Please let this mean what I think it means!

"As he listened to the din from the hillside, to a deep pulsating thunder that came from afar to the left, and to the lesser clamors which came from many directions, it occurred to him that they were fighting, too, over there, and over there, and over there. Heretofore he had supposed that all the battle was directly under his nose." - Stephen Crane

looks at the good doctor cautiously Is this what I think it is?

:)

You made my day, Dr. Geep! (:

Out, out, Damn spot! I don't see you as a Lady Macbeth though. :)

Woof!

[IF] If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kipling(as retold by Darth bikermouse)

Thanks for reconsidering, Doc. Your recent posts and this one have made my day.

Woohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! I had a feeling this would be a "Never-Ending Story." :D (((Squooooshes))))* Dr. Geep

Cool Doc. So glad you changed your mind!!

O.O ohh ohh ohh please let that mean what I hope it means ~jumps up and down and hugs Geep!~

Now, I'll take a look at your fine tutorials....... You've gotten my attention.

Keep on keeping on, Doc. You promised us a mini tute on lights. I was looking forward to it, so I hope you are working on it this very instant. taps foot impatiently. :)

Lights, yes, Im ready and wait. :}

Wait, does this really mean what I think it does? Are you staying? :D

Thank you, and welcome back. Tony

Yay! How could you resist all that love? ;-) Look, I know I'm one of those who tends to bite back, and butt heads when I think some one or somthing has gone too far. And I know that can sometimes add to the tension around here. I don't think I've ever actually "started" a problem, and I never resort to personal attacks. But I to throw myself into harms way if I think something is truely unfair. I do it because I really belive, sometimes someone has to stand their ground for what's right. Even if I loose the fight, sometime it just matters that some one was willing to. But that fighting isn't worth squat if it's going drive off people like you. So I apologize for any part I've had in making things worse around here, or if my good intentions occasionally pave the road to hell. I would like to say I'll stop it all together, or even just try to, but that would be letting "Nothing" win to me. So what I will do is try to be a little more reasonable, and pick my words a little more carefully (But I'm not working on my spelling! Your just going to have to deal with that.) I just hope you all know that I do it with the best of intentions.

"O Frabjuous Day, Calloo, Kallay!" (sp?) ....hopeful....

Oh if those images are really what I think they are...I hope for more positive and good around here. And to have you with us Bob would really be a good start in this direction. If you slowly are changing your mind then here again: SSSSSTTTTTAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy :) just feel the love around!

Great to see that you changed your mind....you are one of the nice people :) Rebekah

Yay! He's BACK!!!!!!!! Um, does this mean I have to de-lurk in your classes now?

de-lurk? No, the classes are FREE, as always and ... ... you get what you pay for. Signing in ... is optional, as always.

As I said doc, still waiting for the next tut! Like the song "J'attendrai, j'attendrai toujours ton retour". It means: "We will always wait for your return" Someone who really appreciate what you are doing for us. Merci d'avance

Well, I believe the whole community just breathed a collective sigh of relief and joy. And tho you were not gone for very long, you were indeed missed greatly. Welcome home to rejoin your friends and students!! Dallas
