wireless mouse and keyboard sm
Does anyone have any problems with theirs? When we press on an icon or something in the browser it seems to take a long time. I find the computer freezes up at time. I told my husband maybe is is the wireless equipment. He tells me know. I only have had it since Xmas.
TIA
Not quite the same thing but I use a wireless - sm
aircard by Sierra Wireless--AirCard 875U, it plugs in the USB port. I pay about $67 a month for it. I use it for my internet connect obviously but you could use it for just what you are looking for too, though what you have in mind is probably cheaper.
I think it is a definite plus!
I work early in the morning, too. In my jammies. Then I go from jammies to sweats to work out or clean or whatever between my shifts. I have heard some people say they get dressed and put on makeup to work at home, but I personally never saw the point. The dog and cats are the about the only ones who see me during the day and I don't have to do anything to impress them except feed them! 
Nothing definite, but since he's home with you most of the time
hopefully you will be able to keep him. Perhaps you can repay your husband the amount he paid for him? Good luck, I hope you can keep your dog.
Not make definite plans ....
Third grandbaby is due any day.
WIRELESS NETWORK!!!- sounds like you are getting hacked (for lack of a better term)
You need to secure your network. Check outside your home at these times for a strange car. A neighbor with a teenage boy or girl using a wifi connection to access your network getting on a porn or gaming site that bills via a VOIP dial-up It can be done.
you want to make sure they cant access you need to secure your network with passwords and such and turn your router off at night when you go to bed no wireless = no connection.
Hope this helps feel free to email if you need some more info.
oops .. Not making definite plans (NM)
:)
Thanks for the tip about batteries
we just bought a second guitar tonight and me & my husband are both playing together now. It totally rocks (no pun intended). We're loving it!
Does it come with the batteries or do I need to get some?

I don't think they come with batteries.
And stock up now while they are on sale because my kids go through them like crazy...
The Wiimotes take 2 AA batteries.
Alternatively, you can purchase a charging station that will recharge the controllers.
Anyone with digital camers do you take the batteries out when not using or leave them in. nm
:
I use rechargable batteries and save a lot of money.
x
LOL. It doesn't plug in. It runs on batteries.
It has some kind of sensor in it and it can only be used with certain books.
These things called batteries...they power your radio. nm

Got new digital camera, resistent at first and now those darn batteries
am having loads of fun taking my furkid's pictures. The question I have is my batteries have already played out after a very short period of time. What do most of you do regarding keeping a supply of batteries around. Do you have ways to prolong the life, do you buy loads at a time, do you buy in bulk? Thanks.
Any chance a mouse is somehow
caught in the fan? Although when this happened to my mother's, it caused it to quit running and she had to call a repairman. On discovering the problem, she heard him muttering to himself, "Why me? Why me?"
the infamous house mouse
Get one of those "kind" traps. They're a metal container that the mouse can get into but not out of. Put some food inside (they love peanut butter) and then check the trap once a day. You can hold it up and peak inside. If you see any mice, take it out to a field and release them.
my cat does this toy mouse-fetch thing too and
Mighty Mouse - Here I come to Save the Day!!
Use your mouse to move the cursor
up through the maze, all the way to the box at the end. Once you've done it without touching the sides, it'll progress to the next maze which is more difficult. 
I had a mouse get in my double oven many
years ago and get electrocuted on the wiring. Needless to say the kitchen smelled like something dead for DAYS. I tore the room apart and never found it. When we took the front electrical panel off 3 months later to replace a report, there it was! Looked like it was crucifed. All bones and they all fell out all over the stove. Yuk.
Right?! It's like what the last thing a mouse sees.
 14 pounds eh? She's just big boned! Those vet bills are killer, aren't they?! Our boy, Norman, the MaineCoon look-alike who went missing, twice had crystals or ash in his urine that required 2 emergency vet visits and catheterization or else his bladder would have ruptured. Those bills combined were over $800...and the darned cat was a STRAY we picked out of the dumpster of the apartment building we were living in at the time. Nosiree...ain't nuthin' for free I tell ya! They are so worth it though and I really do think they appreciate all that we do for them.
It I not mistaken, when mine did this my mouse
was going bad. Can't remember exactly, but I do know this is the not the original mouse I had when I first got this computer.
We had a mouse a couple of months ago
and we have 2 indoor cats that definitely did nothing to scare the mouse. We could hear it scratching when things got really quiet but he was very tricky about moving around and totally avoiding the traps. We got a plug in device called Pest OFFense. It is about the size of a garage door opener. It does have lights on it so we know it was working but it does not make a noise that we can hear. Within a few days we heard nothing and saw absolutely no evidence of a mouse.
samantha. mouse or keyboard?

