Oh yeah!!! Enough said, there it is in black in white! (Ohhh, how I stink at math) Liz

Hi Aron! Manda's idiotbox is still under warranty, right? You monkeying around trying to fix it might void the warranty, best bet might be to call wherever she bought it from and ask--NOW if the experts here think Aron's solution won't further break the machine voiding warranties, chime in! Mom

Awesome tips, Marty! Some I knew, most were new! thanks! To add to the newspaper tip-- I've used folded up newspapers under my rock or brick borders in my flowerbeds for years--keeps the grass from growing through between the rocks or bricks and after a couple rains, the paper isn't noticable (heck, even if it is, it's serving a purpose) DO make sure you use only the black and white printed newpaper--colored glossy paper ads may contain chemicals that could be bad for the soil, MOST black and white newprint is printed with safe Soy Ink. AND y'know those pesky Credit Card offers that you're af

Hiya Brian and good to see that you're just plain busy and sometimes Besttechieless. Glad you checked in. We've missed you! Liz

Testing 1,2,3, you came through loud and clear, Kors and welcome to Besttechies! Dive in and run amuck with us, glad to have you join us Liz

Oh, wow! Tech amazes me (how do they do that??) And now, I was an Art Major in College, so such things do not bother me, but in my opinion, there was nothing vulgur! Liz

Agreed with Nancy, thank you Terrorist and Chappy for your support of the MS gadget! Your thumbsup means a LOT! Is it still Beta? (yeah, I know, I know.....but beta scares me!) Everytime I get a MS Automatic Update I check here, so please keep Nancy and me posted on any quirks!! Liz

Copy, Paste, Email to my married friends and thanks, Chappy! Liz

LOL, Deafgirl! Bringing back rather horrid memories of the pregnancies (which is like PMSsing during a Full Moon...) Oh, poor Hubby. He tried soooo hard to be sympathetic when I was bawling my eyes out for no reason at all (and I'm normally very cheerful!), he would hug me and say, "it's only the hormones, honey" Wrong answer, wrong answer, wrong answer!!! There's a real good reason why we stopped at two and it wasn't labor! Liz

Ooops, Nancy! Some people love the MS Malware Remover....but a few folks have had trouble with it and just those few bad reports make me chicken. For a long time it was Beta, which is scary and I stay away from anything Beta. Experts--is it still Beta?. Guess it's a coin flip. I personally figure that since I have Spybot, Adaware and SpywareBlaster (love that!) and I "try" to be careful, I'm skipping the MS Gadget. Glad everything's working right and I LOVE feedback from Updates! Thanks so much, Nancy! They still scare me after having to do a System Restore once after installing a misb

Glad you only got a "wee shiver", Marty and so happy you're OK! We had an earthquake once here (it was only 2.something) but what an odd feeling, what and odd noise! Liz

Actually chocolate cake from scratch with peanut butter frosting, Mike Good to see you!! Liz

Hi Nancy! I got my updates delivered last night (seems it takes a while for them to get up here!) I got 5 critical updates and the Malicious Software thingy (I don't trust the malicious software thing enough to install that one, yet). Asked for a restart afterwards, but all is well. Didn't take long at all to install, either (I usually get a cup of coffee while they install and it was done by the time I made the pot!). They must have been little bitty updates. Liz

Happy Birthday, Didom! Have a great day! Liz

Playboy magazine comes in Braille? Liz

That's why I LOVE reading comments to jokes, they're as funny as the joke! Oh, for the joke, too, thanks, Marty and Deafgirl. You two made me laugh out loud! Liz

Happy Birthday, Aron! I love you and miss you. BEHAVE, drive carefully and do your homework!! Much love, Mom (*he's off at school but is supposed to be home on Sunday, I'll be sure he sees this, thanks y'all! ) Liz

I got a great laugh out of your experience with the little kids, Sin! Especially about the "better than pink" comeback. You go, Goth-Girl! You can teach them so much about tolerance, especially since you and I know that a Goth look is nothing to be feared. The Gothkids I know are so talented, creative, kind and a breath of fresh air compared to "preppy Barbiegirls". I went to Artschool and the "unusual people" (OK, Hippies and latent Beatniks) were the best folks to have as friends! It's a darned shame so many people were afraid of them, their loss! I voted for the gangbangers because th

me too, Now, clap your hands to make sure you keep your bass Liz

Aren't there some viruses that can "break" system restore? And Heydc, yes, do what the experts tell you to do and report exactly what's happening when you try to restore! They'll fix you right up once they know how it's misbehaving! Liz

Seeing as the weather is going to pot up here, I'm so jealous, Tenmm!! Beautiful! We have hills and sand dunes up here, but no mountains! My Sister and Brother In Law live in Chandler, AZ (near Phoenix) and they LOVE to visit Tombstone!! It's their favorite place. Liz

Marty, I laughed and laughed and laughed! What true words of wisdom! ""Don't what? " Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said. "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit ? Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit ! " " Of course it was the BOY who got things going....Sure sounds like a boy (a dare? Oh goodie, a dare!)! As much as my son is a joy to my life, I've often slapped my forehead and asked myself, "why, oh why couldn't you have been a girl?" I'm still chuckling, thanks, Marty Liz

Well, Chappy and Staff, thank YOU for not deeming this thread too political (I was worried!) and thanks to you and Jdoors for the description of the photo--I know you probably pondered over that, but at least now folks will have a written description, so they can at least imagine what this thread is about. The thing with 18 year old drinking limit is that too many 15 year olds know 18 year olds that can buy for them....with a 21 year old drinking limit, not very many 15 year olds will be able to talk a 21 year old into buying for them. (Voice of experience here!) Sure, a lot of 18 year olds

Exactly what Hondaboy said. Go to the Courthouse and request a State Birth Certificate (not the footprint one you got from the hospital) If I remember right, that is what I did when the kids were tiny and needed a SS number for income taxes. Good luck! WE know you exist! Liz
