I have a few boring tangential topics I would like to address.

1) Who maintains this Forum? Last night at about 3 am West Coast time, some Guest added a garbage message to every single thread in this Forum. It was all Chinese and if you clicked anywhere in the message, it hyperlinked you to some weird Asian brightly flashing website. However, now, about 7 hours later, all of those Guest messages are gone! Who does this? How long will it take for them to remove the Make Money on PayPal thread someone just added?

2) Does anyone know an easier way to get a cat to eat pills? Our cat does not like it, if you crush the pills in tuna or wet cat food, he detects it and will not eat it. We try to hold him and put the pill in his throat and then hold his mouth closed and stroke his thoat to make him swallow (which is the vet recommended way), but he doesn't swallow the pill. Also, he is very feisty and has very very sharp claws. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

3) The toilet challenge has been entertaining, but I have been getting a lot of comments from people who are displeased. I am doing my fifth toilet photo today and then it's OVER. I hope everyone else will join me in terminating their toilet photos today. I just can't take the pressure! (One thing for sure, a toilet is certainly global common ground!)

4) And as long as people are criticizing me for the toilet thing, let me return the favor and say SP Friday bores me.

5) Finally I'd like to recommend the following movies:

The Aviator (Leo Dicaprio, though hard to take seriously because of his boyish looks, is really a darn good and very passionate actor, and Cate Blanchett, as always, is pure genius)
Wimbledon (everyone I know who has seen this, including myself, says it's better than they expected -- great light acting from Bettany and Dunst),
The Motorcycle Diaries (Spanish with subtitles)
The Fog of War (fascinating documentary)
Time Out (an intriguing French film from 2001)
Owning Mahoney (for Philip Seymour Hoffman fans)
Talk to Her (ususual but gripping film from Pedro Almodovar).

I also just finished watching the entire Antoine Doinel series from Francois Truffaut -- a unique film story spanning five films and twenty years, and starring the same actor from boyhood to manhood -- if you're interested start with The 400 Blows.

6) And that reminds me I decided my favorite actresses are (1) Cate Blanchett, (2) Kate Winslett, (3) Nicole Kidman, (4) Renee Zellwegger, and (5) Paz Vega. If I liked Kate Beckinsale and Katie Holmes more, I could have an All-Kate list of favorite actresses.

Thanks for reading. Hope no one was offended.

Well, I'm neither a keeper of cats, or more to the point, a keeper of Kates, but I can help you on the maintenance of this forum.

'tis me!

I am able to delete posts from the PAD forum only and my main job seems to involve deleting spam which usually appears in waves.

If you would like a posting removed, please let me know!

I would like the "Making Money with PayPal thread removed."

Thanks.

hmmm.. i don't know about cats. I usually trick my dog into eating pills by putting it in cheese. but i don't know how that would work with a cat. Cat's tend to be more finicky then dogs are about what they'll eat.

As for the toilet shots, I'm not sure why people would be sending you complaints. That's silly if you ask me.. but ahh well. *shrugs* Perhaps a new challenge is in order? one that is mundane, but not.. potentially offensive.. though.. just about anything could be offensive to certain folks.

Its been deleted Jeremy - also reported to slug.

Whilst I didn't take part in this weeks challenge, I hope that the others who aren't suffering the pressure can do the whole 7 days as its thrown up some creative work.

I've finished my toilet challenge today. It was making me feel so uneasy that I sent myself some complaints. Now I want to wash my camera.

Get a dog. They eat anything. Including chicken poo!

Have you seen Shooting Fish? Kate Beckinsale should be in your top 5 just for that. No? Alright, I'll keep her then...

[jude_53]

Um.. cats bore me.. (I have two ... )

I love all of those actresses except for the last one who I have never heard of..

I wrote all the movies down on a paper which i will more than likely lose.. thank god I can find this thread..

unless I lose it..

I did like Katie Holmes but seeing as she's going to marry Tom Cruise I've re-thought the "liking" thing..

I think the toilet thing was/is funny.. but David is funnier with his self-abusive comments on his potty pics.

I'm done with the theme. It was fun but I haven't the brains for it as work is sucking me dry..

well, at least they pay me

I've done SP friday (plus usually one other during the week) for over a year. I've opted not to do it on friday anymore.. but will (of course) continue to do an SP usually a week.. Why? #1. I look better in them than in real life and it makes me feel good about myself (cheaper then plastic surgery, too) #2 Sometimes it's so damn convenient.

I'm out of numbers... sigh

[camera0bug]

Wimps!

I'm going for the full commode week even if I do it by myself!
There are so many toilet ideas that haven't been exploited yet...

What are you going to post instead? ...a cheezy flower? ...another bug shot? ..."my pet shot" ...a bird? ...an SP?

Let's push a few envelopes!




Feeling offended yet?

PS: WIMPS!!!

I was thinking of crawling underneath my house and taking pictures of dirt and structural supports.

That little message left by "guest" had the QHost trojan in it. Spybot picked up when I opened the thread. I'm guessing any spyware program can fix the damage that may have been done.

I am enjoying this challenge and even though I started a day late, I intend to finish up my seven days of toilets. I'm right there with Camera0bug! And good on you for offending some; takes the heat off me for a while!!

Jude... this is me, loving your SP's, and shooting right along with you!

hm..re the complaints...?? well, ya can't please everyone and why wud u want to...

thanks munchly for the movies...will check em out. and re your cat...good luck; cats are sooooooo smart...my Kat loves honeysuckle (catnip doesn't cut it)...maybe try rubbing the pil on some of that before you crush it

[shannon_halsaver]

Thanks for the recommendations, Imust say though I have seen them all... and I do agree!
Here are a couple of my own recommendations
Hotel Rwanda (Don Chedle brilliant actor)
A Love Song for Bobby Long (John Travolta with white hair! Scarlett Johanson absolutely brillinat! amtter of fact watch anything with her in it! including Girl with a Pearl Earing)
Beyond the Sea(Kevin Spacey starred and directed this amazing story on Babby Darin's life)

As far as your fav actresses I agree with them as well, and I really do like Kate Beckensale and Katie Holmes(even if she's being pulled in by Tom Cruise) I also really enjoy watching movies with Kirsten Dunst (loved Wimbledon)

I have two cats, however I do not have difficulty giving them their pills, I supposed i am blessed in that aspect!

[jeremygood]

Hotel Rwanda was a great movie. I just saw that a few weeks ago and should have put it on the list. It's a little disturbing to know that half a million people can be killed somewhere and I don't remember hearing much at all about it.

The other two look good.

Thanks for the recommendations.
