In Reply to: How long have you noticed your hard drives lasts when you are on the computer 24/7. My computer is - PAMT
It was a Dell. Got a virus a year ago that screwed it up quite a bit, and just after Christmas it blew up for good. Luckily had a external hard drive and backed up most of my C-drive, though lost about 3 weeks of work....need to get into the habit of backing up weekly. Bought a new Dell wtih XP, quite happy with it.

Mine's getting pretty long. A few years ago I -
had it cut to shoulder length, and hated how few ways I could wear it. It just felt too short. So now I'm doing the "Hair" thing, and just letting it grow 'til it stops. I've got a few grays, but in my family it can take up 'til our 90's to get completely gray. Once it does finally go gray, I might spice it up with some pink/purple streaks in it, just to freak people out.
I have to say mine is pretty normal....
He will look at a gorgeous thin woman and it doesn't bother me in the least. I think I would be more concerned if he didn't. :)
Mine pretty much soaks in immediately but
I have found that if you use a primer it does go on a lot smoother. BE has a face and eye primer that I like a lot. On a side note I just got the eyebrow powder in today and love it!
Good grief - I hope not!!! Mine was not pretty! nm

got mine about 6 years ago on
Home Shopping Network, when the microfiber mops first emerged on scene. Also QVC carries them now. Bought a couple for DILs, and they love them. I have Pergo and hardwood floors, and it does a wonderful job with just water! They show them used on tile floors and no-wax flooring also, works the same. Just call QVC, you'll have it within a week. This is why I work, to pay QVC! LOL.... But am finally get sick of working for them, so have been shopping a lot LESS now.... I would say try it, the mop works the very same as the cloths.
Been doing this for 5 years and mine are yet to know! Let me know sm
when you figure it out!
Have had mine 5 years and it stores just
great...Love it and will never deal with untangling lights again!
i've had mine for almost three years, still works great sm
i leave my monitor on all the time, but it has a "sleep mode" after so long. it's a Dell. actually the whole computer system has been great!
maybe your tiny tower fan inside blew.....
there are vents on the back of the tower - that periodically need brushing out, cleaning out - canned air works well in this/these areas....
there is a tiny fan inside every tower.....maybe it blew? but yes - they need AIR surrounding them - the backs of towers should not be completely blocked....
HTH (hope that helps) 
How about that guy on crack and heroin that won 27 million and blew it all
or should I say snorted/shot it all. That story was so unbelievable it was almost like it was set up as an experiment. Yikes.
what does arthritis feel like? -- blew out my hand
Last night, while simply reaching for a cup of coffee, the entire back of my right hand developed excruciating pain. Stiff real bad right now. It feels like all of the bones from my knuckles to my wrist on the top of my hand are all cramped and grinding. Loaded on pain pills right now, still pain. No health insurance. Could this be arthritis? What's it feel like? --- help
I blew the engine in my truck 7 days after the warranty expired! $7,000 to replace. :( -n/m

My husband is 7.5 years younger. Been together almost 20 happy years...nm

My feelings; people shacking up together for years and years
and then all of a sudden deciding to get married don't need a thing, obviously. A shower should not even be given. I lived with my now husband a while (nowadays who doesn't!) before we married and I also had been married before years ago but he was not....so of course HIS mom wanted a shower. I told her absolutely not unless it was just the immediate family, his mom, sisters, etc, more like a celebration/get together. And so that's what we did. Showers are tacky, period. Unless it's a couple of young kids getting married straight out of the house and that doesn't happen much anymore.
Been with a man 13 years older, now with a man 4 years younger.
Younger is better, at least in my case ;)
Sorry, meant 75 cents. Still, that was years and years ago.

