Yupper, the one that's not a nickel is the quarter. I think I was suggesting you put some easy riddles like that on your page or just look some up to fight that compulsion. But, now I realize your "side project" is not what I imagined. (see other below) :)

No offense :) but your idea of "easy riddles" is one of my levels of personal hell. So, no, won't be adding any pages llike that to my site!

Umm, believe it or not it took a half an hour before I got that one. Also, the answer was revealed to me. So; "I really did NOT get it". I just raised my hands in disgust when I heard it, but it's a cute riddle for kids! :)

Hmmm... (?)

"Hmmm... (?)" what? :)

Got an email from sis saying; "You wrote that wrong on there". I didn't ask her 'what', so I was looking with strained eyes last night. Just got off the phone and it's down lower on a post. I'll correct it.

All is lost...

Oh, No... the "All is lost" moment... (didn't think anybody caught that) All is lost...

Ya gotta go with yer gut, I agree. Maybe a sort of small page that is "short-and-sweet" of sorts. OR better yet, add to your interests section to nip that urge in the bud! Hmm? Whadya think?

Oh, I think I asked awhile back what particular TV Shows and Movies you're fond of (past or present). Does that help? Show me yours, I'll show ya mine! Har-har... oh, you catch my meaning. Something like that might curve that urge as well. :)

Plus, I'll figure out your "60/40-Viola" name game. I guessed "April", but that's too easy. Hope that helps (above) and I'll get back to ya later. :)

Huh, that's odd. Wait... hmm. Read above yer post: https://neocities.org/site/kenny46140 Anyway, I said "curve" and think I meant "curb". Umm, "Jenny, Ginny, or Linda"? No, too easy. Gotta get some stuff done. Later, tater! :)

Back! Had another idea so yer not tempted; Easy Riddles! Maybe(?). Like; "You have two coins that equal 30 cents. One is NOT a nickel." Follow? Just an idea. Silly, maybe. ;)

Back (again). It "is" Jennifer. Wait... aw, where'd I put that note-to-self. Here it is. Ugh, wrong one. It says; "not jennifer and ask about.." Oh, yeah! Need any sort of graphic or certain image? I can probably make it. Eh, will make a few today just for grins if I get a chance. No prob.

It's not April or Linda although I do like those names. Ginny and Jenny are way off the mark. Remember I said "my full name" (re ratio). So my first name doesn't actually follow the 60/40 ratio. What people usually call me *does* have five letters, but it doesn't follow the ratio either. Sorry. I should have been more clear, but I wasn't expecting anyone to try to figure it out. :)

I'm afraid I don't understand your suggestions re curbing my temptation. Distraction won't help (I'm constantly distracted by everything) and all my energy is going into the side project anyway. Brain in permanent cramp mode, I guess :(

I got it; The 'name thing'. I just like thinking of word puzzles sometimes while I'm woking on stuff. And "now" I get what you mean by "side project". I thought it was perhaps a web-page design! Duh! <-me! Yup, brain farts "do" happen! My bad. I'll ask, what's the general idea of your side project as not to kill it?

I have loads of side projects. Some impulsive, some drawn/thought out and others well, just 'shelved'. They mostly involve little to no money. Example: awhile back I refurbished and repaired some old advert electric lit wall clocks and gave them to fam members. Got some old lawn/garden junk to make lawn art out of. Stuff to make lamps out of. Ya, know... stuff like that. Maybe for garage sale or trading. (shrug)

So, yup; You decide: "What's the general idea of your side project as not to kill it?" Now ya got me thinkin'... Ouch! Yup, it hurts! :)

Side project is an offshoot of the writing thing, and does involve a web page (design more-or-less finalised now). Because I've been working on it every day for more than a week it feels well-developed to me, when I look at it, but I need to keep reminding myself that someone who is *not* me probably won't see it that way. It needs more content before I release it "into the wild" so to speak. :)

Way cool! Sounds like you've got it under control. I used to write years ago, but life twists and turns. Long ago, my li'l sister had found a few of my hand-written short stories in my 'old room'. It was the early days of internet and she typed them out and sent them in to this "contest" thingy. She surprised me by showing me they'd won some kind of award. I was embarassed and glad our names were NOT on them! :)

Funny, I've actually not typed nor written "this" much in a very long time either. Not even emailed in awhile... huh. Gonna write my cousin. Hope to get more internet time. Have been kinda busy. Lookin' forward to your "project"! Cool-cool! :)

correction: My sis had sent in some short stories long ago and "she'd" gotten an award for "her" story. Not the ones of mine she sent it. Hell, neither of us even remember where it was! TOO long ago! Slept since then!

