2:43 am

carleekat

2:43 am

rubyfoo

it is really cold here, too, 11C this AM; it feels like Oct not Aug

2:44 am

carleekat

its 60 F here..when u are used to sleeping in 80+ weather...60 is freezing

2:46 am

rubyfoo

it hasn't been hot here, but 11 (approx 50F - too lazy to do the math) is very cold

2:46 am

rubyfoo

it hasn't been hot here, but 11 (approx 50F - too lazy to do the math) is very cold

2:48 am

carleekat

16 ish is 60F

2:49 am

carleekat

we had a month of hot...days over 100 F ( 35+ c) and nights of 80+ ( 28C )

2:50 am

rubyfoo

in the 14 summers we've been here, there has never been a day over 100, maybe 8 or 10 over 90 each year, but that's all. Whata pleasure after hot, sticky Miami

2:51 am

carleekat

( nbt/nbs in 21)

2:51 am

carleekat

we are hot sticky miami for 1 month....temperate and nice for a month on either side of that..and then cool nights warm days for a month on either side of those 3....

2:52 am

rubyfoo

that is impressive

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I have 46 words but no nbt

2:52 am

carleekat

then snowy and cold and miserable for the other 7 months

2:54 am

rubyfoo

this year, we hardly had any snow, only one big storm in Dec. Then warm and dry through the rest of the winter and spring

2:54 am

carleekat

we had a very long winter...started in oct...lasted until mid may

2:55 am

rubyfoo

that's tough. I only mind humidity but otherwise, it is mostly dry and beautiful here

2:57 am

carleekat

3:05 am

carleekat

hmmm...5 or 6 years now...off and on...i get tired of babble and disappear for a few weeks...

3:06 am

carleekat

especially if i am stupid enough to do a big grid...400+ word and finish... i am guarenteed gone for a couple of months

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I start the grid every day, but rarely finish and then, only with help from my friends who push me over the last few words

3:09 am

carleekat

and with fb....i have a few babble friends i talk to there....so if am in my " bored of babble" i still keep in touch

3:10 am

carleekat

( half way now)

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I don't use FB very much any more except for lexulous

3:10 am

rubyfoo

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I can't see what I type!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

ruby is the love of my life' I love Max, too, but he's autistic and a little bit strange

3:30 am

rubyfoo

my son said photographing Max was like photographing sasquatch; he had to hide in the shrubbery

3:30 am

carleekat

i love all my furbabies

3:31 am

rubyfoo

how many do you have?

3:31 am

rubyfoo

and names?

3:31 am

carleekat

my dog does not like to cooperate on the photography thing yet...maybe he is too young yet???? and i have 2 black cats..they are hard to photograph as you cant see definition..they just look like blobs

3:32 am

rubyfoo

like Max hahah

3:33 am

carleekat

i have 3 cats, kiki ( a tabby norwegian forest cat who is 8 or 9 now ), monkey/ tellie ( a mink coloured norwegian forest cat 5 ), Boo ( black oriental polydactyl SD who is 4 ) and Panzer ( 18 or 19 week old black german shepherd)

3:34 am

rubyfoo

my husband had a shepherd named Pan\zer, before we met

3:36 am

carleekat

that is what you said the other day....my son was nicnamed Tank when he played hockey..other boys would try to take him out with a hit but they would end up falling down as he was so solid on his feet..then he got bigger and became more of an enforcer....( there was one year there were 3 taylors on his team...hense the need for a nicname )....so when he got the shepherd... panzer was the name before we even had him

3:37 am

carleekat

panzer is up to 60 pounds now... his daddy is 110 and mommy is 85

3:37 am

carleekat

his front paws are bigger than my fist...

3:38 am

carleekat

there is apic of him sleeping on my sofa with his head on his stuffy ducky that quacks

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I thought that was a mad coincidence, 2 dogs in a week named panzere! duh me!

3:39 am

carleekat

hehehe... funny

3:39 am

rubyfoo

now it all comes back. If I don't write things down, it is hard to keep track!

3:39 am

carleekat

( my panzer is the BIGGEST sucky boy...so gentle...)

mrpresident

6:20 am

6:20 am

rubyfoo

mrpresident

6:21 am

uusue2

speed limits are lower here, also we ran into some very nasty rain, and also some road construction that slowed us down

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

6:21 am

mrpresident

hi scrabs!

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Are you still in NJ, Sue?

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I never called the insurance company as I was sure it was lost in the house -- or, that it cgot thrown away

6:21 am

mrpresident

6:21 am

periwinkle

well,may be I will end up with two packs of tim tams :)

6:22 am

mrpresident

6:22 am

rubyfoo

I can't see what I'm typing (for a change); I don't know what's wrong with my computer

6:22 am

mrpresident

i have it all documented that it left this country

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Sue, I'll e-mail you later. I forgot to decide where we will meet in Ellicottville. Duh.

6:23 am

Scrabbler

The chat doesn't show for you, Ruby?

6:23 am

uusue2

no problem, we will figure it out I am sure :-)

6:24 am

rubyfoo

nothing I typ0e shows for me. I sent Sue a totally incomprehensible e-mail the other day; it's embarrassing

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Do you see a cursor?

6:24 am

rubyfoo

It shows up long after I've gone on to the next thing

6:24 am

mrpresident

ruby, time to get the puter to a technician!

