Hi mils. How are you?

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I'm fine, Kurch. I hope all is well with you, too. :D :p

The TMF seems to be having intermittent freezes, though. :( :(

[kurchatovium]

(Is the site a bit slow today or is it just me?)

:D :p

[milagros317]

It's not just you, I've had long pauses after hitting "submit reply" tonight. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I'm fine, Kurch. I hope all is well with you, too. :D :p

The TMF seems to be having intermittent freezes, though. :( :(

My air conditioner broke down and its like 90 here today. :(

Ahhhhhhhhh ok. I noticed the same thing. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Very sorry to hear that your air conditioner broke. :( :(
Here it will soon be below 20 degrees. Please send us some of your heat. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

You can have it all. Its holding back my work now. :(

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

That really sucks. :( :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

That really sucks. :( :(
:D :p

Yea happened last night so I did not sleep so well. :(

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Ugh, not being able to sleep due to excessive heat is really awful. :( :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Ugh, not being able to sleep due to excessive heat is really awful. :( :(
:D :p

Yea we are gonna buy a new AC tomorrow. I just hope the guy can install with hurting any of my computer equipment.

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I sure hope so, you don't need any computer problems.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I sure hope so, you don't need any computer problems.
:D :p

I know I am so close at this point. I can hardly wait to release my stuff. Not sure how well it will sell. So far at least everyone likes the banner. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, I'm one of those who likes your banner. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, I'm one of those who likes your banner. :D :p

Thanks. I appreciate it.

So far the feedback is all positive. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I love the graphics in your galleries, too. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I love the graphics in your galleries, too. :D :p

Thanks.

The website will be completely redone. Not sure how I will redo the galleries yet. Naviagtion will be through magical orbs in lovely land, sea and spacescapes. :D :p

[milagros317]

That sounds like a fine idea. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

That sounds like a fine idea. :D :p

The only problem is some of the newer stuff uses flash technology. Do you think most people have flash on their computers? :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I'm not sure about that. The people near me at work do, but that's because we all got new computers with all kinds of neat capabilities about a year ago. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I'm not sure about that. The people near me at work do, but that's because we all got new computers with all kinds of neat capabilities about a year ago. :D :p

Yea thats one of the hold ups I have now. The new stuff looks flashier but needs the Adobe Flash Player.

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I do have the adobe flash player at home because I got used to having it at work and wanted it, but I suspect many people don't have it on their home computer.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I do have the adobe flash player at home because I got used to having it at work and wanted it, but I suspect many people don't have it on their home computer.
:D :p

Ok. It is free. Its just a question of how much junk people want on their computer. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, I downloaded it for free. Many people don't bother because they never needed it before. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, I downloaded it for free. Many people don't bother because they never needed it before. :D :p

More and more stuff requires it now though. :(

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, I'm afraid that's true. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, I'm afraid that's true. :(
:D :p

Makes it difficult for me cause I want stuff to look state of the art but also want everyone to be able to access everything.

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I see the dilemma, you can't have both. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I see the dilemma, you can't have both. :(
:D :p

I am leaning towards the flash as it is used so much now. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Indeed, as time goes on, more and more people will have it. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Indeed, as time goes on, more and more people will have it. :D :p

I would think so. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I need the Adobe flash player just to see the graphics on the Dodgers official website. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I need the Adobe flash player just to see the graphics on the Dodgers official website. :D :p

Its required by alot of sites now. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

It's needed for many of the games on the Neopets site, too. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

It's needed for many of the games on the Neopets site, too. :D :p

What are neopets they sound kinda cool? :D :D :p

[milagros317]

You can play a lot of games there but the name comes from the ability to create virtual pets. :D :p

[milagros317]

The pets are all purely fictional creatures, no bunnies, sorry. :(

[kurchatovium]

Awwwwwwwwww. Its ok I gots enough bunnies of my own. :p

Hi mils. How are you? :D :p

[milagros317]

I'm fine, Kurch. I hope all is well with you and that you have A/C again. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I'm fine, Kurch. I hope all is well with you and that you have A/C again. :D :p

Good to hear.

