Reply to Thank Goodness It's All Over And Things Can Go Back To Normal in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I didn't follow the election as closely as I would have liked, was it a close race in the end, how many votes were cast for each candidate, how many did Obama win by? Another interesting thing I heard was this was the greatest voter turnout in american history - that sounds pretty cool by itself, more people got involved in the vote. African American president, another 1st in history - that sounds very promising when you look at it from an outsider's point of view (I'm c

[quote who="little-whip" reply="2" id="1914714"]What I'd like to know is this... Yesterday a female McCain volunteer was the victim of a mugging while withdrawing cash from her ATM machine. She handed over the money as the robber demanded, but when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on her car, proceeded to beat the crap out of her and carve a large 'B' (for Barack) on her face. The perpetrator was black, his victim was white. Is HE going to be charged

[quote who="little-whip" reply="10" id="1904934"]The point (which so many of you numbnuts missed) was that the Klan was not originally formed 'to support slavery'. Slavery was already dead and gone by the war's end...at least that particular form of it. We all know that a sharecropper's life was SO much better for those freed slaves, right? The ones that remained on the land still worked it, often putting in longer hours than they did under their previous 'masters', but they

Reply to Most Common Screen Sizes in Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

the most recent batch of hp laptops we rolled out at corporate all had resolutions of 1280x800 as default, 14" widescreen displays, they also support 1024x768 but look really good at 1280x800. The previous flock of dell corporate laptops were running widescreen displays also but a funky 1440x900 or some odd resolution, looked a bit wonky but worked. 1280x800 and 1024x768 would probably be the default setups for laptops, desktops though with their infinite display p

Reply to What's for supper? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I cut up some pork chops into bite size pieces coated them with olive oil, salt pepper, steak spice, parsley and some balsamic vinegar and let them sit for a bit before I pan fried them, also cooked up some oriental vegetables, some rice, made a quick salad, some curly fries for the kids, garlic toast, a few cobs of corn and that was supper. It was decent - tasted good and filled up the tummy and when the kids eat everything and ask for more, you know it was pretty good. [

My first course of action would be to outlaw minivans from traveling in any lane but the slow lane. If it is a 1 lane road, minivans would be required to pull over and let others pass. My second course of action would be to outlaw remakes of old movies. My 3rd course of action would be to ad

I certainly agree with that! NAFTA didn't bring many blessings our way, and if it was so good for Mexico, how come they're coming here? Also financial institutions need to be regulated, so that when they lose investors money and get themselves in the shit, t
