Just logged into forum at 9:55PM EDT and things are still down. I have a free account. I wonder how long this is going to last? People trying to access sites are becoming exasperated.

First of all, Paypal does not issue e-mail addresses. The e-mail address that is referred to is your e-mail address; the one you give PayPal when you opened your account with them. The one you use to log into your PayPal account. If somebody wants to send you money, they go to their PayPal account and set up a payment to you at your e-mail address. Paypal uses that information to credit the monies to your PayPal account and sends you a notice that the transaction is waiting for your approval. You then go to your PayPal account, logging in with your e-mail address, and either accept the payment of decline it. I hope this clears things up for you.

If you add a credit card to the account, it will automatically verify for you. PayPal will check with the credit card company about your account with them. BUT, please be aware that in the case somebody hacks into your PayPal account, the credit card company has no way of knowing that an improper person is using it. Attaching the PayPal account to your bank account is an even riskier business. Hackers have access to your monies in that account. It happened to me, but fortunately things worked out ok and the bank restored my money and overdraft charges. If you attach to a bank account, do not keep a lot of money in it and get yourself a special Visa card to use exclusively on line that has a credit limit of only $500.

Nice work as far as it goes. I would smudge the background a little to make the rose a little more pronounced. The background as it is seems to repeat across the sig, which I find distracting. I do like the effect used for the font placement across the lower area. I give it an 8 out of 10.

Yeh, I control my dreams a lot. If I don't like how the story is developing, I just correct things to suit myself. If there is a mistake in the dream, I correct it. I change people's identities frequently. Like if I am talking to, about or doing something with someone that doesn't fit right, I switch the personage to somebody else. Most of my dreams are in the morning as I am trying to wake up. They are very realistic. All my senses seem to be intact. The one thing that is really fun is when I fly. In my dreams I can fly like a bird and see everything from a bird's perspective. It is really neat. I can say I have never had what you call a nightmare. When things start getting unpleasant, I just change the situation to something pleasant. Sometimes when I am trying to wake up, I have frustrating dreams. In them I am trying to accomplish a simple task that is escaping me. It becomes so maddening that I wake up just to stop the excercise in futility.

I am no expert on the subject of training dogs, but I know who is; Cesar Millan. This guy is known as the "Dog Whisperer" here in the States. Check out his site and you may be able to ask questions there. At the very least you will find a list of his books on dog training. Plus you can find supplies there as well.

Hmm, I just have to vote this trip. Somehow I really like SkyStormKuja's entry. I especially love the color combination. My only critisism would be that the text seems to clutter things a little too much with all the color going on. Perhaps just the name would have been simpler in effect. I would have softened or smudge blended the background to make the egg stand out a little more. When I first saw this enty I thought we were all toast. Truefusion's entry is cute. I get the chick/bunny that I think most people missed. I have to say the background is not to my liking. Seems a little too techy for the subject matter. Also agree that the font used is not clear enough. Things are better balanced than SkyStormKuja's. The overall thought is very cute, though. As to the comment about smudge brushes on mine, I use Paint Shop Pro, and don't have a clue what Photoshop smudge brushes do. And I did place the flare behind the text to fill in the black void, but maybe I should have softened it a little.

Hi again Echo_of_Thunder (John). I have a friend who has Spina Bifida who is, I think, 40 ish. She walked at a younger age, but became wheelchair bound as she grew older. Not what you want to hear, of course. She had trouble with quivering legs and had some nerves severed to stop that. She also has scoliosis. Her left arm and hand are paralized from a birth delivery accident of some kind. She buzzes around in her motorized chair, seems to have resolved her inner demons caused by her condition and is one of the happiest people I know. We live in a town of about 6,000 where there is little help for her, but somehow she manages to keep up her spirits. The local dial-a-ride makes getting around a little easier for her. There is no help group for her specific conditions, but she attends a local church group which is very supportive. It is wonderful to hear that you are able to walk after so long. Just goes to show that if you never give up, GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

Hello John aka: Echo_of_Thunder and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich, in Michigan, USA. bhavesh has already given the lecture about rules.

Bump for Voting Please Vote! and don't forget to tell your reason.

I gave up on organized religion a long time ago. To give my reasons would be redundant as others have already expressed most of them. Having someone preaching hell, fire and damnation to me is really not my bag. Neither is having them beg for money or dunning me for 10% of my income. I have my beliefs, but I don't shout about them or try to convert people to them. I don't need anybody intervening on my behalf. I would rather communicate directly. I don't need anybody telling me how to interpret the bible either. I am intelligent enough to figure it out for myself. I really dislike bible thumpers. If someone wants to exchange ideas with me, I am open to their thoughts on the subject. Keeping an open mind to the possibility that somebody else may have a better grasp on things is always best. We learn daily from the exchanges and experiences we have with others. I try to live by the Golden Rule, which you may laugh at, but it has served me well over my lifetime. For those who don't know what the Golden Rule is:

Well shut my whining up. After reading about all your problems, sheepdog, I am for whining at all. My problems don't hold a candle to yours. Hope things get better for you really fast. As to the goats, well that is why I never raised them. We stuck to horses, chickens, rabbits, and cows (beef and milk). Had various dogs and barn cats over the years, as well. Never had the rain problems as our land was pure beach sand and percolated great. However, it didn't grow things very well without a lot of compost. Here is a ((((((((((HUG))))))))) to try to make you feel better.

yeh, *******think, think, think, think******** Living in the middle of a national forest leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to technology. We just got touch-tone phone service. AT&T is not available here yet, as are none of the big ISPs. Cable TV is available, but cable internet access is cost prohibitive in our small community. Something like $60/month. Like, our telephone service has doubled in the past 2 years. Michigan government taxes us to death for telephone service and tacks on more charges for the 911 services. New puter is on my wish list, but somehow travel seems to come first when budgeting expenses. When I have traveled enough perhaps I will afford a new puter, but until then it is on the back burner as is the hope we will catch up with the rest of the world of technology (fat chance).

Hey, somebody else who is on dial-up. My sympathies are with you. My connection seems to be getting worse as time goes by instead of improving as promised by my ISP. Called my local puter specialist and he advised me to get a new printer. Mine is as old as my puter and both are lame. Auto-feed cannot be fixed.

Bump for voting.

Hello hoockhand and welcome to Trap 17 from Mich, in Michigan, USA. Where are you located? Come back and tell us a little more about yourself. If you are having trouble with your introduction, perhaps this will help. I'll not be redundat about spamming and rules. You can use the links just above my sig to learn all about Trap 17 if you still need to read about things. I am not into gaming, just graphics.