6:24 am

uusue2

actually it was perfectly comprehensible, and considerably more coherent than many emails I get from my students :-)

6:25 am

rubyfoo

that is kind, sue, but I am too old to be writing such mesme**y letters

6:25 am

rubyfoo

or the technician to my computer

6:26 am

rubyfoo

that was supposed to be me**y!

6:27 am

uusue2

well, if you can't see what you are writing, I can see how it would be difficult! I have enough trouble when I *can* see what i have done...

6:27 am

uusue2

oh, and nbt for me (although I had to look up the stats for the W)

6:28 am

rubyfoo

it is very annoying and too abstract for pragmatic me!

6:33 am

mrpresident

ruby, lickety is helpful with things like that

6:34 am

Scrabbler

At 60/84 I am saying good-bye. Must leave for the office. Enjoy the day everyone.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

99 words and I'm going to shut down and hope for the (unwritten and unseen) best

7:15 am

Riverdance

I think I was on vacation so did not hear what was wrong

7:15 am

EvaNadine

7:15 am

mrpresident

7:16 am

Riverdance

OMG - did they find where

7:16 am

7:16 am

EvaNadine

they finally diagnosed him with Diverticulosis

7:17 am

mrpresident

river, I spent the afternoon sleeping after eating a 'bad' hotdog from my son's school, wasn't pretty!!
But my son's project went so so well!! Will post it on youtube.

7:17 am

Riverdance

7:17 am

mrpresident

thank goodness eva that they are taking all the care they can now they are certain of the diagnosis

7:17 am

mrpresident

7:17 am

Riverdance

yay for your son - boo to the bad hotdog - glad you are feeling better

7:18 am

EvaNadine

surprisingly, no. he didnt present the usual way.
he was fine on saturday, and on sunday, he complained that he didnt feel well, but nothing in particular. there was one area that was sore if you pressed on it, but that was it.

7:18 am

Riverdance

that disease can be nasty - will have to watch his diet

7:19 am

EvaNadine

he already did, for various reasons. had not, not actually DID it...

7:20 am

Riverdance

well sorry to hear he went through all of that but glad he is on his way to mending - what a scare for all of you

7:20 am

uusue2

7:21 am

EvaNadine

JBV

when I visited my father's family in Sicily, they tried to send me home with fresh homemade ricotta salata in my suitcase, I had to refuse, and I know their feelings were hurt, they were sure no one would notice - but you could smell it a mile away!

hey Molly

10:13 am

scouser

Good afternoon all. The idiots burning cars got within a hundred yards of my son's house on Tuesday night. The rain and local opposition have now dampened the enthusiasm of yobbos in (designer) hoodies. I feel so sorry for those people in London who have lost everything and were jumping out of windows to escape the fires.

10:13 am

sprite

hi scouser, indeed

10:14 am

MollyL

It's a very sad situation with selfishness running rampant.

10:16 am

scouser

Hello sprite and MollyL. Too right. One caller on the radio suggested paintball tactics - anyone know of a really indelible dye that would penetrate fleece? Aha - sheep dip? Can you spray it?

10:16 am

sprite

good idea

10:18 am

scouser

Yes sheep dip mixed with some really girlie perfume might mark them sufficiently for the cops' dogs to find them out. I also suggested that during the day, when these yobbos must be resting, that the rest of the populace makes as much noise as possible.

10:28 am

MollyL

I wouldn't be surprised if people start taking matters into their own hands. The police seem to be very ineffective.

10:29 am

that would be a very bad thing

10:54 am

Uneaixoise

Rafael Nadal is out at the Rogers Cup after a shocking 1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) defeat in the second round against Croatiaâ€™s Ivan Dodig on Wednesday night.

With the tiebreaker in the final set tied 5-5, Dodigâ€”ranked 41st in the worldâ€”ripped a 135 miles-per-hour ace past Nadal, then finished the upset by hammering a backhand that the second-ranked Spanish star couldnâ€™t handle.

â€œThis is the greatest moment of my life,â€ Dodig said.

10:54 am

vent your spleen mrp..we are here for you

10:54 am

Uneaixoise

back in a mo *poof*

10:56 am

mrpresident

so....
I get a text from friend asking me to take her daughter home from school cause she isn't well.
I get to school, having delivered my daughter... and she is in great discomfort. Principal asks that I get her to a doc.
I agree and take her. Doc says, take her to hospital now!

10:56 am

mrpresident

I try to call my friend during trip to hospital, no answer, BUT, she is texting her daughter

10:58 am

mrpresident

sooooooo, after about 4 hours, and terrible ''issues'' with her daughter's fear of needles etc... she can't be touched in elbow, groin, neck or wrist area... we get IV's into her

10:58 am

crosshair

where is mom? she is coming over right?

11:00 am

mrpresident

... and then the tests come. I text my friend, in fear of calling her and screaming down the phone "GET THE F*** OVER HERE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAUGHTER CAUSE SHE NEEDS YOU!.
She texts back... be there before 3pm... just before her tests.
So, at 4pm... and during her tests which take an hour, my friend turns up with a posse of friends

11:00 am

doseffing

... I'm still amazed that the school lt you take the kid out! ... not here unless the parent has sighned a note saying you have permission ... or they know you really, really well ...

11:00 am

mrpresident

she gave the school permission for me to take her daughter

11:00 am

doseffing

... that's "let" and "signed" ... typing lesson at 3 this afternoon

11:00 am

mrpresident

and they know me really really really well!

