Happy Birthday Macmarauder! Wherever you are! And hope you have a great day. Please check in, young man! Liz

I am so sorry to hear that, Chuck. But being a Mom, I KNOW she's not only at peace, but she will always be by your side, keeping watch over you and your family. God Bless You and your Family Love, Liz

Congratulations, Shane and Terrorist!!! *ahem* I can still misbehave, cant I? Liz

Joe, the kids' favorite restaurant is the Main Street Pub and there's a link to their menu. Needs Adobe to view it Liz

We had a record. If the count on the bags of candy is correct, 348 Goblins this year!!! Now, you have to consider that I DO live across the street from the elementary school, but this town only has 2000 residents!!!! Matt, we get infants, too--How dumb to take a baby out in the cold night air!!! One baby was hooked on a portable oxygen tank!! I make a point to buy dum-dum lollipops and make a point to announce that I have something the baby can have!! But this year I ran out of lollipops around 7:30 and was surprised at the baby goblins out that late....so those parents scored toot

Happy Halloween Birthday, Dan! Have a wonderful day! And what a fun day to have a birthday! Liz

Happy Birthday, Tootsdog! Hope you have a terrific day Liz

Happy Boo-Boo-Birthday, Bearskin! Hoping you have a wonderful day! Liz

SP3??? Nooooooooooooooo! *inhale* Noooooooooooo! SP2 was scary enough, please and thank you. But good to know that your fiddlin' around with SP3 determined it's easier than SP2. Thank you, Jsky Liz

"After a time I call them (the phone works fine) and am placed on hold for as long as I could take it, I gave up and hung up (they picked up my original call quickly)." This tells me that something is wonky with the phones in your neighborhood/city--many folks calling with the same complaint. I too, wouldn't bother calling the cops.....at least in this small town they're pretty worthless Liz

Hey, you can't beat Hand-Me-Downs from Mom and Dad! And welcome, Oddessy! You are in good hands with Brian. May Defiant have a good rest and supply many good parts or be donated to a good home. Liz

I always figured checking for multiple AVs was one troubleshooting trick to try if one's idiot box is acting up and hey, if turning one AV off works, great! Liz

Very relieved to hear you're OK, Marty! Thanks for checking in Liz

Brian, my kids have IE7 and I don't like it. Hoping automatic update for IE7 will be able to be unchecked if using "Custom Install". Really don't want it forced on us Liz

Hi Maria and welcome to besttechies! Wow, all the way in Russia, glad to have you here. Make yourself at home and hope to hear a lot more from you Liz

Happy Birthday, Aron! Have a wonderful day, drive carefully and I love you You are TOO old to be my child...... Mom

Dingdingdingding! ding? The cheaper one is the "student and teacher version" and the best part is that one can use it on 3 machines! Learned this when Daughter's exboyfriend bought this and shared it with her. Seems he needed to prove he was a student with his College ID to buy it, though. At least she got *something good* from that bum Liz

Happy Birthday, Michael! Hope you have a wonderful day Liz

OK, a question.....If someone has an idea for an "invention" but doesn't want to or have the knowledge/money to invent/patent/build the idea, can said person post the idea in hopes that someone ELSE runs with it? Coming from someone who cut up and sewed velcro on the kids' training pants 20 years before Huggies Pullups came up with that idea (thus avoiding poop being dragged down to the ankles when theres an accident!) and wished someone would invent a canister vacuum with an attached hose long before someone actually invented them...... I'm always coming up with "I just wish someone would in

*Bighugs* and you have been missed, my friend. And if you want to vent, we're here for you Thanks for checking in! Love, Liz

Happy Birthday, JSBowen! Have a terrific day Liz

Happy Birthday, Mandy! Hope you have a wonderful day and make sure Jeff spoils you rotten Liz

Yup, Sultan, that is the reason I've never bought an Ebay item, though I use the site for researching items and prices (still looking for a "guess value" on my antique tea set, just curious as to what it's worth!). I don't think this gal meant any harm since her opening bid was $1 and she hasn't had any bids yet. And yes, I do wonder what happened to the other $20,000 with the guy they busted?? But nice to know some scammers are getting caught! Liz

Ohhhh, I'm gonna remember the remote control one :D Liz
