   On set with MattyB

   Well, I don't have a blog and don't think anyone would read it if I did. But I do have you guys as friends, so I thought I'd post some on set pics of a short film I did this week. Some might find it interesting. I played Lt. Clifford Delmer, and got to brandish my weapon and talk some trash. It was fun. In full gear.

   Outdoor Furniture Cushions

   March 30, 2008 by Kathryn

   I am looking for some cushions for outdoor furniture that can take lots of rain without mildewing. I had some for many years that worked great, but need replacing and I can’t find something similar. The old cushions were covered in a “fabric” that was woven from plastic strands. The cushiony filling must have been plastic also. Even just the plastic fabric would be great - I know someone who could make the cushions. Any ideas where I can find something like this?

    Just received the below email. I was wondering do some people fall for this and give them the information they want? I'm sure a few have or they wouldn't be sending these type of emails out like this. Hey, maybe I'm passing up a big opportunity to get a negotiable percentage of the funds and take that around the world trip visiting every botanical garden and wonder of the world that interests me! LOL Here it is: FROM: PRINCE MOHAMMED I believe you are doing fine today.

    Microwave hardy ants

    How long does it take to microwave an Argentine ant? Don't know. After nuking my dinner for 1.5 minutes I noticed there was a live ant in the microwave. Hmm, try another 30 seconds, still alive. Add another 2 minutes... So how long do you have to nuke an ant to kill it? Don't know, I might break the microwave trying.

    I've been meaning to post pictures from my trip to CR a couple years ago for the sake of everyone going on the biennial. I'm sure you've seen a bunch of palm related pics so far so maybe this will give you a glimpse of some other facets of the country/forests. House I stayed in in San Jose. No screens/glass here. Suicide-showers. Obviously kids used this b-ball court to play football.

    I designed a silly, Palm-related T-shirt for myself but it is kind of expensive to make just a few shirts. It occurred to me that maybe a few of you out there would like a palm-related T-shirt as well! If I could "round up" at least 12 orders then I could get them for $18.00 and then it would cost around $4.50 to mail it to you! ($22.50 total) I will try to post a more detailed pic!

    Conservationist or not?

    Do you consider yourself a conservationist? Note, I did not say conservative. This has nothing to do with politics, but with philosophy, things like composting, recycling, energy efficiency. But just to be safe, this is a poll only with no comments.

    Howdyall: I keep getting a message on my computer telling me that the virtual memory is too small. I note that I often cannot view pictures posted on this Board. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the pictures I downloaded from my Excellent Florida Adventure. Windows says to just go to system, and change the size of the "paging file." So, what will happen if I make it too big? Are there any side effects I don't know about? Sage counsel appreciated. dave, humbly
