:hmm: So what's wrong with my avatar, and why is yours gone?

Um, some state government takes away my avatar because somebody on AD is looking for a job? Am I missing something here? My avatar was given to me as a gift for the expressed purpose of being used as an avatar, and the artist's name is written on the image. I've never taken any illegal...

I got my vitamins C and K, and I already feel better after only one night! I still have all my symptoms, but I just have a better general feeling. I'm not sure that makes sense. Yesterday, I woke up about two hours early to go to the bathroom, and my sense of direction must have been off by...

I'm vegan, so I won't be eating birds either, but noodle soup with the seasonings does the same thing. I think it's because it's nutriment, so it provides energy, and it's liquid, and it's easier to eat soup than drink a lot of stuff when you're sick, so you also get hydrated, which is...

I got the flu shot about eight weeks before I got sick. As far as I can tell, getting the flu shot reduces my chances of getting sick by about a half per cent. So, if I live for two hundred years getting my flu shot each year, odds are, I'll be able to avoid getting sick one year. I finally...

I got a flu shot too, but so far, I've been sick for 9 days with coughing and all the other cold stuff.

My audiologist made me stop drinking coffee because it was causing me to lose my balance due to Meniere's Disease. It took me about a week or two to end my withdrawals, but I'm fine about it now. I just miss the taste. Funny, I hated the taste when I started 15 years prior. I drank it for...

:rofl: :angel:

I stated in my example that Fido was off screen. This is why the captions stated that Fido was panting. If you could hear Fido panting, you would know that Fido was there. If you can't hear the panting, there would be no way of knowing Fido was there, except that the captions stated that Fido...

I watched Tinkerbell. I really liked it, and will want to watch it again sometime. My kind of movie in a lot of ways.

Captions I've seen in the United States, Canada, and Australia (granted I've never been to the UK) have a tendency to be very well designed to stay out of the way of the action, but it is positioned on screen so that you can tell who is talking or where the sound is coming from. The character's...

I was a long time very satisfied customer with Cingular at the time they were swallowed up by AT&T Wireless. Something obviously much more than the name changed at that time because my service abruptly turned to crap as soon as the cell towers changed over. I'm now anxiously waiting for my...

But it's nice to see that you're back! Subtitles tell us only what is being said. Captions indicate who is saying it, and how, and what emotion, and other expressions. Captions also tell us if a door or something else is audibly moving off-screen, or if there are birds chirping or frogs...

I was talking about subtitles as opposed to captions. My opinion is that captions are an effective means of communicating on screen whereas subtitles are ineffective. I agree that signing is an enviable means of interpreting a movie for the same reasons subtitles are, because it takes your...

I would think the opposite, that if you can manage without becoming angry so often, you're a better person than most!

I do notice that nobody prefers subtitles, even though it's becoming popular because it's the cheapest option. This is because it is ineffective. Imagine if animated movie companies decided to hire only one voice for every character, and that voice showed no emotion, and the movie had no sound...

Though this comment is off topic, I just have to say to be honest that if anybody asks me if I'm angry, I will become angry no matter what I was feeling before they asked. I don't know why. I've been trying to figure that out all my life. End of off topic comment.

Mind if I print this out and hang it on my wall? I don't think I even have to change anything in it!

LOL Yes I do collect MLP :) I can't compete with the biggest collectors out there, but I have nearly a hundred ponies and a lot of accessories. (My Colourful Little Friends in case you're curious)

Those cookies look like I made them! They are my favourite colours, and one is a butterfly :)
