Copy and paste from Son's email "Hey, I'm going through my "add-remove programs" list, and there's a lot of things that I either never use, would never want to use, or are just plain annoying. So I'm wondering if you could ask your besttechie's and ask them if I can delete the following: Classic Phone Tools Dell Support Dell Support 5.0.0 (766) Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Standard 2003 Microsoft Money 2003 Microsoft Money 2003 System Pack Microsoft Streets and Trips 2002 Modem Helper And two things recently appeared on my computer, and I don't believe I need either one of them, nor do I r

Augghhhh, the memories! Grew up in a family with 5 daughters and at one point us 5 girls were ages 13-18. Heard my Dad say each one of those! When my Daughter brings boys home, I try to hide Hubby in the closet Liz

Smells like April Fools? Liz

:D Mark, that's as close to the check as my Hubby gets, too! :D Liz

Del Monte Recall Many brands of Jerky Treats. Codes and expiration dates are printed on the bottom of the packets. And guess what Sandydog gets daily? AND to top it off, her "Tender Chops" Dog food is made by Delmonte as well. So far, so good on the codes on HER treats (she prefers Wavy Bacon) , but sure could use some finger crossing as I'm sure they'll expand the list. She's acting fine but I'm calling the Vet tomorrow Liz

Ah, thank goodness Son was too lazy to empty out the Favorites in my old idiot box! free after rebate And Kudos to Barb for giving it to me so long ago! Liz

Pat, I'd love the recipes for oats, as long as they don't taste like hot oatmeal (I never liked it, even with raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, what-have-you!) This time of year, potatoes are expensive and don't keep well. Always looking for an alternative "filler" besides rice or noodles to go with the meat and vegetables! Oh!! One habit that I brought home from Denmark---the Danes sprinkle uncooked oats and cinnamon over their cold cereal (they mix cinnamon and oats and have a jar on the table!) and it is really, really good! Gives a little extra kick to ordinary cereal and of course it's

Read it to Hubby and he LOVED it! Liz

On the first day, God created the dog and said: Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog

Happy Birthday, Jim! And have a terrific day! Liz

LOL, Pat, I like dandelions, too Nothing prettier than a whole yard peppered with them! AND clover means the soil is sweet, according to my former Elderly Neighbor (and bunnies love it and they prefer clover over most plants, carrot tops excluded) My meatloaf recipe is pretty simple and I admit, I don't measure anything...instead of bread crumbs I use Quick Oatmeal (the chopped stuff). Figuring oats are better for you than breadcrumbs. And I add a hefty handful of parmesan cheese, along with onion, eggs, pepper and burger. That's it Dandelion Flower Wine (I had it years ago, which is wh

Again, our Hubbies sound like two peas in a pod, Pat! But you know, sometimes they just don't think!!! I know it's hard to shrug things off, but you can't blame yourself! Slam a couple cupboard doors and pull some weeds Gotta scoot, Son's coming home from school tonight to pick up his car that we had serviced on Monday. Meatloaf, carrots and mashed potatoes for dinner. The kids sure have learned to appreciate home cooked meals! Of course, Daughter called, asked what I was making for dinner and asked if I could send the leftovers back with Son They'll have to arm wrestle Hubby for t

Now if they can do that with coffee and beer..... Liz

Great news, Handplane! Oh, someone else had this procedure done who has young Granddaughters. He had to get what he called "bulletproof undies" to wear when he played with the Grandkids. For some reason that I don't remember, the seeds are "bad" for young girls to be around. Has you Doc mentioned anything about that? Now, you take care of yourself! Liz

Oh, Good Grief, Pat! Just reading about your month made me dizzy! Wow and *bighugs* Made my throat lumpy reading about the German Shephard Hero giving his life to his owner but had a good laugh over the Hubby who "felt like he was hit by a truck"....literally! Hoping he has a full recovery so his wife can beat him over the head! Sorry to hear the Jobnibble didn't pan out for Hubby. How's it going with him underfoot?? At least it sounds like he is keeping REAL busy, which you and I know is a good thing Hoping he isn't driving you crazy (* and dreading the day my Hubby retires....I've

Handplane, you are absolutely in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you a speedy, EASY recovery. Take care and follow the doctors orders, young man! Love, Liz

Experts--any chance that this message is coming up because it's living in System Restore? Perhaps the ol' "turn off System Restore/uninstall printer/reinstall printer/turn on System Restore trick" could get rid of the message?? **Spiritoo, do NOT go ahead and do this, I'm guessing here!!....wait for the experts advice!** And do let them know whether the printer is on or off when you get this message Liz

Oh, wow!!! I always wondered if these critters ever got tangled up during rutting season! Thank God for these folks who came to the rescue Great story, great photos and thanks, Marty Liz

As a Mother of a Percussionist: Percussionists (especially those who only drum and refuse to learn to read music in order to play a Xylophone, keyboard, etc) 1. Are eccentric (they DO follow the beat of their own drum!) 2. Don't pay attention (which means "watch the conductor??, why?? The band should follow US, afterall, WE are in charge of the beat...") 3. Are the Goof-Offs of the Band...aww, heck, they're total goof-offs ....And Brass (trombones, etc) aren't too far behind the percussionists in these qualities! But Percussionists and Brass make a band FUN! Sigh....my son's triple doomed--h

Yeeee-up, y'betcha! :D Liz

Copy, paste and email to Sis in.....Kentucky! Thanks, Jim! Liz

Thank you Joe and Papa for that info! And, phew! Sandydog is safe as far as her food goes! *Hugs Sandy* and feels happy that we didn't spoil her enough to feed her the canned stuff (its just too expensive!) Marty, from what I've heard, I think it was just a bad batch, but oh, boy, what a BIG batch it was, so many brands! Can't imagine anyone so evil to intentionally cause an innocent dog harm. Liz

You need to edit your post to say sink is single "bowl", not "bowel" :D And I sure know what you mean by appreciating a HOT shower! When I was growing up, whenever the power went out (which is a LOT in Windy West Michigan!) we lost water, too, because we had a pump, not city water. Can't count how many times I had to go to school early so I could shower in the icky lockerroom! Hot running water is the best invention yet! Love having citywater and gas water heater since I made Hubby move into town! Now if the lights go out, so what, we have candles for light and I can still have a HOT sho

Nice door Seriously, fantastic news, Brian! Good luck with the move Liz

Thank you, Barb! Of course, being a female, finding telephone numbers is easier for us Now, deciphering the MS/Honduras Site was a little challenging, its been many years since I took Spanish. Now, hoping Vagrant called MS and got the fix! (No news is good news, right? ) Liz
