In Reply to: I finally had to dump my butler. It's such a drag fetching my own paper. sm - TechSupport
but not in a good way. Your humor makes me laugh! Hope your wife didn't stay mad long. Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married. Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with 
Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!

Well, I don’t scream but if a
dog picked me up in his mouth, I might do the same. Have been around frogs but never heard one do this.
Couldn't you just scream?
Have had professional painters do the inside of my homes at different times. They all said NOTHING gets paint out of carpet.
I would call the kid's mom and tell her. It probably won't do any good as far as the carpet goes, but I would be sure and tell her that her child was not welcome in your home anymore.
I know it makes me want to scream...sm
Nobody takes my job seriously. If I am working my husband has been known to call and say I need you to look something up on the computer or give me so and so's phone #.
My parents divorced last year and my mom who I love dearly and would do anything for me gets lonely in the evenings when she comes home from work. Well I work in the evenings. She will come over but when she sees I'm working she is pretty good about going on about her business. My son will answer the door for her so I don't have to get up and then she says oh you are working. Well I will go. See some evenings I have work, some not.
My dad, on the other hand, is a complete nutcase who has no respect for anyone and no consideration. He will call my phone repeatedly while he KNOWS I am working. I have answered before and said I'm working, can't talk so he will quit calling. Nope. He will call you 10 minutes later. I actually changed my # due to him calling repeatedly when I would say I am working. My husband even answered the phone and told him she is working. I'll tell her to call you back later. 10 minutes later he calls back. My husband says what is the deal? I had give him my # again after changing it because he got sick and I felt obligated to give it to him in case of an emergency. I said but do not call my phone repeatedly. Well he is right back to the repeated calling. So I just turn it off now.
So when you don't answer he just comes and knocks and knocks and knocks. Tonight I didn't answer one time when he came and knocked cause I was working and don't know that I would have answered it if I hadn't been. So he leaves and comes back 30 minutes later drives up to my office window (which has a curtain) and shines his headlights in the window and starts blowing the horn. I was SO ticked off. He doesn't care if you don't want to be bothered or not. I went to the door and said WHAT DO YOU WANT? I AM WORKING. Which he knew anyways. I am just gonna have to start not answering calls at all. Not answering the door. If he shines his lights in my office I will just have to ignore it and keep typing. (Like that will be easy to do w/out going to the door and cursing him out.)
Oh well, that is my life. Sorry so long.
Anyone ever heard a frog scream? sm
At 3:30 this morning I woke up to what sounded like a cat fight in my hallway. There was a bit of hissing and that meow/screaming sound a cat will make. I knew it couldn't be my cats, they never fight. One of my cats (using the doggy door) brought in a small frog. Not the first creature he has brought in, have had moles, birds, and frogs before. He doesn't actucally kill them at least not until he plays (tortures) first. He picked the frog up in his mouth and the frog screamed. I was stunned. I managed to get the frog away from the cat and he really didn't seem hurt just traumatized. I let him out the front door (cat only goes in the fenced in backyard.) Just thought this was a weird story and wanted to share. 
I've heard a catfish scream, but never a frog

Oh! Head in the SAND! I thought you said head in the CAN!

Very low-tech fix
I take a soft beach towel and fold it until it is the height and length of the keyboard. Then I place it on desk in front of the keyboard. It supports my wrists and forearms and is nice and soft and cushy. When it flattens, I just throw it in the washer and it is good to go.
You wish,,,, ROFL. You can say anything

ROFL!
I'm sorry but that was just too funny. I'm not buying into this whole Michael faked his death BS. Come on. Elvis died and now Mike is gone....get over it.
VA tech shooting
OMG who absolutely awful. God help those poor families in their grief. So far 22 dead and 21 wounded as well as the gunman. What on earth possesses people to do atrocities like this? I just cannot fathom the effect this will have on the families. And to think I have a son going away to college in the fall...... 
Mr. Tech Support
Way too funny! You can bring your guns to my house any time. LOL
Surgical tech. That's what I want to be.
I really don't want to be a nurse. I am going to check into it tomorrow. My son, who is graduating from high school next month and will be attending the same college, said that no, he would not be horribly embarrassed to have his mother at the same school at the same time as him!
TS = Tech Support said in one of his
posts:
'Ignore them and they will go away.'
So, you see, Ella, this is not a brain child of 'Anudder'.
Where do you work that you can't get tech or sup help at 11 a.m.?