11:00 am

uusue2

I cannot imagine not wanting to be RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW if my son were taken to hospital!!!

11:01 am

mrpresident

I have had her kids in my care many times

11:01 am

doseffing

... over the phone? ... okay ...

11:01 am

mrpresident

i know usue!! isn't that the biter??

11:01 am

mrpresident

I signed her out at the school dos

11:02 am

mrpresident

the principal was ontop of me to get the girl out of the school. and her mother had informed them I was taking her

11:02 am

doseffing

... but they recognized the mother's voice (probably had her number on the dialer ... okay) ...

11:02 am

mrpresident

soooo, I text her... get your ass here now!!

11:02 am

mrpresident

dos, they know me, know I have foster cared these kids, know everything... very long story

11:03 am

crosshair

i let nothing et in my way if one of my family has been taken to hospital..work or anything else be damned

11:03 am

doseffing

... sorry for interrupting ... ... it wouldn't happen like that here ... continue

11:03 am

mrpresident

she say... will be there 2.30pm.... in she waltzes, at 4.30pm, dressed to the 9's!! she had to stop off home and change after work!!

11:04 am

mrpresident

I only THEN find out she is homeless, living out of a hotel!!

11:04 am

uusue2

oh my gosh, mrp!!!

11:05 am

mrpresident

She is blazee about it all... doesn't even greet her daughter!! I am just reeling by now! been there 5 hours!! she could have left work, but didn't think 'it was serious, this has been going on for weeks'

11:06 am

uusue2

it's been going on for weeks and she hadn't seen to it??

11:06 am

crosshair

so what was the diagnosis on the child?

11:06 am

mrpresident

so, I collect myself.... put on my professional face (with yellow and red cards in mind) and take it on.

11:06 am

mrpresident

her daughter is IN the exam room for ultrasound when her mother walks in... what do you think she says???

11:07 am

mrpresident

remember, this child is in enormous pain and panicking.

11:09 am

mrpresident

she says, "I better not see a baby in there."

WELL! I pull her toward me and hiss at her (yep, like a snake) "shut your smart mouth and open your heart and intelligent brain right now!!"
I realise, she doesn't know HOW to sympathise with her children!

11:09 am

doseffing

... I knew I sshould have said that

11:10 am

mrpresident

THEN!!!!! READY????

11:10 am

crosshair

here it comes...

11:10 am

mrpresident

she tells me she has to go help 'JOHN' move boxes and can I look after her kid... she will be back in an hour.... this is 5pm

11:11 am

crosshair

!

11:11 am

JeeWhiz

mrp, I am so glad this child has you for a friend. Is she okay?

11:12 am

littlebit

that woman doesn't deserve to be a mom

11:12 am

mrpresident

She didn't come back until 9am the next morning... and complaining about how she had to cancel work and her exhusband and her boyfriend and everything else under the sun!!
I look at her daughter, who just rolls her eyes. I find out she has her operation at 10.30am and I make sure she goes down with her to the surgery

11:12 am

doseffing

... yeah ... but she's not unique ...

11:12 am

sadie52

Hello :)

11:12 am

crosshair

what is her diagnosis?

11:13 am

mrpresident

She has appendicitis and possible cycts in the ovaries... they do a bit of an exploration.

11:13 am

mrpresident

I got to go to an appointment at this stage, one that I can't get out of... but only 15 minutes away.

11:13 am

mrpresident

so ........

11:14 am

mrpresident

after the appointment, I go back to the hospital, just to make sure her mum IS there, cause she is texting me that she has to go do all this other stuff, blah, blah, blah... and I text her back saying 'I WILL see you at the hospital at midday. you be there'.

11:15 am

mrpresident

i tell her, you have to be here for when she comes out of surgery... they take you down to recovery when they start to wake up so they have you there and taking care.....

11:16 am

mrpresident

we get down there at 12.30pm... my friend is so over the top... laughing, telling jokes (obviously not coping), and the nurse tells her to take a chair and pull it to the bed and try and keep it down to a whisper.

11:16 am

crosshair

good thing you were there to teach her how to be a parent as she seems to have missed that class

11:17 am

mrpresident

Chelsea (her daughter) comes around... and she just sits there... says nothing. Chelsea looks at me and says "Michelle?? Can I have some water, my throat hurts".

11:17 am

mrpresident

I then 'nicely' leaned in and told my friend how to get up, stroke her daughter's hair and talk softly to her to soothe her.

11:18 am

mrpresident

W. T. F. ??

11:18 am

crosshair

perhaps this "mother" is a drug addict? a brain injury perhaps?

11:19 am

mrpresident

not at all crossy... she is a teatotter and never even had a headache tablet.

11:20 am

mrpresident

she is just... i am not sure what to say!??

11:20 am

crosshair

not wired to be a parent i suppose

11:20 am

mrpresident

ok, she is clueless

11:20 am

doseffing

... a selfish selfcentred bitch

11:22 am

mrpresident

crossy, I adore her, she is a great woman; funny, works hard, makes huge effort to 'keep' her children... but she has no idea how to luv them! I didn't know this of her... and I should have known cause I have had her kids live with me during 'turbulent' times. I now see the light

11:22 am

mrpresident

yes dos....

