  1. Homework

    in Open Chat

    Posted · Edited by Suzanne

    ~ Hi,

    It must be really frustrating for him to be so bombarded with extra homework.

    Fortunately for him he has a terrific, caring older brother looking out for him! 

    My grandson has been using myHomework Student Planner .

    He says he likes it and it helps him stay on tract. I'm sure there are many other options out there for your brother, but this one

    has our vote for its usefulness and productivity level assist. 

    ~ Please wish him our best and I hope his workload lets up somewhat - for both your sakes! :)

    ~ What a lovely tribute you give each year to Sultan on the memorial of his passing, sethook.

    He truly had a wonderful and loyal friend in you.

    RIP Sultan, and my very best wishes to you, sethook.

  8. Where are you ?

    Hi everyone!

    ~ It's certainly been a long time since I've checked in here, but I recently became nostalgic about who

    might be still around and thought I'd just stop by and say "hello"!  :)

     

    Oh, I'm not sure it shows up yet, but I've replaced my signature "rose" avatar with an actual

    photo of myself in case you didn't recognize me from either my name or avatar. 

    Anyway, I've thought about many of you and I truly hope you're all doing well!  :)

    ~ A friend called and said while she was online yesterday her keyboard and mouse stopped working.

    She rebooted and after the bios setup, there on the screen, along with press F1 to (whatever) it said "no keyboard" (mouse wasn't mentioned).

    She checked the back and inside for loose connections and cleaned out the small amout of dust ...she is now at a loss as to what she should do next.

    I'm sorry, but I don't know anything else about her computer.

    I know that it's difficult to offer suggestions with such minimal information, but if anyone has any ideas they will truly be appreciated.

    Thank you.

  14. Hotels Online

    in Open Chat

    ~ I've always used Expedia and occasionally Travelocity and Orbitz

    If you're going to use an online booking service rather than a travel agent then using a well known one affords you a measure of security when dealing with any potential problems that may arise, because it helps stack the odds in your favor that should something go wrong it will get favorably resolved.

    (So far I've never had a problem, but last summer my son and his family arrived at their vacation destination tired from their trip, only to discover a problem with the accommodations, (hotels mistake). He called the Expedia #800 and the problem was resolved with a free accommodation upgrade.)

    Here's where you also need to do your homework. They're all offering to book you at the same hotels (or on the same airlines), but at differing rates, (often the differences are insignificant) depending on the deals they happen to have with them.

    So you need to do some comparison shopping. Notice too, that the rates offered to you can change from day to day or if you're flying, differing rates for different days of the week.

    I know it sounds annoying, but I also know that I sure have a better time knowing that I got the best possible deal!

  21. What's Your Weather

    ~ It's been unseasonably warm here all winter, and it's predicted to get to 50F here in the Poconos today as well... it was nearly 50 yesterday, so it most likely will.

    I love mornings at home, and mornings like this when I can open windows and let in the cool, (okay cold, it's only 38F presently, but I've always loved it colder) fresh air while I'm cleaning (and let out the stale roasted air) are just delightful to me.
