Thanks for the link Liz, I think this is a totally idiotic statement: quoting from the article. “Other than that, I think, you know, the public should feel secure in purchasing pet foods that are not subject to the recall,†Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, told reporters." If he thinks anyone feels pet food is safe he's living in an isolation booth with no tv, newspaper, or internet news!!! And down at the bottom of the article yet another recall, this time for salmonella contamination, for pet owners to double check what they have/buy. "Also Thursda

Happy Birthday to you both!!! May you each be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Pat God bless everyone

Hubby went to work one morning many years ago with his spare pair of work boots (he was going to be working in a wet area and wanted a dry pair to switch to afterwards) on top of the car...luckily he stopped at friend's gas station for a fillup...and he noticed the boots. Sure took alot of ribbing over that one. Later he got teased every time the friend, who also was the manager of the apartment building we lived in, saw him go out to the car!!! handplane thanks for your method to keep track of computer work. For my computer, I do keep notes in steno pad for various registration numbers, pa

I have a similar tale of woe, but mine is even worse...it's my dialup's (CFAITH) home page!!! They just don't seem to get it that dialup is inherently slow!!! So a couple of years back they updated their home page, from an easy to load nice site that had Christian devotionals etc to a bunch of Christian ads for various things they wanted people to start buying/doing....renting cds, doing ecards, buying books, etc. All of course with pics to slow things down, and did I mention they made it harder to find the various devotionals which now you have to go to other slow to load pages instead of on

Liz's link remiinded me of the one I was trying to think of last night. Ha!!! Thanks Liz. It's Free Geek!!! They are sure doing a good job for the community, for those it helps with rebuilt computers complete with Linux installed, and for the environment!! Instead of the home page, I am first linking to the news and events, because one of the items mentioned a similar outfit in Columbus Ohio...so there might be others across the country too. Sure would be good to have them in many places!!! Contact info on left side of page to see if they know of other such sites in U.S. Free Geek news and ev

Achoo!!! Pat God bless everyone

Any private or nonprofit outfits in your area that rebuilds computers from donated used parts for low income folks? I can't think of the name of the local nonprofit that does that and then loads linux on them to give away, and can't find it right now. Our Metro recycling site used to have it listed, but the site has changed and now I can't easily find things like I used to be able to! Anyhow thought if I could find that outfit's site I could give it to you to email them and ask if they had a counterpart in your area. Oh well I'll look some more tomorrow. I don't remember where I got this link

Happy Birthday from me too. May you be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Pat God bless everyone

Hi folks, Thanks Sultan for the links, will check them out tomorrow, to head-achy tonight to hardly even see straight. Hubby mowed the lawn this afternoon and I have a sinus (allergy to mown grass) and stress (from F-Secure install) headache!!! Actually the uninstall went ok, although got a surprise while I was posting here yesterday when suddenly the F-Secure icon on system tray started doing a red blinking ! on top of it...mouse hover said expired. I thought I had until midnight since a popup that showed up when I turned on computer each time said April 4th (maybe that was Finland time/dat

First will put in links to articles from the Oregonian yesterday... the first one shows the total ineptitude of those who are in charge of protecting the food supply for either pets or humans. They didn't even announce banning importing wheat gluten from China until Monday and I wonder how long after the announcement the ban will take affect??? Why on earth didn't they at least put a temporary ban on it's sale here and from anymore coming into our country until the whole thing was solved when they first found out the stuff had a problem???!!!???

Thanks Liz, Barb, and Mark for all your help. I don't ever order things online (was just hoping to find a rebate I could print out and use by mail but didn't find any), so we went down to Fry's yesterday to get F-Secure 2007 Internet Security Suite...no rebates (so watch them have it next week or soon now I've already purchased it!) so was $70. Only place in town (way way on the far side of the metro area!) I know that has it. So tomorrow is the big day to uninstall the old version and do the new. I hope it all works out ok but a few prayers wouldn't hurt, considering this cantankerous comput

Very True!!! Also I think it is the main source of Global Warming due to all the excess hot air expelled in the pressurized heated atmosphere that this element thrives on...which expands to other areas especially on various time schedules of the week/year/cycle of the element interacting with it's base or with an antagonist agent. this heavy element is also a black hole for sucking up resources especially money. This element is frequently a heavy burden on the shoulders of those who are subject to it. Pat God bless everyone