I wont have AC till Tuesday as my unit is coming from Ottawa. :(

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Rats, that is a long time to wait. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Rats, that is a long time to wait. :(
:D :p

If I am lucky I might get it by Saturday. :)

:D :p

[milagros317]

I hope it cools off there for you in the meantime. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I hope it cools off there for you in the meantime. :D :p

It should. Seems to be taking its time though. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Here it is quite cold. Brrr. :(
:D:p

[kurchatovium]

You mean it less then 70 degrees there. :p ;)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Below 20 degrees overnight. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Below 20 degrees overnight. :(
:D :p

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Isnt that abnormally cold for New York?

(Thanks for the congratulations thread my friend.)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Only slightly colder than average for this time of year. :(
:D :p

(You're welcome, my friend. Now that you're over 50,000 posts, only multiples of 5,000 are important for you. :rowfull: )

[kurchatovium]

:D :p

(You're welcome, my friend. Now that you're over 50,000 posts, only multiples of 5,000 are important for you. :rowfull: )

Wow. Always thought only Wisconsin and Minnesota got that cold routinely.

(LOL I guess so. I reached 50,000 posts at age 50 does that mean I will be 100 when I hit 100,000 :p )

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

In Minnesota, it's below 0 routinely in the winter and sometimes way below 0. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

In Minnesota, it's below 0 routinely in the winter and sometimes way below 0. :eek:
:D :p

True. A lot of that is from the Great Lakes I think right. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I still wish to retire to a warmer climate, and one with no or little state income tax, so don't mention California.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I still wish to retire to a warmer climate, and one with no or little state income tax, so don't mention California.
:D :p

LOL Well California is warm. However it will be an EPIC FAIL on the state tax issue I think. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, between the high CA state income tax and the huge sales tax there, it is a very expensive place to live. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, between the high CA state income tax and the huge sales tax there, it is a very expensive place to live. :eek:
:D :p

At least it wont be very crowded in a few more years. LOL Everyone is moving out. :p

:D :p

[milagros317]

I have a cousin who lives in the state of Washington and he and his wife complain that they are being overrun by former Californians. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I have a cousin who lives in the state of Washington and he and his wife complain that they are being overrun by former Californians. :D :p

Yes there is a large migration to Oregon and Washington. The biggest problem for CA is most of the people leaving are the wealthy. This means the people who are likely to employ you or start up a new business wont be here. Its a problem the state goverment seems to routinely overlook as they raise taxes. :(

:D :p

[milagros317]

Quite so. The only way to stop the wealthy leaving to avoid high taxes is to build a wall (as they did in East Germany). :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Quite so. The only way to stop the wealthy leaving to avoid high taxes is to build a wall (as they did in East Germany). :D :p

Well if CA goes that route they will probably call it Infrastructure Rebuliding and raise my taxes to pay for it. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

LOL :p

Actually I visited there (Berlin, the city then divided by the wall) in that era.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

LOL :p

Actually I visited there (Berlin, the city then divided by the wall) in that era.
:D :p

I knew A German Engineer who escaped East Germany before they got the wall up. Smart fellow. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, that was good timing. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, that was good timing. :D :p

Yea he had good timing. He also left Dresden the day before it was massively bombed.

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Wow, that was really, really lucky considering what happened to Dresden. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Wow, that was really, really lucky considering what happened to Dresden. :eek:
:D :p

Yes very^99999999999999999999999999 lucky I would say. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

Did you keep in touch with this engineer? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Did you keep in touch with this engineer? :D :p

I use to. Sadly he had a stroke and passed away. :( :cry1:

[General Zod]

I can't wait for spring Or even the end of February :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Its 85 here today. :( A bit cooler at least.

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I wish it were 85 here. :D :p

[General Zod]

Its 85 here today. :( A bit cooler at least.