11:22 am

Jindigo

Mr. Pres... her parents may have never shown her love and affection so she dosen't know what to do

11:23 am

sadie52

sometimes i think you should have to be liscensed to be a parent

11:24 am

mrpresident

is a sad situation. I wish she would take her eppervescent personality and use it to help her kids

11:25 am

mrpresident

jindigo, i can't see it from her parent's... have met them, they seem 'normal' and nice... but I didn't grow up in her house

11:26 am

doseffing

... any school teacher from any level can tell you that they see these kids every day ...

11:26 am

crosshair

well,i try not to judge people cause i have not yet judged myself.perhaps this medical scare will bring them closer

11:26 am

mrpresident

so, it was just a race against time for me to make sure she was there for her daughter after surgery... was incredible that she just didn't want to deal with it... and I was mentally challenged by it all!! (if I could LOL right now, I would, but don't think it is right)

11:29 am

crosshair

sounds like a chaotic 24 hours for you mrp:(

11:29 am

mrpresident

was then up till midnight helping Luke with a PIP project... got it all done, had to wake up at 5am to finish it and still he was late to school.
He took me to the canteen at morning tea and I made the mistake of having food from there!
Went home, was very sick and slept the whole afternoon.... GUESS WHAT I MISSED OUT ON DOING FOR MY HUSBAND! (feeling like a shithouse wife).......

11:30 am

mrpresident

He had an important interview yesterday morning (is now Friday morning) at 10.15am... then had surgury.... I missed out on talking to him. I missed out on seeing him... I missed out on being there for him... I missed out on everything for HIM!

11:30 am

mrpresident

so, that is my story, and glad I got it out

11:31 am

11:34 am

mrpresident

11:34 am

11:34 am

crosshair

take 5 and stop beating yourself up over it.you helped a child

11:35 am

uusue2

yes - and it sounds like the child REALLY needed you!! so it was wonderful that you were there for her

11:35 am

crosshair

indeed

11:35 am

doseffing

... lesson 2 ... if you'll do this for someoneelse's kid ... he can feel confident that you do 10 times this much for your own ... ... strength #2

11:36 am

crosshair

anyone who can put their lives on hold to help another in distress is blessed

11:37 am

doseffing

... lesson 3 ... all things in moderation ... including moderation ... ... yes, help out all you can ... ... but realize that at some point you have to step back and look after yourself and your own

11:37 am

crosshair

if i were lickety,i would be proud to call you my wife

11:39 am

11:49 am

mrpresident

hi onyx! long time!! **hugs**

11:53 am

doseffing

... as a wise (or idiotic ... depends on perspective) parent ... I can't get my own kid to bed before 2 in the morning ... even though it's hurting her ... ... so I won't even ask why you're still up at 2 in the morning

11:53 am

onyx

back at ya mr p

11:54 am

mrpresident

had food poisoning, slept for 6 hours... got up at 8pm... will go sleep soon though

11:54 am

stidmama

(((mrp)))

11:55 am

mrpresident

have to be up at 6am to do roast turkey, then go sleep again... get back to 'normal' after that

11:55 am

stidmama

hope lickety will feel okay!

11:55 am

stidmama

roast turkey? is it a holiday?

11:56 am

doseffing

... no comment ... I'm scared about my daughter when she goes off to university in three weeks (even though she won't be an hour away by car) ... because she'll stay up too late ... be too tired to function properly

11:56 am

doseffing

... you promise it's "normal"? ... okay then

11:56 am

stidmama

doseffing, if she does, then she will learn (as I and so many others do) what her limits are and what she needs to do to stay healthy and get good grades

11:57 am

mrpresident

no stid, we don't do turkey roast holidays, is just a normal meal

11:57 am

stidmama

our younger son is a "night owl" like your daughter and does just fine -- as long as he sleeps in on occasion!

11:57 am

mrpresident

dos... as normal as I can be :))

11:57 am

stidmama

wow mrp :-D it must be nice to live in your house! (I love roast turkey!)

11:58 am

onyx

Turkey? at this time of year?

11:58 am

doseffing

... been hoping for that for four years of high school ... hasn't worked yet ... she's an outstanding student ... but being tired she gets obsessive and extremely depressed ... ...

11:59 am

mrpresident

we don't get your luvly turkeys! we get frozen breast rolls and have them every three months or so

11:59 am

mrpresident

dos, your daughter should meet my daughter

12:00 pm

onyx

ah. we can get fresh turkey but it will cost you. the deals are in november. plenty of frozen birds, but i'm spoiled.

12:00 pm

mrpresident

I had this boyfriend that only slept 4 hours a night.... he is now my age and still only sleeps 4 hours a night... but he was a very 'high' person, naturally

12:00 pm

onyx

or my son. who is still in bed' even though he has things to do.

12:01 pm

mrpresident

we pay about $15 a kilo of turkey breast... is cheap compared to lamb and beef!

12:01 pm

doseffing

... seen that every day this summer

12:01 pm

stidmama

I am a person who really needs at least 9 hours a night to function. If I try to go on 7 hours or less for an extended period I get pretty cranky.

12:02 pm

onyx

that's why i try to eat veggies. i'm getting priced out of the meats

12:02 pm

mrpresident

too right stid! 7 hours is my limit... 8 hours better... 9 hours preferred

12:03 pm

doseffing

... yes ... I try for 7.5 hrs ... when the cats will let me have them ... ... they can tell time and get me up at 6:15 ... one minute before the alarm ... everyday ... even weekends ... and days off ... and holidays ... ... if they can read a clock why can't they read a calendar?

