So I have a website that I made after some interest from some people I've been chatting with.
http://www.laurgasms.com
When it is fully functional it will be full of articles and advice and ramblings about sex and relationships and boners. Mostly boners. Currently I am collecting e-mails looking for advice and I will pick some to use for topics in the future. So send in your questions to helpmewithmygirlproblems@laurgasms.com.
Privacy policy is available here http://laurgasms.com/?page_id=3
Also if you are interesting enough and have a topic you would like to contribute or if you want to be used as a guest adviser (I have females looking for advice and I want to use awesome dude responses), send me a message. Current proposed topics include internet relationships, swallow vs. spit, and a weekly "WHY DOES HE/SHE DO THAT?!" post. I have not quite decided how this whole thing will work and I'm kinda running in beta mode. Ideas or input appreciated. Unless you tell me I'm a fag. In which case, no u.

It's a whole new game. Here are a couple of quick screenshots for comparison. Do yourself a favor and check this out.

You gotta understand that for a game this beautiful being able to see so much more of the artwork at once is a major, major improvement. And I'm only in the boring first part of the game. When I get to the actual city it's going to be incredible.

Played for hours last night with my gf on guitar and me on drums and it just seems to be getting better and better
Also I read a lot of complaints about the guitar with rock band.... I think I actually prefer it to the guitar hero ones - something just feels "right" about it

I love sprouts. When they start sprouting, I just eat 'em plain as a snack. I feel like a horse when I'm chomping merrily away on alfafa sprouts. Mung beans are awesome when they're nice and juicy. I discovered recently that raw, fresh black eyed peas taste a lot like mung beans, which is pretty neat.
Anyway, here's a high-res close-up pic I took of a sprout mix I got from a local health food store:

i like to take a slice of white bread and bite the crust off
then squish what's left of the slice into a compressed bread cube. then eat the cube of bread.
i do this by folding the slice in half and then half again over itself and then squish it between my thumb and first finger on each hand at the same time (think scissoring with thumb and finger rather than first and middle finger.)
its awesome .

"but ever since went thru 8.0 AVg upgrade, I can't open links in emails or websites; it goes directly to SKYPE; have tried to remove the add-on, to no avail. Another option I see is to remove Google Toolbar, but I don't know if that's a mistake; you can image how exasperated I am. Should you have any ideas, PLEASE let me know!!!"
I have no idea where to begin even asking. If it wasn't my mom I'd just completely ignore it. I walked her through the AVG upgrade to 8.0 which took like a couple frickin' hours, and I have absolutely no clue wtf she's talking about now. Where to even begin? Halp? cough

http://keepass.info/index.html
It was suggested to me that it was pretty good but I am trying to get it to work with firefox. I have the secure login extension working with firefox and it works pretty good at remembering the passwords. The problem is that someone can just walk up to my work machine and look at all my passwords with 4 clicks. I would like to remove all the passwords from secure login and migrate them over to keepass.
I removed a couple of accounts/'passwords from secure login (firefox extension) and placed the account/password in keepass along with the websites address. I went to the site manually logged out and cleared the cookie but when I went to go back to it my password wasn't in there.
Does keepass not automatically log you in even if it is running in the tray? Do I just use keepass as a manual lookup and enter the password in manually?
