To them and to our other allies, some of whom have backed us in spite of it being hard on them politically at home and abroad! It's who your friends are when the chips are down that count. Pat God bless everyone

I only go to the Tech Support board over there, learned long ago that the others were Trouble with a capital T. Besides who has time for the nonsense that is posted so often? As for Bill, since when did he become a moderator? He used to post sensible questions and good answers on the Tech board, so what happened to the nice guy image he used to have? Isn't he a member here too, though can't remember when I last saw him posting here. Speaking of 'down under' people....where has Marty been lately? Haven't seem him over there or here and miss him. As for getting banned from over there, well the

Sounds like a good idea to me for all the talented people on board. Names: Arts and Crafts (a play on the historic house type design name) Creative Juice(s) Talent Showcase As you can see from my anemic ideas, I am not too talented myself. Just trying to start the name ball rolling here. Pat God bless everyone

My heart breaks over such terrible treatment of the kids! How is this supposed to do any good for autistic or mentally retarded children? And even those kids with severe behavior problems should not be tortured. Even our prisoners have more rights and are treated better than these kids! Sure a money maker for the school top management, since so few on staff are professionals with degrees in psychology or psychiatry, many on staff barely have a high school diploma it appears so not exactly fit to deal with the kids entrusted to them and probably not paid well either so where is the $200,000 a y

From what you describe is happening (the link didn't work for me...page can't be displayed) I wonder what the parents are thinking to sign over the kids to such a 'school'. I have heard of last chance type schools to turn kids around but this sounds totally sadistic! Why would anyone put kids under such a system, especially autistic kids?!? Unbelievable the ignorance of parents and 'school' to treat them like that. I'd say that someone needs to get some hidden cameras in there to determine extent of abuse so they can prove it to a judge to get the place closed down and kids to safety. I am pra

"We have 1200 registered members The newest member is jprice." quote from bottom of main page. Welcome jprice!!! Glad to see you. We love to have new people joining our BestTechie Family! Look around the board and join in wherever you want. I would have posted this last night but some gremlins seemed to be playing with the board. Sure glad to see things back to normal this morning. Pat God bless everyone

With tears in eyes, thanks for that story! My aunt was one of those long ago information ladies for AT&T in Illinois many many many years ago. She would have loved hearing back from the kids she once talked through their tough times. She had many funny and yes some sad stories of calls that she handled. Pat God bless everyone

Have you tried an old fashioned tv repair shop? Seems like our old Mitsubishi Tv had a slow blow fuse, that was the same size as you need I think, that kept going out on us during warranty which the Electromatic I think was the name of local shop that did the warranty work never got right one for it. The only place we finally found the right one was after it was out of warranty and was from a tv repair hole in the wall type shop here in Portland, the little old man stocked all sorts of odd ball size fuses like that one. Never had to replace it again in next 10 or so years we had the set. Of c

I shouldn't have even opened the thread but at least I sure didn't check the picture out....still don't know why I even opened the thread 'cuz it could have had a picture right in it...dumb bunny me! Phew sure glad it didn't!!! I hate snakes, and spiders too!!! Pat God bless everyone

All things considered though it probably sounds better than the awful supermarket canned music, or even worse that awful piano music in some uppity markets with pianos for "our enjoyment". (disclaimer: I hate most piano playing except for Dino's, I'm a former school band drummer!) Pat God bless everyone
