22576. Ms. No - 9/3/2007 8:30:52 AM I'm so glad to hear Leslie's on the mend --- now put that foot up and YOU get better too!!!
Hi Cos!!
Hi Patsy!!
Howdy all!!
22577. Ms. No - 9/3/2007 8:36:06 AM Classes start for me on Tuesday and I'm scrambling to get my laptop loaded the way I want it. Turns out you can't get a new PC anymore that doesn't have Vista. It's taking some getting used to, but I think that's mainly because it comes direct from the factory with a bunch of crap loaded on it that I don't want to have anything to do with.
So I'm going through and disabling and uninstalling all the 30 and 60 day trials of software I don't want. The main irritant right now is that I haven't yet figured out how to strip all the Yahoo insta-crap out of my browser toolbar.
And Vista apparently doesn't like my antivirus software either, but I already kicked Norton to the kerb so I'm waiting to find out what the dealio is with Panda. I have a feeling it's just that they aren't Vista compatible yet.
Not much of a worry at this point. I don't need the laptop to get online since I've got my connection at home. What is cool is that once I get my virus protection up and working there are enough unsecured wireless networks around me that I can get on pretty much anywhere I go. 22578. judithathome - 9/4/2007 3:39:09 AM I didn't understand any of that post, No...computaphobe here. 22579. prolph - 9/4/2007 5:11:47 AM judith at home; i was touchted by your son's having back his dog,
what is the dog's name and bread? you are of couse both on the
morning list- don't stay too long. love patsy 22580. judithathome - 9/4/2007 12:41:40 PM Patsy, his dog is an Alaskan husky named Mallie...because he thought she was a Malamute at first. She has one blue eye and one dark one...I think she's a mix of husky and Malamute, myself.
He can make her "talk" to him...she sounds just like she's carrying on a conversation.
He told me yesterday that he is bewildered as to why he was so hateful and rude while in the hospital...said as soon as he's able, he's going up there to apologize to the nurses on ICU. He did so to me already. ;-) 22581. judithathome - 9/4/2007 1:41:03 PM Well, last week I sent a "cookie bouquet" to the nurses at ICU and now, my son wants me to send an Edible Design bouquet of "fruit flowers" to the nurses at the station where he had a private room for two days.
I've no idea what is in store for the physical therapists once he finishes up with that...but I think he can do that one on his own. 22582. judithathome - 9/4/2007 1:51:03 PM Here are the websites for the two companies:
Edible Arrangements
Cookies By Design 22583. judithathome - 9/4/2007 3:07:46 PM We had breakfast for dinner last night, Arky...you knw what THAT means...I'm having leftover biscuits for breakfast this morning!
Keoni did a casual version of Ronnie's casserole...just did it all in one skillet. Pretty darned good considering he was winging it. 22584. arkymalarky - 9/5/2007 1:56:41 AM Oh yum! I'm full-fledged dieting now, trying to undo the summer's damage. I've about got to where I was in CO.
Great to hear Leslie's doing so much better! 22585. wabbit - 9/5/2007 2:12:15 AM JaH, there is also the Fresh Fruit Bouquet Company, an upstart similar to Edible Arrangements. I like those fruit arrangements, they make a nice change from flowers. Glad to hear your son is on the mend.
Hey Patsy!
Hey vonK! 22586. judithathome - 9/8/2007 7:33:19 PM Where the hell IS everyone? 22587. arkymalarky - 9/8/2007 10:39:24 PM I'm here, just sick with a cold. Stayed home Friday.
How's Leslie? 22588. judithathome - 9/9/2007 2:10:21 PM Way too stubborn...now, he WANTS to be an in-patient for rehab. 22589. Magoseph - 9/10/2007 3:09:31 PM
HAU OLI LA HANAU KEONI!
22590. judithathome - 9/10/2007 6:59:49 PM That's the cheeriest thing that has happened for him today, Magos! He was supposed to play in a golf tournament with the Big Boss from Denver but woke up to horrific thunderstorms and it's STILL raining. It was called off and he's very blue so I showed him your message and he said to tell you Mahalo! 22591. alistaircoNnor - 9/10/2007 7:04:29 PM Posting from a playstation... just to prove it can be done... wont make it a habit 22592. Ms. No - 9/11/2007 4:48:19 PM Happy Anniversary to the MOTE!!! 22593. alistairconnor - 9/11/2007 5:04:04 PM Ah yeah I remember now... Happy birthday to us.
Gee that was strange posting with a Playstation... I felt like Stephen Hawking (though not as smart.) 22594. judithathome - 9/11/2007 8:16:42 PM I don't even know what a PlayStation is...I thought you meant you were on a laptop at topless bar or in a sandbox at a playground. 22595. Ms. No - 9/11/2007 9:54:37 PM A sign of the modern age: surfing porn on a laptop while sitting in a topless bar.