:D :D :p

Please to send some of that heat our way my friend :D :p:ilikepie:

[kurchatovium]

I wish it were 85 here. :D :p

I would be more then happy to give you about 20 of our degrees. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I would be more than happy to take them. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Please to send some of that heat our way my friend :D :p:ilikepie:

My AC broke down so I would be more then happy to ship you some heat. LOL

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Hope you do get it fixed Saturday (instead of Monday), Kurch. :D :p

[General Zod]

My AC broke down so I would be more then happy to ship you some heat. LOL

:D :D :p

I saw your post about that earlier :( Any idea when you'll get the replacement? :D :p

[milagros317]

My AC is rather noisy but I'm willing to put up with that in the summer. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I saw your post about that earlier :( Any idea when you'll get the replacement? :D :p

Looks like Tuesday now. Its coming from Ottawa. :p

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

Looks like Tuesday now. Its coming from Ottawa. :p

:D :D :p

Hopefully it won't get held up by the weather :eek:

:D :p

[milagros317]

:D :D :p

Rats, that's a long time. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Hopefully it won't get held up by the weather :eek:

:D :p


Rats, that's a long time. :(
:D :p

Yup hopefully. Guess the AC is in Ottawa cause everyone knows how incredibly hot Ottawa gets. :p LOL

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I imagine there are far fewer AC's in Canada, yes. :D :p

[General Zod]

Yup hopefully. Guess the AC is in Ottawa cause everyone knows how incredibly hot Ottawa gets. :p LOL

:D :D :p

I would imagine it gets hot maybe 5 or 6 days a year up there :p

It does seem odd the AC has to come from there What brand is it? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I imagine there are far fewer AC's in Canada, yes. :D :p

I would think so. :)


I would imagine it gets hot maybe 5 or 6 days a year up there :p

Its a Kenmore. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Canada is where they have dipstick heaters for their cars in winter, not AC's. :D :p

[General Zod]

Canada is where they have dipstick heaters for their cars in winter, not AC's. :D :p

I have heard of block heaters for cars,but not dipstick heaters Maybe the same thing? Even some northern states have places to plug in your car or truck to keep the engine block warm :D :p

[milagros317]

It's the same idea. The electric heating element is in the shape of a dipstick and is inserted as one while plugged in. It keeps the oil warm and hence the engine block warm while the car is parked. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Canada is where they have dipstick heaters for their cars in winter, not AC's. :D :p

Sounds about right. :p

:D :D :p :p

[General Zod]

It's the same idea. The electric heating element is in the shape of a dipstick and is inserted as one while plugged in. It keeps the oil warm and hence the engine block warm while the car is parked. :D :p

It is a good idea to use something like that during the winter I will keep my truck engine on tonight I will not freeze for anyone :p

:D :p

[General Zod]

I guess there are no more Kenmore factories in the U.S,? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

When I think dipsticks I tend to think of politicians Maybe its just me . :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

It is a good idea to use something like that during the winter I will keep my truck engine on tonight I will not freeze for anyone :p

:D :p

Right, it's different if somebody is in the vehicle. The dipstick heater is for empty cars. :D :p

[General Zod]

When I think dipsticks I tend to think of politicians Maybe its just me . :p

:D :D :p

Them,and Roscoe P.Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard show :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I guess there are no more Kenmore factories in the U.S,? :D :p

I think its more like there are not many Sears warehouses in the US.

:D :p

[milagros317]

I think its more like there are not many Sears warehouses in the US.

:D :p

Yes, Sears is gone from the New York area. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, Sears is gone from the New York area. :D :p

Apparently not so present in CA either anymore. LOL :p

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

I forgot Kenmore was a Sears brand :facepalm: It has been a real long time since I have delivered to a sears warehouse :D :p

[milagros317]

Many of the famous old companies like that are gone.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I forgot Kenmore was a Sears brand :facepalm: It has been a real long time since I have delivered to a sears warehouse :D :p

If you did looks like you would have to drive to Canada LOL

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

Sears is still around They,and K Mart went in partnership a few years back :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Sears is still around They,and K Mart went in partnership a few years back :D :p

Yea there are some stores here in LA.

:D :p

[General Zod]

The Sears warehouses I remember taking loads to were...........


