Reply to I am quitting smoking in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Good luck kona, I waited too long to quit and 2 months ago was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer from smoking. I just completed my third Chemo treatment last Thursday. Quitting may seem hard at the time... but it sure beats the alternative. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle

Reply to What do you think about Nuclear Weapons? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I'm not sure about how other states conduct business but Florida's Pawn shops are required to copy a current drivers licence, obtain a finger print from the person and a manatory federal weapon background check is conducted at the persons expence before one can pawn or sell a gun. The only way to tell if a gun was used in a crime is to have a national data base of ALL GUNS balistics that were manufactured within the past 100 years. Some manufactures are now including balistics with new gun purch

Having spent 20 years in corporate sales management(traveling North America for a fortune 100 corporation) I realized there was more to life, and have developed a 16 year part time fishing charter business to full time. I've temporarily cut back on saltwater fishing tournments this fall to try and set a new world record for Grouper on a Fly Rod. Click on my name to see where fishing dreams come true. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle

IPlural, I've been here 30 years now and I know what you mean...I've seen alot of changes,its a shame it hasn't been for the better. Florida is still getting close to 1000 people a day moving here...I wish someone would build a fence at the Georgia border. You can't tell the difference from Pinellas,Pasco and parts of Hernando any more. It is nice in Spring Hill when you see the Bear crossing signs and there is 150 miles of pristine shoreline. After 18+ years I left a corporate sales managem

IPlural, That hill your thinking about is Spook Hill and its in Lake Wales off RT 60. It is cool. The rails to trails program is in the process of connecting the Pinellas trail with the paved trails here & the Florida Greenways (to Orlando)and eventually they will connect with the Appalachian Trail so you will be able to go from Main to the Everglades nonstop. East of Brooksville is Croom it has a dedicated area for dirt bikes but also paved and single track trails (Florida Trail) along

IPlural... I guess I live just north of you.(Spring Hill) We have over 1100 miles of trails and I've been riding them since 1985. My favorite is in Inverness, beautiful forest (shade) with some very challenging hills (the second highest elevation in Florida) refreshing lakes to swim in and some really great caves to explore. Mountain bike clubs from around the state come here every week, but there are enough trails to go around. I do agree with you and don't go riding during hunting season. My M

I guess I don't understand... Maybe someone can tell me the secret to updating Object Desktop, Microsoft Security Updates etc. and not having to reboot. I'd love to leave my computer on all the time. Please explain how to DL security updates without a rebot. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" bord

Leo.. I agree with Kewl Pad and I would add Beatnik and possibly CoolPlayer but...Color Pad still has a good following as documented by the number of people coming on this board asking for a download link. Great little program. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powe
