Rock hard oranges, walking in the rain, HxH, and damn you IE!

Not in the order of the subject line!

IE crashed AGAIN! Took another post of mine with it! GRRRRR! So yes, I'm typing (REtyping) this in a client instead. Grrr. I think those last "critical" updates I installed for Windows must be responsible for this. Nothing on my computer has ever been stable, but IE is now insanely unstable. Grrr.

Anyway, on to the real post!

Does anyone know anything at all about oranges/orange trees? I have one, and it has three oranges on it. They look totally orange in color and are the size one would expect of an orange... but they're hard as a rock to the touch. I'd guess that means they're not ripe yet, but they've been this size/shape for a couple months now... I don't want to pick them if they're not ready yet, and I sort of figure they might just fall off once they're ready/ripe?

Boy, is walking in the rain great fun! I was just out, and it was cold and windy and raining and felt wonderful! (Which is odd, since only this morning I was complaining about the cold...) I can't wait for tomorrow morning; time permitting, I'm going to walk before work instead of after.

How in the heck is Hunter X Hunter going to wrap up in four eps?! I just watched 58, and Gon and Killua were just captured. Eek! And speaking of Killua, he's growing up and it's so cute! I've noticed he's discovered both sweets (whenever a group is out anywhere, he'll be eating ice cream when everyone else is just drinking) and girls!

Awww, he's blushing! (I take it that "service channel" is the Japanese version of adult PPV.)

Gon(?) is speaking...
Killua thinks a reply. *blush*

Oh, and icons! Can you believe I'm up to 48 now? (This is my newest one. Kitty Killua!) I never thought I'd reach 50, but now I want more! Hee.I think I'll always need a paid account just so I can keep all the icons.

Two words for you:

Mozilla. Firebird.

And since you're not the only one that has been having IE crashes, I'd be inclined to think the latest updates are to blame. I don't know if I have the same problem, as I don't use IE, but I'm starting to suspect I probably would.

Mozilla. Firebird.

I'm becoming very tempted, yes! If this behavior continues, I might be forced to switch.

I recommend installing Semagic and using it for posting. It's a lot easier to type in, you can do ctrl-b bold or ctrl-i italic or ctrl-m make image. But above all it auto-saves every N minutes.

That IS a cute icon. XD And I can't believe you finished hunter X hunter. There's how many eps? I'm on like 25 right now.

Re:

Thanks! There are 62 eps total, then two OVAs with eight eps each (though more OVAs are coming).

And I can't believe you finished hunter X hunter.

When I like a series, I can watch it pretty quickly! :)

Yeah, that's what I have installed. I like some of the features (the automatic tags and how it'll take a URL from your clipboard for making links), but the darned thing doesn't have a spellchecker! That's not what's keeping me from using it though, it's just that I'm in the habit of using IE. Going to try to break that though!
