I love the idea of Linus and can see its a superior operating system, but i'd be very limited in what programs i could effectively use if i switched.

I think there's a great windows emulator that runs on Linux. Not sure how effective it is, but I believe it's called WINE (WINdows Emulator). Great to check out, to say the least.

Axe. I really don't care about the smell or anything, it's just something you use to not smell like ass anyways.

I can understand the Pastor's position.

I'm not giving any opinion on tithes or religion in general. But, its my understanding that the purpose of tithes (actually 10%) is less about the church receiving money than it is about the paritioner giving it up. Its about sacrifice, like fasting. By giving up 10% of the money you get, you're showing you love God more than money, and have trust (and faith) in God to return it to you "pressed down, shaken together, and running over". Apparently, when figuring her tithes for the winnings, that in the eyes of the church, and probably her own, were the result of God's favor, she decided she didn't trust in God that much. Not accepting the 0.27%, was simply telling her, this doesn't count as a sacrifice. To me he would have been more greedy to accept the $5000, since he had no way of knowing she would come back with more.

While the black is nice and all, does it really matter that much how it looks? It's a keyboard. As long as it's comfortable, decently quiet, and functional, I wouldn't think it would be too big a deal.

Of course, I never really look at the keyboard, anyway.

I've not updated for 2 weeks....

Starting Weight - 393 lbs
Last Fortnight's weight - 372lbs
Current weight - 370lbs
Bi- Weekly Weight Loss - 2lbs
Total Weightloss - 23lbs
Weightloss needed for 10% Goal - 17lbs

The party went REALLY well, I offset the amount of food and alcohol I ate by dancing a LOT - all the really embarrasing ones, the Cha-cha slide included. The intensity of these dances probably helped me burn all the calories off. Recently though I feel I'm slipping gently to my old ways. Work has become exceptionally stressful, and that coupled with some depression has made me stretch the rules somewhat - I even had a chocolate bar (my first for a month). That said the fact I've observed the slippage is a good thing as I'm resolving to do something about it.

I'm going to a friend's house in a couple of weeks to de-stress, although the alcohol I'll drink (I drink like a fish when I'm there, posibily cause they do) will max out my points totals, but I think I NEED to relax or I'll blow this diet big style.

Overseas Taryn?

I Wish!

I do miss my friends a LOT, I feel a bit cut off cause of work. I'm sorry for not posting as much as before.

NE ways, till next time.

Mischief managed.
