Jeeze. All this talk of snow makes me jealous. It rarely snows on the west coast.

And hello again Bruce, how're you doing lately?

I'm doing well Justin, how have you been? We would have been so happy to share some of our snow with you last year. So far this has been a good winter, we had snow, it stayed but not enough to be a problem. Now today it is raining so we have lost all the snow from the last snowfall, it is down to the layer of snow we had previously. If it keeps raining we will lose it all. Personally, if we are going to have winter, I want to see some snow. I don't like cold and wet, we get enough rain all year.

Morbid kibbles and bits! Sharks and ill-mannered cheese! The world is some kind of ardvark!

Computer isn't broken, it's the charge cable. I have rooms to clean and things to learn and lounges to fix and people to entertain and clothes to wash. Anyone know a good movie to watch? Comedy or horror is preferable. I am not much for movies and rarely watch them but my husband loves them and I'd like to make him happy when he comes home. I am so ridiculously behind on responding to posts here as well, bugger it all. Bruce, is it possible to have different banners in different section of the site? Live long and prosper, I'll be here later. *collects frazzled self and various sheets of paper and scurries away*

My take on the world exactly.

Darned digital devices! Can you depend upon them for one thing? No, you cannot. And personal computers are the worst of the scumsucking lot. If you can find it, how can you go wrong with, "The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But your Teeth Are in My Neck"? Comedy nay, hilarity and horror in one convenient package. For comedy, can you ever watch Galaxy Quest" too often? I am not a fan of contemporary horror but "The Lost Boys" and John Carpenter's, "Vampires" stand out. Yes, I was a vampire freak before they became trendy or sparkly. Old school I would suggest something with Vincent Price in it or one of the Hammer classics.

Interesting question, no. I was thinking one time of a different banner for each section but the problem is, the whole site is really just one page. A simple explanation, because I have a simple mind and do not really know what I'm talking about is: The basic appearance is determined by the background and the whole site is built on the common background. (They're shaking their heads now) Here is where I super-simplify things somewhat inaccurately for ease of description while coders scream "No, no, no, no, that's not at all how it's done at all!" while pulling on their hair. Yet you will understand what I say whereas the experts you will not understand a word past, "no" or that they now have less hair than they did a minute ago. A big empty spot is left in the middle of the background layout and on the index page, that's where they put the index. On the topic pages, that is where they put the body for posts. When you install a banner, you incorporate it into the background design for the webpage so it gets automatically included in every page on the site. Which is also why you do not see the banner in the CP.

So that's it, you don't have to do anything else because the one thing the experts and I agree on is that what you are asking for cannot be done. Take the night off, enjoy your movie. Unless, (here is where I begin making the experts nervous) of course you want to spend some money on a good coder. You would have to make them the sites theme manager unless you want to install the html yourself which I heartily do most certainly not, recommend. I stick strictly to simple coding jobs and my hair has thinned noticeably.

That's great news Jordan, nothing benefits education like closing schools. Please use your day off to learn something, have fun or both.

Dylly, I sent you a PM :)

Bruce, I've seen The Lost Boys actually, I recall enjoying it. It was also on a list of gayest horror movies on Cracked back in the day, which made me chuckle. Thank you for the suggestions, you can't go wrong with Vincent Price.

That is what I had been thinking as well, but I see that it cannot be done. Perhaps particularly important topics could have banners embedded in the posts themselves rather than the "background" of the site.

Ah, wouldn't it be nice if I had the money to pay people to do things? Alas.

Housework? You're doing housework? Oh Jordan, could you please come visit me?

I don't know if I would go that far but underneath all that hetero dating there is something of a gay/bi element but isn't that true of all vampire movies/lore? Vincent Price was one of the best. I did a quick search and unfortunately youtube does not seem to have his rendition of The Desiderata. It was the first time I had encountered it and it was one of those moments that you take with you for life.

If you had the banner ready I think the job could be done for $200.00-300.00 or maybe less which is not much as a longterm investment. The problem is, anytime you wanted to change the banner you would have to be a very brave or very foolish person. If you want to add a section, braver or foolisher and if you want to change the look of the site, well you see where this is going.

You realize of course that by asking me this in an open forum you have forever dispelled the theory that Admins only use PM's for swapping dirty jokes and porn. Now the members know the truth and we have grown 80% duller in popular opinion. BTW if you really want to know how to please your husband, PM me. XD

Shame. Have you heard his reading of The Raven? Very well done, and on youtube last I checked.

Oh dear. As much as I love the lounge I'm afraid that's something I simply can't afford. Onward to Plan B: Massive amounts of porn!

Blast it all, I've destroyed the illusion! No matter, I have ways of making people forget things. They primarily involve midgets and baseball bats, which I don't mind giving away because, well...

Now now Bruce, I guarantee you, my husband is a very pleased man. However movies or other quiet activities are occasionally a necessity, otherwise he'd get far too tired ;)

I did, he had such a perfect voice for recitation, I wish he had done a cover of The Dream. I don't know if you're familiar with it, the Moody Blues have fallen out of favour with the trendies lately, it has become trendy to bash them but I found two copies. Neither are really good quality but the video with music is slightly better. The video of just The Dream sounds like it has audio on only one side with headphones but is tolerable with speakers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC4Vgkzf7eU The Dream

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1IkAyT_R2w The Dream plus music

I know the feeling, financially I'm going through a tight time as well. I know things will turn around but that doesn't help at present.

Shattering illusions, isn't that what life and growing up is all about? The midget plan could help keep people in the Lounge as well.

One does have to come up for air occasionally I suppose.

We don't swap dirty jokes & porn no more??? 0_0 :(

Reading PM's but I'm working on other stuff so I'll be slow. We had a small snow storm here today.

Hey Jordan, hey Lys :)

I can tell you the dirty jokes here Jordan. XD

IKR I don't know how she made Jr Mod, I bet she hasn't mentioned James's wiener once.

LOL She should ask James if he remembers the two dorks who wouldn't stop talking about his weiner. If only I still had his email address.

Dear James,
Just writing to tell you I'm sorry about all the PM's you found of Suzu and me making fun of your wiener. We were young & immature & thought it was fun to make 80 jokes a day about your wiener. I just wanted to let you know we've grown up since then & are more mature now. We only make about 10 jokes a week about your wiener now.

ROFLOL no thanks, I'll stick to making jokes about it.

10 is really too few jokes to make about somebody's weiner so he should be happy. 15 at least is the most healthy.

I'm gonna work on responding to your PM but if you're tired, you should go to bed. It usually takes us a little while to write and respond and I want you to get enough sleep. Can't let prowling semes kidnap you while you're tired.

While I work on various things including responding to several PMs, which may take some time, in response to a certain uke, here is a picture of Pete the toad, who lives in my mother's potted plant in the dining room:

He is a bit blurry but the plant light that hangs overhead seems to be confusing the camera.

He is a handsome little toad. When I was working with photography I proclaimed myself Canada's most prolific photographer of frogs.

I hope you all enjoy the latest addition to the Lounge, I have been working some months to get new content that is worthy of this site we love. It is so good to finally be able to post something to share with you. It is a small start but a very good start, may it help our Lounge continue to grow.

Hello Bruce, I saw your post in Diapered Anime. I hope you're having a lovely evening.

What operating system are you using?
