On a completely unrelated note, I suddenly feel really hungry.

*hands Julez a twinkie*

*tips cowboy hat*

No need for thanks ma'am. It's what I do. It's...what I do.

*rides off into sunset*

wouldn't trail mix have been a bit more appropriate?

The problem lies with the way our eyes work. We evolved as hunters, and so our eyes--especially our peripheral vision, which is right where the avatars and sigs are--trigger on movement. You cannot fully concentrate on reading text as long as there's something going on in your peripheral because the "hunter" part of your brain is urging you to pay attention to it. You can train yourself to get used to it, but it adds to eye fatigue and (at least for me) irritability.

hehe last time I checked, there were no people hunting in my neighbourhood

I must admit, I hadn't even considered that animated avatars could also be a nuisance...

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Careful there Your avatar is eating something

[Jeraly 4]

I also think my signature is too long But Jeraly said it wasn´t so I trust her

Your siggie is fine Marta

Yeah...sorry but yeah...I think most animated avatars are rude too. In fact I'll take a long signature over an animated avatar any day. I don't mind the avatars with a bit of animation. Jeraly's is a good example, just some sparklies that aren't in your face. It's the ones that grab your eyes by the retina and force you to look that annoy me. Fortunately those are few and far between. In fact, I can't even think of an avatar I've seen around lately that I object to.

I'm glad I have your approval!!

Your avvie is fine Rachel In fact I really like it

:lol:

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Thank you! However, if it does annoy anyone - it's hosted on a separate site so it should be easy enough to block without disrupting the viewing of other people's avatars.

And yes, if she keeps eating at the rate she has been, I'll need to put her on a diet.

As Jeraly mentioned, your avatar is fine. The ones I'm talking about (and haven't seen much of lately anyway) are the ones that pulsate and throb and are just generally annoying. Plus I dig the pink shades.

HAHAHAHAHAHA MOX IS A GIRL!!!!

*coughs*

Sorry

Maybe you could get her to tell me her secret!? I didn't lose any weight this week and I am really annoyed... think it might be due to impending girly issues

[StillThePrettiest 4]

whereas poor old leekspin girl has to keep using her energy and never gets to eat at all, but she never gets tired

[Jeraly 4]

Yay! I found something to update my siggie with! I didn't have a slot for my packet 4 date!!

[StillThePrettiest 4]

how come your POE is LAX? is it really easier to go that way round? why not the Dublin thingamy like you did last time?

[Jeraly 4]

Well if I go via Dublin I can only take one 15kg case which sucks. Plus I have my cat so I want to go direct if I can

[StillThePrettiest 4]

well that sure makes sense

but I still don't get how flying from the UK to LAX is in any way shorter than, say, JFK (and then you get the stamp too!) and then a domestic transfer...? my POE is LAX as well, but that's because I'm coming from Sydney... if I was flying from London I would have gone through Minneapolis or Detroit

just wondering how it works

[Jeraly 4]

I think just for my own sanity I would prefer to go through POE at LAX then drive home rather than have random layovers in the US. I know when I went through Dublin last time I had a total of something like three layovers or something crazy The flight time is pretty similar but the time through airports just makes the wait longer for my poor cat

Not just that but I think with all the changes, flying into a familiar airport will be quite nice Even if I do have to brave POE/interrogation

And haha - you got told off in the UK forum

[*julez* 124]

please stay on topic. no one wants to read your witty retorts.

[StillThePrettiest 4]

And haha - you got told off in the UK forum

I know

I had all sorts of responses lined up:

- We'll do a deal: I'll stop trying to show how clever I am, if you get a sense of humour

- If I was trying to show how clever I am, I'd manage a bit better than THIS

- Why? what have you actually told us in this thread that's worth preserving?

- No; I hate to break it to you, but this thread will soon drop off the front index page along with all the other useless ones

- Oops, sorry; I thought you'd made your point and now we could all play

but in the end I thought it would just be seen as stirring so I thought I'd leave him and his precious thread alone

wouldn't want to mess with his ZOMGLIFE

well that sure makes sense
