Have you tried talking to someone who writes or at least is familiar with asian languages or arabic? Hiragana looks somthing like that as well as some chinese characters. I can't think of an exact match, but maybe someone in the language department of the nearest university might be a good place to look. -------------------- Instant Human-Just add liberal doses of Coffee.

That makes two old women here then!  I'm the other 36 year old "crone". I have to concur, that age seems ancient to my teenage son, and spiderwebs games are very, very replayable. -------------------- Instant Human-Just add liberal doses of Coffee.

If its 7:30pm here in Portland (same time zone as Jeff), it is 1:30am give or take an hour. I'm not sure about the day though, we might be a day behind.

I use a desk top size of 1024x768. My screen won't resize on exit. My desktop stays at 800 x 600 rather than reseting to my prior resultion. I use full screen. The windowed setting is too small to see well. Is there a way to set the game so that my old desktop size comes back after I exit BoA?

My websites are lost and confused. Only one still exsists. I lost the password (geocities/angelfire type site I forget which one) and it has not been updated since an old college business project. I would constantly forget what was on the other websites & have to look for things my friends asked me about. The last website died of neglect & I pulled the plug about at year ago. I'm one of the old folks here. My son, my job, finding a few hours a week to game/email/play with the puter, my compulsive reading habits, and my need to get at least 4-6 hours sleep a night conspire to keep me too busy. The busy schedule keeps me a lurker. Blaming my sense of humor was a mostly a joke.

Christie, The treasures hidden amongst the junk is what makes most websites. I think yours is nice it has personality. Makes it enjoyable. I'm glad I'm not the only one who looses track of what is on my website. Now if I would just quit losing the pesky things. spy there, Why too bad? too few girls? is there actually someone else in the world that(gasp) enjoys my humor? or ??? -------------------- Instant Human-Just add liberal doses of Coffee.

Welcome Christie! I love the shots of you on the medeival page. Nice sword & great to see another girl here. The drawing for the dragon cavanoskus is great. Christie Vs Photoshop is hauntingly beautiful. NICE mistake. I wish my goofs with the photo editor turned out that well. I hope you have a wonderful time here despite the odd characters that inhabit this forum. I am usually just a lurker unless somthing really catches my eye. I don't think anyone here gets my odd sense of humor so I usually don't burden them with it. -------------------- Instant Human-Just add liberal doses of Coffee.

Thank you!!! Nice to have the archive. Is there any chance that you or anyone else here has the Xian Skull topic? I loved that joke despite the flame wars it generated. I would really like to see a copy. I was being a bit of ditz and missed that file while making back ups B/4 I changed hard drives. Edit: Ignore this if its in the archive.

Amer-Asian: 1/2 Korean, 1/2 mutt (French, Welsh, Norwegian, English, German) The South Korean side is probably pure. The whole Country has a racial purity thing. The american side is more questionable. I am sure of the first 3.

