I have turned over a new leaf since I found it best to just take everyone at face value anyway. You want to tell me you're Donald Trump in disguise, that's great, Mr Trump. How about fixing me up a free room in one of your hotels for a couple of weeks? Oh, you're Elvis? so, where ya been, old man? Meet me at Graceland.

Yes, trivial.

I am just not comfortable with m.wiseman. And I don't have to be. I haven't spoken a lot to him/her in the past, that is not likely to change. Sorry. If everyone else wants to be friendly with him/her, that's great. I don't find him/her to be genuine or sincere. Joke is over.

Hmm. Never meant to come across that way, only looking to share a few laughs, not rub anyone the wrong way. Seemed to be the case, but I suppose not with everyone.

My appologies. Sincerely.

my bad. terribly sorry.

So, I have found 2 jobs at NIH I can apply for. Unfortunately, I have no experience with HIV or AIDS, but I do know about the immune response to pathogens, so I can write a decent application to that one. the other application requirements are VERY general in nature, although the job itself appears to have duties for which I have no experience, but they are not asking for that experience. I suspec this job may have been difficult to fill.

Are the words "official scapegoat" in the job description?

No worries, joe. Its been fun!

Take it easy.

AZG, one more thing...maybe you can or cannot answer...this isn't as bad as the last question. Atleast, a bit more intelligent.

I am picking up 2 font CDs today.

On a PC, do you know how many fonts can be stored in the font folder in the Windows folder without having performance problems?

When I used to work on a Mac, in the past, they use to use a utility program called Suitcase or ATM to help manage fonts.

I am going to be doing a direct dump into the font folder.

really. if you have to go, then I have to go, and I'm not gonna.

I'm getting bored with my fonts, but need to keep them on the system because I have "legacy" files that may need them if I need to call them up again. I don't feel like picking or weeding through the fonts. I just want to dump them. I just don't know what my limit is.

Right now I have....890 fonts in my folder. But that includes normal, bolds, obliques, etc...

I shouldn't think there would be any restriction and I doubt it would affect performance to any noticeable degree, especially on a relatively new 'puter.

In my experience, those font suppliers usually have their own install program, because in Windows, the fonts have to be in the registry. You do have a limit, at least it tells you that you have one, but it seems to ignore that limit.

I just did this in installation of Corel Draw on my newer computer.

Why are you guys apologizing for a joke that everyone else got?
If one person thinks it isn't funny, who cares?
Why do we give a damn?
Why should we curb our joy to accommodate someone who would absolutely not do the same in return?
Screw *insert Stick In The Mud name here*
I'm here to have fun and if SITM doesn't like it, SITM can leave.

Because everyone knows that the "SITM" is generally a good, supportive & well-intentioned person. (Except for the "toe" incident with AZG, which I quickly rectified. And the three weeks that I have been posing to be "kingsteel," which was harmless. And maybe this one time this past week where I pretended to be "Josefuss." I would have given Josephus the proceeds for any winnings, truly. Unless it were a monkey. Then I would have kept it for myself.) I am not a good liar. In relatively short periods of time, I fess up to any wrong-doings or monkey business.

My intention is never cruel. That is the difference.

I honestly do not know why you are hostile with me, Crow. I complimented you on your win. You do nice work.

Never cruel?
I see.
So the emasculating posts about mnementh and posting that you find M.Wiseman to be a generally untrustworthy person, etc. was a joke then? None of that was cruel? Maybe not: Rude as hell though. No apologies?
Please.
Seek therapy.
None of this started out about you, but everything seems to need to revolve around you in the end.

And having pointed out that Empress has no clothes, I'm done speaking about her, it, or any related items in open forums. Anyone who wants to argue with me can PM.
I won't respond to further messages from killing time.

hey...

can we go back to making fun of Jason Toon? and burning stuff?

please?

sends grenade glued over with kernels of corn at Crow,

touches off flamethrower at the threatening college stickered mom-woman,

shakes head at killingthread/kingshaft/josepuss, throws burning Totally Spies! lipstick her way.

contented, takes out first cigarette in 14 years, and lights big pool of gasoline with the butt.

lights tree next to van.

now when the tree goes out, we can have S'mores.

see, I have these crows feet to stick the marshmallows on...and sillytime gave me some chocolate as apology for not 'fessin up when I first thought she was josecat.

all we need are some graham crackers, and I think the m.Widemann's behind the tree sells all that kind of stuff.

Whoa!

Please calm down. I apologize for upsetting you.

You seem to be taking this very personally, Crow. I truly can't fathom why.

Why do you have such an interest in my banters with mnementh? Unless you are mnementh or me, I see no reason to concern yourself with such details. I suspect Mnementh knows why I jab at him and I know why he jabs at me.

As for m.wiseman, I didn't know much about him/her until recently. What I knew of him/her whas that he/she entered photoshop contests. He/she never came into misfits/malcontents until very recently.

I am not going to ask what I perceive to be a silly technical question to someone I hardly know (a.k.a. m.wiseman). I felt more comfortable speaking with AZG about my particular issue.

Perhaps, I didn't want to broadcast my own ignorance about something so simple?

If that equates the need for therapy, then, by all means, sign me up.
