Tully Mars · 06-21-2009, 10:50 AM

Yes and happy father's day back at you. Haven't heard from my kid and probably won't, she's doing sea survival school in northern California. Hope she survives.

So, I'm getting lost are we in the Med or the Adriatic?

Shell · 06-21-2009, 11:00 AM

...he's on the med, tully. Croatia maybe?

Tully Mars · 06-21-2009, 11:08 AM

Former Yugoslavia country touching the Med? I think I give up.

Shell · 06-21-2009, 11:32 AM

Tully...you can give up for now but don't go away
...i think you need a BIG hug to cheer you up ((((tully))))

...i'm sure he'll throw in a clue for us soon...i'm a little confused too...it's not an area i know much about (obviously, since i'm still calling it yugoslavia lol...i guess my atlas is old and i can't find a good detailed online map

I wasn't leaving, surely won't now.

Still confused, self portrait?

Thanks for the hug, I'll do my best to get my arms around you.

...hahaha...very funny

uncle phil · 06-21-2009, 03:41 PM

/me weighs the idea of saying "get a room..."

where are we, in old yugoslavia?

zagreb?

BadNick · 06-21-2009, 06:21 PM

not zagreb.

Sorry about my being "on meds" clue, maybe I was a bit too loose with my geography. Actually the town I'm in is on the Adriatic Sea which I figure is sort of an extension of the Mediterranean ...but again, sorry, it's Adriatic.

According to several sources I checked, the Adriatic is considered a part of the Mediterranean; for better or worse, this wiki page also says that: Adriatic Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm in a coastal town.

uncle phil · 06-22-2009, 03:03 AM

dubrovnik?

Tully Mars · 06-22-2009, 03:46 AM

So are we in Croatia?

Shell · 06-22-2009, 04:08 AM

...i asked that in post #6602 but haven't received an answer yet. We'll have to cut him some slack cuz he was totally into father's day yesterday.

BadNick · 06-22-2009, 06:03 AM

he's alive, he's alive!!! = I mean me

OK, Shell was correct with her Croatia guess, as was Tul with his follow up check on that. And then uncle phil swoops in for the kill by finding me in Dubrovnik.

You're up unc.

I picked Dubrovnik since it seems like such a cool place, with so many cultural influences from both Eastern and Western Europe and Asia, plus I have a lovely aunt who lives there and she's invited us to come visit quite a few times so I'm planning to do that in the not too distant future. I'm glad that in spite of the ugly conflicts in that area, the cultural history was not wiped out and what was damaged has or is being rebuilt.

In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

Historical lore indicates that Dubrovnik was founded in the 7th century. Dubrovnik, also known as "the Pearl of the Adriatic" is a city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned at the terminal end of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Adriatic.

The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Dubrovnik, it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Dubrovnik was one of the centres of the development of primarily the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.

Pack light if you go, you don't need clothes at many of the gorgeous beaches along the Adriatic coast of Croatia.

uncle phil · 06-22-2009, 06:11 AM

your "nick" gave it away...

i'll think of someplace by this afternoon...

BadNick · 06-22-2009, 06:14 AM

unc, may I suggest the Northern Hemisphere? It's quite popular this time of year.

Mind if I tag along?

BadNick · 06-22-2009, 10:53 AM

Tul, please do. Can I impose on you for some diving guidance?

Tul, if you ever want a change of pace from Mexico, I'm sure you could get a diving guide/instruction job in Dubrovnik. Even though all women are beautiful, I know from looking at some of the women in my family that Slavic blood can also be a good thing.

uncle phil · 06-22-2009, 12:02 PM

unc,
this is how I do it:
1) view what you want to get a pic of on your screen
2) hit "print screen" button of keyboard; note that on most keyboards, this requires you to "shift" to the upper key context, so you probably have to hold down the "shift" key and then hit the "print screen" key
3) open almost any graphics program...I use MS Paint
3) under the "edit" tab at the top, drop down to "paste" and let loose
4) you should now have that screen shot in front of you
5) you can simply go to "file" and "save as" and do what you want or you can manipulate the pic, change it, etc. and then save it. Almost anything your dear heart desires is possible.
6) after I have the pic saved, usually as a "jpg", I might choose to copy it to my photobucket account, and then use the "img" code to paste it into a post here for all of you to enjoy or be annoyed with.

uncle phil · 06-22-2009, 12:45 PM

in your sofa...

i'll try to remember that stuff; i'll have to see if i've got ms paint or anything like that, though...

Jetée · 06-22-2009, 12:52 PM

Northeast

BadNick · 06-22-2009, 12:53 PM

east of the miss?

unc, if you're running MS Windows, you can download Paint for free. I know my son with the MacBook has an Apple default program that is similar and can do the same or more. I'm not sure about Linux or other OS's but usually by the time Microsoft has it, everybody else already had it.

Tully Mars · 06-22-2009, 05:20 PM

Sorry I'm late, been checking pics of Slavic ladies all day. Wonder if their language would be any easier then Spanish?

So north of 40?

BadNick · 06-22-2009, 07:45 PM

unc, are you going coastal on us?

Tul, from what I gather, English is taught to almost all students in much of Europe so if you make an effort, I think the Slavic ladies will engage you and help communicate. I was surprised when my cousins who were never in England or the U.S. or other English-speaking country came to visit and they spoke pretty decent English. Same with my Hungarian cousins and my Czech cousins. They told me that when I come visit them, just bring one suitcase full of GAP jeans and that will pay for the whole vacation since they're worth that much over there.

Shell · 06-22-2009, 07:47 PM

...landlocked?

BadNick · 06-22-2009, 07:56 PM

hi Shell. Of course you're invited, too.

a state that has the word "new" in it?

uncle phil · 06-23-2009, 02:54 AM

jet - no

nick - no

tully - yes

nick - no

shell - yes

nick - no

Tully Mars · 06-23-2009, 03:04 AM

Just to be clear, the state you're in is landlocked?

uncle phil · 06-23-2009, 03:05 AM

yup...

Tully Mars · 06-23-2009, 03:15 AM

West of 105?

uncle phil · 06-23-2009, 03:32 AM

nope...

Shell · 06-23-2009, 03:44 AM

...heartland?

uncle phil · 06-23-2009, 04:08 AM

shell - not sure

Tully Mars · 06-23-2009, 04:46 AM

One of the Dakotas?

BadNick · 06-23-2009, 06:52 AM

Nebraska?

Shell · 06-23-2009, 10:30 AM

...sorry phil...that was a broad question...
Heartland of America is very general to mean
all those states centrally located.

Basically

North and South Dakota,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota,
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin
(maybe kentucky and ohio)

...so, assuming your answer would have been yes to those, my question now is...does it start with an "I"?

uncle phil · 06-23-2009, 11:07 AM

tully - no

nick - no

shel - no, no

Shell Cheers Location: Eastcoast USA	...sorry phil...that was a broad question... Heartland of America is very general to mean all those states centrally located. Basically North and South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin (maybe kentucky and ohio) ...so, assuming your answer would have been yes to those, my question now is...does it start with an "I"? __________________ ..."Say what you think.