I would try using people search (name, address if you have it, or city if you have it with the rural route/post office designation from them, and state) on Switchboard. com, then once you get the right answer do a map search via clicking on the additional map link when you get the right results from your search. I have other people/business search site links if you need them. Pat God bless everyone

I am wondering when, or if, anyone will start checking into how much of the tainted wheat gluten got into our human food supply? I think this will be the next shoe to drop on our heads. Yeah wheat gluten is used in alot of products...not just for making loaves of bread, how about in the hamburger buns at your local fast food joint, and is used in all sorts of packaged food products, and if I remember right it is used in various vegetarian products though will have to do a search for more info on that one. I have seen nothing from the FDA or anyone in government commenting on if this product or

Will grab the recipe for you tomorrow, getting close to time for my dialup to cut off. Trust me, the side dish is good!!! Thanks for the idea of online rebates...if you guys find anything let me know. Thanks! I finally got the printer back up and running again to print out any rebates you find! It started acting strange a few months back and then got to point where it couldn't even find itself for some reason so finally I got mad and decided to just unplug it and then I uninstalled the software, then plugged it back in but plug and play didn't recognize it, so I reinstalled the drivers (who

Liz, I just read your post to my hubby...he grinned and said he'd ship you all the dandelions you'll need for those recipes...Ha Ha!!! Of course they might be prechopped...with the weed wacker!!! Your meatloaf sounds like one of the two main recipes I use.... the other uses mushroom soup undiluted...and yes I use quick oats in mine too. Have you ever used oats as a side dish like rice or potatoes? I have a great tasting, and quick, stove top recipe for them with several variations too. So good!!! If anyone is interested I'll post the recipe, it was originally from a recipe booklet from the Qua

Happy Birthday Jimras! May you be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Pat God bless everyone

Hugs to all of you folks!!! Yes it does seem like Spring has sprung some crazy problems for many people. I know others like handplane here and my friends have it alot tougher than I do, but often it's what's on your own plate that is so hard to swallow. I guess I just needed to talk it out a bit rather than having a real full blown nuclear meltdown. Tough times never last only tough people is what my Mom used to say when I was little and we were hungry with very little food was in the house....but somehow in spite of all the hard times I never did learn how tough it out...sigh!!! Of course th

Hi Liz, Thanks for the hugs, sure need all the hugs I can get to make it through some days!!! My friend's German Shepherd was a stray she rescued a few years ago!!! A major country living problem is cowardly people drop off unwanted animals in dead of night all the time for the area residents to find and take care of and she has rescued so many over the years but this one sure paid her back for it. I still cry when I think about him barking and tugging on her to wake her up...she was so groggy probably from the fumes and smoke!!! No one has told me yet where he was found, they thought at firs

Hello Brian, Glad you are moved back in and enjoying your new place!!! Your friend sounds like he is a bit jealous of your nice place while his complaints go unanswered. They definitely need to do something for him too. And structurally I don't see why they can't widen a door...just make a bigger opening (do jack supports for overhead weight if needed) while adding the right size header to support the ceiling weight over the new opening, and add a new bigger door!!! Gosh we are amateurs at remodeling our old house and have changed out doors and windows to bigger ones many times. Only one we h

A welcome surprise, seeing you back online so fast, but sure glad to hear you are back home and recovering. How long do you have to have the 'seed implants'? Or are they permanent? If so it could put a damper on any future plane travel, or at least they might set off the airport security systems, same thing with security screening in federal and other buildings though it would be interesting to see if any of the scanners detect a 'little' extra radiation! We will continue our prayers for a complete healing for you. Take care my friend. Pat God bless everyone

I am so happy for you having a nice remodeled apartment home to move back into and to enjoy! I took a look at the Washington Apartments link from the housing authority link, nice looking place outside!!! Is that a park across the street? And a pretty church with it's tall steeple next door, what denomination? I am glad your best friend will be next door, it's always nice to have friends nearby. Pat God bless everyone
