Deserved, yes - but giving you a free domain name is like feeding vodka to an alcoholic as a reward for drinking too much.

Take a short nap and then - out with a new and dynamic site.

Perusing many sites today where the promise of great - all but instant -response is called for tells me that many of you young entreperneurs are tied to your keyboards and screens, plus the added responsibility of fulfiilling the creative side of your businesses.

How do you get the weekend - or the week - off for recharging?

The businesses are very different but 50 years ago I worked for a New Hampshire dairy farmer: 8 cows. There was no way, without me and that for a few hours a week, that he could get away. "Like bein' married to 8 women, " he told me. No rest, no recreation, no break up in the routine.

Fun creating stuff, I know, but what are the long term (or even medium term) consequences to a "must be attended to at all times" type web business? How, as most of you are "loners" or at most "twosomes", do you plan to get a break now and then?

There are consequences. That is all I am prepared to say. A very wise observation.

Re: Our Place - Drop in for a chat.....

There is much to be said about the ritual of preparing a good cup of coffee, and yet so much is clouded by superstitious claptrap that really doesn't have any effect on what the final cup tastes like. What counts is simple math and physics, and as long as you understand the chemistry of coffee you can produce a perfect cup every time.

Hi Dave & everyone else....I just wanted to put in my two cents and say...I'm an addict to the web thing (nourished by coffee and tea)...I've given up cartoons (yes I watch cartoons..bugs,daffy etc) for this...that's how bad it is...lol. I've gotten into this whole web world and even starting a 3rd site about my love of cheesy b movies, and am helping a friend start his bird society website.
I also love chatting with you all and as we in jamaica would say...every ting' is every ting' mon and all is good.

Cool! With you there with the cartoons! I was seriously, and I mean seriously, addicted to 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' - the one where they build a new house in a week! It's on every day over here - I haven't 'seen' one in ooh.... ages! Lol.

Good evening from the UK to all our friends old and new!

Good morning if you're in a part of the world where the sun is just coming up!

I pay homage to our fun ranking system thus:

Speaking with the general

It was a dark, stormy, night. The Marine was on his first assignment, and it was guard duty.

A General stepped out taking his dog for a walk. The nervous young Private snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and snapped out "Sir, Good Evening, Sir!"

The General, out for some relaxation, returned the salute and said "Good evening soldier, nice night, isn't it?"

Well it wasn't a nice night, but the Private wasn't going to disagree with the General, so the he saluted again and replied "Sir, Yes Sir!".

The General continued, "You know there's something about a stormy night that I find soothing, it's really relaxing. Don't you agree?"

The Private didn't agree, but them the private was just a private, and responded "Sir, Yes Sir!"

The General, pointing at the dog, "This is a Golden Retriever, the best type of dog to train."

The Private glanced at the dog, saluted yet again and said "Sir, Yes Sir!"

The General continued "I got this dog for my wife."

The Private simply said "Good trade Sir!"

Re: Our Place - Drop in for a chat.....

A joke you can change to suite.

Four people in the carriage of a train - an Englishman, a pretty young
blonde girl, an ugly old woman and a Frenchman.
It all goes dark when the train goes through a tunnel. In the dark
there's the sound of an almighty slap,
and when the train emerges from the tunnel the Frenchman is rubbing his face,
and there's a huge red mark on his cheek.
The old lady thinks "I bet that Frenchman fondled the blonde in the
dark and she slapped him".
The pretty young blonde thinks " I bet the Frenchman tried to fondle
me in the dark, got the old lady by mistake, and she slapped him".
The Frenchman thinks "I bet that Englishman fondled the blonde in the
dark, but the blonde thought it was me and hit me".
The Englishman thinks "I hope there's another tunnel coming up soon so
I can slap that French man again"












Sorry if there are any French men reading this, but you can always change it to another nationality.

Cheers,

Chris