12:03 pm

stidmama

LOL doseffing

12:03 pm

mrpresident

LOL at the cats!!

12:03 pm

doseffing

... yes LOL ... it beats crying

12:04 pm

mrpresident

dos, they have you 'wrapped'

12:04 pm

JenMO16

i hear ya doseffing, it is so true, my mom's cat wakes her in the morning everyday including weekends at 5 AM

12:04 pm

doseffing

... too true

12:05 pm

doseffing

... and it's my own fault ... when they were kittens I fed them in the evening ... but then I got stupid and started feeding them in the morning before going to work

12:05 pm

mrpresident

for years, my cats woke me at 5.30am... then I screamed at them one morning. and they stopped!!

12:06 pm

mrpresident

i think they realised I was not amused!

12:07 pm

doseffing

... mine just say "so what's your problem fella! Now feed me!!"

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

my cat knows perfectly well i am capable of ignoring her so she waits more or less patiently each morning

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

so what is the easiest fastest way to wipe files off a computer?

12:08 pm

JenMO16

hi jm

12:09 pm

mrpresident

best one was a couple of weeks ago... licktey was sleeping, and the kitten we had staying at our house was 'playing' with our dog... both of them ended up on his head, having a fight... the threw them to next tuesday! they both freaked out!

12:10 pm

doseffing

... easiest? ... reformat and start again

12:10 pm

jmcnrick

is that relatively fast?

12:10 pm

doseffing

... what's the situation?

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

i want to give this laptop back to the store tonight because it is a piece of shit

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

and when i went on line to the dell customer service they showed i bought it in april when i bought it in june so i think they sold me a used laptop that was returned

12:11 pm

doseffing

... yes ... reformat ... unless you wanna go to the trouble of security software to clean up and that doesn't sound necessary

12:12 pm

jmcnrick

how do i reformat?

12:12 pm

doseffing

... THere's probl

12:13 pm

doseffing

... There's a command on the control panel ... or if you can get to a DOS command line ... just type reformat C: (assuming it's the harddrive)

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

so if i do this it will wipe out all of the software that the store put on this too/

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

yes?

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

is the store likely to be annoyed with me if i do that?

12:17 pm

doseffing

... it wipes out everything and gives you a partioned disk

12:17 pm

doseffing

... they'll probably do it when you take it back anyways ...

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

so they won't care?

12:18 pm

doseffing

... if you just want your data files to go ... do it yourself with the delete function ... but that only eliminates the addressing

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

i want to be sure since it is an irrevocable kind of thing

12:19 pm

doseffing

... not unless they did something special with the operating system and truly customized it ... but if you're just taking it back ... they'll want the applications gone so they can sell the apps again to a new customer

12:20 pm

doseffing

... is there anything special ... like tremendously confidential about the data which you've got on the machine?

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

yes i have people's tax returns on here

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

complete with social security numbers and birthdates

12:21 pm

doseffing

... reformating will wipe off the file and re-establish it as a blank sectioned disc drive

12:21 pm

doseffing

... reformat it

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

so the worst thing that could happen if i reformat it is that i get this computer back and have to put all this stuff back on again

12:21 pm

stidmama

jmc, I would NOT wipe the drive before you talk to someone to be sure it doesn't invalidate the warranty.

12:21 pm

doseffing

... I want my SSN and tax return disappeared ...

12:22 pm

doseffing

... not passed on to the next buyer

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

oh stid you are probably right. i will take it over there and not let them have it until they agree to reformat it in front of me then

12:23 pm

stidmama

There is a possibility that cleaning it that way would "cure" issues; but be certain you have the disk that came with the computer for reinstall first! That will have the DELL set-up ready to do. You will need the registration number to reinstall.

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

i guess that is the best i can do

12:23 pm

doseffing

... there are software packages which can clean the file entirely ... most businesses have such a program if they are buying new machines to replace old ones which they're getting rid of ...

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

i just want to take this piece of old crap that they sold me as new back! WAH!

12:24 pm

doseffing

... if you're Abby Shutto or Timothy McGee you can likely get some of the stuff back even with reformatting ... but you gotta know it's there to start looking

12:24 pm

stidmama

but definitely, if you suspect they sold you a used machine as "new" ... isn't that fraud? You could sue them!

12:24 pm

doseffing

... reformat the hard drive

12:24 pm

doseffing

... we all figure it's fraud ... but how ya gonna prove it

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

i went to the dell customer service and they said my warrantee ended august 20 and i was surprised since i bought it july 1

12:25 pm

stidmama

well, if the former user's data or modifications are there...

12:25 pm

doseffing

... and I'll bet they only said it's something like good as new

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

then i saw that they said i bought april 20

12:25 pm

stidmama

oh gee jmc -- you have the receipt of course! And a copy of the warranty you were given, with the term of warranty?

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

nope i bought in on-line dose

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

from best buy

12:27 pm

stidmama

hm. Best Buy has been pretty good for us -- have you dealt at all with the local store?

12:27 pm

doseffing

... you're a lawyer ... read all the documentation ... and then prove your allogations in court ... ... or just be pissed off and reformat the hard drive

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

i don't have the receipt handy but i do have the credit card statement and best buy will have teh receipt

12:27 pm

MollyL

You should have an email verifying your purchase. That constitutes a receipt for an on line purchase.

