    You bet Blim... He's real good at a lot of other things though. A few weeks ago I came home from work and he was stringing a clothes line. (ruh ro, I thought, he's gonna want me to start hanging outside) But no... he has taken over doing *and* putting away the laundry. I calls him Mr. Mop.

    Tenmm, that's the way they work... Needs the testosterone to run properly.

    Robroy, he's like a kid in a candy shop. I have many, many years collection of tools. I've become his "tool handler" (except with the small engines, he can't seem to get or keep them running) But all other projects are skillfully completed. He is such a go-getter, chomp-at-the-bit, self starter he makes my head spin. I need only to mention a project that needs doing and he's right there.

    A while back we bought a small chest freezer at a yard sale so we could take advantage of good deals on frozen veggies, breads, and buy meat in bulk. To avoid putting it in the spider filled, dank basement, fit only for the power box, furnace, and water heater, we decided to put it on the front porch. Of course we had to run power out there. (and of course I kept putting it off) Thursday I get home from work and he has the tools lined up, asking where in my inventory is the wire, boxes, and recepticles are. *SIGH* Much blood, sweat, and beers later. (and 10 trips to the basement from hell) We are now making ice and starting to fill it up with food. But, wait a minute! "while we're at this" he says... Why don't we add that other oulet in the office to the dedicated "computer breaker" and put one on the other side of the porch so we can have a light and radio while we're in our rockers enjoying the view? *SIIIIGH!*

  2. Why Computers Sometimes Crash!

    (Read this to yourself aloud - it's great!)

    If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

    If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

    If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

    And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

    When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

    Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?

    A Chevy going 100? Down a LONG hill right?
    You bet Bubba Bob, a '94 GMC safari at that! With 190K on the odometer. And I think it must be a bit uphill, because we were eastbound from lake Michigan, inland. But then I wouldn't knock Fords... My dad was a test driver for Ford and he always said don't bite the hand that feeds you. So I drove Fords for many years. Switched to Chevys in the 70's bacause they looked better. Drove the wheels off a Toyota over 200K, and have had two dodge minivans. Being an owner of a 120 pound, 38" tall, Great Dane, I have to have a van. She just don't fit in anything else. (she hated my Toyota, and refused to ride in it after the first day of errands)

    BTW Blim, the Geo is very much like a Toyota Tercell. They share many of the same parts.

    "forum junkie" That's me. I spend time on about 5-6 and when bored, up to 12... Who the hell cares about post count? I just love spending time interacting with all the great folks I find on the net. If I can help, I do. If not I usually learn sumthin'.

    BTW, (hope this ain't spamming) southernlady?

    is a great place to visit, kinda a whole forum of Besttechie Chat.

    Dang! My Brit did that to me shortly after he moved in.. I *hated* it! Too much time spent just reorganizing. (think I still have stuff I wanted but can't remember... ) Must admit though, I am better organized, just have to tackle the pics file. Ewwww!

    i'm not going to sell it. biggrin.gif when it's finished i'm going to distribute it for free through the internet. i'd like to see a professional writer try this challenge.

    Someone beat you to it Mac. I have a CD with 13 novels by David Weber. The Honor Harrington series. It came in his last book with the offer to copy it, which I got from the library.

    *sending lightening and thunder boomers Macs way, so he can charge up the little bots...* And himself... BTW... I noted one one of my google searches that nitris oxide is also in catnip essential oil. ;)

    Lady bugs are the greatest! I came home from work one afternoon and saw aphids all over my tomatoe plants. Uh oh... time for a sudsy spray down, tomorrow. Heh heh, the next day the lady bugs had a BBQ party.... no aphids. And no damage to the plants. (I think my cat keeps the praying mantis away. Lots of meat there) There is also a resident toad that does a fine job of pest removal.
