Obama comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’ and sometimes the Obama go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that Obama he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about Obama… he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and they… rip you to pieces.
Bella – You’re waaaay warmer than us down here…4°F/-16C here this morning. :O
“…we’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave…” Yeah, right. It was 22F in Atlanta when I got up this morning. Rolled over and went back to sleep…
Bella, is’ supposed to be 76 degrees here today (with a low of 58), not the current 49 degrees (heading down to a low of 34).
One serious problem a certain subgroup of the homeless in south Florida are facing: registered sexual offenders are being denied space in shelters, since they all seem to be located too close to schools, etc. It’s a vexing problem, for sure.
Paul – Interesting problem…maybe they should have thought a couple of steps ahead before they committed the rapes.
-2F in OK again last night. Our global warming starts today. Should be in the 40s in a few days.
Yeah, I happen to agree with DJ on this one. It really is simple
Dont sodomize 12 year old boys and you wont have problems getting into homeless shelters.
DJ:
1. Where do you type “Character Map”? Unless I’m doing something wrong, which is likely, all I get is a list of programs.
2. I hope you would agree that those people either suffer from some form of mental illness, or simply don’t give a damn. Either way, neither of those types would be the kind to think a couple of steps ahead of their actions. And I think sexual offenders are not just limited to rapists.
Isiah,
Or pedophiles.
i dont want to get into a whole argument about this. However, I do have to point out that people have a right to protect themselves. By allowing sex offenders to live close by you put your family in danger. I am a father myself and wouldnt want one of those types living anywhere near my family.
Isiah,
I don’t want you to interpret my comments as defending those cretins. In fact, most of the sex offenders living in Miami are forced to live under the I-195 bridge (locally known as the Julia Tuttle Causeway) that leads from just north of downtown Miami to Miami Beach. I merely wanted people to think about something that they don’t usually think of at all.
How about a vintage baby-daddy DNA letter to cheer you up this Sunday?
Paul:
#1…You’re on the right track…when you click Start, you’ll see that list of programs, but at the very bottom of that list you should see a search box. That’s the place to type it. It should appear after you’ve typed just the first few letters in.
#2…100% agreement from me. I was trying to make some sort of quick point that we are always responsible for our own actions and the resultant consequences. Unfortunately, up until fairly recently, we had hospitals and institutions where people like that would be treated and/or kept away from society, instead of allowed to repeat and repeat and live under bridges.
Paul, if you have not found it yet, it may be easier for you this way=
Start/Programs or All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map
Paul – Don’t make me come down there.
I got it. It’s now 33°F. Thanks DJ and Tehobu.
Here paul this is how you solve all of your computer problems
Most stupid things you see on TV has a warning(don’t try this at home). Many that don’t should have. But it still wouldn’t keep people like me from trying them. Just try my first deep fried burger. Wasn’t bad, but tomorrow may tell another story.
Character map? Hmm, thanks folks. A balmy 45 right now, big freeze again tonight, Port Charlotte, Fl. Saw a little “white” rain yesterday, sleet? Maybe it’s the cabin-fever? Brain-freeze most likely!
It aggravates me that rapists and child molesters EVER get out of jail! It throws me into a rage every time I hear about some scumbag who was released from prison early for “good behavior” who ends up back in jail for killing a kid or raping again. The judges who put them back out on the street should be thrown in jail themselves!
I feel strange defending “sex offenders”, but some of the guys are on the list because of intercourse with a 16 year old girl when they were 17. They will stay on the list ’til they die. Draconian? Yeah, I think so…
I usually just copy it from someplace… like Bella’s comment. ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° … That’s when I feel I need it. Usually I’m too lazy to go to the trouble and just write F behind a number. 13F
@Richard
I went through the one in my city I assume it is fairly representative
EDWARDS, NATHAN BERNARD 2nd degree sexual offense and attempted rape
Beyah, Abdul R 1st degree rape armed with a knife
Cruz, Addie sodomized a 10 year old girl
Majeed, Agin 59 year old Attempted Rape-1st Degree of a 15 year old girl
Craig, Alan S forced a 14 year old to perform oral when he was 52 years old
I picked these names randomly. Do i have to list more? If you are on the list you probably belong on it
Just went thru the list in my town…pretty much the same as isiah’s list. One of these wastes-of-oxygen moved into a house across the street from me this summer; the crime involved a minor, he was 30 at the time. I visited several of my neighbors who have kids to drop off printouts from the county’s sexual offenders website.
BTW – In the US, I think most counties post this info online…it’s all public record. You can usually go to the county website, or the sheriff’s website, and plug in your address to see if one of these scumbags lives near you or your kid’s school. I would think that most of them offer an email alert service.
Great website, how about a joke…
A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”
Richard does make a good point. As the father of a 19 year old, I get nervous when he has an interest in a 16 year old former school mate. At my age a 3 year difference is nothing, but at his it can mean 15 years behind bars and a permanently damaged life. I have told him in no uncertain terms to stay away, but you know young, hormone driven kids! Some states have a clause in the law regarding this type of case, but most do not. This probably does need to be addressed in some manner. Even so, as for the others, let ’em fry!
I’m in no way defending sex offenders at all, I think they for the most part should be made to suffer for what they’ve done. The only ones I could feel any type of empathy for are the ones who were say 18 or 19 years old at the time and had some 15 or 16 year old girl who looked older, lie to them and say she was the same age. It happened to a friend of mine. Now he’s a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. I knew him when it happened. I remember the girl, she would have passed for 21, and frequently lied about her age.
Other than a situation like that they don’t deserve anything. I don’t believe they should be “rehabilitated” I don’t think you can.
Degrees can be typed this way: Alt 0176
Look for the codes in the Character Map. I’m using Windows XP if that makes any difference.
Or you can make a hotkey for things that you use often so you don’t have to go through the bother of getting out the character map or type out the code. I forget how to do that, but I made some for a few characters on my wife’s old computer a long time ago and it wasn’t hard to set up. I think you can make a hotkey for lots of things such as an email address so you don’t have to type it out every time.
Can anyone elaborate on that?
Yes
Um, to the gang of regulars (and the others who threw in their two or three cents worth): sorry I brought up the subject…..
We can always count on you Paul to start a good dialogue!
I thought it was interesting.
ROTF Tehobu…can you elaborate on that?
Hey, I know I am late in the day, but Jonco if you are listening there are a couple old posts I’d really like to see again. One was called “kid art” and it showed childs pictures criticized by the most heartless critic to ever lift a pen. Sorry, but I found it really funny. The second was a picture posted a couple years ago on the original B&P site, it showed a large older fifth wheel trailer hooked up to a very jimmy-rigged hitch on the tailgate of a small Chevy Blazer. This can be your belated Christmas present to me.
No worries Paul. Just my two cents. A useless story really, in the whole scheme of things.
Yeah that’s the idea, Maffu. It occured to me that the hotkeys I made were done easily in Word. Apparently you need a different program like that one to make them for a browser, etc.
Scott.
That’s not punny.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Saturday. I am supposed to go back to work today. Wish me luck 🙁
bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
it’s getting hot in heer
heer?
It’s a few miles North of Theer.
It’s a balmy 32F here Paul. Just like spring. 🙂

OOPS!

Here paul this is how you solve all of your computer problems
You go to this website and pick the apporpiate download location: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download
Then you make an .iso image of the downloaded file on a cd
finally you go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
and follow the guide
lastly, you pick up a nice book on unix
