Complaints [2]

Just home for a day, now off to Spain, but might be a bit more available there internet wise.

Have had to postponed the thesis delivery for non-school related reasons, but it will be delivered this fall.

Hope you all are having a nice summer too. If not.. complain about it.. this is just the thread for it.

I hope that your non-school related happenings haven't been giving you too much trouble, Blue. Sounds like a great summer schedule in any event. Have fun in Spain!

Fortunately I don't have much to complain about regarding my summer, aside from the humidity. But our next-door neighbor lets us use his backyard pool in exchange for mowing the grass, and it's nice to be able to cool off there. I'll be out of town for the better part of two weeks in early August though, first for our annual Delaware trip and then immediately turning around and going to Otakon (which is now in DC).

Have a fun trip in Spain, Blue

See if you can find a real kick-ass tapas bar. I thought they'd be all over the place when I was in Spain, but turns out you have to hunt them down.

tapas bar, like a snack bar?

Yes.  Though I've learned to be very careful when saying that among parts of america.  At least twice while out with folks I've said "Let's go to a tapas bar!" and been completely misconstrued.  Not that I mind naked boobies, but when in the mood for one it really doesn't substitute for the other.

we have snack bars in Manchester, they sell pie and chips, mushy peas if you are feeling fancy.

I have a complaint, tho It might be all me
I cant seem to get pics from "photobucket" to load up here in my messages which, is a bit of a piss off as I found a few funnies Is it me sweety darling or is it...photobucket....or....... ?
Thank you

It's not you, Az. It's photobucket. They've changed the rules again (and stole two of my pet bears )

{{{Bollocks- just tried to post a bunch of pics on the tale of home thread and not a one of them showed up- can you not link from photobucket any more? If not I need a new image host I only use it for here. }}}

Oh no, if you guys are having trouble then its Photobucket. I'm as you Petty, just use PB for here. And Dave has lost his bears !!! Well Fook'em is all I can say !!!

{{Really annoying- been using PB on here for years and now I cant get a single picture to show up when I use the image code }}}

Mmm ditto Ive noticed Ive been bombarded with more & more Ads on that site & they ask for money each month to go "ad free".

I stopped using Photobucket years ago 'cause they're garbage IMO, but they recently changed their policy that unless you pay for a premium account you're not allowed to post/hotlink your images to sites other than Photobucket itself. Which is the only thing that I or anyone I know has ever used Photobucket for but, well, garbage.

I've used imgur for years and while it's not perfect (the way in which it compresses large images significantly reduce the quality) it's good enough for most of my needs. There's also the forum's built-in image host. I know a number of people on another forum who swear by Abload.de but I can't recall if they require a premium account policy to host large numbers of images or not.

As I said,  "Feck them!". Time for a change then. IL have a sniff around & see what there is. You can brighten the day with a well placed gif or picky

{{I'm using imageshack right now- but you got to open your sporran for it after the trial period expires }}}

Hollyhocks to that ! I don't like the idea of paying !

All this talk of photobucketing and image compressing has gone way over my simple, computer illiterate mind

Hey! How come we haven't seen any recent pictures of Forest's cabin erection?

Maybe, for now, its flopped...... ?

It has been an awfully long time to keep a cabin erected. I certainly couldn't keep one up this long.

Maybe it was all the attention being paid to it. Too much scrutiny and analysis.

Perhaps the weather has turned cold ? Maybe he hasn't had it up there long ? Small things can interrupt an erection................

{{Maybe he stopped for a buckie?- can be tricky managing an erection drunk }}}

Lets hope he has good wood for this erection ? no damp soggy bits at the end.

{{Indeed, you need something firm in your hand when you start or your erection just wont stay up! }}}
