Joely, I just read that you sent your two little ones on a plane to Denver...awwww. I know that must have been a tough thing to do, but they've landed and all sounds like it's going well...so YAY!

I can't believe your energy level....re-doing the office sounds terrific and I hope that all goes smoothly for you in the next few days. You're an amazing woman!

And to all the wonderful CC posters, including those of you in Canada...

Joley, it's a long url, but here's the site I used to make that silly sign. I'm glad it made you smile on a day that you aren't feeling so much like smiling. (((Joley)))

I had a strange morning, woke up early but crawled back into bed with my knitting and Crittercat and then slept some more and I think because I've been knitting AND reading Zen and the Art of Knitting which is an amazing little book, throw in cozy/chic and trying to get ready to pack, which included finding out I don't have as many quackles as I thought.. I have enough but an awful lot of the are orange!

Anyway I had a convoluted dream that included meeting someone and they were a TVCHer and giving them a quackle, it also included some sort of project with Karuuna and someone else from TVCH, but I had to go off and get some information and when I came back Kar was looking at me and laughing because I had my espresso hoodie robe wrapped sideways over my shoulders like a shawl.. (this makes sense only because I'd been sitting up in bed knitting and readng and when I decided to nap, I couldn't disturb Critter so I just put the robe over my shoulders :-)

The dream had lots of bright color, I think having to do with some of the stuff I'm knitting with.

I'm full of turkey!

Sea ~ there you are! I just finally ate my turkey dinner from Jack n the Box. haha That is so funny about your dream. Time to order more quackles! Same as devil ducks, or no? The boys stole mine and kaden keeps it on his bookshelf. He's very particular about people touching it. "NO TOUCH!" lol My cutie pie... <sigh>

I do have a funny Colorado story to share already. The boys arrived at their great grandma and grandpa's house and Kaden was so excited to see his Grandma Shoe (the name's another funny story) and when his dad said, look Kaden, it's Grandma Shoe, his little reply was "NO! It's not Grandmas Shoe.. not shoe! NO, NO, NO!" I think it's funny. He hadn't seen her in over 1 1/2 years... serves her right! ha

Huk ~ thanks! That is too funny! I love it! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I stayed up all night cooking! Just got a new plasma installed yesterday...love it, but there is a problem.

Has anyone heard of this situation before...no matter what I try, I can not get the color red (or any form of it) to appear on the TV! Only green, blue and yellow! I know it sounds crazy! Believe me, it is not an adjustment thing. I spent hours in the menu trying to adjust the color. The flag is yellow, blue and green. The green is a ugly florescent green too! Do I have a defective Plasma? I have scoured the internet and have found no clues!

Since, I don't have a plasma TV (heck, I can't even afford a Janie robe!), but I found something interesting for you. It looks like this is saying that red might be missing because of the way a DVD player (or similar component) is attached through a RGB cable rather than S video. Hope it's that simple:

Fujitsu has over 300 patents relating to plasma display technology, so they have to be a leader in the field. The PDS4211 is a 16:9 42" screen in a 3.3" thick casing that can be mounted on a wall or stand.
The PDA4211 has both component and RGB video inputs, these BNC connectors, as well as an S input. The RGB connection was used, with 2 extra Sync cables, to connect to the DVP-2200. As source, I used the Toshiba SD4109 DVD player, connecting both its component and S outputs to the Faroudja processor. For whatever reason, probably due to the RGB output configuration, the component picture had no red, no matter what cables I tried, so viewing was, of necessity done with the S cable. In comparing just the luminance of both, I could see no greater detail on the component connection after Faroudja processing, anyway.

Good Morning everyone!

Huk ~ are you still freaked out!? I still haven't gone to that site, but I bookmarked it! I can't wait to play with it after my busy weekend.

Hi Since ~ did you figure it out yet?

Where is everybody... shopping!?

<psst! Robe info in marketplace!>

Hi Joely...yes, I'm still freaked out. I think that I may stay freakish for a few months, but that's another story.

I think that everyone is out shopping, too. I hope no one spends too much on me! hee hee

I'm not shopping. So many of the sales here started at 5am or 6am and I saw a snippet of a news teaser saying some sales were starting at midnight..

Sigh.. actually I should consider venturing out for some new black walking/workout shoes but.. not ready to face THAT.

Have to evaluate what remains to be washed, take the upstairs vaccuum back upstairs, probably vaccuum Angelina's room one more time (she is the absolute PIGPEN of the cat world, seems to strew more food, litter and little shreds from her scratching cardboard things and then that white fur just seems to shed more and stick to things.

Have to evaluate what I'm packing to see what else I need, which suitcase to use.. ACK..