Manteno,IL-a bit south of Chicago

Wilkes-Barre,PA

Ontario,California

Them,and our companies must have parted ways awhile back :D :p

[milagros317]

There are only two K-Marts in Manhattan, no Sears and no WalMart.
:D :p

[General Zod]

Trying to think of when Woolworth's went under :D :p

[milagros317]

It's been a long time. There used to be a Woolworth's within walking distance of my apartment.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Woolworth went under. Montgomery Ward went under.

We have a Walmart in the valley. :bounce: Its not a superstore though.

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

I have heard Kay B toy store is going out of business :(

I remember when they sold a good selection of plastic models as well as toys :D :p

I hadn't heard that. Too bad. :(

Never heard of them.

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

I also remember two other dept.stores in my home area

Nichol's

and

Two Guys :D :p

[milagros317]

I also remember ...

Two Guys :D :p

Wow, I haven't seen or even thought of Two Guys stores in maybe 40 years. :D :p

[General Zod]

Wow, I haven't seen or even thought of Two Guys stores in maybe 40 years. :D :p

I remember the one that was in Reading,PA It was probably the early 80's when it closed up They had Two Guys in NY as well? :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Wow, I haven't seen or even thought of Two Guys stores in maybe 40 years. :D :p

Never heard of Two Guys. Use to be a Good Guys. Was like Best Buy. They went out of business though. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

No, not in New York. There was a Two Guys store in Paramus, New Jersey, when I was a kid growing up near there. :D :p

[General Zod]

No, not in New York. There was a Two Guys store in Paramus, New Jersey, when I was a kid growing up near there. :D :p

I see :D


Dept. stores just aren't what they used to be :(

:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Maybe Two Guys hired someone and its Three Guys now. :p

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

Never heard of Two Guys. Use to be a Good Guys. Was like Best Buy. They went out of business though. :D :D :p

Two Guys was probably just a few states store :D :p

[milagros317]

No, they aren't. The biggest, Macy's, is both more expensive and less friendly to shop in than it used to be. :(

:D :p

[General Zod]

Maybe Two Guys hired someone and its Three Guys now. :p

:D :D :p

:D :p

[milagros317]

I have a vague memory from childhood that those stores started out as "Two Guys from Harrison" because the two owners were from Harrison, New Jersey. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

ha

ha

:D :p

Course if they are no longer around. Then it probably No Guys. :p

:D :D :p

[General Zod]

Mils

Is that real big toy store still in NYC? I can't remember the name sadly :D :p

[General Zod]

Course if they are no longer around. Then it probably No Guys. :p

:D :D :p

Maybe it's now known as Two Ladies? :p

:D " :p

[kurchatovium]

Maybe it's now known as Two Ladies? :p

:D " :p

Ooooooooo I like that idea. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes! That memory was accurate. :D :p



Two Guys was a discount store primarily operating in the New York metropolitan area and headquartered in northern New Jersey until the early 1980s. It was founded in 1946 in Harrison, New Jersey by brothers Sidney Hubschman and Herbert Hubschman as Two Guys from Harrison. The company originally sold major appliances such as televisions.

In 1959, the company acquired O.A. Sutton Corp., manufacturers of electric fans, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. The merged company was renamed Vornado, Inc., after O.A. Sutton's Vornado line of appliances. At its peak, there were more than 100 Two Guys locations nationwide, including Upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, and Maryland.

As Vornado's commercial fortunes declined throughout the mid-to-late 1970s, they began selling off Two Guys stores to various companies. In late 1980, Vornado (later renamed to Vornado Realty Trust) was acquired by Interstate Properties, Inc. after Interstate won a proxy fight. Interstate began the process of liquidating its Two Guys outlets, which had posted a loss of $20 million for the first half of 1981.

