  1. KNOCK ON WOOD Three sisters ages 72, 74, and 76 live in a house together. One night the 76 year old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells down the stairs "was I getting in or out of the bath?". The 74 year old yells back "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses. Then she yells "was I going up the stairs or down?" The 72 year old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says "I sure hope I never get that forgetful." She knocks on wood for good measure. She then yells "I'll come up and help b

  5. Thanks TT for letting us know about Mike. Wish you the best Mike. I know chemo is no fun, but you have to give it a try. As Liz says, medicine has made a lot of progress and is well worth the try. My prayers are with you. Barb
  6. You are very welcome, Pat. It does have a free trial D/L, but I understand if you do not want to take the chance of screwing up your computer. If I hear of anything else, will let you know. Take care Barb

    Memorial Day

    MEMORIAL DAY. We walked among the crosses Where our fallen soldiers lay. And listened to the bugle As TAPS began to play. The Chaplin led a prayer We stood with heads bowed low. And I thought of fallen comrades I had known so long ago. They came from every city Across this fertile land. That we might live in freedom. They lie here 'neath the sand. I felt a little guilty My sacrifice was small. I only lost a little time But these men lost their all. Now the services are over For this Memorial Day. To the names upon these crosses I just want to say, Thanks for what you've given No one could ask

    Sad News

    SAD NEWS Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Dou
  12. Pretty much same wather here also. Was 69 degrees and the rain came and temp went to 59 degrees in about 15 min. Calls for rain, thunderstorms all week. Temp flucuating between 70-60. Crazy weather all over. Oh well, not much I can do about it. Can't worry about something I can not control. Barb
  13. Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with the expensive, double-pane energy-efficient kind. Today, I got a call from the contractor complaining his work had been completed a year ago and I had yet to pay for them. Boy, oh boy, did we go around and around! Just because I'm a blonde does not mean I'm automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast-talking sales guy told me last year - namely, that in one year, the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other end of the line, so I just hung up. I have not heard anything since. Guess I won that
  14. Hey Liz: I do the same thing. (keep my speakers off) I have very little luck with internet radio. It won't stay on, keeps buffering. I guess it's my lousey dialup. Have no other choice. Grrrrrrrrrr!! Barb

    Hey Dragon: Nice place. Have just registered, waiting for email to activate. Com'on ladies. We can't let the men have all the fun. Barb
  16. Most definately a big thanks to Drew and Mac, for setting up a place for us to gather. It was greatly appreciated. They both did a great job keeping us all together. I have not been spending as much time here as I usually do, as this time of year is yard work. Trying to get it to look nice. I love working outside, as long as it is not too hot. I can spend hours just puttering around. Also there is nothing like a cold beer on a hot day after working in the yard. It is also Baseball season for me, and I loooove Baseball. Many thanks to Drew and Mac.

  19. I never had any trouble getting a rebate from Dell. I had it on 2 of them and got the rebates. In fact I've never had any trouble getting any rebate from any retailer. It takes a long time, but I got every one of them. Maybe I'm lucky. I have heard about rebate problems.
  20. I have had 3 Dell Computers, and have never had a lick of trouble with any of them. I would not have any thing else, but a Dell. Not all of us have the talent to build their own. If you do buy a Dell, don't get the $399 or what ever cheap ones. You get what you pay for. They (Dell) and everyone else (Other manufacturers) sell at a cheaper price so someone who can not afford a computer can still get one. So, if you can not build it, or can not afford to pay $1500 to $2500, buy what you can afford. If all you will use a computer for is email, than those cheaper ones are OK. I have a cheap littl

    Hey Marty, really like your avatar. Liz, I like your sig also. Yes handplane is very talented. I don't know how anyone can do this stuff. I've gone into Photoshop and I can't quite understand how to use it. It sounds so complicated. Ah, one of these days.
  22. WOW Those are great. Ya, I like that one too Liz, and the first one also. Looks like a bottle of beer. Almost feel like driving along side and hold up a pitcher to pour it. Barb

    I know they mean well. I just never give up trying to educate her about this stuff. I usually just delete it. Maybe we could put yours and mine together and they can send each other all those emails. Barb
