morning, boedicca

 

[Ava]

Good morning.

Thanks Jake and good morning to you and all who are here, this morning.

My new Toshiba Chromebook arrived yesterday.

How is your weather in beautiful Salt Lake City and surrounding areas? I loved living there for two years.

Rainy and 50's today and for the next few. Nice mild temps. Was out in it all at 5:30 this morning...

 

[Sarah G]

Good morning everybody. Enjoying first cup of coffee. Life is good on a late April Thursday. Blessings and good vibes for a good day for all.

Have a great day, Foxy.

 

[boedicca]

Oh Goody. I just found out that there was a shooting one block from my office early this am.

 

[BDBoop]

Oh Goody. I just found out that there was a shooting one block from my office early this am.

Well, bleep.

Now, Ollie, Fyrefox and Ernie (oh, and yeah, Pogo!), if those computers are still causing you trouble, here's this good old standby for you:

Here's my fall back.

I'm still trying to figure out where to plug in the USB.

Good morning everybody. Enjoying first cup of coffee. Life is good on a late April Thursday. Blessings and good vibes for a good day for all.

I just had a coffee and two tea cakes.
All I have to do today is do the washing up and put out the rubbish. Friday will be my busy day as I have to get up, go to the docs, go to the bank, and get my weekly shop.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Isn't the abacus a device that dates back to 5,000BC in China or something?

I have to do physical therapy for the next few days. Will drop by and answer pms already in my mailbox here as time and energy permits.

Huge hug, everybody!

Yes, it's a chinese invention.

They were also the first to have a navy, about 20 times larger than anything the Europeans had, and then they simply mothballed the thing...

Oh Goody. I just found out that there was a shooting one block from my office early this am.

That always sends a chill through your spine doesn't it? I think my aunt and uncle were inspired to move to Albuquerque after a more unsavory element started moving into their neighborhood, the police were showing up on their block with regularity, and finally there was a shooting on their front lawn. Sort of makes a body think about it. And they lived in a very nice home in a plush, upscale neighborhood in Dallas too.

 

[Dajjal]

Oh Goody. I just found out that there was a shooting one block from my office early this am.

Wow, thats heavy. The police came to my door yesterday asking if I had seen anyone steal a neighbours motorcycle in the night, but I slept through it.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Speaking of computers my 320 GB hard drive on the desktop is almost full, it's dual booted, so I ordered a 1 TB hard drive. I'll ghost the old drive onto the new drive, wipe the old drive and use it for storage until I do my new build then I'll use it as the primary in the old machine with a dedicated Linux Ubuntu OS.
The new one will run Ubuntu with StealthVM to run Win7 in. Or I might just dual boot it also, haven't decided yet.

I have a 3 TB and two 2 TB external hard drives. they are almost full. I think I have about 70 GB left on the 3 TB. yea I tend to go overboard on downloading lol

What in the world do you download to fill up that much space?

Well, let's see:

Debbie does Dallas, parts 1 - 256...

 

[Foxfyre]

There really isn't a lake there. That is weird!!!

 

[boedicca]

Oh Goody. I just found out that there was a shooting one block from my office early this am.

Well, bleep.

Yep. Gotta go now and talk to the security company.

 

[Foxfyre]

IE eh? I hope you have some serious protection. I bet if you downloaded and installed Malwarebytes you'd find a boatload of PUP viruses infecting your computer and I'd hate to think what else.

I did the Malwarebytes, but there wasn't anything there. I have AVG and Spybot too.

I use a shortcut for the cookies folder on my desktop so I can manually delete them as needed, plus I delete everything at the end of the day.


But Youtube still doesn't work right with IE.

Okay, I've been doing some online research and the "fixes" are varied and sometimes convoluted. There is a conflict with Flash Player settings and IE but different people claim different settings within both are to blame.
The general consensus appears to be uninstalling Flash Player then reinstalling (some say use an older version of Flash) and if that doesn't work then switching over to Firefox.

Like everybody else though, rebooting seems to have fixed the problem for me. I use the sleep function on my computer and hadn't really shut it down or rebooted in maybe weeks. So I would recommend that quick fix before going to any other measures.

 

[Sarah G]

Yeah, I wouldn't be out on that ledge if it's really just not supported by anything.

 

[Foxfyre]

Oh Goody. I just found out that there was a shooting one block from my office early this am.

Well, bleep.

Yep. Gotta go now and talk to the security company.

Well, it sounds like you need to keep your head down out there. So be careful.

 

[Darkwind]

Morning peeps. Be afraid, be very afraid. I have Photoshop and I'm not afraid to use it!


muaahahahahah......*coughcough*

LOL

I was playing around thinking of getting a tattoo by My own design. Was thinking that a Phoenix would be kind of cool, but I don't want the usual tatoo designs. So, I thought, hey, what if I dressed up an American Bald Eagle as a Phoenix and then give it some flames? Might look cool...

Like I said..it might. But I yet lack the skill to put flames on the damned bird!! LOL


I did manage to get the colors I wanted though...

Here is the original taken from "The Birds of Corpus Christy"

And of course, the Phoenix without flames...

 

[Spoonman]

Yeah, I wouldn't be out on that ledge if it's really just not supported by anything.

i thought it was an uprooted thread

In addition to doing medical taxi duty this week, Hombre's volunteer services at the hospital, and three different service type guys (AC man, yard man, and electrician) coming or scheduled this week, we have had a steady steam of folks coming to the front door peddling something--cable/internet/phone companies, window replacement guys, security system people, kids selling stuff for school projects or sports teams etc.. And because so many folks have been invited, you feel you almost have to answer the door just in case. . . .

So I just saw this that my niece posted and wonder if it would help? (I would like to change the 'free beer' to 'free candy' or something though:

Am eagerly anticipating Sunday, as I am going on a mansion tour with my best friend.
