When Dan Vassar time jumps, his ex-fiance Livia often time jumps to his
current space/time location. Are they psychically linked? Is their
love a love that transcends time?

If they were to embrace, would they be able to control their time jumps?

No. But both have unique birth time. So unique that it only
happened twice in the last 60 years.

| Is their love a love that transcends time?
|

No. Dan and his wife have more significant love and relationship.

| If they were to embrace, would they be able to control their
time jumps?

They were lovers. Have been in bed and done more than just
embracing, nothing happened.

Not enough ones, this is a 1600*1200 monitor.

I can beat that. 1600*1200 straight ahead, left, and right.

Dear Diary,
I've had this odd feeling for a little while. It's a surrealistically subconscious feeling that I was abducted by aliens and thoroughly probed.
Then a friend of mine told me they got me really drunk and dropped me off at a gay bar.
The bastards.

Wide screen is for television. Computers need more vertical than horizontal.

Middle is 20" LCD, other two are 19" CRTs.

Just one desktop across the three. What I'm working on in front of me. Another big thing I'm keeping an eye on or referring to on the right, and little bits on the left.

Don't be absurd. How big is your monitor again? My TV is 65".

I always find I want more vertically. For example I have the list of emails at the top and the preview pane at the bottom. Not enough height for both. Although I suppose with a very wide screen you could put them side by side?

Never found a vertical monitor.

I am a victim of the latest scam in Columbus which is happening at the Polaris Mall.
Beware, this could happen at any mall.
The scam: Two hot 21 year old blondes come to your care as you are parking.
The first one starts wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex.
The other one say comes over to your window, says, "Hi," all the while bending over with her breasts bursting their way out of her shirt.
Of course, it's impossible not to look.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they decline and beg you for a ride to the Easton Mall.
You agree and tell them to sit in the back.
On the way they start having oral sex with each other.
One eventually will crawl into the front seat and go down on you -- and here's the scam part -- while the other one steals your wallet.
So far, I was assaulted last Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but I couldn't find them Saturday or Sunday.

I don't want particular films. I watch whatever's on.

Must be a yankee thing.

Due to financial constraints, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off until further notice.

Some kind of TV service.

The angle of inclination of my stomach has nothing to do with it.

There are the odd one, but you have to hunt them down.

Blergh. Get a cheapo computer and plug it into your tv directly. Video
display of anything short of uncompressed HD is well within the
capabilities of computers costing less than $500, and you can run whatever
program you like to get stuff on the screen. I have an ancient mac mini
hooked to the DVI ports of my tv, and it can show any video you can watch
on a regular PC without skips, even when it's getting the video via a
shared drive over ethernet. I have a huge screen on my PC, and I still
wouldn't watch full-length video on it. It's all about the couch and
perfectly tuned viewing distance. *

I've never known a film not get shown on a TV channel.

I do actually. A fat guy at work was having trouble with his laptop radio network reception. It actually failed to work when he was sat at the desk, and worked when I was sat there!

I cannot swivel, it would be too tall at the diagonal point to fit under the protective hood.

Always talk to your wife while you're making love -- if there's a phone handy.

Everything you refer to belongs to a friend of yours. Don't you have anything of your own?

I live with my wife and family. Neil presently lives with his daddy but that
will change when he gets married later this year.

This is leaving Neil open to ridicule.

A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, "Low Bridge Ahead."
Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.
Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?"
The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

Doesn't the whole demon.local regular pretty much cover the "open for
