I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 9 and it has changed many of my
settings on my Windows Mail. The main thing it changed was the font. I have
always preferred Arial size 14. Now I am getting Times Roman size 12. I will
have to figure out how to get back my former settings.

He's a doctor, or at least he got encyclopedic knowledge from being a

Now, "Dr. Ed," do bigger beach cruiser seats do you harm? I experience
some discomfort after an hour or so, depending on the seat.

If you are riding a bike it seems like you are practicing more than

It freed them from the Jews as well, whether you consider them a good
or bad influence.
Actually Spain may have been a moderating influence on Islam, but

(I have gather my biographers to register this important Wisdom of the

life of Christians? They don't even ride a bike for the most part or
do Tantra --the latter may be evil. They don't even take a nap in that
Rat Race that they live. And they wait until they die to live)

You are missing the GREAT PLEASURES OF LIFE. Here's my recipe:
1- Ride a bike,
2- Leisure time outside the cage,
3- Enjoy Tantra (non-reproductive sexual union prolonged until
ecstasy). *
Even that Church time on Sundays could be wisely used for any of the
above pursuits. It's in the Constitution: THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
Look at the free birds and see how they love to sing to life. We could
be like them, you know. Set up a hammock somewhere and enjoy the
Wisdom of the Jungle.
* Mix in equal parts, but if you are missing one of the ingredients,
double the other. Bicycling is particularly important, though, to keep
your physical and mental balance. According to all evidence, sedentary
life and Christianity are closely related.

Here's a couple -- google for more:
http://www.makgrills.com/
http://pelletgrilloutlet.com/memphis-wood-pellet-grills
I have no experience with these companies.
Oh, another big plus for wood pellet grills that I really like: you
can put your food on, close the lid and leave it. Flip the
steak/chop/chicken mid-way through. No flare ups, no burning, no
baby-sitting the grill.

From: Ohioguy
I went to Lowe's and Home Depot to look at the sheds. About 80% of
them are built using particle board. Some of them even had particle
board as the floor!!! I also noticed that the joists were held together
without nails or screws for the most part - they used a metal joiner
plate that was pounded on, to hopefully hold them together. When I
pushed my weight against the wood, there was typically a lot more
movement than I was comfortable with. It's probably because they used
1.5" x 3" studs, rather than actual 2x4's.
I started looking at the metal buildings as well, but the side metal
was so thin that when I pushed on it a bit, it left a big dent. I could
just see what that metal shed would look like after 5 years of use -
dented all over. I would have gladly purchased it for 75% more, if they
just made the siding metal twice as thick.
Basically, here is what I want:
1) simplicity
2) heavy duty
3) inexpensive (~$1,400 or less)
4) shed style roof (slightly slanted, single plane)
Anyone know of some simple plans that would give me this? Thanks!

we built a shed out of pallets. you can find them 8 feet long. Then we
covered it in left over shingles people give away on Craigslist.
Cost $25 for nails , hinges etc.
good luck and Recycle!

You get all that with a shipping container.

No point in requiring that, but you can add one to a shipping container if you insist on that.
> Anyone know of some simple plans that would give me this? Thanks!
You dont need plans, just get a shipping container.
You dont need plans if you want to make it yourself either.

Sorry, we can't beat London! London has been around for a long while
and it's bound to be more civilized than us. As I try this DECO BIKE
program and try to find the meaning of it, I find it that my
predictions came true, ie. the bikes are concentrated in the tourist
area for show...
"I had strong suspicions that the caca (poop) on the Turtle Fancy
Mixed Path along the beach came from fancy dogs and not from stray
cats that populate the environment. In effect yesterday I witnessed
twice how leashed dogs were doing caca and their owners never bothered
to pick it up. The first one was on the grass at 74 ST and the second
RIGHT ON THE PAVEMENT near 65 ST and I shouted as I went by, "Nasty,
nasty!"
So this path is not only unsafe but unfit for humans for sanitary
reasons."
