    Use the same e-mail login as you would use for the store. Worked for me?

    Of course, what's comfortable for me is probably chilly to everyone else. :lol:

    Not having those problems Safari 5.05, the Fast Reply function works fine on my mobiles as well ;)

    Fast Reply works fine here too, it's just sometimes the forum thinks it'd be a blast to log me out while I'm typing in my post. In the old forum if I hit the Back button my post would still be there and I could Copy-Paste it, log in, and then make the actual post. The new forum deletes whatever I had typed. Also like I mentioned the Log-In page it brings me to doesn't recognize my username (Rezca) nor my password or email as being in the database - only the Log-In button at the top of the page.

    Feels like a firewall issue, what happens if you (temporarily and experimentally) turn the firewall off for this site for a while ?

    Not used to cold, only happens for about 40 days a year - I only have one sweater and it is getting a little sporty this year ;)

    My favored temp. range is from 60f to 80f (about 15C to 26C). Outside of that qualifies as too hot or too cold. :)

    Windows Firewall is turned off and the version of Avast I have doesn't seem to have one (I don't have the Internet Security edition)

    +50 F to +70 F (10 C to 15 C) for me, although I can go much colder easily enough and still feel comfortable.


    I've entertained my neighborhood by going to store in 0 C (32 F) weather, wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt, light shoes and capris, and come back from the store eating ice cream.


    ...done the ice cream thing (but wore appropriate clothes) in -30 C weather too, although of course that means the ice cream is warmer than the air outside.

    It was like that quite often when I lived in Texas. The summers there get pretty hot. Air conditions would run nonstop and electric bills would be through the roof. I don't miss it. I moved back to NE US.

    sounds like the storm is passed. unless we're in the eye of the storm now.


    there was a 80's era song called eye of the storm by Smashed Gladys. i still have the cassette tape, but i don't have a cassette player anymore. no 8 track player either.


    now Donna Summers voice is playing in my memory "turn on the ole victrola"
    "last dance ... last dance for luuv"


    Dione, "what do you get when yoo fall in luv ... pins that burst your bubble"

    is there a time in life when it's time to give up on love? i'm 48, never married.


    it just seems the guys attracted to me are smokers who can't quit, and/or heavy in debt, like debt for life heavy; so, i'm shallow but i wouldn't want to marry that. there's no way i'd expose my dog to lung cancer


    there isn't a single dude i'm attracted to at my day job.


    the corsican cliff divers had my hormones activating. :lol: so, i'm still liking men.


    the odds of mutual attraction :(

    It's always possible to find love, but nowadays it's hard due to the demands of working life and the resulting lack of time to look for someone. That and a lot of folks out there have unrealistic expectations and don't give a second glace to some who isn't 100% of their "ideal mate".


    At my age (53) it's hard to find a lady that is't already married, or a divorced woman that isn't "so over men". Urgh. I hear it's REAL bad for divorced women with children, not too many fellahs want an instant family.


    Hopefully someone will come along for you! :coolsmile:

    Don't give up on love -- but marriage is not required for love to happen. (Frankly, I would love to drag the ongoing "unless every second of marriage is full of romantic love, it has failed" idea behind sauna, and put it out of its misery with several whacks from a birch log. Romance is fine and dandy, but everyday life in marriage is about being there when you're needed, and 24/7 sparks in the dark would get pretty tiresome... speaking as someone who has been in a relationship for 17 years now.)

    12:32PM. It's 98f with 32% humidity. The A/C in the building hasn't stopped for the past 3 hours.


    I bought my lunch this morning fro the 7-11 (chicken Caesar wrap and string cheese) so I don't have to go out in the Gods-awful heat.


    The trip home will be very, very unpleasant despite my water bottle and tan straw hat. I'll melt, but I shouldn't burn.


    Argh! HOT! :gulp::ahhh:

    I could talk about this game all day :3
    .
    Touhou isn't just a shooter, there are also several fighter-style games. This particular one "Mystical Chain" is actually a fan-made game but series creator ZUN sorta considers it canon (Tohou is like, the only game in existence where 90% of fan-made content is considered canon XD )
    .
    .
    This particular battle is especially entertaining http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89seZJnIP0k
    and the music that accompanies the fight is awesomeness x2. It's an arrangement of Kaguya's theme "Lunatic Princess" and Mokou's theme "Immortal Smoke".
    .
    At 3:16 the music and the battle are lined up almost perfectly, increasing the awesome factor considerably.
    .
    .
    .
    It's not multiplayer like the other two fighters are, but the shooter "Phantasmagoria of Flower View" is. There is even a patch to play it online. Near the end one of the characters says why cherry blossoms are dyed a deep red.

    I haven't played a game in AGES. Mostly because the video card on my current laptop is painfully slow for any fancy 3D work.


    Hopefully when I replace my laptop, I can find a nice machine with a dedicated video card and VRAM.

    It's now102F outside, and lunch has given me indigestion, AND the landlady emailed me to say that the A/C unit is flakey and she has a tech on the way.


    Crummy Monday. :down:

    We got takeaway from street vendors here called pie floaters, small meat pie in a bowl of pea soup that seems to be a traditional Aussie cuisine, although I'd rather eat my own arm :)

    The landlady emailed me and told me she bought 2 window A/C units in case the central A/C is hard to fix. Whew! No baked loach for dinner!

    It's now 104f. :ahhh: :grrr: :gulp:


    I sure hope the bus has a working A/C. I'm going to leave as safely close to the latest time that I can, so I sit at the stop as short a time as possible. There's a shelter there so there's some shade, but dayum, it's not going to be THAT cool!


    I believe them when they say 108f this week. Argh.

    This reminds me of a time when we were visiting Estonia with my classmates, when we were 14 or so. Estonia was still under Soviet rule, althought it was on its last legs, as the year was 1988. You could smell the upcoming change in the air.


    Anyway -- we were taken around the city (Tallinn) in a bus, it was a nice and very, very warm spring day (easily over +20 C, unusual for that time of the year!)...


    ...and the bus' AC wasn't just broken, it did not exist, AND... what was broken was heating. As in, it kept blowing hot air in. :O
