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.

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:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

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.

Haven't you thought of moving up to a broadband connection at all Mich?

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).

Well, now it's my turn.

My dial up connection just kept getting worse and worse, and finally no way at all to connect to the internet. I finally decided to bite the bullet and go with satalite isp. Only problem is it is going to be over a week before the hook it up. So here I am at the public library pounding away with what little time you are allowed here online to keep my web site up and all my credits from running out. I could probably fix the old computer if I had a modem, but I am not sure that is what is wrong with it, and I hate like the devil to pay good money for a modem that I will only need for a week or so anyway. It's awful to be broke all the dang time. Even more awful not to have a computer I can check a dozen or so times a day in hopes of selling something.

Despite that, sounds like a bad day. Running out of ink messes my days up enough because the only time I ever print anything is when it's for something important. But have the auto-feed mess up too!???!!

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.

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. Do play with Doom once in while, but that is very outdated.

Have a good time here and hope to see you hosted soon.

Having raised cattle for beef, the same principal is true in the production of better quality meat. The first cross always seems to produce the best quality cuts of beef or veal depending on slaughter time. Michigan State University has proven this principal over and over again in their cross breeding experiments over many years.

We tried our own experiment and crossed a Limosine bull on a Jersey heifer to get a dual-pupose cow, like the Durham (Milking Shorthorn). Our attempt was thwarped by the birth of oposite sex twins, however. For those of you who don't know, opposite sex twins in cattle are sterile. Since the heifer was not fertile, we couldn't breed her for the milk. We did end up with delicious steaks, tho. Both of the offspring got their size from the Limosine which made for plentiful meat supply. We were able to get some supply of milk from the Jersey mother even while she was nursing her twins. She seemed to produce plenty of milk for all of us.

Thanks for the explanation about cross breeding. Seeing it in layman's terms for a change helps.

Going by my real first name.

Does your name begin with: D

Once you get it into your head that you want someone, you move full steam ahead in your suit. You do not give up your quest easily. You are nurturing and caring. If someone has a problem, this turns you on. You are highly passionate, loyal, and intense in your involvement's, sometimes possessive and jealous. You are very sharp & talented often with sense of humor. When people bother to look deep inside they cannot resist what they see. You are stimulated by the eccentric and unusual, having a free and open attitude. You get jealous of other people and lose your temper.

Going by my forum name.

Does your name begin with: M

You may appear innocent, unassuming and shy; but we know that appearances can lie. When it comes to sex, you are no novice but something of a skilled technician. You can easily go to extremes, though, running the gamut from insatiability to boredom with the whole idea of love. You can be highly critical of your mate, seeking perfection in both of you. It is not easy to find someone who can meet your standards. You have difficulty expressing emotions and drawing close to lovers. You are often selfish, thinking you are always right no matter what. You never give in. Winning is your prime desire- at any cost. You often forget friends and family and you live for the moment.

We did better with the color Personality Test.
