17966. alistairconnor - 12/28/2005 2:55:23 PM Five-day weekend with the girls.
We had a great time, messing around at home mostly.
I invited their mother to join us for Christmas Eve. We owed that to the kids : they believe in Christmas. It went very well, all things considered. 17967. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 8:46:31 AM O fer chissakes, it was horrible and you know it.
Strained at best. Hope you took photos.
I am well into a 3-day drunk. I hate the freaking holidays. 17968. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 9:07:13 AM I spent $2819.47 on liquor this year.
$2606.40 in 2004.
$2746.27 in 2003.
$1837.34 in 2002.
$1125.46 in 2001.
$1278.03 in 2000.
2003 really sucked, didn't it? 17969. alistairconnor - 12/29/2005 10:26:46 AM I'll tell you what, you're right about 2003.
But wrong about Christmas. I probably enjoyed it more than the Ex, because I'm better at keeping the strands of life separate (or ignoring what's really going on, if you prefer)
I know what you mean about the holidays. I prefer to avoid taking more time off work than I have to, at this time of year.
Did your boy have a good christmas? 17970. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 10:53:59 AM yep, he did indeed, thanks for asking.
now if it would snow.... 17971. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:04:35 AM I got him a sled with a steering wheel and brakes. It came in a big-ass box and there is no snow, however.
Child, cousins, cats, have been playing in the box. 17972. alistairconnor - 12/29/2005 11:20:59 AM Ah. We had the cold but only a dusting of snow over Christmas. Now we've got the real thing. I assume the kids are sledding at their mother's place. We had a hell of a good day last week at a little ski station.
I've been riding my bike through a snow-covered pretty city. Tonight I'll be taking the GF home to the big house in the hills, if the roads are clear. 17973. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:49:36 AM Ah, indeed.
big house reminds me of brother going to prison.
He was proud he made it to the 'big house'
I almost wrote something even more awful, but maybe he's not dead and he is getting better. 17974. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:51:10 AM merry christmas! 17975. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:51:41 AM happy holidays! 17976. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:52:02 AM Arcade Fire! 17977. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:52:29 AM AC/DC! 17978. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:53:06 AM Happy New Year! 17979. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 12:34:18 PM yea rrichtm can bug
Forget the hearse ’cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat’s eyes
Abusin’ every one of them and running wild
AC/DC 17980. PelleNilsson - 12/29/2005 1:26:32 PM The European snowstorm reached us a couple of hours ago. It's not too bad, at least not here and not yet, but reports from the south talk about serious snowdrift problems on the plains. 17981. alistairconnor - 12/29/2005 3:30:21 PM We want photos of course. 17982. Magoseph - 12/29/2005 3:55:32 PM Ali, I just found thes pictures from a place very near where I was born:
17983. Magoseph - 12/29/2005 4:04:59 PM Le Château de Grignan date du XIIème siècle ainsi que la tour de Crest au bas de laquelle je suis née.
Ah, well, every winter, I get weepy--don't mind me. 17984. PelleNilsson - 12/29/2005 5:06:10 PM You want me to drive 700 km south to get some pictures of snow? 17985. jexster - 12/29/2005 6:13:30 PM I just notice "page rank" on the Google toolbar...the google explanation isn't very helpful
PageRank Explained
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."
Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query.
The Mote is 5/10...What does this mean? The NSA sweeping the site cause of all the ferriners??
