					<description>:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

And there go the other fingers! 

Bound and determined to injure the rest, eh? :P

But very kind to give the blackbird a reprieve.  :)

Blueberries?  Have you been growing them long?  Any tips on feeding, trimming etc?  My sister-in-law just planted a couple of bushes.</description>

					<description>@ Lynnette: Actually, that didn't even hurt; it was merely annoying.

Cutting birds out of those nets has a long family tradition. First time though I had to do it alone and thus with only 2 hands....

Well..... we planted one blueberry bush this spring.
It developed flowers, which eventually turned into a dozen or so blueberries.
Not bad for a first year I suppose.
My father said blueberries normally need sour soil, but the gardening catalogue praised them as a special breed that grows on any soil... :dunno:

@ the nasty Kitten: What, more stupid birds? ;)

Yeeeeeees, I found 2 online, a German and an English one.
They answered the question I asked you, but various others I encountered - while merely trying to set the time and the alarms - they didn't even touch upon.
"Do this, click here, set that, click over there."
Well, er, yes, dear manual. But I was wondering how exactly I have to go about &lt;b&gt;setting that&lt;/b&gt;...

I never once needed the manual you gave me for the other one cos every function was simply obvious.
But this one is driving me nuts.
I did figure out how to set the time zones though &lt;b&gt;without&lt;/b&gt; the "help" of the manual. Well, I had to. It was one of those questions it didn't answer.
Could it be the people who wrote the manual had no clue how the bloody thing works? :shifty:</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;My father said blueberries normally need sour soil, but the gardening catalogue praised them as a special breed that grows on any soil…&lt;/i&gt;

Ahh, my mother said the same thing.  That's why you see them growing in the wild around pine trees.    She suggested adding some &lt;a href="http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod70218" rel="nofollow"&gt;Miracid&lt;/a&gt; to the soil.  Well, I guess you will see if the label on yours is right.  It sounds like you have a good start.

Oh, and I agree with Nasty Kitten.  An excellent post. :)</description>

					<description>Hm... so it looks like I don't have to look for the manual now...? Because that effing cell drove me nuts, too. And the manual was every bit as helpful as those you found.

*wonders if she ritually burned the manual, then repressed the memory of doing so*  :D</description>

					<description>@ Caesar (again): *damns your messenger as well*

Yeah, and as sites that you get redirected to by mispelling often used stuff like "blogspot" are often riddled with viruses, your comment is not true anymore.
I edited Lelly's url, so it spells the correct one and leads to her blog now.</description>

					<description>Hmmm...obviously Khalid is not a fan of blueberries and thus doesn't understand the lengths people will go to protect their crop from a bird's ravagement... :D

(Of course one could substitute &lt;i&gt;raspberries&lt;/i&gt; for blueberries and you would see why I can empathize completely with this post. ;) )</description>

					<description>@ Lynnette: Or maybe Khalid only read two or three sentences and skimmed through the rest. :P

@ Attawie: Glad to have been of help.

This is especially funny as a colleague at work kept ducking away from a blackbird that had flown into the store and that we were trying to capture and show out again because "Do you have any idea how sharp their beaks can be?".
Yes, dear, now I do, and the answer is "not at all". :rofl:

You can't have any of my blueberries, sorry.

Pandora: So what; when I asked you about that other edit you said either was ok. :P

Well, like I said, my guess'd be less Jesus freak and more virus site.
I can't see some Bible fans redirecting everyone who misspells "blogspot" to their site...

@ nasty Kitten: Can I get you anything that'd help with your memory? :&#124;

@ bro-in-law: :blush:</description>

					<description>Really funny post, like your imagination ;). I thought I had commented on it a few days ago; but I think in my haste ( was at work at the time ) I clicked the preview button instead of the post one :P.</description>

					<description>@ Lynnette: &lt;i&gt;*gives Khalid an offended look on Mel’s behalf*&lt;/i&gt;

Thank you, thank you.

Now quit spamming, girl!!  *stern look*

@ PH: No matter what you do, it's always wrong.
First, ppl complained they wanted a preview function.
Now, ppl don't comment cos they confuse the two buttons (you're not the first, and certainly won't be the last....).

*sighs*

@ nasty Kitten: *patpat* :shifty:</description>

					<description>@ Mel :

I wasn't complaining I was just justifying my delay in commenting  :P. Plus I commented even after confusing the buttons, you can switch them it would make more sense :P.</description>

Anyhow, I am glad I did find a plugin for comment preview to make my readers happy (*glances at Lynnette*), I'm not gonna destroy it now by messing around with it...
