We felt as safe in Israel as we do in the United States—except when we encountered reckless Israeli drivers, who hurt more people than Palestinian suicide bombers do.
My next smoking break allowed me to witness a rather ugly balding little man with a mobile phone clamped to his ear reverse his very large Range Rover into the BMW parked behind him. Perhaps he should stick to a Mini.
Interesting result. I've never even watched a single episode of Gilmore Girls...
Lorelai Gilmore
You are Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls. A traditional mama you aren't, but that doesn't mean you don't love your kids or aren't great in this role. You like to put a modern twist on things—no need to become your mother, after all—although sometimes you might wonder if that wouldn't be all bad. You probably believe in being friends with your child, and you try your best to be open and honest about your choices, good or bad, past or present. You like being known as the cool mom in the neighborhood that your kids' friends can come to if they need an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes your children may wish they had a mom that acted like everyone else's—or at least one who didn't raid their closets and acted her age. But most of the time, they think you're pretty cool. And that's fine by you, because the feeling is mutual.
§ - Chairs Are for Sitting. PDF Is for Printing. - "If a link on your Web site takes you to anything other than an HTML file, you need to let your visitors know before they click. Why? Because they may not have the plug-in installed." - Or even if you have the plug-in, you may want to take a different approach. One of the easiest ways to crash my browser (IE 6.0 on WinXP Home) is to open a more-than-one-page PDF file in the browser. If I know ahead of time it's a PDF, I will always choose to download the file so I can open it independently. You don't warn me and the browser crashes, you think I'll ever want to go back to your site?
§ - Are you as sick of No-Right-Click as I am? - Take Back Your Browser! - No, I haven't had a chance to try it yet—but I'm all set to give it a go.
§ - Zuly already said it, so I don't have to. - Take It - "If you're one of these people who continually, time after time after time, allows yourself to get drawn into troll-baiting arguments that don't solve any problems and only raise your blood pressure and leave you posting stuff like 'I'm a nice person, really. I don't know why this keeps happening' after your 6th profanity-laden post this month attacking another blogger, then there is something wrong with you. Yes, there is something wrong with you. You are not making the right choices."
§ - I can't think of anybody either... - Where Have All the Flowers Gone? - "The death of Bob Hope and, recently, Katharine Hepburn has got me thinking about the entertainment industry. Some of the greatest entertainers of any age are starting to die off. Who are we replacing them with? J-Lo and Ben? Britney and Mariah?"
I can tell you how to keep extra fonts handy, but not installed in the Fonts folder.
Make yourself a folder for the extra fonts, and save the fonts in that folder when you download them. ...
When you want to use a particular font in a document, go to the folder and double click on that font to open it. Leave the font open and open Word or whatever program you are creating your document in.
The font that you have open will be available in the drop down list as long as you keep it open. When you are done, close your program and then the font.
Road Hazards!
