I'll take one of them fancy skins. Send it on over to jonrod@gmail.com

As for sick fetishes, I'm a man, and I find myself enjoying learning how to cook. Just today I taught myself how to make one damn fine chicken alfredo. Please, somebody slap some sense into me and convince me that it's woman's work! I even cleaned the pots and pans when I was finished! If I ever pick up a broom or a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor, I think I'm going to make out with a pistol.

"Good Luck" to the woman who decides to be with you. Welcome to a new age of living/thinking Gunter. I live with two women, and you better believe I do my own cooking and an even portion of the chores. It's called, "progress" bro.

I do all sorts of cooking. It's the best way to try out all those foods you see and hear about but never get to try.

And I'm not discussing my fetishes. They're both private and horned.

Yeah, I know, I'm just messing around. I was being somewhat sarcastic about the whole "fetish" topic the Lounge has found itself on. I then decided to go sexist with it. Someone mentioned that there needed to be more sexism, I don't remember who or how far back... I hear you, though. College has been a way for me to really get some chore time in on my own. My mom has never been more proud.

Hotmail probably blocked mail from father venom because he uses gmail. Do you want a gmail address?

And I think the mail I sent was probably blocked by NG's mail server, since all the recipients are BCC.

Anyway, mail was sent to you and Gunter, just now.

I don't think I can change the blank page color. I looked everywhere for it, no success.

The width of the google bar can be easily changed with this.

Looks great, Shrike. All I can find are a few cosmetic suggestions.

I noticed this extra divider bar on the Bookmarks menu, as pictured below, at the bottom.

Also, would it be possible to change the black to the right of the menu bar to a matching gray?

I noticed that as well. Something more in line with the colour scheme rather than pitch black would be good for the areas circled in red.

We had four straight days of temperatures almost above zero before we reverted back to snow today, on the first day of spring.

This is warm!

Yeah, that's not really something I can fix. It's something the boys at mozilla.org put there.

Also, would it be possible to change the black to the right of the menu bar to a matching gray?

That, on the other hand, is something I can fix. Look for a fix to the menu bar's colors in the next update.

Although, the tab bar just above the browser content, that is supposed to be black. I wanted grey tabs with a nice dark background to contrast them. Should I change that? If so, any suggestions?

The red-outlined area is not a glitch, it's just the small icon set. All the previews have been for the large icon set.

I thought we were going to get rid of that?

The change is in the color up near the toolbars, and added some tasteful dividers that I stole from NG.

I couldn't find where to change from small to large icons. Lame, I know.

The black of the tabbed links. It looks good, but personally maybe you should make the shading at the top a bit more pronounced, so the darkness is obviously intentional.

But I should probably hold off comments until I figure out how to enable large icons (no, nobody tell me! I'll figure. it. out. myself.)

And a final aside, I don't have a divider at the bottom of my bookmarks.. *shrug*

Crappy. My spring break ended a week ago. And on top of that, we are having to deal with my ailing grandfather.

Here's the condensensed version of it; We cleaned out my room first day of spring break and moved me to a different part of the house so my grandfather could move in. Second day; he moves in, bringing a lot (but not all) of his stuff with him. Third day; we go to his house in Lebanon, TN to get a truckload of his stuff (tools and the like) to bring back to our house. We do this pretty much off and on during the whole break.

But on the third day of break, he's admitted to UMC hospital in Lebanon. He's still there now, but since he was admitted he's had 7 1/2 liters of fluid drained off his right lung and 6 blood transfusions. The fluid from his lungs (they believe) is caused by cancer in some form, but they can't prove it, and the blood loss is from a bleeding ulcer. He;s better now, and may come home in a few months.

I used to be into comic book collecting... still am to a certain extent. It's seems like I am cursed as far as comics go; If I get a relatively new comic that's truly worth something, the series gets cancelled by the publisher. If I find a comic store that I like, it closes down within three months.

Crap, ok. With the large icons, the fade away is nicer. The black of the tab links looks nice por moi.

Yeah, I'll have that fixed in the next version. Promise.

The dividers are a cool idea, but too hard to do for various reasons. Just due to the way it's structured. I'm styling what's there, not adding elements to style. Soo...... yeah. Sorry. No shiny dividers. Although, personally, I like the idea.
