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

I am glad to hear your surgery went ok on your hand, but why is your hip bruised? Did they dump you out off the surgery table or something? Actually a friend of mine fell out of hospital bed when coming out of anesethia (sp?), and they had forgotten to put side rails up on bed. Luckily didn't break any bones. Yes I know you and others have told me and everyone to get rid of Norton, but did I listen....nooooo! Sigh!! Had to learn the hard way that everyone is right about how bad it can be at times. So now I think I will get F-Secure Internet Security Suite. (from Tiger Direct if I can't find it

Hi folks, Yes I have been wondering about these cleaners too. And also scared of them because I am not a techie able to fix any problems they might cause. Been having more than usual amount of trouble with Norton AV and FW lately, so am going to switch to F-Secure Internet Security Suite I think, but wanted to make sure all traces of Norton are wiped off my system (though I think the F-Secure site said it removes conflicting stuff so that may be enough after I do normal add/remove of Norton stuff I hope!!!) I downloaded CCleaner (crap cleaner), but have not used it yet. To scared to try it,

Hello Angie, welcome aboard. Glad to have you here!!! This place is great, with lots of good folks helping each other and having fun while doing it. This is the place we all come to to calm down from the stress on other boards. Lots of us are refugees from other not so friendly places, and have formed into an ever growing family...one that is world wide in scope!!! Do check out the cafe and grab a cup of coffee and some doughnuts, find a comfy chair (watch out not to sit on Honeybun who naps in the most comfortable chairs or hides under the lap robes) while you check out the rest of the board

I guess slapping a "Work Right Or Else" decal onto the top of the computer case doesn't qualify as a mod? Oh well! That's pretty much the extent of my mechanical abilities!!! Seriously, I think a mod section will be a good feature for these boards to draw and keep more members!!! Pat God bless everyone.

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

Had to be the radioactive spiders and mice eating them as it sure wasn't my fault, noooo unuh noooo not my fault they are gone. I didn't go near that Nuclear Reactor again, once was scary enough for me just turning things back on to get power for heat and lights that time. Noooo not my fault the posts are gone. Though I sure am sorry to see that happen!!! It was a good place to be when we needed it, and am thankful to Mac for it, and hope it still will be around if we ever need it again. Pat God bless everyone

This is way over my head, but was wondering if deleting the temp files would free up some space? In IE go to Tools, Internet Options, Temporary Files, also put checkmark in offline content too, then delete. Also clear your history files in the next section down, and check that it isn't more than a few days worth saved. And then go to the Recycle Bin to empty it after you are satisfied looking through it that nothing important was in there that you might change your mind about. Also right click on the Recycle Bin, then on Properties, readjust your slider downwards for how much stuff is kept in

Happy Birthday my friend, May you be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Thanks for all your world famous links to help us with these Personal Confusers, and especially for all your time spent helping so many people!!! Pat, God bless everyone.

Don't underestimate the Seahawks!!! I vote for them, even though they came to town after I left the beautiful Puget Sound country. I am still rooting for them even though I am not a football fan. The only drawback to them winning is the big...ger head that team owner Paul Allen will get. Oh well. But Seattle will sure be happy if they do win!!! They have the best dedicated bunch of fans anywhere I think in professional football for loudly proclaiming their love of the game and their intense interest in every play. Makes me remember how much fun high school games were with all the cheering!!!

Well we are in the top 4 for wettest Januarys on record. And with another bad storm on the way and heavy showers until it hits, I think we will be number 3 at least before end of month!!! The mountains are getting tons of snow, but some rain too with the yoyo freezing levels so high avalanche dangers in the Cascades. Even the dry (East) side of the state is getting plenty of rain/snow! The coast is getting drenched with rain much worse than us in the Willamette Valley, and high winds too on nearly every one of the storms. Slides of mud, snow, etc. all over the NW. Did I mention the river and s

Happy Belated Birthday Jsky! Sorry I am late!!! May you be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Pat God bless everyone

Hello hitest, What a lovely little girl you have there!!! Please give her a belated Happy Birthday hug from me. And another hug for your older daughter too, so she wont feel left out. May both your daughters be blessed with long lives filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity, and with smooth sailing throughout their lives. P.S. My hubby (62) has that same type bald spot, also a much higher forehead than when I met him over 35 years ago. Still no grey, and the curls are still there (yea!!!) if I can persuade him not to get his hair cut to short. Pat God bless everyone.

Liz, you always put things in a positive perspective. To respect and cherish each other and their opinions, is very much needed, here and everywhere. I thought maybe I'd add the link to the poll for those like me, who only go to View New Posts rather than main index. So here it is folks, vote your preference for or against the proposed new Politics and Religion section.

Hello everyone, I haven't been around for awhile, sorry about that. I was thinking about you all though. Between bad weather with some days with computer unplugged (some dry days are on the way this week), and a sore low back from doing some under the porch clean out of kindling wood for a neighbor last weekend, which kept me on the inactive list for awhile. Then started with a major problem with a Norton update that has my computer crashing/freezing etc that is driving me nuts with all the hard shut downs, and freezing problems rebooting.... now the Symantec automated assistant says it is pi

Happy Birthday to you both. Sorry I am late with this greeting. May you each be blessed with a long life filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity. Pat God bless everyone

Ah those were the good ole days when life was simple and we were content with a cottage home and a picket fence. Coming home from school to mom taking cookies fresh from the oven, ah those were the good ole days... even if only in our dreams!!! Pat God bless everyone.

I am so sorry that there are so many dogs sick and dying from this aflatoxin in the dog food. Actually I just found the website of the company, thanks to Google. Their Cat food also has a problem. The site has a map of U.S. showing which states have the problem food. And it lists the symptoms. Also all the various brand names of the problem Dog and Cat food. Be sure and read the Jan 12th press release on the left side of page. It appears to be from the corn in the food, which is what I suspected was doing it. This year's corn problem makes me wonder how safe any other brand of pet food is,