Yea Florida usually manages to stay pretty warm. :D :D :p

[milagros317]

The Gulf Stream helps them out; warm water is good. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Not so good in terms of Hurricanes though. :eek:

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

True, they get all too many hurricanes. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

True, they get all too many hurricanes. :eek:
:D :p

I think Texas gets more but they are probably like #2. :eek:

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Some years when I went down there in March for spring training the damage from hurricanes was obvious.
:D :p

:D :p

Yea I can imagine. That whole gulf coast area gets pounded sometimes. Very sad. :(

:D :p

[milagros317]

Now that the Dodgers no longer have spring training there, I have no reason to go to Florida any longer.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Now that the Dodgers no longer have spring training there, I have no reason to go to Florida any longer.
:D :p

Yup Arizona does not get a lot of hurricanes. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I bought my tickets today for two Dodger home games in spring training in Arizona. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I bought my tickets today for two Dodger home games in spring training in Arizona. :D :p

Cool. Arizona is a great state. No DST there. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I will be staying in Phoenix near the Dodgers new spring stadium which is in Glendale, a suburb. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I will be staying in Phoenix near the Dodgers new spring stadium which is in Glendale, a suburb. :D :p

Does it get hot in that area? :D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, it is the desert. But in March it is usually fine there. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, it is the desert. But in March it is usually fine there. :D :p

Ok. Thats good. :)

:D :D :p :p

[milagros317]

After the sun sets, you need a jacket there in March. It gets chilly at night. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

After the sun sets, you need a jacket there in March. It gets chilly at night. :D :p

I dont mind chilly I just cant take the heat to well. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

With no AC, I can see why you're unhappy with the heat.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

With no AC, I can see why you're unhappy with the heat.
:D :p

Yea and these art computer systems put out like 500 watts of heat. :wowzer:

:D :p

[milagros317]

Yes, that makes it much worse if you're in the room with all the computers. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yes, that makes it much worse if you're in the room with all the computers. :eek:
:D :p

Thats why I got an AC with a few more BTU's then recomended for my room. :D :p

[milagros317]

I see. And you can't get any work done if you leave the room with all the computers.
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I see. And you can't get any work done if you leave the room with all the computers.
:D :p

Exactly if I can keep the room cool enough with the computers on I can get a lot more work done. :)

:D :p

[milagros317]

Let's hope the AC gets fixed soon. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Let's hope the AC gets fixed soon. :D :p

Yea I hope its a good one and so at least I will be set for spring and summer. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

General Zod hasn't appeared tonight. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

General Zod hasn't appeared tonight. :(
:D :p

No he hasnt. :( Must be delivering a load.

[milagros317]

[kurchatovium]

I won't be here tomorrow night; seeing MZ. :D :p

Cool. Congratulations. Hope you have lots of fun my friend. :)

:D :p

[milagros317]

Thank you, I do always enjoy seeing her. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Thank you, I do always enjoy seeing her. :D :p

You are most welcome. Its not always easy to find a Domme that fits your needs. So I am glad that you did. :)

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

You are right, there are so many different interests and some Dommes don't like all of them. I am very lucky to have found her. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

You are right, there are so many different interests and some Dommes don't like all of them. I am very lucky to have found her. :D :p

Yea it can be a tough fit. :(

:D :p

[milagros317]

I have certainly met Dommes that I would not be compatible with, for example that require heavy corporal as part of any session. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I have certainly met Dommes that I would not be compatible with, for example that require heavy corporal as part of any session. :eek:
:D :p

Exactly. I ran into a few that were heavily into nasty stuff. Like inserting needles and pins into my naughty bits. :eek:

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

Ugh, that kind of CBT would send me away from her, permanently. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Ugh, that kind of CBT would send me away from her, permanently. :eek:
:D :p

I even meant one that literally wanted to crucify her subs on a real cross. :eek: Wayyyyyyyyyyy to intense for me. :p

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I would not care for that at all. :eek:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

I would not care for that at all. :eek:
:D :p

Yea. It is also very risky as it can result in permanent nerve damage to the hands and feet. :eek:

:D :D :p

[milagros317]

I have the feeling that Mistress Stephanie Locke would not be like that. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

I have the feeling that Mistress Stephanie Locke would not be like that. :D :p

I am positive too she is not like that. She is a true professional and takes very good care of her subs which is as it should be. :)

:D :D :p
