San Juan Hill, Panama Canal, WHITE HOUSE (it was called the Presidential Mansion before him), Department of the Interior, National Parks, Trust busting... Why isn't he on our money? And it should be a really cool denomination, too.
The new money is ODD. I got my first 2010 penny today and I had play money when I was little that felt more real. The dollar may not be worth much, but I'd like to at least feel like the currency isn't made by some yahoo with a tin can press in their basement.
There are several different new pennies, but I swear one of them looks a bit like something I got in a crackerjack box in the 1970s. I kind of like the "unfinished Capitol" reverse.
And is it tacky of me to ask if you're still reading Criminal Minds fic? I didn't know if you'd seen that there's more Transformations up.
Hi! It's not tacky at all. I don't spend as much time on the 'net in the summer (I garden), so I'm way behind in my reading. I still will read CM and will look for your latest update, it will give me something fun to look forward to :-)
Okay, I found another way to get to the change password section of hotmail. Let's see if I can describe it.
1) Scroll to the bottom of your hotmail screen. In the lower right hand corner, there should be a section that says "Help Center". Click on that.
2) I had a new screen open up that brings you to a useless FAQ page. However, on the right hand side it says "Ask your question in the hotmail forums". Click on that.
3) The "Hotmail Portal" opens up. At the top of the middle column of links, there should be something that says "Account Recovery and Security". Click on that.
4) Now, in the right hand column, there should be something that says "Account Compromise - Unauthorized Account Access". Click on that.
5) There should be a link that says "Change Your Password". Go for it.
And really, it should not be so ridiculously difficult to find a way to change your password in hotmail.
The only thing I can remember about him (thank you NJ public schools) is that he was the lead general during the Mexican-American War. Which, given the current froth of the immigration debate, may mean someone in the Mint is rabble-rousing. Or just has an interesting sense of humor.
I only really know him from the fantastic 'Medicore Presidents' song from The Simpsons that Bart and his class sing as part of their school show. And which this news has actually now spoiled a bit:
"We are the medicore Presidents/ You won't find our faces on Dollars or on Cents/ There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Fillmore and there's Hayes/ There's William Henry Harrison! ('I died in 30 days!') We are the adequate/ Forgettable/ Occasionally regrettable/ Caretaker presidents of the U! S! AAAAA!
I'm related to William Henry Harrison vaguely. *G* I even have the weak lungs. (He caught pneumonia delivering the longest inaugural address in history and died 30 days later.) Can't wait to see what they do for the 20th century verse.
Teddy Roosevelt...Rough Rider, National Parks, Mt. Rushmore. 'Nuff said. Zachary who? (Yes, I know he was a President..but that's about it).
Speaking of 'Presidents on our Money'..I watched Ken Burns' "The Civil War" on DVD not too long ago, and the next time I had to check a $50 bill to make sure if was okay, it was like..."Wow...Grant!" because they used the same image on the bill in the series a lot. Good General, not so good President.
Apparently, they're doing a whole presidential series! I didn't know that. So, it was just luck that I got Zachary Taylor and not Millard Fillmore. They're doing 4 a year like the quarters, so I should get Teddy in 2012 or 13. Have a look out for an Adams one...
I didn't know that either. We don't see a lot of the $1.00 coins at work, but I'm glad they changed them from silver to gold, because I think quite a few people handed them over thinking they were quarters. But it will be interesting to see them as they come out.
And the quarters series branched out to the U.S. possessions, like Guam and The Virgin Islands. Nice to see our tax dollars hard at work!
There was a controversy over the DC quarter. They didn't want the District's motto ("Taxation without Representation") on it because it was "too political." I didn't think a fact could be political. LOL
They won; it's something innocuous with Duke Ellington.

Date: 2010-08-20 12:52 am (UTC)I was in a bar once by the Alamo where Teddy Roosevelt recruited his roughriders (or so legend has it). So... yeah... no Google needed. ;-)
Btw, did you get your hotmail password changed?
