutely loath them - they have caused so much greed on the internet that almost every site you go to is plastered with their filthy little dirty adverts.
I would rather chew on silver tin foil for 300 days none stop than help that scum company make more cash.
Read up about what people think about google behind the lines - you may be surprised.
Opinion about that company has changed dramatically in the last 12 months - many website owners hate them - I mean SERIOUSLY hate them aswell.
I wont go into it though.
Cheers Mark

Sands - a good one - but Ive got no beer now due to the pending event No tobacco - no beer. Instead - on Monday next week Im going on a "Tiling Course" - and starting out doing that along with the internet and programming. I reckon tiling kitchens and bathrooms will be good therapy for the silence of "the office". (Plus I wont have to change as many nappies (dipers)

Pho those pics are great to see - thanks for posting them.
Obviously envious of what youve been able to get there naturally instead of in a shop.

Well - smoking causes lung cancer. I would sooner chew on 10 foot of silver foil than have lung cancer. Im at 4 months - or so cos Ive lost count - and I see losing count of how long it is as a good sign. In otherwords I couldnt care less how long it is. Smoking sucked me out of a small fortune - as it does other smokers. Theres a 50 year old dude down the road about 10 houses away. His lot goes like this. LUNG CANCER - LIVER CANCER - KIDNEY CANCER. Thats his lot. But then again one may well say this :- Well I dont want to die old with a zimmer frame and messing my pants and having to have other folk clean up after me - not being able to walk up this hill to get to that shop and whatever. You know what ? - one of the things I hated about smoking the most was the times when a little red hot "glower" would frop on my finger as I typed. I hated that - and now - well - smoking is for smokers - its a pure choice. One of those things like you either do it or you dont - its YOUR CHOICE.

Lizard - I will enjoy the ride - a hard ride or a smoooooth ride are the same - both are good experiences If you want to go to Wales - then do it - its a pleasant place - loads of mountains which are really just large hills - covered in grass and heather. Lakes to skim stones over and places to have a BBQ KrazyD - I cant believe youve been to Aberystwyth - my dads works made the braking systems for the steam train there - and I went there on a "works paid do" with my dads company - god I must have been about 10 years old!!!! - I remember there at Aberystwyth at the end of the line is "Devils Bridge" (well I think it was at the end of the line!!) Small world. No I havent been to Slimbridge - but I think me and Debs will be doing more of the UK over the next five or six years - so I'll add that to the list of places to visit. Doc - Hah - I hope Im not too over emphatic like I can be - but rather cooler about stuff

Hey Doc - the "due date" is July 27th - Cher is right. The little one is kickin her to bits now and I can feel it - no let me correct myself - I can SEE IT!!!! All appears to be smooth - but I dont like counting chickens before they hatch - Im a pessimist I think. Went to these classes where they teach one how to be a good dad during the birth - hell - I think im going to be sharing the nitrous oxide Cheers Gaetzchap - Yup - the better half is doing well and we are both looking forward to Debs having a six month break from work. About 14 weeks left or thereabouts Whoaaa - Holidays are in the lakes and in Wales for a while - looking forward to some UK holidays instead of flying in a plane

I'll give you a prayer Susan. Mark.
Sticky - well - we may need a separate board for stickied items - I think this one is well worth it - definately - I would like to do it for others aswell - maybe group such ongoing topics together in one place.
I cant think there would be too many - so a screen full of topics would be good maybe?
Anyways - enough - another prayer on its way to you Susan - best of luck for 12th of May.

