LEGO

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the famous Lego blocks collection.
I didn't realise how old this makes me to remember that I received a set when I was 12 years old from Uncle Shine when I was cooped up in the hospital. Thanks Uncle. It's a gift that I will always remember with fondness and only the privileged boys had them. They were a new invention to me, although they actually have been around since 1949. Probably took this long to gain some national popularity?
Hey, the thought just occurred to me that we are the same age and grew up together, they must have made them just for me :o)

a true friend

We all have friends. A lot gets talked about friendships. Everyone wants a true friend, and many of us believe that we have a friend who can be called a true friend. What kind of relations do friends share? When can we call a friend a true friend, and when can our friends take us as their true friend. After a romantic relationship, friendships are the most important relationships we can have. Though all of us have family and distant family, most of us rely on friends for advice, comfort and inspiration. How do we define a relation that can be called as one of true friendship?

The very first sign of a very good friend, not necessarily a true friend is that we are not worried about courtesies. You will call your friend at any hour and talk without any thought of time in your mind. Similarly, whenever you need support, you will call a very good friend and ask him/her to help you out. They expect the same from you. Another important trait of such relations is that we are not much worried about exposing ourselves. We speak about everything in our mind without worrying about what our friends will think. We are sure that they will take our talk in the spirit it was made. We are unguarded and open with friends in our talk.

A true friend is a little more than a very good friend. A true friend will support you even if it hurts his/her own interest. A true friend will understand your motives and needs and will be with you without any analysis or criticism. A true friend will come forward to help without any request and be with us in need without showing it or expecting anything in return. With a true friend, you can be sure that you will get help to the extent possible by him/her. Nothing will remain unturned. A mother is a true friend of her children. If we share such relations with an adult we can say that we are true friends.

A true friend makes no excuses of having work or appointments or anything but will be with you whenever you need him/her. In your hour of desperation, a true friend will support you even if the whole world opposes you. A true friend is not an opportunist. A true friend means to have someone who is like mother, as I said earlier. Instead of having hundreds of good friends, if you have a true friend, treat yourself lucky. If you can also become a true friend of someone, you will be blessed, because it is much easier for all of us to expect but very difficult to give. Be a true friend yourself first.

Look for this, you will probably have to fix it in the Edit HTML pane.

The phrase “Oh, so what!” is one of the most powerful chemicals in the universe that you can use to dissolve negative energy.font>p>div><font size="3">
<br style="font-style: italic; font-family: comic sans ms;">font><font size="5"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-weight: bold;"><br>span>font>div>
<div style='clear:both'>div>


Where it says this: <br style="font-style: italic;
It needs to say this: <br> style="font-style: italic;

float

I am almost there, just a little more time to figure it out. I have all the images in an absolute position, and the text breaking around the images, no matter what screen resolution. It only works properly if someone is not viewing in another font size, then the text will hide behind the image.

I read that what needs to be done is float the image(s) in a div tag and manually place it in the text, like so:

"For example, if you need an ad floated to the right of the screen, about halfway down in your editable text, you have to have something like so:

text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here. text here.

image here

So you'd have to manually place the ads wherever you want them to appear. Otherwise, they'll just be at the top and bottom of the paragraphs, and then the paragraphs will wrap around them. But no, it'll make the text as editable as ever. All the float does is cause the element in question to go where you want and have stuff wrap around it".