Curves is closed so I don't have to even pretend I'm going, only to blow it off later..

LOL Huked!!!

Good morning everyone!! Come back to the robe thread!!

Joely - I had the weirdest dream that I was lining in a house-type res for university, with 2 other roomies, and while I was at class, they had been painting the room these bright horrible colors, and I had to come in and tell them I had been planning to paint my part of the room tomorrow.

Weird.

I hope painting went well yesterday, and the carpet gets put in quickly. Hey look on the bright side: at least this is getting done while the boys are out of the way and you don't have to worry about them.

Ee~ I could not agree more! I'm planning to make a list of things that I can do while the boys are away! Every time they leave, the tools can be left lying around, paint doesn't get everywhere! Oh, and I can leave my coffee creamer sitting next to the coffee maker for the first couple cups without it being either sipped from or <gasp!> Poured out!!!

Hukd... that's funny! Yeah, and don't go out and spend too much on me either CC friends! Your friendship is enough!

Sea ~ are you looking at those robes for yourself? If so, I'll get the So Cal girls together and arrange that intervention!!!

No, just went and looked to see what colors/sizes they had at Nordie's and to tell that I do think mine is smaller than my other size 1 BD/CC robes..

OK.

Hmm maybe I need a self-intervention?

Sincebb1.. I'm no help either, all I have is a Sony Trinitron that seems new and large to me since it replaced a very long-lived 19" Trintron from the early 80s that didn't even have a remote..

But it does sound either like something is basically wrong OR (more likely) as Hukd suggests something really basic like a cable being loose or switched.

If it hasn't been fixed already, you might ask

Sincebb1 - I do have a (Panasonic) plasma and am not experiencing color problems, so can't help you directly. But in researching before purchase, I found a great forum that covers almost everything plasma. It was the information I read there that led me to purchase the particular plasma we are now so happy with.

It's an audio/video forum and this is the link to their "PLASMA / AND LCD FLAT PANEL DISPLAY" area. I hope you can find some answers there.

Thanks to all, for your input on the plasma problem! I am not shopping! I would never shop on the day after Thanksgiving!!! I would need therapy after! Bad enough I have to work tonight, and I work right next to a big mall. Parking will be impossible!

Hukd~ You had me laughing out loud! The reason I did not answer you is I went to bed right after I posted! I had 2 hours of sleep the night before and I was just finishing up cleaning the kitchen at 3am...only to find I had a slow leak under the sink! With all the dishes and constant running of the water it pushed it's way to the front. I was up until 430am cleaning it up and then I went straight to bed! I could not see straight. I was up again at 9am to call the guy who installed it. Your answer could be right on...it is a Fujitsu Plasma and I also have a Philip's DVD with Faroudja chip too!

Sea~ Thanks for the reminder about the technical thread! Draheid has helped me many a time over the years with computer problems!

Bonza~ Thank you for the site! I have basically been to a bunch of sites and found only one other person that had a semi-similar problem but no one had an answer. It is hard to find any info on this problem...also it can be worded a million ways! Hard to look for! I have not tried this one yet...so here I go again!

I tell you, it was most interesting to watch the Parade without any red!

PS...Joely~ Are you kidding? With all the extra work lately and the holidays you are redoing your office too?!? What vitamins do you take? I will run out and get them immediately! LOL!

Whoa, slap me silly!

Honestly, I'm not peeking in your windows or anything, Since! Was just dumb luck that the article I found matched your equipment. Maybe it's a common problem when you match that particular TV and DVD player.

If I'm psychic or something, please watch my new TV show, Madame Huk's Psychic Hotline. I will not make you pay 12 easy payments of $29.95, because you "knew me when..."

Well, peeking into my windows would not require much at this time...I have no window coverings on them yet (new house). I use the temporary paper blinds, but they always fall down. I am sure the neighbors know me a lot better than they wanted too! LOL! Shutters will be arriving soon.

I have pretty good eyesight (as long as I have my trifocals on), but I doubt I could see into your windows in California, from East of Buffalo NY!!

...but those paper shades are beautiful!

I have a paper shade story: we moved into a new house 3+ years ago, needed something like 40 windows done. No, I am not making up that number. Because of the staggering expense of doing them all at once, we decided to wait on the garage window - hard to describe but it's the side of the garage that faces the street and there is a large window in it. We put the biggest paper shade we could find in that window and got quite used to it. :-)

So, some months later I had our window covering guy back to deal with the garage and he rolled his eyes when he saw the paper shade. He then told me they used to give them out to possible new customers when they would go measure new houses and give estimates. They found people were using the paper shades for so long that they were ultimately not getting the business because of it.

Needless to say, they stopped the complimentary paper-shade giveaway.