12:27 pm

stidmama

that's what I was going to say Molly! GMTA

12:28 pm

MollyL

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

jmcnrick

yes so i think if i print out what it says at dell and go to them they do okay by me

12:29 pm

stidmama

what are you going to to with it, Judi?

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

unfortunately i deleted that email after i went to best buy to pick it up. but right will prevail

12:30 pm

stidmama

Yes, I think that it possible, jmc

12:30 pm

MollyL

Well, first a possum, then maybe miss kitty kat.

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

take the possum out in the woods and dump it

12:30 pm

stidmama

your email's "trash" might still have the document in it, jmc

12:30 pm

Judi

It's already been set free, stid. I'm trying to catch my missing cat.

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

but the question was if i should reformat the computer before i take it back

12:31 pm

MollyL

JMC, Yahoo email still retains everything. Do a search on Best Buy and perhaps you will find it.

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

no already looked stiddie

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

but thanks for the brain storming everyone

12:31 pm

stidmama

bummer, jmc

12:31 pm

doseffing

... unless you want to give Best Buy a copy of your employees tax statements ... YES

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

i use hotmail for commercial emails

12:31 pm

stidmama

oh, sorry Judi -- I don't know how to catch cats without getting possums (and raccoons and such)

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am off to best buy. if they take it back i will reformat it there myself

12:32 pm

stidmama

((jmc)) good luck!

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

good thing i never throw away the boxes!

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

12:33 pm

MollyL

Keeping the faith Judi.

12:35 pm

Judi

I think I'll try putting the cage at the outside edge of the hedgerow, instead of further in where the animal paths are. Just praying I don't get a skunk.

12:35 pm

stidmama

and I am outta here as well. Need to try to find some warm jackets for the people who are unprepared to go up Mt. Rainier... they think it's summer so the mountain will be warm. *sigh* I love the people who come to the meeting, but many of them are rather impractical.

12:35 pm

stidmama

*poof*

12:36 pm

MollyL

I think anything you do to keep your hope alive is good. It sends a message to The Universe.

12:36 pm

mrpresident

just back.. cup of tea in hand... hello to those that came in and bye to those that left!! **hugs**

12:37 pm

Judi

Hiya, Mr.P!

12:37 pm

Judi

I don't care about the universe, Molly. I just want my little girl back.

12:38 pm

Judi

*selfishly only thinking of kitty and myself*

12:41 pm

mrpresident

molly, you are very straight up there... it is so comforting to keep hope

12:41 pm

Judi

Appreciate the moral support. Stay tuned for tomorrow's "cage report". :-)

12:42 pm

mrpresident

I just want you all to know that lickety had a huge day! I prayed for him, and all came back tenfold!

12:43 pm

Judi

Awesome, Mr. P. Lord knows you folks are due for some good news.

12:44 pm

mrpresident

he went to a job interview... aced it... and then to surgery... poor bastard had it all today, but all positive and good. We are moving forward... and finding a new house to live in... can't wait!

12:44 pm

Judi

Sounds exciting! Hope you aren't moving because of the prick.

12:45 pm

uusue2

yay for mrp and lickety!!!!

12:46 pm

mrpresident

getting away from the Prick and associates. going to court on tuesday (new court date) and he has final interview with the USA on monday. He will then get his job, and move to upper management in January!
how good can it get!?

12:46 pm

uusue2

sounds fabulous, mrp!!

12:47 pm

mrpresident

judi, we have to... the courts are backing us, and now the federal police... I guess like your FBI are involved

12:47 pm

Judi

Wow! You guys really hit the lottery!

12:48 pm

mrpresident

yeap! we realised that the state police are not going to help... but the federal police are very concerned.

12:49 pm

uusue2

great, mrp! I am glad you have finally gotten the attention of the authoritative authorities :-)

12:49 pm

crosshair

reading back..yaa for mrp and lickety!! new job,new place to live..yaaa!

12:54 pm

crosshair

like someone once said 'the best revenge is living well" be one in love with your family and nothing on earth can defeat you mrp...i must head to work now but before i go,i give you crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!

12:54 pm

crosshair

There are people who can actually see, smell and physically taste music. This is an example of a phenomenon known as synesthesia. Synesthetes report seeing symphonies in spectacular colors, smelling Beethoven and tasting Chopin.

12:54 pm

crosshair

happy babbling everyone!...poink!

12:55 pm

licketySplitAUS

thanks all

12:56 pm

licketySplitAUS

(mrp here), my puter gave up the ghost.... can log in as master_president, or stay on as lickety... what way would you like??

1:00 pm

licketySplitAUS

wow crossy! is true about smelling and seeing and tasting the music. my son does that

1:00 pm

Judi

Fireworks!!!

1:00 pm

licketySplitAUS

on ya judi!!

1:01 pm

Judi

That's extraordinary. What does he say the music tastes and smells like?

1:02 pm

licketySplitAUS

yes, having the federal police is the blessing we have been praying for mrp

1:03 pm

licketySplitAUS

he tastes the music when he plays his instrument... the notes taste different! and he sees colour behind his eyelids when he closes his eyes, like blues for deep notes... green for midnotes and yellows for high notes

1:03 pm

Judi

Hope the prick gets branded as a terrorist and gets put on the do-not-fly list.

