Hit & hold down the shift key followed by the control key. Let go. Problem fixed.

Please send $19.95 to peter2772000@yahoo.com

Payment method preferred is by EMT.
Thank you

Petey, did you get paid by Emergency Medical Technicians? Or does my Yankee brain also translate EMT to be Electronic Money Transfer? You know I just had to ask!!

Geez, are all people from Kentucky this slow? Of course I mean "Emergency Medical Technicians". [-(


"Electronic Money Transfer"... What a ridiculous thought.... :smurf:

PS: Believe it or not, it's actually "Email Money Transfer". I argued with the bank teller until she showed me the definition on the bank website. It was, mind you, a canadian bank .... :-k

:muhaha:
