Whit4you | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Twinkie - I'd still be using DOS if I didn't have to convert for my clients in the mid 90's lol. Nuttin better then the C prompt...> |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 07:48 pm     Oh, hell, Whit - I STILL use DOS for my legal paperwork. Can't have it online for ethics purposes, easier, it NEVER breaks down, why change? |
Whit4you | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 07:58 pm     Goddess - I used more cuss words in a day converting to Windows - then in 20 years prior... oh my gawd and don't even get me started on my conversion to friggen Win98... I refused to friggen let friggen Microsoft CONTROL MY COMPUTER .. IN MY OWN HOUSE... oh boy... did I fight it ... re'f'in'-format after re'f'n'format .. till I FINALLY gave in. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I want to do things on MY COMPUTER in MY OWN WAY and how I WANT THEM DONE... but if you want Win98 to work... you eventually figure out that ain't gonna happen. If ya'll could have been a fly on the wall during the week or two that I fought Microsoft on my computer... omg... yell...scream... throw my keyboard and pick it up and throw it again and again and scream and cuss and yell and grrrrr... I was BORN in control... and being a subbie to Microsoft was NOT something I wanted to do... but in the end I gave in... after the 10th or so reformat.... I'm gonna shut up now I could rant about this for hours....LOL. |
Twinkie | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 07:59 pm     Whit, there's not much difference between win95, win98, win2000, winME, and winXP. I know. I used to do tech support for a living. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 08:04 pm     Twinkie - guess you'd have to be a total control freak to understand the difference between 95 and 98 |
Spygirl | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 08:38 pm     1. I think this thread is easily de-railed 2. I found out what the pay scale is for the job I got called about -- it is not very good. But, there are some other perks that may work out fine (i.e. the ability to do private practice from my university office - no overhead costs) 3. I could be interviewing there by February according to the phone conversation my major prof had with the committee chair today. 4. I have not touched my dissertation this week. That is not good. 5. I am up way past my bedtime right now. 6. I had planned on responding individually to everyone who had posted about Jessie, my surgery, and my job call, but I added up the number of people that was.......and I would have gotten flogged for spamming the board! LOL...instead, I am gonna take a few days and write something in the "to everyone" folder. |
Sage | Tuesday, January 07, 2003 - 10:27 pm     1. I August, my husband and I will be celebrating 25 years of marriage. 2. I have to do some research and figure out where we want to go for our anniversary. 3. We have talked about going to the Oregon coast, where we had our honeymoon, or go up north to the San Juan Islands, or Vancouver Island in Canada. 4. My daughter ran out of gas a half mile from the gas station on her way to work. I went to rescue her. 5. At her work, her ex BF - they work in a family owned business - told her he was dis-owning her and their daughter, and he called her all kinds of profane names all throughout the day making everyone there uncomfortable. 6. Later in the afternoon, she called me and said her tire got slashed by him though no one can prove it. 7. I think he is mentally sick, and sometimes I get worried about all of our safety, but especially my daughter's. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 07:08 am     1. I only drink one cup of coffee a day, first thing in the morning. 2. My dh drinks it all through the day and into the evening. This worries me. 3. Although, I think I might be addicted to Snapple peach ice tea 4. I wish I was one of those people who knew just what to say to make others feel better, without even having to think about it 5. I have empathty for many here, but it gets stuck in my heart and I can't express it 6. So, when I give people {{hugs}} know it means more from me than just a post 7. I also laugh out loud and giggle and smirk and agree with so many posts. Not to meantion all the informative information that is posted here. What a rich tapesty you all weave. To think this board was started as a place to discuss Big Brother, and now look what everyone here has created, wonderful. 8. I'm also proud of the rich Irish wake we gave to MsAvery, what a group! {{hugs}} to all. |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 07:36 am     1. I am at home puttering away at the computer. 2. I think that Sage's daughter needs to get away from that guy...is it mental illness or drug/alcohol abuse that causes his outbursts. 3. I am bogged down in making too many travel plans right now. But I love it! 4. It is a very gray day today! 5. I am enjoying my college break time, but am feeling lots of pressure to finish things (dissertation, syllabi, grants, etc.) before school starts. 6. I'm really hoping that next semester will be better than last semester. 7. I would really like to read MsAvery's obituary from a newspaper...just to see what it says, and to see how they "sanitize" it. There was an obit for a 91 year old female army vet (nurse) in our paper today, and it reminded me of Avery. It even told of some of her war stories. 8. I think that I have too many piano students, but there is such a lack of teachers around here, I feel somewhat oblidged. There are only a few who are a pain right now, so that's not too bad. 9. I will need to get a new car sometime in the next year...any suggestions....I just want a little car that is reliable, can go up and down hills and has great gas mileage. I've had 4 Chevy Cavaliers and a Cadilac Cimmaron (same body type) so I think that I'm stuck in a rut! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 07:41 am     I agree about Sage's daughter, run like the wind! Marm, Car posted that she liked her little Kia SUV, and it was affordable and reliable. I hope a pic is posted of MsAvery with her obituary. |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 07:55 am     1. I have had such little free time to post 2. I miss it here 3. My show is in less than 2 weeks 4. I am crazied 5. I have so much to do still but I will get it done 6. Somehow 7. It's 8AM and already need a nap 8. I have a feeling that something big will come from this show 9. I miss my kitties when I work this much 10. Sorry for the short facts... I just wanted to check in and say Hi! |
