Did any of you last night and into the early morning hours also have the sound cut off only 5 to 10 seconds into the camera feed? It sounds like just a click or static, sometimes the audio comes back, but then "click" and goes away again!!

I noticed it happened often when I just moved my mouse across the screen! I'm on a Mac, so unless we have sound cards (which someone at Realnetworks told me to fix) on Macs, do you have any suggestions or answers or just explanations? Thanks!!!

"Almond".. I know I pron. it Allmond.. but a late great friend of mine happened to grow almonds and she and others like her pronounced the word Amond with the "a" sound like in CAT.. and the "l" was silent. She was originally from Switzerland and spoke several languages ..

But.. just looked in my dictionary and the word does have French origins and the first of two pronunciations is am-end (with the e upside down..) so.. Marcellas may be splitting the difference.. or maybe his mom pronounced it that way :)

You say "toe-may-toe" and I say "toe-mah-toe." Both ways of pronouncing almond are acceptable. There are variations in regional pronunciations as well.

Oh, please, won't someone answer my question? Time posted: 10:34 a.m.

It's (sound going off) happening again and if it's something I can correct, I need desperately to know how to do it!

I cannot read lips!!! (LOL)

Fuddyduddy...I wish I could help you. Does this happen with every sound file or just your BB feeds? Have you tried playing a wav or mpg to see if your sound card is working properly?

I had to fiddle with my control panel year one to get it working right but gosh durn if I can remember.

FuddyDuddy - I would run, not walk, to the Mac users thread in the technical area. There are some pretty bright folks there that might be able to help you out. :)

Thanks, Wcv63 and Karuuna....I spent quite a bit of time there back when Realplayer was on the blink with most everyone.

But the last time I posted there about screeching sounds, got no response. Now I have quick "glitch" sounds.....(am I progressing or regressing? LOL)

Oh well, will mosey on over...tho at this time the crazy feeds are doing okay. Will keep my fingers, eyes and toes crossed! Oops, just happened again as I was getting ready to post this!! ARRRGH

I really need to complain about the viciousness of some of the posters on this board. We are NOT always going to agree. But we ARE always entitled to our opinions.

Just because you (generic poster) don't agree with me, doesn't mean that I am wrong, stupid, or [insert favorite word here]. And no matter how often you try, you will probably not change how I feel or my opinions of any of the HGs.

File Lock, File Lock, File Lock! Just trying to read the boards even. Very frustrating!

I don't understand this file lock thing. I haven't gotten file locks at all except very occasionally when posting - and then it almost always goes through on the second try. Generally only crops up during heavy traffic. Guess I've been lucky.

PS I want to complain about feeling left out.

I would love to complain about posters who want to impose their values on others.

I'd like to complain that I feel as if I have nothing substantial to add to any of the existing conversations on the board. I find myself only mildly curious abuot the houseguests and their shanagens at this point.

Of course, I'm all caught up in American Idol fever which will culminate in a final decision tommorrow. I may get back into BB mode after that.

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a "fanatic" for more than one show at a time.

Wcv, I think you're just showing a great deal of discipline, proving once and for all that you have your addictions under control---ONE at a time is perfectly normal and acceptable behavior. Just ask any of us addicts on the board :).

For those complaining about posters wanting to impose their values on others:

Is it because you have different values? Or no values?

The only way that I see anyone imposing values on you is if you choose to let their opinion change your own. To me, aren't values just your own opinion on how you should live your life?

Maris, I know from your past posts that you and I don't agree politically but I always appreciate knowing how you see things--and never feel it's been imposed on me. And that goes for everyone else...if I don't agree with what I read, I either (1) consider it and move on or (2) move on without any consideration whatsoever.

(BTW, I understand this is a venting thread but I just wanted to mention that some may not feel anyone has the power to impose anything on anyone--unless it's signed into law, of course.)

My vent, however, is how Lisa & Dannie always seem to cook dinner. They're there with 3 single guys and a gal who MUST be able to feed themselves somehow on the outside; how come they don't seem to share in the preparation (other than the essential male skill of grilling)?

It's the WANTING ("to impose their values") part of the behavior that bothers me. Naturally people have their own values, and I agree that no one is going to impose their values on me, but the "wanting" part of the equation leads several posters on these boards to post repeatedly and, often, aggressively about their values and the superiority of their values over anyone else's. I think it's extremely annoying.

I agree Mystery. I think some posters simply refuse to think that others may feel differently. (And I swear, some of those posters follow me around! <grin>)

Marcie, I figure Jason as the type to eat home a lot. I figure Marcellas as the type to eat out a lot. I figure Roddy as the type who would do whatever so that he doesn't have to cook. So, no, I don't see any of those three men cooking much. Although Jason made a mean lookin' omelete yesterday a.m. (for his b'fast).

Mystery....it is kind of like the saying "Those who preach the loudest about Freedom of Religion are really preaching about your freedom to practice their religion.

I'm tired of seeing posters, in an effort to defend their favorite HG, make every thread come back to that HG. They may call the posters hypocrites or say something to the effect of "well if so and so did that I'm sure you would bash he/she to death" etc. This is driving me crazy! Fact is that most posters here seem to be able to see both positive and negative traits of the HGs. When comments are made that relate to the thread title and the poster is bashed for it based on a supposition that if you like/dislike one HG therefore you must like/dislike another it gets ridiculous! There is gray people - not just black and white. Thanks, I feel better now :)