1:04 pm

licketySplitAUS

judi, what he did is a terrorist act... I am hoping he will be arrested for terrorism, cause the car bomb points to that... but not sure about how much the law can extend itself to that

1:05 pm

licketySplitAUS

we were targeted as individuals... not a community or specific race/religion. will see where this goes now

1:05 pm

Judi

Hmm. Perhaps the Feds will have better resources to tie DNA evidence to the arson.

1:05 pm

licketySplitAUS

but the prick will NOT be happy when the federal police get up his nose

1:06 pm

licketySplitAUS

car fires... most fires, burn the DNA evidence

1:06 pm

Judi

So did you contact the Feds or was it referred to them by the court or state police?

1:07 pm

licketySplitAUS

that has been the problem all along, but his statements to people are what we can drive this attack on... he will F up and be put into custody soon

1:07 pm

Judi

Awesome! Okay. Gotta jet. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

1:08 pm

licketySplitAUS

The evidence I have presented to the federal police is solid... he says he knows who did the fire on our house... he admitted to knowing who did it, but wouldn't tell us. It is all recoreded

1:08 pm

licketySplitAUS

recorded even

1:09 pm

licketySplitAUS

It is beyond me that our state police could do nothing... even with his statement to my husband... but now, he has put himself in the 'firing line' , so to speak, and they will interrogate him.

1:10 pm

HarryHood

hope it all works out for you mrp

1:10 pm

HarryHood

what a crazy ordeal

1:10 pm

licketySplitAUS

I go back to court next week tuesday. Then the main crux of the situation will be clear the the judge will be asked to open the case with the federal police... that is what the law requires

1:11 pm

HarryHood

i'm going to try to get my baby to nap.

1:11 pm

licketySplitAUS

thanks harry... am feeling better now... more empowered. We just want him put away for his actions and the slander and consequences of it all

1:12 pm

licketySplitAUS

I feel for so many other things much more than my own situation, I truly do. However, we are under threat and lickety is scared he will come home and find us 'gone'.

1:12 pm

licketySplitAUS

happy napping baby harry!!

1:14 pm

licketySplitAUS

I accept that he didn't set the fire himself, but he certainly set it up with his actions, and that is founded.

1:15 pm

licketySplitAUS

wow! the sun is coming up! I better get my arse to bed so I can function at least half mode for the kids in the morning. Can nap during the day. Lickety is home now, the operation has drained him... but he can lay down and work for a few hours.

1:16 pm

periwinkle

hi and bye mrp

1:16 pm

2:27 pm

Good Enough

2:27 pm

mrpresident

2:28 pm

2:28 pm

JenMO16

2:28 pm

mrpresident

2:29 pm

mrpresident

Love your icon GE

2:32 pm

JenMO16

2:32 pm

mrpresident

after my cancer op and endometrial ablation, he was required to take 'action'

2:32 pm

hego

uh oh!

2:33 pm

Good Enough

yeah hego i've been lovin it a little too much lately! lol

2:33 pm

mrpresident

they didn't put him through the 2 hour psych questions, as it is important for my life

2:33 pm

mrpresident

they fit him in for a vasectomy today... poor bugger

2:34 pm

JenMO16

oic!

2:34 pm

mrpresident

and of course... it hurts!

2:34 pm

JenMO16

well, yeah!

2:35 pm

hego

A little ice, he'll be fine. :-)

2:35 pm

mrpresident

the bag of frozen peas works the best!!

2:35 pm

mrpresident

I feel for him, really do! If he wasn't married to me, he wouldn't have had to do this

2:36 pm

Good Enough

i thought my husband was very gallant offering to get a vasectomy (of course served his own needs too!) but then when after 4 pregnacies, 3 births, years of birth control and his was only 20 minutes door to door i thought HOW UNFAIR!

2:36 pm

JenMO16

LOL

2:36 pm

hego

very therapeutic, are peas.

2:36 pm

JenMO16

i prefer frozen hash browns!

2:36 pm

hego

Yes, GE, there's no equity.

2:36 pm

mrpresident

too right!

2:37 pm

mrpresident

yeah, peas are great... and he can lay down and work on the laptop...!

2:37 pm

Good Enough

but then that fits with our eternally giving personalities as ladies :)

2:38 pm

mrpresident

I had my surgery 2 months ago... he had to follow suit

2:38 pm

hego

And please no burdens to the strong lecture.

2:38 pm

hego

We could get a break once in a while, why not?

2:38 pm

JenMO16

i have been bored at home recovering from my surgery, but Monday will be the day i go back!

2:39 pm

hego

Glad you're better Jen.

2:39 pm

It was rather chatty all day, perhaps folks are taking a break. Hi Min.

How goes the revolution, Moll & Jmc?

3:44 pm

MollyL

Hi JMC, how is the remodel going?

3:45 pm

Minveryork

Hi jmcnrick.I have changed my priorities around. I'm babbling before I do any of my school work. Shame on me! I will probably regret it when I'm up late tonight.

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

ugh!

3:45 pm

MollyL

Kind of sad Soodle. Turns out the only thing I looted was the beer shelf in my fridge.

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

haha min you will probably go to bed even earlier!

3:45 pm

MollyL

Ugh?? To the remodel?

3:45 pm

Soodle

A loot is a loot, Molly!

3:46 pm

jmcnrick

i got best buy to take back my computer even though it was more than 14 days

3:46 pm

jmcnrick

does that qualify as a loot?

