Opticalillusion- media mynx life would be boring without hiccups

I've been watching the stretcher recently in smiley - thepost and noticed how nice it is to have a group that is so varied in experience and see them blossom. I have also set to thinking about the challenges that have a risen so far and realised that there's a couple of old Entries that I could have brushed up in line with them. smiley - goodluck to all I say smiley - smiley

It takes quite a bit to make me smiley - laugh and last night I did just that. You see I was watching an ice skating performance whereby the performance went a little wrong. In the car driving back home I suddenly thought why not start a thread where people can say what has amused them and pass on the smiles and happiness in this bleak time so how about it? Come on people what makes you smile?

What always makes me smile are babies and or toddlers, if you smile they smile and it is so infectious. Another thing that makes me smile is when I hear birds sing, or being with cats or dogs.

Its like dancing-we can all move, to some extent i hope, and sometimes its just nice to move through the air , like its a warm shallow ocean: wave your hands in the air like you just dont care, like an Indian dancer, or: a mime artist.smiley - cool

I highlight 'Noth€r' and then paste

I'm enjoying reading people's posts please keep making people smile ...as one once said ...smiling is contagious you catch it like the flu when someone smiled at me today I started smiling too

Oh and heres another amusing snippet. I was on the phone to my boyfriend when he entered the cellar and said what's happened to all the spirits they are all over the place. Turns out he was talking about smiley - stiffdrink rather than the smiley - ghost I was thinking about.

hi elentari

you may already know, that by holding the shift down, and pressing the number two, you get the att sign.
-
to see if there is also an hidden euro, try the rest of the 1 to 0 with the shift down.
-
im using an infared remote k/board, so it doent work for me on the box the same way,( €€€€ ), to get mine i have to use the fn and the number 4 smiley - dragon jim

hi elentari
-
it might be that the windows you us are before the euro sign was brought in.so the keyboard setting at either english or usa, wont acsept the euro sign.
-
could be wrong, but sounds logical.my k board isnt pc, its for a cablebox, that was updated a few months back, and the euro works now. smiley - dragon jim
