    I don't know exactly how he got the cancer, but the article I linked to above says he underwent treatment in 2004 for the cancer and had a liver transplant in 2009. So...almost 8 years.

    Life sucks

    Yes, life can suck at times. But look at it this way:

    You're alive.


    That's more than what a lot of people can say right now.

    I know my laptop keys can click on and off, i found this out the hard way once playing Flash Flash Revolution, when my nail caught under one of the arrows keys and managed to pry it right off.

    I haven't tried much to get in between keys yet (might go look for the kit Bushy mentioned) but every so often I do swipe them with an alcohol prep pad (having a nurse as a mom is a plus since she can bring home dozens of them for me). They also work well on my laptop's screen.

    Saw it this afternoon, and I didn't get past the opening "Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" note before the tears flowed XD.

    I thought it was good, but I'm probably biased because that movie's been such a huge part of my life growing up. The 3D was good in parts and didn't feel too cheesy, given the fact that the original wasn't intended to be 3D.

    And nothing's going to beat my whole row bursting out in song during 'Hakuna Matata'. That was fun.

    I didn't catch the surprise at the end, though. We stayed all the way through the end credits, the lights were back on, and a few employees came in to clean the theater and were looking at us funny, and nothing came on so I guess there wasn't one to be had...?

    I have the opening song on my iPod. Loved that movie.

    Especially that running gag in the beginning with the woman at the inn, "How DOES she DO that?!"

    I too am going to see it tomorrow in 3D. We're all going with Kleenex. Mom has made a bet with me that my box will be half empty by the end of 'Circle of Life'.

    The Blue Rubix's Cube?

    Not much of a challenge now, is it?

    That's another thought...can your RAM be upgraded? I was also going to suggest you invest in an external drive (you can get a 250 GB one for not a huge chunk of change) to relieve some of those files from your PC's shoulders, but giving it some more RAM could also be a possibility, if your model can be expanded that is.

    How old is your PC? My laptop is 5 years old and only has 12% of space left. And that's with me defragging the drive when I can, and putting all my stuff on an external drive.

    I'm going to have to side with Muscles here for a bit. I went back and read many posts calling the guy out. I get it, you're angry, but try to keep that to yourselves if you can. Posting where he can see it not only gets him his 15 seconds of fame (which is what he wanted in the first place), but if it gets him riled up enough, he could do a lot more damage, and we will end up seeing another time warp as staff try to salvage what's left of KH-Vids if it gets to that point.

    Sadly this happens all too often. I once heard a news bit about a man who called the cops on a Subway sandwich clerk because she made his order "wrong" i.e. was supposed to be a mind reader and guess he didn't want X item without him actually telling her. Then when she fixed it and it was still wrong, he called 911 a second time.

    Too often customers (or as I have often called them "sucktomers") think threatening clerks, cashiers, and the like with calling the po-po will get them their way. It doesn't. Usually, they'll arrest THEM because it wasn't deemed an emergency.

    True story: One of my first full time jobs while I was in college was a sales representative for a chain of pool, patio, and game room stuff (rhymes with "Blamco"), and I earned commission for sales. This one guy came in and wanted to mix and match two different sets of clearance patio furniture for a mere $200, while the cheapest set was $700. When both my boss and I refused to cave to his demands, he called 911 and demanded we be arrested. Of course it fell through, and he ended up in the back of the cruiser, but the dude wouldn't shut up about how "he was going to have my job" and "those shiny cuffs will look nice on ya".

    Bigot.

    Thankfully I missed this hacking bit, and thank goodness it wasn't as severe as the last one where we all time warped.

    Props to the staff for their work.

    Sculpey's not too tough, the only thing I'm worried about is if the pendant will be too heavy. But I have made cosplay jewelry before using Sculpey. For example, this

    [​IMG]

    was brass jewelry wire and Sculpey that I baked in the oven, then spray painted with gold Rustoleum.

    Thanks for those links Wolfie. eBay's going to be my back-up option if I can't find something like it during the Halloween rush.

    Starting to work on his jewelry now...I'm going to start with his pendant thing first. Then I'm going to modify a Rubix's cube for his Menger sponge thing. The pendant will be made of Sculpey..should be fun. I've only used Sculpey to make jewelry once.

    Damn, Tito. Loved those Hawaiian sayings, some never made sense, some did.

    The ancient hawaiians had a saying...he who carves himself in stone has rocks in his head!
