I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
It's been awhile since we've had one of these threads.

I changed my desktop recently, so if you got 'em - flaunt 'em!!

It's a little out of character for what I usually have (nature scenes with striking lighting, stuff like that), but I really like it.

Party's next weekend... wish me luck! I've had RSVPs from 3/12 people... oy.

50. Definitely good luck with the party.
When I was 8, I was going to have my first birthday party with a bunch of kids from school. I rode my bike around delivering all the invitations, and no one came to my party. I will say that it was during the summer and a lot of kids were gone, but that really sucked. I ended up with tonsillitis to boot. Needless to say, that was my worst birthday ever.

I'm sure your daughter's birthday will be far happier! :hi:

31. How do you like Ubuntu?
I've thought about giving it a try, I've used other Linux distributions in the past with mixed results. I hear a lot great things about Ubuntu, though.

Here's mine, by the way.

I like Ubuntu pretty well, considering I've never had a Linux machine before, just used my husband's some in the past. For the most part, it's not bad, and I have him around for advice, so haven't been too frustrated, so far.

57. Actually, it's called dragonera because it's covered with
billions of little dragones, or lizards!



It does look like a dragon, though. Here's another view:

The screen shot is so old that I'm still using Photoshop CS2.



I should make something new, just for a change of pace.