I hope that one day everyone feels like I dooooo - chilled and smooth about things. By things - I mean like this threads issues - they are soooo rough and chipped its not true. I got my brothers telescope and can see the moons craters with it - and all the shadows and what not. I can see ***with my own eyes*** things that many humans down here never get to see. Granted I cannot go to the moon - but the detail is fantastic. I can see the mountains on the moon - and the craters aswell - it is my understanding that no telescope on earth can actually see the American (capital A) Flag on there. But I feel sure it is. Absolutely and TOTALLY 100% OVERRIDING ALL THIS TRIVIAL STUFF REGARDING THAT WHICH IS IN THIS THREAD IS ONE THING (well dudes in my eyes anyway - and im serious). When I look through the telescope at the moon - it moves across my view sooooooooooo smoooooooooooooothly its not true. I cant hold the moon in view for more than 60 seconds before it ***glides*** by and exits my view. It is indeed a beautiful sight to see a large object floating by with such grace and unassuming beauty. Ahhhh - I say to myself - but then that is what the Universe is all about - and small matters down here such as the seemingly terrible things inflicted on our fellow human beings must merely be a trivial matter. However one may say that the pain felt by the individual fighting for his cause at the mere age of 10 years old by throwing stones at troops from another world - yes that pain as his elbows are smashed with a large stone in the wrong direction - OUCH. Well basically Ive seen it all - and so have all of us here. We have friggin seen it all - yeah - we have all heard it all aswell. So when youve seen and heard it all - what do you do? You just smile. And then you sing this. "Always look on the bright side of life" de do de do de do de do de do. "Always look on the bright side of life" de do de do be do be do. Hahhhh - having said this - if anyone ever shut my Queen out of anything - I'd be upset (NOT) Every one of us is here on this planet to HAVE FUN - and NOT BE FRIGGIN RULED. So chill and DONT BE RULED. Well theres my take on it - the double helix of the DNA will probably take my kid somewhere else

Well - the thing is - that this bit of the board is about "Life the Universe and Everything". So really I guess..... - i'll rely on us members to just realise that : non of us really has the answer to a) the original topic b) any topic stemming from the original topic c) any view which is held by another person when we disagree I got wound up here too sometimes - then felt bad the next day and deleted posts. Its best to just be aware that people have different thoughts about stuff. No rights or wrongs - just different. The world would be a boring place if all we had was Carnelian. Can we chill out - without me locking threads - the thing is I dont want to to be honest (lock a thread that is - not chill out - im chilled out already despite the kitchen.)

Xena - I have him in my mind - I hope he is OK - it must be a hell of a trauma to go through for him.
Here thinking.

KD - yeah - got before and after pics so when its done ill put some up. Hey - I dint pick the time - the missus picked it - she said its better done now rather than later when the babys born - tea wise - weve got a camping table and ive now set up a kettle Today I had the gas plumbers in - I know - Yawn - rules and regs wont allow me to modify my OWN home - gotta get someone in at 600 USD per day to run a 22mm pipe from the inlet to the cooker (about 15m of 22mm copper pipe - big deal eh?). I could have done a job far better than the one I got. Makes me want to become a plumber - because all these tossers going round calling themselves plumbers couldnt lay a pipe as straight as I can. Doc - I mentioned it here cos I neeeded to "vent" Cher - baby is coming in three months yet - so plenty of time to chill - after the 3 months - well - arggggggggggggg Rose - the money pit - yes - oh yes - the UK is cowboy city and im slap in the middle at the moment - and UK law says that Its got to be that way. Basically the UK sucks. Stefan - pull your finger out and get that new kitchen in - and gripe like a baby like im doin Mark

No sink - no kettle to steam my lids - no water - no worktops. Im doing the kitchen out from scratch, so ive got two barrels in polish and one new one in 80. The sink should get here on Fri - but will probably be a week before I can address fitting it - as due to new regs Ive got to get majors in electronics to fit the wiring on the plugs and big boys in with a flippin PHD to re-fit the boiler. Rocks in polish - I will probably stop them rolling as I dont want to damage them (some from Cher and some from James) - both done 4 or so days in polish now). Typically bad timing on my part

Couldnt believe it - there was a dead Starling in the garden yesterday. A cat had not had it - it looked too perfect with its feathers intact etc. I couldnt see any shot wounds either. Seek out the Kitty Cannon game - its good fun Biker Cheers Mark (PS I kill nothing and I hate to see things dying - that just about sums it up for me).
