I surrender

[low_delta]

I've been shoveling all afternoon. I'm hurtin'. I'm tired. I'm not done yet.

Funny thing is, after you surrender, you're still stuckwith the snow. Instead of fighting it, you're stuck in a POW camp, because you can no longer leave the house.

And I still haven't been skiing.

I had to lay down the law and get loud and ugly in order to get my daughter out there shoveling today. I only shoveled a path on the main sidewalks and I was completely exhausted. I still have to shovel out the corner where the street plow piled it all up, and then dig out the garbage cans.

I now have water dripping in the kitchen AND the bathroom walls. I'm starting to feel a little desperate.

I got the Christmas tree taken down and hauled out to the alley. Now I have to hand pick all the needles out of the carpeting, and then pack away all the other decorations. Am I a whiner or what?! :)

whiner?

No, of course not. (((((Cyn))))) Okay, maybe you're whiny about the decorations. ;-)

That really sucks about the leaking. I wish I knew a good fix for that. My eaves are completely covered with icicles, so I've been waiting for that myself.

What about that Keith guy? I thought he was all excited to shovel.

You need a massage!...

...which is just what some of us were discussing with Nahima.

Which reminds me, could someone tell me how to turn my LJ friends' names into links when I mention them here? What's the html code?

You want, for example to link to freekee? What you do is put this in:

<a href='http://www.livejournal.com/users/low_delta'>freekee</a>

J, the tech god.

I always wondered how you got the pairs of brackets to show up.

ampersand,ell,tee,semicolon, huh?

Where can I find a list of html? Characters and commmands. I did a bit of a search, once, and didn't come up with anything.

Thank you! (((((J)))))

Tech what!

It's my job to know this stuff. Those sequences beginning with ampersand are called "character entities", and you can find a table at

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] http://www.htmlhelp.com/'>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

It's my job to know this stuff. Those sequences beginning with ampersand are called "character entities", and you can find a table at <a href='http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/latin1.html>http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/latin1.html</a>. The rest of the <a href='http://www.htmlhelp.com/'>site</a> is pretty good too.

ROFL

There - what sort of god would post that nonsense?
What I tried to say was that you can see the entities at http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/latin1.html, and the rest of that site is good too.

thanks

That page was great. Now where can I find more code codes? Like all those listed at the bottom of the LJ posting pages. I only recognize a third of them, at most.

I didn't get very far in the rest of that site.
