  6. (welcome in different) Languages btw, thanks! communication dialogue discussion Brian
  7. Thanks Jeff: I got one of those PM's, but you must have removed it and the offending user yesterday when you either saw it happen yourself, or had it reported to you! Good Job - Keep up the good work!!! Brian
  8. Me?? Pop Wheelies? Burn Rubber??? NEVER!! Brian
  9. Thanks JDoors Yes, these chairs seem to get better with time - first chair I owned was a Everst and Jennings Premier in like 1975-76. My current chair is a 2000 Q2, and will be exact in the respect of the mag wheels and crutch holder, and I will get the mags STOCK - so I am happy - I have to check to see what version (M14's or M15's) of the Emotions I will get, but looks like I am golden either way - I think the M15's have a longer battery life and can go 16 MILES on a charge - The script did NOT specify the type, but I can check on that With Luck - I will have her by My Birthday - May 8t
  10. Good Morning Everyone: Edited this post to add the link for the Geeks to Go! Discussions ~ Brian 05/29/09 Geeks to Go: New Wheels/New Chair - May 26th (LINK) Well, Its official - After working through the system, dealing with paperwork and some days when my arms and shoulders felt like they were about to fall off, I am happy to announce that on April 11, 2009, I got my approval documents for my new Quickie2 lightweight manual wheelchair!! This has been a LONG time coming, since I was experiencing left shoulder pain for 3 years, and it probably dates back to my stint when my apartment was be

    I'm Upset

    Hitest: I also send you my best wishes for your Dad's speedy recovery - Listening to advice can be hard sometimes, if you have been acustomed to doing things a certain way, and you get into a "rut" thinking your's is the best way to do something. I went to the doctors myself on Monday, and I am going to try to eat better and exercise more, and will have my left shoulder checked again on may 4 - I don't want to lose the ability to walk, and I need my shoulders to balance my body correctly I will pray for you and your family Brian
  13. Matt: Good advice!! NO ONE should click links sent to them without knowing what they are, and even if they know what they are, and who they come from, care should be taken as you view them. Links can look legit but with all the scamming going on out there, you can't be too careful. I got a nasty piece of malware once, because I thought that a codec install was needed, and it turned into a mess, which rock fixed for me Good Luck and be careful my friends Brian
  14. I had a drive in my older HP that started making sounds like whirring, and it sounded almost like whistling sometimes when it spun up - I actually experienced a hardware failure a month or so later, due to the motherboard dying. The drive that was in that machine was transplanted to my backup windows machine, and sometimes I can hear the noises of the drives spinning, and I think that sometimes this happens with age. I would think that if you hear a strange sounding wizzing sound then you would want to check the health of the drive - I've seen a drive burn up once, and I can tell you from ex
  15. I thought this would be an interesting read I just recently became an AT&T customer myself, but I find that this phone is EXPENSIVE, as is the monthly rate of $80.00 just for service ;( AT&T to start selling IPhones Without Contract Brian
  16. Jimras: Be advised that the Windows Media Player may NOT have the Media Player codecs for the playing of DVD's, and if that is the case, you should (and already have) download VLC player - I used it on one of our laptops to watch DVD's (Vista Business OS) and it worked fine Brian
  17. Mandy: Unfortunately, when I clicked the VOTE link I got this: If I could have voted, I DEFINATELY would voted for you - I musta gotten to this post too late. However, very NICE picture -Liked it alot Let us know if you win Good Luck!! Brian
  18. Jeff: That was FAST - no problems here on my end to report Brian

    Friends

    Marty: That is what family and friends are for - I have learned that there are two types of "family" - Real Life/Extended, and Online - When someone is in trouble or having difficulty, it is always a comfort to have those who are closest to you whether directly or indirectly know of your trouble, because they are a part of a team, and can give you support. I wish you all the best, and it sounds like your doctor knows what he is talking about - Take the advice given and run with it, and make sure to tell the doc about any changes as you take this medication Take Care Brian
  20. My prayers and well wishes go with you Marty - Good Luck Brian
  21. My first thing I have to do in the morning will be either to drink some water, or use my Inhaler for my asthma!! I swear that there are days when I will wake up and be coughing so hard, I feel like I am about to drop a lung or cough so much it either makes my chest hurt or make myself feel sick to my stomach!! Thanks to the inhaler, it takes care of that really well, so I don't have to worry too much about that Brian
  22. Me either JDoors - However, figured it would be a newsworthy item for those who may avail themselves of the opportunity. Brian
  23. I found this online yesterday, and remembered that Jeff and others had mostlikely bought some gear from CC: This article is CC's warning, although I would question the statement that they cannot open products to check to see if they are broken before buying them. According to them, I have heard that someone bought a $1,500 Flat Screen HD TV Only to find when they got it home and opened it up that it had a smashed screen - BE CAREFUL!! LINK (Yahoo Tech) Brian
  24. Mark: Welcome to BT's - we have a very diverse group of people here, and I am sure that you will fit in nicely Brian