Zeno39 | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 09:09 am     1. I am going crazy without chocolate, which I am giving up to lose weight. |

Whoami | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 12:16 pm     1. My dog talks in his sleep. 2. I was two months premature, and weighed 4 pounds at birth. 3. Nobody has tried to guess what I look like in the personality thread. |
Fanny | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 12:17 pm     <who honey maybe because you've posted your pic in your profile?!> lol edited: oops it's not there any more! but it was for a long time, wasn't it? |
Whoami | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 12:19 pm     heeeheee, could be Fanny. But, I did just change it now too! I think I look a lot better now, don't you?  |
Kady | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 12:25 pm     1. I love candles and burned one in honor of Miss Avery yeasterday. 2. I'm wondering what show Moon is talking about.(I'm curious just like a cat) 3. Marm should try a Camry. I had one as a loner one time and fell in love with it. 4. Who's dog talks in his sleep? That one has me puzzled. Shouldn't it be barks in his sleep? Hmmmm. |
Whoami | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 12:28 pm     <nope, he talks in his sleep! This dog is one evolution away from forming human speech. He woofs, ooohhs, whufs, whaa whaas, etc. One of these days, I'm sure he'll just out and out talk! In his sleep he barks, whines, whoofs, whimpers, etc. Carries on quite a conversation I suppose! Just because I don't know what he's saying, doesn't mean he's not talking!> |
Jbean | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 03:09 pm     1. i haven't been here in a few days, that was weird for me. 2. i quit drinking soda to lose weight (or not gain any more), and i would kill for a dr pepper right about now! 3. i HAVE to go workout tonight, and don't want to because star search starts tonight....but i'm going anyway. 4. my alterego friend and i ended up dressing alike (not planned that way) at work and got teased endlessly about it. 5. we had on aubergine shirts and black pants. see, we really are alteregos... |
Whit4you | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 03:25 pm     1) I'm determined to teach 10 of you peeps to learn to FTP... 10 minutes!!!!! Check the "FTP" thread lol. Course it'll take an hour to read the thread now hehe. 2) 1 down ... 9 to go. Zacks was first to try FTP and was successful in 5 minutes woohoo. 3) I offered a proposition to entice peeps to try it. 4) I wonder what Lance is thinking about it all LOL. 5) I really enjoyed posting those Avery posts - made me feel like she is still here in a sense. 6) My house is a totaaaaaaaaal mess - HELP! |
Twinkie | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 03:45 pm     1. I'm mostly lefthanded but also ambidextrous. 2. I've often wondered if that's because of taking piano lessons at a young age or if I was born that way. 3. I spent today proofreading and correcting cover letters for hubby's resume. He sent out about 15 today. 4. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed Joe Millionaire. 5. I love burning candles and have at least 2 burning at any given time. 6. One of my cats is totally enamored of water. We can't leave a glass of water unwatched or it ends up on the carpet. 7. He will also jump in the shower with you. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 04:12 pm     1. I always thought being left-handed would be cool. 2. I can draw people really well. 3. My cats like to drink water out of coffee mugs; if I put down water in both a bowl and a mug, the bowl will remain untouched until the mug is empty. 4. Yesterday I started tutoring a deaf immigrant from Haiti who has very little communication skills whatsoever; in just two days it has become an extraordinarily humbling and gratifying experience. 5. I want the Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl this year, knock on wood. 6. I have seen Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets three times since it was released. 7. I wish that I could be the Hogwarts librarian. 8. I would like to learn to belly dance. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:00 pm     1. darn, i had soo much to say and now my mind is a complete blank. 2. i think marm should try a honda or toyota, i actually have a nissan maxima. 3. i love it, sometimes, but now it leaks during a steady rain, needs a tune up, and a new headlight. 4. i want a new car but have another year left on my payments and don't know if i want a car, or a truck. 5. i need to be in bed right now. 6. i had a training class all day today which was boring as he**. 7. wtf is ftp? 8. im thinking of joining the book club, but i like to read what i want, when i want. i love to read, but, i don't know. 9. if i hate a book, then i don't finish it. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:14 pm     aww come one Square! I'd love to hear your opinion in our book club. =) FTP allows a person to transfer files either from their own computer to the internet, or from the internet down to their computer. You can also download from a person's home computer, too. (As Whit is allowing people to do) FTP is mainly used when uploading and working on a web page. You work on your web page and then upload it to the internet using an FTP program. It really is an easy thing to do. If you've ever loaded a picture here at TVCH, then you've sort of got the idea of how it works. |
Cyn | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:24 pm     1. I wrecked six cars while suffering from growing pains. 2. I was young and had a fire lit inside of me to Live - it's still there - just refined a bit more now. 3. I thought rules were to be broken, and they were created so things wouldn't get boring. 4. When I finially was able to take off on my own and see the hidden communities within our communities, I was devastated at the extent of the poor in the US and felt let down by everyone for letting this transpire. 5. I wanted nothing to do with anything that had to do with society whether it be to make it better or make it worse. 6. I was disgusted with everything. 7. Now I see there are no black & whites - everything has a million shades inbetween. 8. "Hiding from the world will not give you any sort of peace." Virginia Woolf - I believe this. 9. My doggie is talking right now while he's probably chasing that little girl from across the street in his dreams. 10. I can drive now without wrecking and use FTP sites all the time. |
