    FEMALE POEM I want a man who's handsome and strong A man who will listen carefully and long. One who thinks before he speaks One who will call and won't wait for weeks. I want a man who is gainfully employed And when I spend his money, won't be annoyed. A man who holds my arm as he opens the door And massages my neck as he asks to do more. I guess what I want is a man who loves to the end A man who will always be my very best friend. MALE POEM I want a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a li
  2. The reason that MOST of these A**holes don't put their carts away is just plain lazieness. I agree with parking further back to avoid the dings. And the exercise won't hurt you, either. I ALWAYS put my cart away, and another thing that you could do] is grab one of the ones left out when you go there and take it back inside when you enter. jim
  3. A blonde, a brunette and a redhead are stuck on an island. And for years and years they lived there, one day they find a magic lamp. They rub and rub and sure enough out comes a genie. The genie says, "Since I can only give out 3 wishes, you may each have one." So the brunette goes first, "I have been stuck here for years, I miss my family and my husband and my life. I wish I was home.", and POOF she is gone. The redhead makes her wish, "This place stinks, I wish I was home with my family also.", and POOF she is gone. The blonde starts crying uncontrollably. The genie says to her, "My de

  6. It's been a while since I looked into wireless but I think you're going to find that the router will work into your budget but the expense will come when you start buying wireless cards (NIC) for your computers You have the right idea as to what you need and want to do

  10. Did you hear about the guy who had a job circumsizing elephants? The pay was lousy but the tips were big.
  11. You could put the image file on a server somewhere and then link to it
  12. Sometimes you can replace the fan in the PSU IF you can, it's only a few $ and worth a try
  13. I had a comp with a "buzzing" PSU and it turned out that the cooling fan was going bad. I replaced the fan and all was well. Don't know if this is YOUR problem or not but it's worth a mention jim
  14. Well then, I shall give it a try!! Thanks......... jim
  15. Hi all I recently bought a new game that required a DVD drive. Being the cheapskate that I am, I didn't run out and buy the latest and greatest one available. All I needed was a DVD ROM that would play at 8X. I had a drive that was in an older HP box that was made by Pioneer and it is a 10X so I installed it and it reads DVD's (for data) just fine. I don't have any DVD software, however, and it might be nice to be able to use the computer to watch DVD's. Does anybody know of a program that I could download that would allow me to watch DVD's on here? I would REALLY like a free program i
  16. Yeah, pretty good. I NEVER argue with Momma.....you can't win no matter what!
  17. Yeah, you gotta be careful what you wish for........ sometimes you get it! Good one ! !
  18. a teacher put a worm in a class of whisky and then the worm died. She asked the class what they learned.........kid said if you drink whiskey, you won't have worms!!! Love that beer...........forget the water.
  19. A noted psychiatrist was a guest at an academic function, and his blonde hostess naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease. "Would you mind telling me, Doctor," she asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?" "Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track." "What sort of question?" "Well, you might ask them, 'Captain Cook ' made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Wh
  20. I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?" He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer/wine?" "Oh no," I replied," I'm not doing either." Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?" I said,"No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!" Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling? "No, I don't," I said. He aske
  21. Just so you know.the reason for the "grub" error is that the grub loader resides in the partition that your Ubuntu was in and when you removed the Ubuntu install, the grub loader went away with it. Your MBR is looking for this and it's no longer there. Running the XP CD and doing a repair and doing "fixmbr' should have fixed the problem if you did nothing else to it.
  22. If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility.... Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?" A: "No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away." Q: "Officer -- who provided this description?" A: "The officer who responded to the scene." Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fello
  23. I have reformatted quite a few times since installing XP pro There are two things here......registering and activating. Once you register XP, you don't have to do it again when reformatting. You get a choice if you want to or not. Don't! You DO have to re-activate XP and that doesn't seem (at least for me) to be a problem. I have never had any kind of message that it was no longer any good. I understand that when you activate the first time, XP kind of takes a picture of your system---what you have for video board, HD, etc and stores this info somewhere and if you reactivate, it compares
