That sucks sissy, I don't open any links unless I know the person that sent them. Get a lot of redirection links in emails.

yeh it was the link from murky waters I posted the warning but can't find where it was and if that was the name I remembered it was and hope people pay attention to the warning .I was lucky I have all my security systems running on high alert or puter would have been doomed .I was ticked and was going to report it so it does not happen to anyone else

no just a summer house, there is no sewers near there so we can only have a chemical toilet ! so it would be awkward living there full time ! yes houses in slovakia are mostly built from blocks and cement/concrete, just the old traditional houses are made from wood, and as for getting a pretty wife sissy, i dont know ? well it isnt my money so it must have been my charm lol,

prince charming uhhh and your not calling her pretty .saying she is pretty means you made a great catch when you meant her, so win win .They don't use septic tanks there and now they have the kind that don't use leach fields and you have to have them pump out once or twice a year .I know here they use them in areas where the terrian is to rocky and they even use water storage tanks as they cannot drill wells there .Well I guess if most of the houses are made of cement you would not have to worry about a fire burning everything down .Here when they do cement houses now they use insulated forms made of styrofoam that they fill with cement .They say they are stronger and the insulated panels are doing double duty .I guess the future will say if that is true or not

direct tv is stupid I wanted channel 26 because of all the garden shows and the shows from North CArolina and that would have cost me an extra 7.99 a month well in the guest house I had a tv just hooked up to that digital transition box and brought the box in the house and hooked it up to my extra tv in the house and now I get it free .I could sit in the guest house and watch it there but would have to turn on the heat and stuff .Channel 26 had a big pond show on at 5 this morning and it was great .It was an hour long show and showed the all natural ponds how to build and how to maintain .Lined and unlined above ground and below ground and how to build diy filters and even how to maintain water quality the natural way .It was great

We use are digital antenna feed quite often for channels not shown on dtv.. We just have it go into one of the other feeds of the tv, swap inputs and ready to go.
We can pull around 35 air feed channels, they work when the sats are blocked by storms or heavy rain.

I would not have been up at that time but arthur woke me up growling and barking at something at about 4 am when I looked at the clock finally ,not sure what it was he was having a hissy fit at but the side door security light was on and since I was up I checked both tv's to see what was on and unc tv had that on but it was not on the listing though .I brought the box in from the guest house yesterday and just hooked it up to one of my old tvs and could not believe how great the reception was.That channel I can not get on direct tv.The show was really interesting and I was amazed at the info it gave on ponds ,who would have thought and free .It is a North Carolina station .

It depends on the direction of the storm which goes out, dtv or the antenna stations. West dtv, east antenna.

THE GUY RIDING THE BIKE IN THIS FILM IS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE! THIS WAS FILMED IN SCOTLAND , AND THE COUNTRYSIDE IN THE BACKGROUND IS WORTH THE WATCH!


What imagination, reflexes and skill! And, what a bike!!

This is insane, and the guy is no young kid either...... Plus the added bonus of some great shots of Scotland. His bike is an extension of his body