I studied to be a scopist years and years ago
Back in the early 1990s I took a course called Note reader Scopist. They read court reporter notes (those long skinny papers that looks like a cash receipt) and types them into documents. I had found the course through something called At Home Professions but just didn't finish it because it was too expensive for me. But I am familiar with them and even found my book from the first course I took. Looking back I think it would have been a blast if I had kept up with it.
It is definitely legitimate. A lot has changed since the early 90s, so I'm not too familiar with the industry now. I do remember what was really weird was it didn't take a lot for me to learn it. For instance I could look at a line of court notes and see something that looked like: NV p srn - and I seemed to know exactly what it said. Just weird. My DH used to say that I understood it because I was an alien and my ship crashed in Roswell. HA HA HA Anyway...that's what I know about it. But if you Google note reader scopist or at home professions i'm sure you could probably find a lot of info.
I have been vegetarian on/off for 35 years, was vegan for about 5 years sm
not that hard. Right now, I am having so many issues with food allergies and celiac disease, having to give up nightshade veggies...nothing left to eat. I am eating some meat now, but not when the gastroparesis sets in!
Being vegan is not hard...unless you are a celiac. This is how I figured out the celiac part because so many of the meat analogs and vegan packaged foods use gluten for the protein and I got really sick from it. I gave up all the premade things and the whole grains with gluten and I was fine.
There is vegan and then there is VE-GAN. By definition, vegans don't wear, use or consume anything that is derived of animals...no leather shoes, most shampoos and toothpastes are off the list, as are deodorants. No wool or silk. Anything with soap usually has animal byproducts. It is very involved and rather difficult to do.
Giving up meat, eggs and dairy is no big deal, except for cheese. You hear that ad about "comfort proteins" in a baby formula and there is such a thing. Mother's milk, be it human, cow, goat, whatever...contains a chemical that triggers the release of endorphins in the brain so that feeding feels good in more ways than one. The purpose of this is ensure that the nursed young want to nurse and thrive. Human milk has a lot of these, so does cow's milk and cow juice triggers the same reaction in the adult human brain. Cheese is concentrated milk and therefore these chemicals are also concentrated. As a result, cheese is an addictive substance. This is the hardest thing to give up when going vegan. Vegan cheese substitutes are nasty and they don't melt. If a dairy-free cheese melts, it contains casein, an animal protein and not vegan.
I studied this years and years and years ago
Most definitely is legitimate. In the late 1980s I studied to be a note reader scopist through a group called At Home Professions. I loved it, but unfortunately could not continue due to no funds. It was reading the court reporters notes which looked like a grocery receipt with a bunch of letters scattered on it. The weird thing was I found it extremely easy. For instance I would see a line that looked like: av e cr, and for some reason I would know what it said. My DH told me that's because I'm an alien and my ship landed in Roswell. HA HA. Well I know that a lot has changed, after all it's been over 20 years since I took the first course and know a lot of it is computerized now, but it is most definitely legitimate and I've heard people like to do it. I think I remember one of the courses was in medical terminology and another course was in legal terminology. Should be able to find a lot of it on google, or maybe go to your local college if they offer it and talk to an instructor.
that is a pretty big
generalization... you can't know everyone's story and how they ended up with bad credit. There are people out there who are irresponsible and do earn it and sadly many people are also taking advantage of the bankruptcy laws in the same manner, making it harder on those with true misfortunes or catastrophes. But don't stereotype everyone into one group, it isn't fair to do that.
I like that name that's pretty
Have others over, pretty soon will not have
to worry about that with the parents of the other child calling? She said parents almost did not let them come over again. If I were the other parents probably would not think visiting this child would be a good idea on second thought if the husband acting up. I might opt for entertainment for the children somewhere besides where he would be unless he could keep that trap shut.
Pretty much....
The thing is, it's not guaranteed either. It "may" prevent you from getting HPV. The thing is, with regular paps, you can prevent/detect/treat just the same. I just don't feel they have done enough research on this vaccine to have released it and a lot of the severe side effects that have been experienced are really troubling. I know there are side effects with everything but there seems to be an abundance of really severe side effects and some girls have died from it. Also, from what I ready, it is only good for 5 years. They are now saying young women (ages 24 to something, can't remember if it was 35 or 36) should also look into taking it. I would just prefer to stick to my yearly paps as I know they are not going to cause any side effects. Also, as another person stated, we don't know what kind of effects these will produce down the road. It's just scary that they will come up with something, only test it for 6 months, release it and expect it to be made mandatory for girls of certain ages, and without really knowing if there are any long-term effects. Anyway, sorry for rambling. :)
Pretty dog! nm

