Sometimes my browser page extends beyond my start bar so that I have to minimize the browser page to use it. I wish I knew how to make the browser page sit inside or above the start bar. Anyone know?

( nevermind. I figured it out. Sheesh how long have I been a pc owner )

Stupid competition stupid.
Although really, stupid Cherry stupid.

I mentioned ages back that I won a competition.
Via a newspaper, for a bra and shorts set from a website than specialises in buxom ladies.
Now I think I read details pretty carefully, but a number of winners (and there were not that many of us to start with!) misread things the same way I did - the prizes were only allocated from a small band of the sizes available.

No doubt getting rid of their lowest selling sizes, now I think of it.

First shock was not being able to get the shorts size I wanted.
But I figured I could slim into those - I'm a big fan of incentive clothing.
Then it turned out I couldn't get the right band size on my bra. Ditto the above.
BUT, I could only get a smaller band size with a larger cup size.
No way that's gonna happen - if my boobs shrink it's because everything is shrinking.
I'm not going to become a 36D without surgery.

And I can't even sell them on eBay because the buggers insist you have to use/ accept PayPal in order to sell. Which I can't use, not being allowed credit or debit cards.

And for me, the thing that tipped this from being a rankle into an irritation was that I was waiting for my lovely prize before taking another NSFW shot to highlight my ongoing weight loss. Now I have to wait until I have enough money to justify buying new underwear. Okay, I don't have to, but I was really excited about lovely, exciting, slightly too small incentive underwear.

Wish I'd never entered the competition, grumble grumble. What an old git I am

Sundae: you can have a paypal account that links direct to your bank account. You just have to verify your account with them. takes a little while. You verify the account and then they deposit a random amount (a couple of pence usually) and when it shows on your statement you tellthem the amount they paid in.

I tried that when I lived in Leicester - it takes 21 days for money to clear. Which meant I paid in CASH - magical, can buy anything cash - and had to wait for three weeks before PayPal deigned to pass it on.

Then again... that was an issue I had as a buyer...
Thanks for the heads up, It must be different as a seller. Unless I have to deposit the fees three weeks before selling of course. But even that is less embarrassing than making people wait ages for payment.

Hey - that's seriously worth a look!
I have 3 x shoes, 1 x fur coat (high quality fake) and my expected underwear to sell. And I know Mum & Dad will come up with stuff over the next few months.

I ran my son's cell phone through the washer.

Apparently he left it in his shorts pocket and I didn't check them.

Great, mom.

Waiting to let it dry out and see if it still works, though I doubt it.

If it is a nokia it'll work. You can drive a car over the old nokia phones and they'll still take a call.

Like Timex, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. (Oh wait, that sounds sexual.)

Their sales would really take off if they developed one that would GIVE a licking.

This irritates the hell out of me:

Unless that little Chinese lady is taking care of the salad bar here, it sucks.

Ugly lettuce, old, funny flavored sunflower seeds, non-crunchy crunchy chinese noodles, warm and soggy cottage cheese. They haven't figured out how to fuck up the shredded cheddar yet, and I don't even eat the processed turkey cubelets because god knows what kind of botulism is hanging out on IT...grumble.

I enjoy eating this freaking crap day in and day out, I really do, but not when I spend 32 damn cents an ounce (and cottage cheese is heavy) and just threw it all in the trash.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Where's my little Chinese lady?

Heh... I used to go to the "sold by weight" salad bar at school everyday and get a huge plate full of just shredded cheese (which I would then put on my baked potato that did not come with anything but butter. WTF?) I got exactly $1.10 worth of cheese everyday, no pre-weighing. The lunch ladies thought I had superpowers, to be able to put just the right amount of cheese on the plate every time.

That's great. My lunch ladies wouldn't notice, probably.

Yeah, the gheys and the Chinese, now they know how to run a salad bar. It's in the details.

(Was that homist/racist?)
