    new computer is not working at all today. Dell gave us a hard time about exchanging for a new system ( after their CS authorized it over the weekend) and want us to "fix" this one. no, not happening. not sure we will deal with this company again. this was a problem from day one and we...

    its apparently the wireless card that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. it's a desktop all-in-one. I think they will not want it back but I will use it (when it works) until a replacement is here. sometimes its fine, but if its been on a few hours it suddenly stops working...

    The WORST! part of what's driving the BP issues are.... being worried about BP issues. I have no idea how long it takes to schedule a MRI.. as long as its negative it will settle things down. much of this is stress driven. it's possible there is something else going on. that unknown is...

    We could have gone to a close by walk in clinic. DH said he knew they would not hesitate and would have sent him to the hospital in an ambulance. better to drive yourself. its not far. maybe 20-25 miles. nothing complicated. they have a huge complex ER and to keep their level 1...

    We had another problem but this time with Dell updates that made the system balk and not work. DH called their support line and it got ironed out quickly but of course I got blamed for making it " not work" . its a standing joke that my mere presence in the room causes electronics to fail...

    Im surprised that everyone in sight wasn't sued, including the manufacturer of the pool. apartment building owner. etc. I missed the story in the NYT. that's crazy about the kid walking. I had to walk everywhere or I couldn't go. some places my mother walked with me a few times...

    cathy you are right about the damage here. the mountains form a barrier to wind in both directions. wind from the east rather than the west zooms down thru the passes and gaps. like a giant suction machine. opposite direction from usual where winds come from the west. this was a...

    yesterday I did a spin for 35 min and half of stacked upper body and therapy. today I did a 90 minute park walk. the storm last night was impressive. we came thru without any damage. the power flickered several (many) times. we were sure it was going out but it didnt. it was windy, very...

    Yes class sizes were pretty overwhelming in the 50's. at least 30 kids per class. those poor teachers! kids were more disciplined than they are today so it worked out. we used to have 4 shifts using the cafeteria, each a half an hour long. lines in bathrooms etc. that is so true about...

    my mother was weird about so many things. cathy, they always had us come to front of the room and sit around the teacher in a semi circle. we all sat cross legged. we girls all wore white ankle sox. they probably did get dirty but really. what a silly thing to get riled about. we had 30-39...

    what can I say? I can sit cross legged but my knees are high. my mother used to complain when I was a kid because all the floor sitting in school got my socks dirty! after 10-15 yrs of yoga knees are just as high. never changed even a little. I've seen new, first time people show up...

    DH has an aggressive approach to these things I used to set up the new computer but he does it now because he does it "better" . I used to get it done fine but thats not ok anymore. so he can have the unpleasant job. he's convinced everything I touch turns into electronic spaghetti ...

    shannon, It will get everyone's attention if the gulf stream shuts down. its what gives Europe its mild predictable climate. there are regular global circulation patterns that govern climate and fish. if sea levels rise a few more feet which they will do and are doing already, most...
