Do we have a tivo thread? We're having a problem with our tivo. Earlier today we were watching live tv and all of a sudden the picture went black and sound was gone. We still get the info from the channel on the tv screen, and we could watch the stuff we have tivo'd, but live tv isn't working at all. It's now been about 8 hours and still not working. The tv itself is fine since we could watch the tivo'd shows, it's just live tv through tivo that we're not getting. A couple weeks ago we got a message that our cc info was out of date. We have the bill taken straight out of our bank account and when Darren reported his atm card lost, they cancelled that card. We pay several bills that way and had changed the others and forgot tivo, so that night we changed the information so the cc would be current. Right after we did that, they took the bill for this month out, I know it's not that. Any ideas? We haven't had any problems since we got it set up til tonight and neither of us has a clue whats wrong.

I think there is such a discussion on TiVo, but I'd definitely call to make sure they didn't just screw up and leave you set to be shut off.. would be quite a coincidence to me..

Yeah, I'll call them in the morning if it isn't working right by then. Just seemed so strange because everything else for tivo works just fine, it's just getting picture and sound for live tv that's not working. Oh and the other two tv's work (though neither of them is hooked up to tivo.) It's going to tick me off if it's because of the change in cc #'s since they already took the money from my bank account, lol. I even checked the filter that plugs into the phone jack wondering if maybe that had come out, but it's fine.

Avocados go brown very quickly when the flesh is exposed to air, and that area is probably ok to eat, just not as attractive. If you're talking about a bruise, where the avocado is already brown in parts when you cut it open, then that area's a bit like a bruise on an apple, not as nice, but not bad in a "gone off" kind of way. I only eat the green and yellow bits.

I'm talking about brown that's there when you cut into it. So it's kinda of like the brown in an apple or a banana? It won't make ya sick?

I don't think it would make you sick, but the taste wouldn't be good. Unless it's obviously gone off, in which case I'd think you'd know. But I don't belong to the Avocado connoisseurs club or anything .

No, Julie, it won't make ya sick... it's exactly the same as the brown in a banana. I used to work at a little deli cafe and many, many people would actually ask for the 'almost brown ones' on their sandwiches, cause they spread better and have a nicer texture.

So, Kiersten... these are just the quotes? And then after solving the cryptogram to get the quote, you still need to come up with actor and movie? Or is actor and movie cryptogrammed in there as well?

okay, this will sound funny, but I don't really know what the proper thing is when you have a fever. I seem to have a cold, and normally just take nyquil and sudfed and call it a day, but for some reason this time I am running a fever. Am I supposed to take asprin? or what? Thanks for your help.

Asprin or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) should do the trick. Some people take acetaminifin (Tylenol), but it doesn't work as well as other stuff...

That's what I was coming to say, Cdn! It would be so much easier if there were spacing between the words. BTW, Kiersten -- once you find where one word ends and the next begins, head on over here to a cryptogram solver, which, according to another page about cryptograms, "is heavily based on word-frequency probabilities, and as a result gets the test example 100% right very quickly." Might save you some time... you can sit back and let the machine solve them for you while you giggle at all your cheating friends who ran to others for help! LOL.

OMG, i didn't realize the breaks in the words didn't translate well when i copied it on here. My puter keeps crashing, thats why i haven't been on sooner...thanks for trying to help me out. karen, lol, i tried that one and a bunch of other crypto solvers, none of them worked on these. Please help me. i will leave my email address here so this way maybe i can email you the questions. I will try to copy them here again too. oh i need the quote, then the movie name, and then the actor named on who said the quote after its solved, the quote that is in crypto. thanks so much <it's not really not a safeidea to post your email address Kiersten so I removed it, OK  . It's better to tell posters to check your profile for your email- just in case. It's a lot safer for you that way  - jan>

maybe if i put some comma's where the words break then maybe it might work. 1. C I Y T, Z I, O N W O V L F C I Z Y Y T, V C R O U A P Y, W C I A P I K P G, W Q Z U X, W C P Y K, Q Z B O, Q C C K R F, I J O K, F L !