The compulsion has passed. Just thought I'd let you know :)

Hey Kenny I have a question; How old do you think I am?

(oh, boy... here he goes. geesh, alright. ahem) " Hey Owlman I have an answer; To me you're 25. " (now what's he gonna do. why am i such his easy target? eh, whatever.)

Yeah, 25. Give or take a few. Wait... 23? Oh, that's a few huh. (what's he up to, hmm?)

Not bad.

Well, I'm more close to 23. Let's just say I'm old enough to drink.

So, are ya saying you've realized the dangers of "drinking and typing" and perhaps have regrets? Or, maybe you were just asking a simple question about observation skills. Whatever. Assume nothing. Nobody knows everything, man. You don't have 6 mirrors in your part of the house, do ya? See, I know nothing.

I was just thinking about how old people think I am, and no, I don't drink all that often.

You know better, dude. Who gives a crap what "people" think of ya. Geesh. Did ya get that "mirrors" joke (above)? Sure ya did. Be cool, duder! :)

Thanks a lot for the banners, kenny, they look really cool. Unfortunately I don't think they would fit with my current theme so sorry about that, I'm sure you get it. But I appreciate it a lot! As for where I am, I'll just say I'm from Europe.

Oh, I know they don't fit yer theme, man. I was working on another project (with the background of it) and wanted to see a "text". Your name just popped to mind. Took a whopping 5 minutes and just saved as jpeg to show ya for grins. Dude, I can make about anything... way better, catch? Eur-uh-pee-in'? Better be in the toilet !!! Mwa-mwaaaaa! Ugh, that hurt. :)

Gimmie a write when ya can. Ask anything. I don't mind. That goes for all you folks who clicked "like" on this post, cool? No prob. Gotta run! :)

This is an issue that I've been pondering recently. With my first neocities site (which I'm not going to identify) I wasn't happy with the username and changed it, only to find that while I liked the new name better, it further boxed me into a "theme" for the site which didn't match what the site was supposed to be about. Having changed it once and made new graphics etc I didn't feel I could change it again. (cont'd)

(cont'd) It contributed to my inevitable losing-of-interest in keeping the site (there were other factors, but I can't mention those without giving too many clues to the other site's identity). In general I would advise people to plan ahead :) If you want to make another site with a new handle, go for it, but know what you intend to do ahead of time.

Glad you're alright! Have been keepin' tabs on the Aussie Weather prob. That's really effed-up! Same here, but vice-versa! "Odd" is too simple a word/term for it, huh? I actually know what's up... but, will go into that (perhaps) later, yeah? >>>

( No, no. Not some 'conspiracy theory' nor the goof-ball crapolla like that. It's... well, later...k? )

"Big Thanks" for the advise. I follow ya exactly and came to the very same conclusion 'you' wrote above. Good to know it's 'still' a "small world", huh? Alotta people dunno what that even means anymore it seems, but they do (I'm sure). I was kinda asking because my 'handle' seems lately so... um, "goofy"(?). Plus, I wanted to reformat my page more complex... but 'that' really isn't my way. Simplicity is just that. >>

At my age (30, 42, 50... whatever ya think), I believe the more complex we (used to) make things... the more needless obligations appear. Sure, I'm a simple guy who leads a simple life... But, "Been There, Done That" and complicating/overdoing things isn't right. JUST like I'm doing NOW! Yeah, I talk too much and obviously 'overdo' the yacking at times! Happens when I feel 'somebody follows me', which is rare lately!

Anyway, dear... Thanks again! I honestly hope you're "keepin' cool"! Damned weather, anyway! Chock-A-Block Of BS, catch? Eff-The-Dumb-Shist! ;)

*waves* Age is just a number... attitude on the other hand... is attitude ;)

You got it! ;)