No, I wouldn't do that. Why playing cat and mouse?
It is your husband's duty to settle this in a way that the wife and the father are both content.
Wasn't she on the Micky Mouse Club?
I thought I read that somewhere.
My female cat plays fetch with her toy mouse
runs to get it, picks up in her mouth, and returns/drops it at your feet. So cute! She also sometimes cries very loudly over and over when I have the oven on as if she is in distress. I have no idea why! Any ideas? LOL. My male cat sits in the window and talks to the birds, a very odd chirping sound he only does with the birds. They're just too cute sometimes!
A 'Panic Mouse' battery-operated toy is great - sm
for young, frisky cats. Mine has kept 2 consecutive cats occupied, but currently it's set aside with a wire that came loose inside the it doesn't run. (Have to get my brother to take a look at it.) I also have a cat-video, but kitty has to be in just the right mood to watch it. She also enjoys GOLF!
Try rotating cat-toys. If they lose interest in some of them, hide them for a while, and when you bring them out a couple weeks later, it's like they're brand-new to the kitties sometimes! I also made a toy that hangs in a doorway. I sewed a mini-mouse to the end of a long shoestring, attached to a stretchy ponytail holder and then to another shoestring (the ponytail holder gives it some fun rebound when the pull on the mouse and then let go). It's hung from the middle of the doorway by a small nail. That, too, sometimes has to be set aside, but when it's kitty's toy of choice for the morning, it sure has her jumping high!
Finally, I feed the birds, squirrels and hummingbirds outside my bedroom window, and the cats like to sit on a tall dresser next to the window and watch them.
Back when I used to work away from home all day, I used to hide cat-treats in various places throughout the house for my cat to hunt for during the day. My first cat could find them ANYWHERE... her nose was like radar. My second cat, however, had to have them always hidden in the exact same places, or he couldn't find them. Still, it was a nice diversionary tactic I used just before I headed out the door each morning.
At other times I put odds and ends on my kitchen table intentionally for a bored cat to come along and knock off the edge. (Plastic spoons, an eraser, pens or pencils, hair clips, cat toys, hair scrunchies, etc.)
Got a computer question. I have a mouse with a wheel on top but what I have noticed lately is the
screen you are typing on will sometimes keep rolling down by itself. Is this a mouse problem or computer problem. It just keeps moving down by itself.
Anyone know where you can buy accessories for a Kodak digital such as Kodak batteries, SD card,
carrying case, etc. all at one place. Thanks

Thank you so much...I needed that. nm

I needed this
I read this today and loved it: If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Thank you!! That is EXACTLY what I needed to know sm
I have 2 dogs, one who is VERY furry and I was concerned about dog hair cloggage.
Thanks for taking the time with all the great info :-)
Yes, he needed to go.
I don't know how Scott stayed in as long as he did. Nowhere near the talent of the others, although I believe the the two top contestants are Adam and Alison, who are miles above the rest. I think Adam is an amazing talent and should win. He is the only reason I am watching AI this season. Otherwise, it has gotten extremely boring. I never did understand the enthusiasm for Danny Gokey. Good voice, but he does not appeal to me at all.
You may not believe this and probably will not but thought you needed some help the other day
as I was reading the posts. You certainly came across not just as a person who was grieving but with the last post about the person committing suicide, I was thinking this does not sound exactly right. If I felt depressed and/or suicidal and felt like I could not handle things, your emergency room would probably see you and refer you to someone and then you would probably wind up waiting again. I doubt they would do anything specific for you. There are some 800 hot line crisis centers you can call.
Thanks so much to you all. I KNEW I needed help! :-)

FOOD IS NEEDED!
I volunteer at a food cupboard twice a month. Today I went in to fill requests for families in need, and the shelves of our little interfaith cupboard were nearly empty. It was a struggle to get together some basic items for four families.
This is a problem with food cupboards all over the country. At holiday times, food drives are held and shelves are full. Even during the school year, more donations come in as school and youth groups run food drives to help those in need. But during summer, donations slow to a trickle as people are busy with summertime activities or away on vacation. Food drives are forgotten, but people still need your help.
If you can, please consider donating to your local food cupboard. Anything you can give would be appreciated. Even a couple boxes of cereal or a jar of peanut butter can make a difference!
Thanks again so much..I needed to hear this.
A day doesn't go by that I don't pray for a miracle. As the obvious enabler, I just always feel if I helped her just this one last time, this would be the time she turns it all around and I want to be there for her. Everything positive she does, I praise her, only to be crushed the next minute for it was just a mirage. It wasn't really there. Every night I have gone to bed saying a pray that we can just get through another day, and honestly, some days, I wasn't sure that I wanted to wake up. I just couldn't do it one more minute. When you love someone with everything you have and realize it still is not enough, that right there is the most devastating feeling ever. For every tear she has cried, I've cried thousands. I try to be strong so she thinks I am uncaring. If only she could see or feel what I feel inside. If love could have saved her, she would be. I am going to put it in God's hand because I have nothing left to give. Everyone wonders how and why I have survived and gone through what I have..and honestly, I have no idea. I hate the thought that it has become such a habit that I just expect it. I wait for the calls to come every day, as they will, on the next crisis. I wait for my day to be ruined and that is one of the reasons that I chose to work at home. I was embarrassed when she would call me 15 times at work, even though I told her not to, or she'd show up. Just barge through my office. I've gotten beyond what people think, but I know my friends understand and love me for me. Thanks for listening. Another dark day. Sadly, I have had to pretend to be on vacations so she won't come around trying to manipulate me but then she calls me nonstop on my vacations to send her money. It honestly never stops and I don't think it ever will. Please everyone say a prayer for me...
OMG! Thanks for that. Needed the laugh!!!

