it's been so long, how do you attach a picture here?
Well, it's cold enough for winter here, although snow is in short supply. They keep promising flurries which never materialize. I still have wind burned cheeks that sting and burn, even when I'm inside and warmed up.
I came to the conclusion that while young families bring their children to family celebrations and share stories and anecdotes about their offspring, the more...seasoned population does the same thing with their dogs. At both gatherings I attended on Thanksgiving, there were almost as many dogs as people in attendance.
Hello, first time i come here...tonight i am listening to Roy Orbison i adore that music, merci. my mother like that singer so it remind me of her. she is a wonderful women.
Dalia, so happy you dropped in. I am a HUGE Roy Orbison fan and happy to have a kindred spirit here in that regard. I see you are in France. Are you French?
I think Ollie is at another board.Damn, I think our cell phones are close to $300 a month.Yeah that's roughly what Verizon charges too for one phone. But with the bare bones plan we have, Hombre and I both run our phones for about $50/month. If I need to access the internet when we are away from home, I can use my Kindle Fire or if we're going overnight somewhere, I take along a laptop.
Yes, but you probably have smartphones and plans that make the most of them. We really just wanted to make and receive calls and text once in awhile Verizon has been good to tailor simple plans like ours for people like us.
I think Ollie is at another site.is 007 still around?
He is. He stops in every now and then, sort of like you and Olie do, but isn't really active right now.
Yes he is. I am at the same site though I do a lot of my serious debating at yet another; however USMB and especially the Coffee Shop remains my official board home, Ollie does drop in here just to say hi every now and then though.
I haven't been to that board in quite awhile. last time I was there his wife was having some health issues

Yep we had no kids in our crowd for Thanskgiving dinner but there were lots of dogs--a chihuahua, a pomeranian, a Shih tzu, and a mini doxie.
Currently my gaming computer has a 24" and my Linux machine a 22", my laptop is a 18".55" LED TV in the living room, with the desktop computer hooked up to it, wireless mouse and keyboard. Each spot on the couch is a reclining desk chair. I came up with this idea in 2008, and I've noticed a lot of people doing the same in recent years. Word.
Cheating!
No wonder you could see it easier.
Try looking at it with a 10" screen.
Seriously , thats a really nice set up you have.
I've got a 22" on my main PC and a 20" on my secondary. The 22" is acting strangely of late, so I will be replacing it. I might try hooking my secondary PC, or perhaps the laptop that's sitting in a closet doing nothing atm, to the TV I just bought.
I have a 22" HD high resolution monitor and that barely fits on my desk.
I also have bose pc speakers and have about 200 songs on my play list to listen too while I'm
on the board.
It's good enough for me.
200 songs? I usually play all my music on random, it's 20-25 times as many songs.
A/C, electric furnaces and clothes dryers are huge energy hogs, a TV by comparison is like dipping a thimble into the energy stream.We have a 39" HDTV in the living room and we're perfectly happy with it. A 32" for a monitor would be great for me, I play games and stream video, anything larger would be too much for up close viewing. Plasmas give you the best picture but I've read they can still have image burn issues when used as computer monitors.Someone claimed they mounted a 60" on the wall with wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. a bit overkill for me..........
Get out of my living room!
But doesn't using a TV for a monitor use up a whole bunch more electricity?
You might have to define "a whole bunch." I don't think a monitor or a TV use up a large amount of electricity. I tend to think it is the heating/AC and appliances like washer/dryer that use the lion's share of electricity in a house.
Here's an article about power usage for a computer. It does say that a TV uses quite a bit more, although I still don't think it's a lot compared to the average AC use.

Gracie, three questions that might help with your internet time.Everyone loves karma. She even has a bindi (wart). Her weight is holding steady too. I have dropped 3 more lbs. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, but I ain't cplaining.

Some people use space heaters, humidifiers, and air fresheners in the winter. The crafty ones reroute their dryer ducts!

No outhouse here, but I do like to pee off my porch every chance I get! lol

If you live in the country, you can do that.