3:46 pm

Minveryork

H's Hooped! 4 left

3:46 pm

MollyL

*Sprinkles JMC with holy water for having to deal with Best Buy*

3:49 pm

3:51 pm

Minveryork

I'm off to do some lesson plans. I will be back later on to get my last 3 words and to help with out with clues

3:51 pm

3:54 pm

MollyL

What's new in Soodle's world?

4:02 pm

Soodle

Not a whole lot, Molly! But, on the positive side, everybody here is healthy, content and reasonably happy - so on the whole, things are good! And Chez Molly? Are things good there?

4:05 pm

MollyL

Healthy, content and reasonably happy is a good thing. Same here. I'm just grateful for my blessings.

4:06 pm

Soodle

:-).

4:08 pm

Soodle

My son turns 21 in a fortnight. He works in the UK, but will be home for the birthday. I've just been trying to organise a bit of a do for him........ Trouble is... most of his comtemporaries are all in either Australia or Canada or the UK. This blooming recession is a pain in the a**

4:10 pm

MollyL

Aw, sons turning 21 is a fun thing to celebrate. Hope it turns out to be a very fun party.

4:12 pm

Soodle

Absolutely! And he is a great kid, to boot! I am really looking forward to seeing him - he hasn't been home since June.

4:15 pm

MollyL

I understand that. My older two have busy lives and it's sometimes hard to plan family get togethers. But when we do, they are the highlight of my life. I love spending time with my kids.

4:17 pm

Soodle

Its what its all about, really, isn't it? Family! (Good grief.. Is Soodle getting maudlin?)

4:18 pm

MollyL

No, not maudlin. Just keeping your heart where the good things are. Nothing wrong with that.

4:20 pm

Soodle

((((Molls)))).

4:22 pm

Soodle

I guess I better wander off to bed. Important meeting tomorrow morning (yik!) Good night Molly, and thanks!

4:22 pm

MollyL

Sweet dreams Soodle. Best of luck with your meeting.

Hey Babblers. I said good night about an hour ago, but cant sleep. Any suggestions to lull me nto the land of nod?

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

I thot maybe someone had bet you you couldn't go Babbleless..... Hi Molly and Welki

6:09 pm

MollyL

That's what I was thinking Wild. A forced sabbatical from the internet, not Babble. Glad you got reconnected.

6:09 pm

wildcat17

almost here. I'm so excited!!

6:10 pm

wildcat17

I would've bet that but I did make it. barely

6:11 pm

Soodle

Hmm. No TV in the Soodle Boudoir, Moll. And my arms are tired from punching the pillows...

6:12 pm

Bugsaw

try sitting outside and breathing in the night air -- unless you live in the heart of a city and the only smell is smog.

6:12 pm

MollyL

A hot bath with good smelling something in it?

6:13 pm

6:15 pm

I agree it went fast! She is in fact nesting. And hoping he arrives soon. We're still in the middle of the record-setting heat wave down here

6:15 pm

wildcat17

She's miserable

6:15 pm

MollyL

Soodle, if your computer is in the Soodle Boudoir...try searching You Tube for guided meditations or deep relaxation. There are some good ones there that might help you drift off.

6:17 pm

MollyL

Ooo, can't wait for the WILD IS A GRAM news. : )

6:17 pm

Soodle

Thank you, Moll. But I have some Soodle-imposed rules.... eg.. No TV and no 'puters in the Soodle boudour. But thanks anyway :-)

6:17 pm

my middle daughter was born in late july .. by the middle of the month, i was riding the lawn tractor around, mowing like a madwoman, hoping the bumpy ride would induce my labor

6:17 pm

6:18 pm

wildcat17

I thought you would've been fishing welk

6:18 pm

welki

<--- thinks soodle should have a nice shot of irish and think about liam clancy

6:18 pm

Bugsaw

Soodle - remember when we were first married... If one of us couldn't sleep, the other one couldn't sleep. and it was fun

6:19 pm

welki

i did live on a trout stream then, but by july, there wasn't much fishing

6:19 pm

MollyL

Well Ms. Boudoir rules...you could try listening to one of those wherever your computer is, and then trying sleep again.

6:20 pm

welki

think i'm going to treat us to pizza tonight .. my reward for grocery shopping and stoutly facing Mt. Laundry

6:21 pm

Soodle

Aw, Bugs...... I remember those days...

6:21 pm

MollyL

*Places gold star on Welki's forehead*

6:21 pm

Bugsaw

6:24 pm

Soodle

6:25 pm

welki

*uhm* could always "fly" solo

6:25 pm

Soodle

Againg?????

6:26 pm

Bugsaw

I am so sorry Soodle to have put my foot in it again!!! I loved not having a Mr Bugsaw for years and now that I have one again, I sometimes wonder what I was thinking! LOL

6:27 pm

Bugsaw

I am a much better person with the second Mr than I ever was with the first. Also, I am much older and don't take guff any more.

6:27 pm

MollyL

Soodle, methinks you are stressing about your meeting tomorrow. Let it fly, and welcome sweet dreams.

6:28 pm

MollyL

Welki suggested something NAUGHTY!!! Good for Welki!!!

6:28 pm

Soodle

\woo Hoo!!!!! Bugs!! I am delighted you found your alternative Mr Bugsaw!!! Absolutely no question of your putting your foot anywhere untoward! (I love happy endings!!).
