My wife doesn't like houseplants. She says it's because they're messy.
I suspect it's really because she has a tendency to kill them, but
that's another story. She and I were out shopping last week when she
saw an artificial plant she really liked. She suggested we get it.
 
Joking around, I told she'd probably just kill it.
 
She missed the joke and informed that it was artificial, and you can't
kill an artificial plant.
 
I said, "You can if you don't pretend to water it."
 
She didn't think that was as funny as I did. I don't know...I crack 
me up sometimes, but she's a tougher audience, I guess.

"Last week our house was robbed, but all of our valuables
were safe because the would-be burglars didn't even think
of looking for our hidden wall safe."
	-Karen

compartment to store your valuables. Designed to fool even
the smartest of thieves, this wall safe can hold an entire
household's worth of money. Complete with its own saw for
easy installation, you can get one safe for $9.99, or save

WEBMASTER TIP - Image Tool Bar
 
Note: In code examples I add a period after each left arrow
bracket so the code can be viewed in all e-mail programs. If you
copy and paste, be sure to remove the periods or it won't work.
 
Question: Is there a way to turn off that thing that pops up when 
you rest your mouse on an image in IE?
 
Simon Says: It's been a while since I've answered this question, 
and since it's an oft asked question, it's time to address it once 
again.
 
That "thing" is called the Image Toolbar, or Image Tool Bar if you
prefer. To turn off the Image Toolbar for individual pictures, wear
really dirty, smelly clothing...no wait, that's not right, some of
them like that. Try this, use either:
 
<.img src="pic.jpg" galleryimg="no">
<.img src="pic.jpg" galleryimg="false">
 
You should still use the other image attributes and values: border,
width, height, and alt tags. I left them out in the above examples 
for the sake of simplicity.
 
To turn off the Image Toolbar for ALL pictures on a Web page rather
than one at a time, add either of the following meta tags to the HEAD
section of your page:
 
<.meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">
<.meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="false">
 
If you turn off the Image Toolbar for all pictures on a Web page, you
can enable it for individual pictures by setting the "galleryimg"
attribute to "yes" or "true" for an individual picture. Examples:
 
<.img src="pic.gif" galleryimg="yes">
<.img src="pic.gif" galleryimg="true">
 
Note: You can only turn off the Image Toolbar for images that use the
<.img> tag; it doesn't affect other tags such as  or
