  3. here in NZ

    we have a city called dunedin

    and back in the early.50 and 60

    it was 94 percent scots

    now of course with the influx of immigrents

    it has halved that total.

    and every 3 years we have a south pacific.

    scots and irish festival

    and the amount of dancing competitions

    goes for 7 days.

    in the modern times they have included all

    ethnic groups .

    and i love it

    my the scotch that is partaken of. would fill a

    water tank.

    i met a man last year who went to the mosiac .

    and when chappy mentioned it in his post.i coudnt remember where ide heard the name

    scots and irish music is very populiar in this country .

    and i remember when i was playing in the band .

    we all had to play a series of scottish and irish melodies.

    as well as other music.

    at one stage i belong to glasgee was our natinal anthem

    un til queen victoria came to the throne

    and to be honest icant remember the words to god save the queen .

  9. have you been to sound properties and checked all the boxes.

    make sure there isnt any mute boxes checked .

    try this uninstall your sound card driver .

    then reboot your compt

    in your tray it will say

    hardware discovered or words like that.

    then go to sys- hard ware -device manager

    right click your sound card and up date your driver

    if windows has configured your sound card driver it will say

    cant find a better driver.

  10. yo amuskrat

    i had that happen to me once .

    probably weve all done it .

    i went to the horse races

    with my son

    and i forgot the keys in the ignition

    i set my door to lock on auto.

    well my son walked to a fence

    got a bit of wire bent a hook on it

    and toggled it down the window frame

    the hook must have

    attached to a latch

    and we were in

    god i didnt ask him were he learned that trick.

    as he is a mechanic

    i presume he learned through his work.

    good one i loved that .

    audio. not sure if i acted that way or not

    thanks

    marty

  11. is your sound in board or sound card.

    go to -start -control panel -sound and audio devices .

    see if there is a check mark in place a volume icon on your taskbar.

    if it isnt checked .

    check it and see if an error notice comes up

    and post the error notice to the thread .

    do as novi says first. look to see if the volume icon is in your tray.

    Gynecologist Appointment=Slightly Adult

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (There is not a woman today that won't crack up over this one!) I was due later in the week for an appointment with the gynecologist.

    Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am.

    I had only just packed everyone off to work and school and it was already around 8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.

    As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort.

    So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in "that area" to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment. I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.

    Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?" I didn't respond.

    After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.

    The rest of the day was normal...some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, "Mommy, where's my wash cloth?"

    I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles in it."
