the peril of booze!
thanks also to phil who has got me a memory card .don.i posted the Chinese Dylan today.......................
how are you with first impressions? are you one of those people who come to a quick instant conclusion about someone you meet for the first time?are you always right? i am rubbish about people at first sight................
i always envy people who appear consistent.some people i meet always look the same. others,like me i believe, vary wildly from day to day.....face and posture especially.not a deliberate thing........you often find this with folks on the cusp...from childhood to adult or from middle-to-old age........but, i know people who are so mercurial..........they morph all the time...........

Tony, I read the start of this post wrong - I thought you were blaming grow-a-brain for spilling your beer.
I want to try and help you as you helped me with my exploding computer...Did you try both shift keys? Did you shake the upside-down keyboard maniacally above your head? Did you unplug the keyboard and blow in the socket? Did you pummel the keyboard with fists?
That's as far as my PC expertise will lead you, hope this helps.
nice album covers and I like the way they shift. i could never figure out how to do that.
My dealings with people are mostly ...amazingly good.
for the past decade I have been able to tell when someone is evil right off the bat- and avoid them completely. Unfortunately in the past 2 of the worst evil types were bosses I had to put up with for a while.
I used to be crap at figuring people out until our much revered poet Maya Angelou said that people TELL you who they are when you first meet-- this turns out to be amazingly true. She also gave me permission to say no and not be so freaking polite/nice to strangers but to observe and think.
You know I guess by now, and have already gone out and bought a new one,however. A few tips I looked up which seem crazy, but I put my phone through the washing-machine, and no problem---- the dishwasher routine. Just put it keyboard in top rack with no detergent. Don't let it go through heated dry cycle. Let it air dry for at least 3 good days before trying to use it again- if it's cordless remove the batteries of course.... pry up the individual keys & clean with cheap solution (alcohol believe it) from your local unfriendly DIY storeman....

You can't know a person fully. Everyday/month/year is new with different situations, and a (normally maturing) change of mind/heart or direction, that may not coincide with yours.
Friendships for me over the years never settled down, exactly like me.
I've known people to settle in the same city/town after college - in same job. They tend to keep (more or less) the same friend base that fizzles out to sparse calander dates, big plans that come to naught or fall way below the expected mark- it all becomes a sad formality.
Even if you could read someone the first time you're only into the first chapter, and can't know how the story will pan-out.
So what does that tell us, well fucked if I know. What am I on about- beats me.
O yes, keep your distance from people- treacherous bastards.
I've got two cats, their the best of company.
There's an old saying :you can't judge a book by its cover" and is mostly true.
Yet, once someone starts speaking, I too am able to somehow sense the inner and instinctively know when someone isn't true to their words...
This worked out well especially when we had our coffeehouse.
As for the art on old record covers, I miss them! ; (
the covers are fantastic! like the story they tell about the music.
as to people, i'm generally far too trusting, but even in that, i've not ben burned too often.
Savvy Better to be naive about The Stranger rather than Cynical?
Coffee I love to Observe The Strangers in the street.
To "read" the ways they hold themselves:walk:Posture.How they move within the World they travel.Everyone One of us has a Unique Physical Signature.
Sean Yes! Relationships Evolve over time.We can Never plan them in advance.Its quite scarry (& scary!)when Someone changes,cos it demands a response & change from us too. i will be your Friend as long as you promise not to Change is often an unwritten Rule in a relationship." how dare you change" We Cry!!!!!!!Letting someone be different is a Great Sign of Friendship (especially if its at our expense)
Joanne i Just Bought a new keyboard from Comet for £5 !!!!!! I CAN WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi I'm drunk. Is this the internet? It is! Jolly good show. Ta-ta for now.
oh dear! dh you are very , very Drunk! Really!.........
What can i say? Other than Yes !!!!!
I just noticed the photo or was it there before?
Looks like YOU fell into the keyboard ... Or .... looks like a shiner to me?
;-) ;-) ;-)
Nice post Tony - you need to turn the keyboard upside down and place it keys down on a warm (not hot) radiator for a day although the sugar content in the beer might have dissolved some functions by now. I sprayed some soy sauce over the bottom of my keyboard last year and none of my apple functions work now - got used to it - was too busy to do anything about it at the time. I have a knack of working people out fairly quickly on meeting them for the first time but you are right - people change every day. A good thing I think.
might i suggest:

Even better, if you develop and patent one that doubles up as a straw.... you know where I am coming from!!
FoX
ah Sean The sweet mystery of photoshop!!!!!!!
Mr Fox ! Practical! I will purchase! Thank You.You can become my Personal Shopper?
Rock Mum Oh, I just chucked it in T'bin!This new £5 one is actually better!smaller& takes upless room!
Anyhow..the broken one was looking depressed for some time...............
Dennis is wary of everyone, and lovey-dovey friendly with all he sees a second time!
You are in capitals again! Tis good!
First impressions - I'm usually pretty good at them, but sometimes I'm completely wrong, so I don't trust myself. I let time tell the tale.
I'm with Sean - most people are not worth spending time with. But the ones who are - gold!
naive in the broadest possible sense, i guess. either that or i'm so far past cynical nothing registers. been there, done that...let's just hope for the best and never be surprised by the worst possible behavior is probably closer to the truth.
What a cool pic at the top of this post! Love it. I am no good at coming to conclusions about people, can't read subtle behaviours, can't read body language...not safe out on my own really!
I Suspect that ,you, Dennis is a better Judge than any of us!
Cherie I am a Capital Fellow again! Friendship is such a subject affair (by Definition i suppose..........)
Savvy my old WoodWork Teacher @ Skool used to say "Always Expect The Worst,& All Your Surprises Will Be Pleasant Ones" A Chip-Off-The-Old-Block!
DJ Yea i do look mean&Moody in a friendly sorta way! I have replaced my photo in this post for one of the very-very Sick Maggie Thatcher! A Nation Waits..........
I like watching rollerbladers. Their behavior is quite fascinating to me.....
But only on the days when I bring enough marbles for the down hill turns.
Tony, you know when you first meet someone (If of course your not getting some bad vibe),you really have to give it time to breathe. I find it so funny that people truely expect to sum someone up in a first glance. Thats impossible!! What if they're having a really horrible day and they can't handle stress or adversity very well, or what if their house just exploded, or if they just bought a new car and a train hit it.......It's gonna color how you see them. and women have many sides. Does that mean we're murcurial?
We all have many sides (male&female?) But we try & hide,em?
