People lose things all the time. There was a woman named Betty who worked with my mom. This was a respectable woman in her 50's. She went to the gyno for a check-up. While waiting in the doctor's office, she had to use the toilet, because she had to urinate. Soon after, the doctor called her into the examination room. She got up on the table, and put her feet into the stirrups(spelling?) so that her legs were separated. The doctor looked into her vagina at the start of the exam, and looked a little startled looking up first at her then at the nurse. She became scared as to what could have startled the doctor. She thought there might be something very wrong. The doctor asked the nurse for a pair of tweezers which he then used to extract something from her. It was an S&H green stamp. They are a bit smaller that postage stamps and are given out at supermarkets at the register after paying for your food. They are then pasted in books that are used for various merchandise. It seems that the doctor's bathroom had no toilet paper and she used a tissue to dry herself. This stamp was sticking to the tissue as it has one side that has glue to be able to stick in the book. When she dried herself, the stamp stuck to her vagina. As the doctor held the stamp in front of her, he asked her: "Been giving out stamps?" She felt like she wanted to die.
 
I know this is going totally off topic, but years ago, I had to go for my offshore (oil & gas) medical check up to keep my certificate up to date.
As you did in those days, we first went out for lunch and drank sh*t piles of beer. At the medical center, I was given a plastic cup and asked to give a urine sample. I was busting but the lady walked with me and stood out side the door.
She started banging on the door shouting "No, in the cup" I shouted back "You had better bring me a bigger cup then"
Those were the days, can't get away with it now..........:beer

Didn't know the Japs designed the car. You learn something every day.

Not Japs but Jap (Joji Nagashima) because it was only one in the design team of the E36, including our beloved Z3.
There is no angle you can look at this car and you dislike.:watching:
The first car made by BMW outside the Munchen factory.
And my deep believe is that Z3's design is inspired from the Italian automobile school! which makes this car very cosmopolite.........;)

I promised you something about the wood in the conversation but I couldn't post the pictures so I had to come here: Pasted from the conversation:

When you showed me the picture of the fireplace on your tv, I thought sometimes you're better off with that instead of all the work of getting your own wood supply to keep the wood stove burning during the winter months. Mine is usually going 24/7. While its a lot of work, there are many benefits. For some reason, the heat from the wood stove is much more comfortable than the heat from other home heating systems. I usually get the wood for free since the forests around here are Pine, which I don't burn, and oak. I usually cut and split myself. The oak, especially if its just cut, can be very heavy because of all the water in it. A segment cut out of a large trunk can weigh 200 pounds. By cutting and splitting my own wood, I really get a workout for free, so I don't have to join a gym. I don't have to pay to heat the house. You do have to have a few good chainsaws, about 3. One for light work, cutting small stuff, 14 inch bar, medium work, about 16 to 20 inch bar, and I also have one for really big stuff, 35 inch bar. I got that one from Canada. You need a good heavy duty log splitter. The last one I bought has a 30 ton ram. And earplugs. I'm a sucker for buying a broken chainsaw and fixing it. I think I have 12 or 13 saws now. I usually bring in enough wood from outside to last 2 or 3 days

You can see some funny things when you split open some wood. (What were those trees doing when we weren't looking?

Last picture was taken the other night from work when the fire alarm went off and we had to go outside on the boarkwalk at 5:30 in the morning and wait to be called inside, both dealers and customers:

We have had a telescope for a few years now but never really done much with it. Anyway Val connected her Canon D1000 to it the other evening and got this nice pic of the moon. Not bad for a first attempt

I took this a few months ago while doing some tests with the quadcopter. It's an 8mp grab from the video.

Hi Mick

I know when I have blood work done and they remove the needle after sticking me in the arm, and put cotton and a piece of tape on it, how painful it is removing the tape with all the hair on my arm. Now, about that white bow..............

They just started to admit on tv and media that traditional heating (burning wood in the stove) it's not only the healthiest solution , but the one with the smallest carbon print! This is not what the gas and power companies want to hear, because if we come back to wood we will not pay them hundreds and hundreds of dollars every month!

Me too I still keep in the house two ceramic stove made with the house, about 80 years ago and have in project to have them checked and to make it operational for the next winter.......and to feel again the smell and the warm radiation.....and I totally agree that splitting wood is fun (finding the best solutions) and a very good exercise too!

Manipulated in Photoshop - here is the how to ...
  1. Duplicate background onto new layer
  2. Convert layer to sepia
  3. Select area of car, then invert the selection
  4. Create layer mask ( coloured image of car should now punch through sepia layer)
  5. Resize image