Ko chu jung (sp?) and rice! mmmm ko chu Jung or how ever its spelled is a Korean hot sauce/paste. Chorrizo & eggs makes the best scrambled eggs. Heat the chorrizo chunks in the pan until rendered, once the sausage has rendered add well beaten eggs. salt to taste. cook like scrambled eggs enjoy! And of course the one and only perfect food chocolate cheesecake!!!! In all fairness I have to credit the food network for the next two recipes. I use both. Love both. I got the basic recipes online and play with them every time. I usually at least double the vanilla & use real bourbon vanilla extract or bourbon vanilla beans if I can get them. 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 2 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 lemon, zested 1 orange, zested 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cocoa powder (I prefer ghiradelli) 5 eggs 2 egg yolks 1/2 cup sour cream semi-sweet chocolate Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar and mix well. Press onto bottom of springform pan and bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. When completely cooled, butter the sides of the pan. Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, zests and vanilla and beat until light and creamy. Add the flour & cocoa powder then the eggs and yolks 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and mix until smooth. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F and bake for 1 hour more. Transfer cake to a cooling rack and let cool completely. Refrigerate cake overnight. Melt chocolate over double boiler. dizzle over cheesecake. chill till chocolate is set. And last but not least the long awaited ice cream recipe I usually make a half batch it works both ways. 10 cups heavy cream 5 cups whole milk Pinch salt 3 cups sugar 3 vanilla beans 24 large egg yolks Variations: Chocolate-Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream: 3/4 cup whole milk 16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped in chunks Strawberry Cheese Cake Ice Cream: 1 1/2 cups strawberry preserves, no sugar added 1/2 frozen strawberry cheesecake, cut in large chunks 10 large fresh strawberries, halved To make the vanilla ice cream: Combine the cream, milk, salt, and 2 cups of the sugar in a large pot. Split the vanilla beans down the middle lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a paring knife; add them to the pot and toss in the pods for added flavor. Place the cream mixture over medium heat, and bring up to a simmer; stirring with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Ideally, the temperature should reach 175 degrees F (just below scalding) for a smooth-textured ice cream; this should take about 15 minutes. Shut off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the cream mixture to steep for 15 minutes to further infuse the vanilla flavor. In the meantime, combine the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl and blend them lightly with a wire whisk. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of sugar and continue to whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved and the eggs are thick and pale yellow; about 6 minutes. Using a large ladle or measuring cup, temper the eggs by gradually whisking in about 4 cups of the hot cream mixture. Return this back to the rest of the cream in the saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low. Stir constantly until the custard thickens and leaves a path on the back of a spoon when you run your finger across it, about 10 to 12 minutes (do not let boil.) Pour the vanilla custard through a fine strainer and chill completely in a sink full of ice, stirring here and there; this should take about 1 hour. Ideally, let the ice cream base "age" overnight in the refrigerator before churning in an ice cream maker to improve the flavor and texture of the final product – but it is still good if you decide to process it right away. Divide the ice cream into quarts and churn each in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. When done, the ice cream will be the consistency of "soft serve." To harden the ice cream fully, freeze in plastic covered containers. To make the Chocolate-Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream: Heat 3/4 up of milk in a pot over medium-low heat. Add 12 ounces of the chopped chocolate and stir until completely melted. Pour 1 quart of the strained hot vanilla ice cream base into the melted chocolate and stir until very well incorporated. Chill and process as directed in the master recipe. Fold in the remaining 4 ounces of chopped chocolate after churning while the ice cream is in the "soft-serve" stage. Churn another 1 to 2 minutes just until combined. To make the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream: Mix the strawberry preserves into the vanilla custard just before you start churning in the ice cream maker. Add the pieces of strawberry cheesecake and fresh strawberries after churning while the ice cream is in the "soft-serve" stage. Continue to churn for an additional 5 minutes or until combined but still chunky. Play with it. Just add any flavorings to the basic recipe when its sort of soft set. Or to the hot custard for the liquid to semi liquid flavoring to change it to chocolate, strawberry, etc. My favorite is to stir in peanut butter and chopped reeses peanutbutter cups at the soft serve stage. Caramel sauce and chocolate chips at soft serve stage works great too. -------------------- Instant Human-Just add liberal doses of Coffee. Posts: 87 | Registered: Sunday, March 10 2002 08:00 |

I have to admit to being another escapist. Nothing like escaping the daily grind and joining a world where I don't have responsibilites. I read about a book a day if I have time. Sci/Fi, fantasy, Mystery, General fiction. Favorite authors are way too many to list. I am currently reading McCaffrey (Anne & Todd), Lackey, Brooks, LLewelyn & Czerneda. Da Vinci's Daughter was a good read. The classics are usually wonderful novels that have stood the test of time with a few unfortunate exceptions. Wuthering Heights is probably great for those who will eventually read SHUDDER Harlequin Romances. Shakespeare is often a boring read but remember his plays were meant to be seen. I prefer his comedies to his tragedies though, especially A Mid Summer's Night Dream. I only watch TV when I have to. Like when my son or boyfriend insists I watch a show with them. I vaguely remember Shogun. Not a bad book. Clavel even did some research into the culture if I remember right. Its been a decade or so since I read that one.
