       My family left for a week or so last friday, leaving me at home with the menagerie. That's all good, but where it gets odd is that my mom told me to eat the jello. Which is fine, I like jello. But I've been having some difficulty handling the task.        We had about a dozen boxes of jello when they left. Putting the two cranberry ones back in the cupboard (because I don't like cranberries) that left me plenty ...

       Right now I've got over a dozen windows open. And it's doubtful that the number wlll go down much before friday.        One of the windows is a download that I don't want to stop because I'd have to restart it and it would have to reindex everything and it would be bothersome. So I want to let it run until it's done. But that probably won't happen until sometime thursday. It worked all day yesterday, is a little...

       You've acquired a genie who will now grant you three wishes, the only restriction being you can't wish for more wishes. 1/ How/where did you acquire the genie/what is the genie in (doesn't have to be a lamp)? 2/ What is your first wish? 3/ What is your second wish? 4/ What is your third wish (those were easy questions to ask )? 5/ Your wishes are done, what do you do with the genie (or their container) now? And a welcome back to Mignuna, she ca...

       You've been abducted by aliens. Before they get to the mandatory anal probing, they have some questions on humanity for you. 1/ What does the alien look like (ok, they aren't asking you this one)? 2/ What is humanities best trait and who best demonstrates it? 3/ What is humanities worst trait and who most shows it? 4/ What is the best answer to the meaning of life that humanity has developed? 5/ The aliens will answer any one question to the bes...

       You wake up one day (assume it's during winter) and find a foot of snow (for those that don't know what snow is, imagine ice that has been ground up and pulverized into powder, then poured across the landscape) outside... 1/ Upon finding the snow, what is your first thought? 2/ What do you think you'll do differently because of the snow? 3/ What will you wear when you go outside? 4/ How common/rare is this much snow? 5/ The snow also managed to c...

       I'm depressed. Is nothing new. I spend the day curled up in bed, because it's where I belong. It takes me days to write even this. *sigh* Back to bed...

Ok, this doesn't make sense, someone explain this to me:        Blogs have points, users have points, this is good. Blog points appear to be a total for only the past 30 days, anything before that isn't used for the total and only shows up when people ask the blog nicely.        In other words, only the blogs that are good (popular, read, whatever) recently will have points. The ones that are bad (unpopular, unread, wha...

       So it's been a few days since my last blog (which I felt was a bit weak but thats besides the point) and I'm thinking I should write another (and have had a few people hint that to me as well). I have various ideas, yet none of them are formed enough to share. So instead I'm going to try something different and ramble on about whatever I happen to ramble on about.        I've been worried about Texas Wahine lately...

       The past few days I've been noticing something rather odd when visiting a few peoples blogs. Put simply, I get too much information.        When I go to my own blog I get an extra strip called Page Views. It contains a bunch of numbers that I'm assuming are connected to the number of times said article has been viewed (seems obvious, but it could be a diversionary tactic on stardocks part). Along with this strip ...

       Today I decided to change my blogs name. It was BWAT (Blog Without A Title), but I felt that was too close to BlueDev's A blog without a cause. Not that there is anything wrong with that, or that anyone had complained, but I wanted something more original. Not that originality is my strong point or anything. That and BWAT was almost sounding like a bad word to me. I'm pretty sure it isn't, but it almost sounded like one, and it is four letter so ...

UIAQ Related Questions Q : Do we have an Official JoeUser FAQ? A : Not that I can find, this is an attempt at an Unofficial one. Feel free to add questions (or answers) as comments, I'll update this article accordingly. Q : Why do some of the answers have a name in parentheses? A : The name in the parenthesis is the person who provided the answer to the question, although I will often reword things. Q : Who helped with this and should be thanked? A : The following people co...

I'm a rather shy person (or at least I think I am), and I'm generally more comfortable quietly commenting then jumping in front of a group. When in groups in real life I rarely say anything, unless I have to. Always dancing along the edge of things, thats me. Having said that, I've over a dozen articles here. But when I first post them I wait for someone else to post more, so mine don't stay on the top of the most recent articles pile. I feel a little better once I'm hidden under someo...

       Wisefawn... I can't say that I agree with everything you've written, or any of it even (which is besides the point). But you have been speaking your mind, and havn't let anyone stop you (or so it seems from my vantage point). And for that bravery alone I think you should be applauded. Either way, should you stay or go, I wish you well. I would have put this as a comment in your blog, but you disabled commenting. Your blog, your choice.

I declare the Terms of Service no longer valid on my blog (at least until an admin yells at me ). And will therefore write my own. Unless otherwise stated, all ideas/thoughts/whatnot I write are my own. I will note those that aren't, but when I mess up (which I will, being human) correct first, then yell. I state my opinion, and mine alone, I have no right to state anothers. You are welcome to agree, disagree, rant, rave, ignore, whatever, that's your choice and your opinion. Since you...

So i was thinking (potentially dangerous, i know) would it be possible to get a negative score/points/whatever you want to call it. As i understand it people declaring a comment of mine as trolling gets me negative points, so in theory, enough people telling me how bad my comments are would get me a negative total. Mind you, it will take lots of people to manage that one, but incredible fewer people for me then if say Draginol, were to attempt the same. So here's what i'm going...
