Would you believe that Daughter's Dell didn't come with a manual? (purchased January 2006) I ALWAYS read manuals, boy did that tick me off! Liz

Hi Brandon! Daughter also recently got a new Dell with no disks---I was told that you can call Dell and insist they send you the operating disks (I keep forgetting to have Daughter bring home her invoice from college so we can do that, too!) *if you do call Dell, give me the scoop on your luck, Daughter HAS to bring her invoice home the end of April, school is done, then! * Liz

Happy Birthday, CTS and to my Hubby, too! Have a terrific day! Liz

Yup, Fall and Autumn are the same (Fall is easier to spell ) Liz

"The research also showed that people were so busy that one in 10 people admitted to wandering off and leaving the caller talking to themselves." LOL, oh how I've been tempted to do that when my "nut with a walker" calls.....she probably wouldn't know the difference! Marty, it must be Fall in NZ, put a sweater on, young man, you're making me cold just thinking of you chatting with the blinds down Liz

Yeah, but an occasional lapse of common sense makes for much more amusing stories Liz

*ahemmmmm* a size 0 and a D cup? Methinks she had work done on something other than her toe (and amazed she can stand up without falling over)! Still a shame that body image is so important nowadays. Give her a cheeseburger and give the meaty girls a chance! Talent doesn't know how much one weighs! I hope she wins! Liz

How did I miss that, Matt? I was even blabbing in that thread...ohhhh, checked date, yup, right before Christmas, ok could'a missed it . Thank you for finding that and thanks again, Dragon! Well, methinks it may be time for a change once this subscription is up And Goman, thanks for letting me butt into your thread *hugs* Liz

Thanks, Marty, and keep 'em coming, folks, she won't be online to look at the link to this thread till next week (she's on vacation) Liz

That's great.... Thanks, Handplane! Liz

Thank you, Dragon! Again, even though Mcafee hasn't slowed me down at all (we also don't do "labor intensive things") , I'm always reading that it's a "hog". YOUR post was the first I've ever read how and why it's a hog! I learn something every day from you folks! Does Kerio automatically update? (I like that feature!) Liz

I had written a post, went back, and noticed the post said "solved", just curious, how did you solve it, Mainter? Thanks Liz

Thank you very much! I'm sending her a link to this Liz

I can't send it for a while....I'm still laughing! (wasn't it men who invented the "five second rule"?) Liz

Not a pointless post, Honda Boy! I learned from it! Now, Goman (by the way, *hi!*, long time no see) IF you want to go "free with rebate route", Mcafee is listed on page 4 here. Lots of folks say Mcafee is a resource hog, but I haven't seen that....and I love the way it auto-updates-install and "foget-about-it" free after rebate (kudos to Barb) Liz

Asking for SisterSue--- Her IE keeps changing text size all by itself--she goes to "view/text size/medium", works for a while, then it changes itself to "largest size"...?... Anyone know of a fix to keep the text the size she sets it to? It's a Dell Laptop, XP, probably "top of the line", dial up, I think...(remote area) Thanks in advance (I keep convincing her to sign up here. Thanks to you folks, I've already managed to answer some of her questions just from reading the great advice here....she thinks I'm a geek but I always credit this place for the tiny bit I've gleaned...y'all KNOW I'm no

Hip-Hip-Hooray! *jumps for joy and does a little happy dance* Good possibility that Son might need a computer for college in the fall--and I was hoping we could stick with XP! After reading about the hardware requirements for Vista, we didn't want to spend a ton of money. Best news I've heard all day! Thank you, Handplane! Liz

I am laughing my head off, Dragon...that is hilarious! Especially the Cop's response! Liz

Even though having two in college and our tax info being looked at by several agencies for financial aid, that is infurating! Again, I know our info is free game once we apply for financial aid, but the identity theft idea is scary. Yup, kickbacks, I'm betting Liz

Here's a new perspective, Pat. A British friend of mine, who is a Pastor's wife and a Missionary's Daughter throws that word around casually when referring to horse manure--in England, it just means "poop", nothing else! She has raised some eyebrows when discussing gardening with the "church ladies" Liz

Brian, you are going to be a wonderful father someday if you keep that attitude! Kids NEED limits, they NEED to be told "no" (And I learned that in a Child Psychology Class long ago). I remember once when Daughter and the Pastor's Daughter were playing in the Church while the Pastor was working in the office. They were roughhousing in the Sanctuary, the Pastor caught them, and gave them each a swat on the be-hind because they could have broken something or hurt themselves. Oh, how the "church ladies" squaked, "Spanking in the Sanctuary! Horrors!". Well, of course, I whole-heartedly suppor

Whoa, Terrorist! Trying to imagine what smelled worse, the burnt corn or the microwave frying...I imagine the combination of smells was pretty icky Liz

Oh, how true! When Son was around two years old, he started using that word occasionally Hubby asked, "Do you even know what that word means?" He answered, "well, yes, that's what you say when you drop or break something" I had to start watching my mouth after that......(I'm clumsy) He did replace it with "S-Word!" (and "Holy S-Word!" when he was excited about something), which gave his preschool teacher fits of laughter. And I'm sending him this! Thanks, Flash! Liz

Oh, Flash, I think "Spin the bottle" has survived the ages.... (you are so naughty!) And what a good excuse to say "I lost my marbles" and folks don't think you're crazy! Marty, my son has a Super Nintendo--he has had so many offers for folks wanting to buy it. Nope, he won't sell it, he likes the classic cartoony look. And NOW he appreciates me unplugging and putting the controllers on top of the fridge when he threw them when losing a game, because it still works. Liz

I READ that, Marty.....Geez-oh-Pete! I love the way you post, I always know it's you And it looks poetic. Don't change a thing! Liz
