What the hell?...

Monday, January 5, 2004 by milktm | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

what the hell is going on with this site? Not only have I had to register for the third time in a couple of months (second time in a matter of days) because every time I try to log in, for some reason my email is "not on the db", but now, I can't even check out new skins without downloading a piece of software for which I have to pay?... Hello! Sorry, but if WinCustomize becomes that painful to use, from something really good only weeks ago, then I'll get skins from somewhere else. I don't want to have to pay for a software just to download the odd WMP skin. This is ridiculous.

Sorry about the whinge, but this site has been driving me mad for the last 20mins trying to log in, register, find something, and at the end, I have nothing... >

Free your mind and your ass will follow

Why do you need a Donkey to follow you around IP?

What's nice about snow chains is when somebody who knows nothing puts them on their car/truck and doesn't "maintain" them.  It's amazing the damage they can do if they let go!

Kona, I doubt that you are going to drive on a freeway with chains on your tires....unless you don't like your teeth

If you have a rear wheel drive car, put a ton of weight in the back of it. (And get snow tires for the back of them....or put a battery in your Escort...)  

I grew up in Northern Michigan.  It used to snow so much that you could look out your window and not tell where the snowbank ended and the snow covering your car started.  It's possible to get around in that stuff, you just have to pay attention to what's going on and know how to handle your car.  I remember an ice storm up there once that you couldn't stand on the road.  If your car stopped, it would slide off the road (if the road was sloped right).  Somehow I made it home from school and my parents made it home from work (poor Dad worked even further north).

I kinda' miss all that....

remember the winter of 1976?

Maine was buried in the white stuff with 7 - 9 foot drifts! I remember walking to and from school to my cousins house at lunch and the sides of the road made you feel like you where walking in a trough. If I can dig them up I have some pic's of me standing on the snow with my foot on top of a stop sign which you can only see the top two inches above the snow.

I actually kinda liked it up there in winter.

We lived on the banks of the river running between Canada and the USA. Used to cross over the train bridge into Canada and go fishing, hunting, camping, skinny dipping and partying a few times when I was older. Suzzan Miller and Kristy Brown, WOW, odd thing about up there is everyone talked about how they were all going to leave and none of them did... I mean some left, but all return in time.

The other thing about it up there was you couldn't really do anything and not have everyone know about it

Not all of the on-going 'issues' are the fault of the targets, but the fault of those with the 'guns'


I agree with this.

Barely...I was 4
However, I do have a picture of my Mom with bell bottoms on sitting on top of her car.  You can't tell it's her car, though, because everything was completely snowed in.  It very well could have been that year because I was extremely little at the time.

I wouldn't if I were you. Portland isn't out of the woods yet. Judging by the Ice I still see outside here in Albany, could be days.

Just checked the weather...and it is "supposed" to be up to 45 tomorrow. I'll believe it when i see it! of course, I have slush up to my ears right now. We're supposed to have the freezing weather, not you.
