Art, I named my monkey... Apple Monkey. I snapped a pic of him when I was checking out the Mac Pro before I bought it. He was in the sample photo section.

He reminded me of my friend in NC. I think AM is cute.

Social media confuses me & so repetitive. I can send texts/bbm/whats app messages, I don't need Twitter to do that. I don't have to follow anyones movements 24-7.

If I want to send a picture, I will attach it to my messages or email it, I don't need Instagram. I don't know exactly what all those sites do because I don't use them. I have Skype for my overseas friends/family. Otherwise, I don't use it. Its too much, sensory overload. :bang head:

Edited: my smilies don't work for me sometimes. :-(

Congratulations Carl! I forgot to add that. You will have a blast with that phone snapping pics left, right and centre. LOL

But, I thought it was weird, too. It's like building with Legos.

Bas, thank you for the images! I appreciate your taking the trouble to post them. Can't wait for June to get home from school so I can show her. You've built some remarkable structures!

Thank you Lisa, it was no trouble at all

Well atleast the Mansion and the Pripyat build, the rest is pretty regular stuff, but thanks nontheless!

There may be other reasons, too, but that's the only one I remember.

Thanks again.

Thanks

If she wants to extend the redstone circuits she needs to place repeaters after every 10-12 redstone 'lines', the repeater will amplify the signal so you can make the circuit longer.
They only work one way, so if the signal stops after the repeater you need to turn it around.
There are quite a few very helpful redstone tutorials on Youtube, she might want to check some out

Nice to see gas at close to $3 a gallon, I buy $1000 to $1200 per month of that crap. It makes a big difference. $5 a gallon was killing me.

vitalsignsrn · 14 November 2013, 06:24 AM

@ Wes's pic..

vitalsignsrn · 14 November 2013, 06:30 AM

I wish we were at $3/gallon. Today we're at about $4.75. :-( Thank goodness I dont spend nearly as much as you do Art. Although, $400-500/mth is still a large chunk.

The Joker · 14 November 2013, 06:55 AM

We show our petrol per litre. £1.35. Just over £6 a gallon. Although believe the US gallon is different to the UK(imperial)

3.78 liters = 1 US Gallon

4.55 litres = 1 British gallon

So I shall times £1.35 by 3.78 = £5.1

So in dollars we pay $8.18/gallon equivalent ........ I think

With how much I buy I can't imagine that.

vitalsignsrn · 14 November 2013, 07:07 AM

Wes...we're in Litres here too. $1.23/ltr

Thats super high. Italy is expensive too. My relatives come here and cant figure out why we drive or go visit as much as we do. They dont travel much cause of the prices.

That's a lot for just one person.

vitalsignsrn · 14 November 2013, 07:21 AM

Driving to work isnt so bad, its the time I spend driving to my brothers place. 45 min there and back, 1.5hrs of travelling time. And sucks to be me when I get stuck in traffic. :-( My friends are all over the city, it seems Im always driving somewhere. My car has a 76 Litre tank & because its a 3.5, takes premium gas so is quite expensive to fill.

The premium gets you.

Sure does. I tried mid grade when I 1st got the car. The manual and the note inside gas tank cover "suggest premium". What it should say is "PUT IN PREMIUM DUMMY"

Engine knocks if I dont. So I just put in premium.

Lisa · 14 November 2013, 09:29 AM

Whoa - UK gas prices are amazing. We're at about $4 for premium, at least that's what it was last week.

For you guitar buffs - hubby came home with a "loaner" 1960s re-issue Stratocaster from his buddy's guitar shop. He's probably going to buy it. Where he's going to put it, who knows! All of the basement wall space is used up.

Ohhhh.... he's probably eying the living room walls at this point.

Lisa, my dear, please do take pictures of that beauty!

...As for space, there's always room for one more guitar...

Haha, tell him you're thinking about buying another grand piano and might need to keep it in his basement.

vitalsignsrn · 14 November 2013, 09:47 AM

I like the "loaner" part Lisa.

How many guitars does he have? I have no idea pricing for them, is the loaner expensive? Its pretty old. Im guessing it probably is.

Re-issue guitars are actually new ones, this one is made like the one that was available back in the 1960's but it's probably fresh from Fender.

vitalsignsrn · 14 November 2013, 10:08 AM

Darn, kinda skimmed over the re-issue part. hahaha

Judy, you are an RN. You must be more detailed than that.

Lisa · 14 November 2013, 11:50 AM

Here it is. Hard to capture the color but it's very light blue. It 's called a Classic Player '60s Strat.

Sure looks nice, me likey!

Lisa · 14 November 2013, 01:00 PM

Having trouble attaching the pic, Carl. Dave did the first one for me from my iphone, then I tried sending the image to Photobucket so I could rotate it. But for some reason I can't delete the sideways image. Oh well!

Judy, I asked how many guitars he has and he has lost count. I'd guess about 15... that I know of!

And Carl's correct about the re-issue. This re-issue was from about 2006, we think.
