    This is the STRANGEST thing--ever happened to you?

    I made up this stew in a crock pot. Everyone was eating eat and loving it. My wife said I must have paid a fortune for the meat because it was so tender and fat free. Then I had to tell them they were eating a moose. I did the same thing with lasagne a year before. They all wanted to...

    Rubber flooring?

    This suggestion is to make the mats less slippy. In the carpet section of Home Depot they have grip runners for throw carpets. You put them between the mats and your step. I use one for my router table in my workshop, a 3 horsepower router can't make the thing slip.

    how do you deal with someone when they make you

    When I was growing up, my dad was involved in my Scout troop. He would admonish bad behavior in others and try to educate the boys in that small amount of time. Others would say that I was getting off the hook or treated differently. I got to hear about it on the ride home and then over the...

    Computer question from a computer moron.......

    Not that I'm a supporter of Bill Gates but if you use the cd from your laptop to update the work computer you have exceeded the copyright. Windows XP also requires validation after install. Usually by connecting to MS through the net or calling a tollfree line. I would splurge on a new...

    Computer Help Question

    Outlook express connection --- my best guess is if someone else's is working you'll need to copy all of their settings, I use a piece of paper and write them down. Windows is notoriously unfriendly trying to copy settings or registry items from one computer to another. Access---Have you tried...

    Computer Help Question

    Annette, #1 no clue, I think outlook express is junk and wouldn't use it. Try Mozilla's Thunderbird, it's made by the same people that make Firefox. #2 I think the problem might be in the data entry. Is it possible to type the whole year instead of the 2 digit substitute. I tried to...

    Janie, Consider getting your email from yahoo or google's gmail. I've had to change internet service providers a number of times and know what a pain it is to let everyone know your new email address. If you change now to yahoo or gmail you can keep the same address even if you change ISPs...
