  1. Heh-heh, funny stuff, bearskin:-)
  2. Power Boys..........that was a novel set I read as a boy, it got me into reading.
  3. Oh man, shanenin, now you've made me hungry for Japanese food. I haven't been to a Japanese restaurant in years. The food looks delicious. Great picture of your kid, shanenin:-)
  4. I installed all available updates on my one windows partition a few days ago. Man, I'm glad it didn't go south:-)
  5. FreeBSD 6.2, KDE 3.5.4. The ports collection has complete, updated software; I'm running FF 2.0.0.2, TBird 1.5.0.10, Seamonkey1.1.1, etc.
  6. Yep, I fully expect my taxes to go up as a result of my renovations.
  7. Thanks, my friend! Yes, my house is now rock solid, structurally sound, and it looks better. On a positive note the value of my house increased by $68,000 after the renovations so something good has come out of this situation. My wife and I re-structured our finances and we're doing fine. We'll have this paid off in 5-10 years.
  8. Hyperventilating helped me to calm down at the time, it was a big surprise when I saw the estimate, marty:-)
  9. Heh, You want to hear about money issues? I had a very large retaining wall on the side of my property, about 150 feet long and 7 feet high in places. This wall held up my two story house. Over a 26 year period the wall started to sag to the point that my house was in danger of structural failure. So I hired the premiere construction company in town to replace the wall. They removed the old wooden wall and replaced it with a steel re-enforced concrete wall, (they hammered 22 steel piles down to bedrock). They also replaced my carport, porch, and driveway. It looks great, but, it cost me
  10. Happy Birthday, Kat:-)

    Taxes...

    Great post, bozodog:-) My wife and I both work full time so we can put food on the table, and pay our @#*$ing taxes:-)
  12. bad ram? Joe makes a great point, marty! A bad stick of RAM can wreak havoc on your system and cause it to become unstable and crash in weird, unpredictable ways. I've had bad RAM on a few occasions and it drove me crazy. Good luck with diagnosing your problem, marty:-) Perhaps you should test your RAM to ensure it is okay. RAM can fail.