Fox is so pretty!!! sm
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I think it's wonderful that you posted this information for others to read. I had never heard of dogs tracheas collapsing, so this was new info I learned. Thank you for sharing.
Pretty cat! (sm)
The Christmas packages without bows reminded me of my cat, Flannel, who had a bow fetish. I could never leave wrapped presents around once bows were on because Flannel would sneak in and pierce every bow with her teeth. I saw her do it the first couple of times and she'd close her eyes and chomp with a look of ecstacy. She was a freak. 
Pretty?!?
..She looks like a he-she - she looks manish with a strong jaw. I really don't see where people are calling her pretty.
It's sad, so sad that women will sell their bodies to attain a lifestyle of comfort. It's sad that a man in Gov. Spitzer's position of great power, influence, and celebrity, would buy sex. These characters are examples of the lower base human beings. I don't feel sorry for the girl. I don't feel sorry for the gov. Theirs is a gross and base existence. No souls inside of them. There are plenty of people who rise from abuse, terrible pain and injustice, and became decent human beings and exceptional ones at that. What these two did, anyone can do, common, but most human beings rise above the animal in them. What they did any animal can do. The girl will go on to pose in a nudie magazine, cry about how misunderstood she is, boo-hoo,and make millions. He'll get some type of so-called rehabilitation and all will be forgotten until the next sex scandal. There is a fine line that divides humans and animals. We know what side they were on.
Yep, that's pretty much what I think, too.
We have our little spats but things are pretty good and I wouldn't trade him for anybody else (obviously). 
I'm pretty sure....
the Total Pay card is not affiliated with a bank. It used to be affiliated with US Bank, get 2 free tell withdrawals a month and 2 free ATM withdrawals a month, but they no longer are affiliated with them that I know of. You could probably Google it and find out. I know my friend had one and she could actually put money on it, despite her pay being direct deposited on it. I could never put money on mine, except for the direct deposit of my pay.
Pretty name : )
Thanks for the stats. It is always fun to hear. Not matter which way her hair color goes, I'm sure she will at least have some red highlights. Very pretty!
Another thing I told my daughter is to not take her baby too seriously when he gets into a crying fit. He has a bit of her emotional personality. He will get wound up and then need to scream it out even when he has gotten what he needs. Lol Sometimes it can feel like they are yelling at you or something and gets upsetting (especially when tyring so hard to be a good mother). I told her just realize he has emotions bursting out and just let it happen.
I will say that looking back at when my kids were babies, you can really see their personality right from the start. :)
Ooooh pretty!
Yeah, it is pretty bad, when you
pull out your Stedman's and there's a dust bunny on it larger than the cat! lol
Googling, googling, googling....... away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
It was pretty bad, at one point she was trying
way too hard, did you see her body jerking? It was bizarre. And she still couldn't get it out nearly as good as either one of the other two girls. She's never been a great singer, it's been said often. Just another one that's more show and not so much talent pushed into the biz by her parents. I never really followed her music and have to say I was very surprised she was that bad.
all of those plants are pretty well known -
but how many flower arrangements have lillies - and I had never heard about that. So - no cut flowers either. Nope, he had never had any wet food in his entire life. The vet is still perplexed - we have done renal ultrasounds and blood work. His BUN and creatinines were off the charts. I frankly don't know how he is still alive at this point.
Well said!!! Pretty much sums it up.
I wish more people in the world thought like you. It would be a much better place. =)
Maks is pretty hot too - at least he's
still around.
Feel pretty much the same way
I don't get why people just believe the whole god/bible thing. People tell me it's faith, which is great for them. However, I'm more of a science based, believe it when I see it type of person. The bible to me is just a big book full of fictional stories without fact that people have been brain washed for years into believing. I'm not one to just believe things blindly without questioning, and that's my big problem with religion/faith/god/whatever. In my opinion, it's quite silly to just believe it because someone told you to. People don't normally do that with anything else, but for some reason they will do that when it comes to god. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they are bad for it, I just really don't get it. 
I think Kaitlin is pretty. NM

Fox's is getting pretty ragged
I got him the lavender one. Only one of the squeakers works now, there is a rip in the seam, and it is just generally raggedy-looking. But it's his Bobo! 
Pretty sure he's done that too - no proof (sm)
He admitted it once but then took it back immediately and denied it from then on. So are you still with your husband?
Now THAT's pretty funny--

It is pretty individual sm
I had the same August 29 of last year. I was working on my second day home (not a full shift, but a couple of hours), taking all my vitamins, water and food with no problems since day one and following all of my doctor's orders. I had minor pain, but mostly relieved with Tylenol after three days or so.
Then I see people who said they couldn't work for six weeks, even at a desk job, couldn't eat a thing and went to the hospital after four days for dehydration because they couldn't stomach more than five ounces of water a day.
Good luck and speedy recovery.
Pretty calico!
She looks like a queen to me ... if she wants to march across the counter tops, what are you gonna do?? hehehehe
Admit it...pretty!

...NM up there. I'm pretty much collected out now, though. Got

That's a pretty dog and I'm sorry you got bashed
I know there's zillions of folks that think all dogs and kids should run free doing whatever they darn please 24/7, and they all seemed to have jumped all over you. But I say, thank you for not being one of those people and training your dog - and loving him too!
No...actually he was pretty neglected...
and we were young when we met. He had never recalled being hugged by his mother, no story times... He didn't even know his ABCs and he was 14...The woman left these kids, ages 8 and 4 to live ALONE, while she lived across the street with her boyfriend...Neighbors would drop off food on the doorstep, but no one called social services back then. This woman is a class act. I loved my ex deeply and nurtured him even as a teen and he treated me like a mother figure at times...He still keeps in touch with me and we are close, as we did bond young in life and he had a horrible life.
What a pretty baby....sm
Glad Buck got to spend time with you, even for a little while...He was a real beaut. Cat
No, but Heather is a pretty name. NM
