Fire and Mugging in two days!

Oct 19, 2006 10:36

This past weekend was an interesting one. The serenity of a lazy night of video watching in the apartment Sunday night was broken by a fire alarm downstairs. Nothing to surprising really. I mean, you only need a little smoke to get that thing going - "probably just someone baking," I thought. But wait... what's this? My ear distinguishes that ( Read more... )

Dammit! squealnakedcatj October 19 2006, 14:42:12 UTC

If anyone can tell me why LJ automatically placed hard returns before and after each "ticklemerisi," please let me know. It did so as soon as I highlighted the text and clicked the button to convert to a username, but I backspaced them out - or so I thought :(

What the deal?

That's weird. I just typed a new entry and did the same thing for david_itman and it added a hard return too. The only way I got them to go away was by editing the post, and then underneath the text box, clicking on the link to switch away from rich text mood. Then, under the options at the bottom of the screen, I made sure that Auto-Format HTML was turned off, and that fixed it for me.

Thanks for commiserating! I haven't had the problem in the past in rich text mode. I have another solution too that should work that I will try.

No idea... do you use the built in poster in LJ or do you use something like Semagic (stand alone program)? I use Semagic and have never had that problem.

I'm glad you guys had a fun time celebrating your anniversary. I think it's fun how close our anniversaries are!

Octoberfest? squealnakedcatj October 20 2006, 01:07:20 UTC

It is fun! Yours is in October right? Yeah, I know I should know, but I don't remember. You don't have to tell me. It will just give me an extra incentive to catch up on your journal, as I've been meaning to do ;)

Re: Octoberfest? librarygal October 20 2006, 01:39:12 UTC

Ours was the 15th :)

I forgot to call and wish you a happy aniversary... AND I forgot to call and wish Marisa a happy birthday! :( I'm sorry... happy belated both!

Sounds like an exciting week!

I can hardly believe it's been two years already! Congrats ^_^

Yes you did. *wags finger sternly at Skimilk* Both events were nice. Apology accepted :D But you ought to send Marisa an email or something if you haven't already. I know she'd love to hear from you.

We're looking forward to Florida!

That would be more excitement than I typically get in 2 months and you got it in 2 days. Very entertaining!

I wasn't proud of myself, but I wasn't convinced I should be disappointed either.
My friend Bob was once held at gunpoint downtown, he strongly considered using his marital arts skills to try taking out the rather nervous and distracted perpetrator. In the end, though, he decided it was best just to let the guy have his wallet and have the police handle it. I know it rankles to let punks get away with stuff, but you were right to observe that you don't know what kind of weapons or even demeanor the guy would have (Most Cowardly or Most Homicidal?). And let's face it, you don't have any martial arts training to fall back on! Mad grenade launcher skillz, yes, but not that. :P

He almost slept through the entire incident and wouldn't have even known.
*LOL* Sounds like me. Glad you were able to help! You're correct, better to call the fire dept and put it out yourself than think you can handle it and let it get totally out of control!

Our anniversary weekend was super-tasticCool, man. Glad you two had fun and were able to share ( ... )