Thank you so much for your kindness. It's just what I needed sm
right now. I've never been one to have the "victim mentality" although I can see how my post probably came off that way. They never gave me a chance from the start so you hit it right on when you called it a tribe mentality. I think a lot of it is jealousy - as my mom points out - I had that a lot growing up because I tend to get along with everyone - not a jealous bone in my body - and I can tend to irritate those who "don't like everyone" or who have sour attitudes.
When the poster said that she found it hard to believe that all 3 hate me for NO REASON I didn't want to respond because they do hate me for no reason. If you were to ask them why they don't like me or want me around their answer is, "just because I don't."
Anyways, your post was very kind and I am thankful for it. God bless you!
Gift help needed....
For my hubby's company Christmas party this year, we need to take a wrapped gift ranging in price of $18 and $22. They are doing the "everyone pick a gift" sorta thing. So, it will need to be for male or female, ranging in ages from 20-60. See my dilemma? I am thinking a gift card wrapped in a huge box. LOL
I would appreciate your suggestions!
Thanks!
No electric needed.
If they sleep together, they dont need electric heat, body heat will be enough. I would build a "cave" of strawbales, toss in some loose straw and there ya go. I wouldnt use blankies as if they get wet, they will freeze. Like lying on an ice cubes Mostly, dogs just need to be out of.the wind. If they dont sleep together, just build 2 caves. Either way, should be snug so body heat will build a pocket of warmth around dog.
sweet....I needed that

opinion needed
(some background info) My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years, been together for 15 years. He has a friend whom he has been friends with since high school. His friend is married and we have become somewhat friends as a couple. I really don't like these people but I have NEVER let them know this. Its really that I don't respect the things that they do, on the other hand they are very nice and would do anything for you so I tolerate them. They have a garage that is full of pictures of naked girls so I don't allow my children in there (my husband doesn't get this but that's another issue altogether) and they are very "sexual" with each other regardless of who is around them (again I don't like my children seeing this). Needless to say unless I can find a babysitter for my kids I don't generally like to go to their house. Well my husband turned 40 last week and this couple wanted to take him out for his birthday. Apparently they started planning this with my husband a few weeks before his actual birthday. My problem is I wasn't invited. I could see if it was just the guys but the fact that the husband and wife were taking my husband out along with another friend (male) and I wasn't invited bothers me. It immediately made me think that they were taking him to a strip club (which I don't like him to go to, again another issue in itself). My husband wasn't going to go but then Friday he decided he was going. I once again asked him who was going and he said the couple and a friend, still not invite for me. I confronted him with it when he got home from work and told him that I wasn't mad at him but very irritated with the fact that I wasn't invited. He replied that maybe his friend didn't think I could get a sitter to go out (which I am very fortunate and I NEVER have any problems getting a sitter) but that he wouldn't go. He didn't say "geez hon, of course your invited, lets get a sitter and both go", nope he just said "i won't go". A week or so before this he went to this friends house for a football game/party, again I wasn't invited, my husbands reply was "well you don't like football", I feel I should have been able to make my own decision as to whether or not I wanted to go whether I like football or not. Then today for the superbowl my husband tells me he is giong to a party at a coworkers house and then he will be home. Then later a friend of his comes to the house and she's gonna go with him oh but no they aren't going to the friend's house they are going to a different friends house, then the pub and then will be home by halftime, too bad I have to work and can't go. I guess at first I thought it was the first friend who wasn't inviting me and now I'm thinking my husband just doesn't want to be around me. What would you do? I have stayed very calm through all this but its really grating on my nerves now and I was hoping to get some opinions. Thanks so much...
I definitely needed him a few weeks ago.
Definitely HOT. What did you think of the season finale?
Thanks for the site! Just what we needed! (nm)
Why did they say your dog needed a bath?
I just throw my collie mix outside when it rains and maybe take him to the groomer 2 or 3 times a year. If he was rolling around in mud and dead animals, that would be different.
LOL. Thanks. I needed that after the morning I just had. nm
