I see Fireman Sam is now CGI 

And Captain Scarlett.
And Rupert the bear....and Noddy.

I feel sorry for kids today.

Noddy was non-CGI?  The CG is the only thing we get in the states.

There was also a stop-motion animated version of "Noddy" made in the 1970's 0r 1980's narrated by Richard Briers. The stories were fairly direct adaptations of Enid Blyton's various books. I used to hove some episodes of it on video back in the day.

I could swear sometimes my sister in law in flirting with me, but then I think, "Nah, that can't be right, I'm just imaging things..."

Whether she is or not, I'd advise you not to pursue it. I think in the list of things women can be p**ssed at you for, sleeping with the sister would be somewhere above gambling the house away on a Superbowl bet.

Does it matter whether or not you can see the string? 

I could Photoshop it out of there for ya if you want... :)

My original idea was that the string was supposed to be kinda' obvious.
Thing is, they looked fine in the 2" preview window, but when I looked at them full size, the string seemed more distracting than silly.

It's no wonder GM is getting their asses kicked. Their website is just about the most frustrating thing I've ever looked at, I honestly had MORE questions after looking at it. Lincoln has a pretty decent one though.

Also, what is up with businesses running a website and not answering questions about their products? I've been looking on a site for some headlights for my car, and can not get them to answer any of my emails. I've even tried different addresses to no avail. It's like they want to sell something but expect to sell it without answering simple questions, as if I'm going to spend several hundred dollars on something that I'm not sure will work.

I'm not saying this will work for you, but it's what I would do. First, tackle being alone, learn to like it, use it to make yourself better. Once you get past the fear of being alone, you WILL think much clearer. There are TONS of things to do when you're single, find them, do them. Most people take the opportunity to get themselves into shape. Do that, and learn to cook healthy, and learn to enjoy it. Those two things will take up alot of time, and make you healthier, stronger, and make you more 'you oriented'. You'll figure out what you do and do not want, and you won't seem like you're trying to fill a void when you do meet someone.

Not really my business, and please forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounded like your Ex wasn't very fair, as if she didn't want to work but that you should. I don't want to break balls, but believe me, if you're together with a person with that outlook, unless it changes, you'll be miserable eventually. It REALLY sucks to be only person contributing, and many people end up resenting the other person. There are billions of women out there, you just need to have some patience. You'll meet people that are better for you when you're not looking for someone, because when you are looking for someone, you overlook many flaws.

My car today decided to throw another check engine code.  The car is claiming that its something to do with the coil or possibly the plugs all of which were replace in the spring.  I hate Jettas...I simply hate them. 

I had one of those check lights. You have to take them seriously. I've fried engines before over neglecting stupid maintenance issues. The mechanic diagnosed it as a catalytic converter, and because it was such an expensive repair, I asked if I could put it off till inspection time. He said I wasn't in danger of burning out the engine so it should be OK.

By the time inspection time rolled around, the light had gone off. The mechanic said if it wasn't lit, I didn't need the CC. I passed inspection and that was the end of that. For now.

I like self-healing machines.

The light luckily went off and I pray to the car gods it stays off.  I have been through more than enough with that car the last 5 months.  I had the sparkplugs, wires, and coil replaced.  Then that somehow led to the CC getting screwed.  After paying a few hundred more for O2 censor replacement, they replaced the CC for free (Government thing in the States).  Seeing that light go on today felt like a knife in my heart.  It better stay off.

You know the light will come on if the gas cap isn't on tightly enough. It's a closed system so gas doesn't evaporate, and it doesn't work right if there's not a good seal.

Following a car accident, guitarist Les Paul had his right elbow removed.

Rock group Toad The Wet Sprocket got their name from a fictitious rock group mentioned in a Monty Python radio sketch.

The sketch in question, noted that the lead guitarist of the fictitious rock group had an elbow removed.

Coincidence? Yeah, probably!

Well, I'm sadly pathetically single, so I wouldn't have to worry about a woman being p**sed at me, it's my brother I'd have to worry about...

I just find it more weird than alluring, I mean, it's just she's a weird mix of a modest Christian woman with a blunt, TMI edge... 

Good example, she was telling a story about how her daughter has apparently saying "the b word" (yes, that's how she put it) inexplicably.  And she was trying to figure out where her little girl was learning to swear from.  Turns out the little girl was trying to say "Bert" (as in Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street) but it was coming out "b***h". 

So, we're all modest and clean tongued her. 

But then months later when I'm visiting, she and I are inside the house, husband (my bro) is outside doing yardward and the kids are outside playing in a wading pool.  I ask her if she's going to go swimming with the kids later, and she says, "No, I don't think so, I'm having my period right now and wouldn't want to get that in the water.  Plus, I really don't like using tampons."

I go, "Uh.. that's a bit, TMI..."

And she's like, "Well, why?  It's a normal body function you know..."

(I came up with a great reply to that, "Yeah, so is taking a dump, but I don't you want to hear me go into detail on that."  Course, I came up with that reply several days later...)

But, you know, I find the contrast just a bit weird.