yep - a Goddess *ROFL*.....sm
but seriously, I always think our consciences are our G_D!! That conscience that tells us right from wrong, that conscience that makes us make a correct decision...........that G_D is within each and every one of us.............
Not from a bunch of men (women had no real say back then) who interpreted what G_D might have been trying to say and then put their own *slant* on things........
who knows? nobody! We can only surmise and ponder and become philosophical about it all....
well, except for those darn fanatics.........*LOL*
probably!!! *rofl* - too funny
  
ROFL! Good one! nm

ROFL! I confess, its still me too...
I can't help it. I hate when I am just about to do it and then who ever is nagging me mentions it again. NOW I have to wait a respectable period of time until it becomes MY idea once more, and if the nagger keeps nagging this can go on for quite some time, heh
ROFL Hayseed you are something else!
You always make me laugh. Thank you!
getting older? *ROFL*
I'm well above average then!! ROFL!!

No...but just can't get past this one - still ROFL!

I asked the lab tech how long
and she said 2-3 days, so I guess not frozen?
Tech question spyware
My husband uses something to spy on our kids when they are online. He can log in to his computer either on his lap top or at work and then follow their conversations if they are talking on messenger or writing emails. He said he can even manipulate the cursor so it messes with them. He thinks it's funny.
It makes me wonder now if he is doing the same thing to me because I notice my cursor go crazy occasionally when I'm working. How can I tell if he has it on mine?
I already asked him point blank if he was doing it to me and he denied it of course but I don't believe him.
Tech/video question
I have been trying to open a video of a speech my nephew gave and cannot get my computer to open it. It asks what program to open it with (or if want to do a Internet search), and I have tried both. The Internet thing didn't come up with anything I found useful, and my own computer only has Windows Media Player, which did not work.
My sister says it works on hers ... it does not even ask what to open; simply opens and plays. She cannot tell what program it is using.
The file says it's a MP-4 auto file if that helps.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Dear Scrub Tech
Please stop crashing and clanging those heavy metal dishes and instruments while the surgeon is dictating the operative report. How the heck am I supposed to understand a word he/she is saying when there is a huge crash every few minutes during critical portions of the report?
Letter to Tech Support...sm
Thought I would share this exchange with Tech Support:
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the Flower and Jewelry application, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NASCAR 6.0, NFL 5.1 and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed, Desperate
DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please go to the Web page "ithoughtyoulovedme.html" and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update while you're at it.
If those applications work as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default toGrumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0, which runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. This will cause Husband 1.0 to crash.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great operating system, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good luck!
so is rush limbaugh...*rofl*
ROFL- cute poem!!
How about "I would not like thee with a pill, I would not like thee on a hill, I do not like the clothes you wear, I would not like you anywhere!"
And what is up with him writing a book on weight loss??!? I mean, seriously.
Ooohhhh---send some to me so you won't pop! ROFL
I love fresh tomatoes from the garden. Slice 'em up, a little salt - that's a meal!
Try both *ROFL* - drink away *chuckles*...
today is my day off, think I'll join ya.......*lol*
ROFL - That is funny. People sure are different

Am considering installing a Pebble Tech floor.
I wonder if Pebble Tech is the right choice. One adult, four animals, 1400 sq. foot. What I am concerned about is being able to keep it clean and how comfortable they are to walk on with bare feet. Cost is fairly reasonable when compared to tile and the look I like (the beach!).
Anyone have experience with this type of flooring? Will it make my home look like a business rather than a home? Is keeping it clean a hassle?
Thank you much!
Horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech
In Blacksburg, VA. Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead. My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip. He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building. My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me. I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver. He was sent to another part of the campus. Just needed to talk about this a little. Thanks for listening.
I live 20 minutes from VA Tech. This is so tragic. My son is a ......sm
junior but he goes to Roanoke College and still lives at home. I called him because I wonder if some classmates he graduated with were involved in today's tragedy. I feel sick inside. We take way too much for granted.
gift ideas for high tech men who have everything
Since you all have great volunteering ideas, I thought I'd pick your brains about what to give high tech men who have everything for Christmas.
Things not to say to people!! Ultrasound tech said (sm)
After doing my ultrasound for an ovarian cyst she says as I am getting up, "are you still having your cycles?" Thanks. I'm 40.
All I can pinpoint is that my son smokes and maybe a vet/tech smoked??? nm

great picture and you weigh ??? *ROFL
imagine that description on a 400 lb person.....
no offense - just struck me so funny *LOL*
let's raise the flag *ROFL*.....lucky you....
Marie - I was ROFL reading your post
Sorry I know its not funny especially for you. That is totally disgusting. They sound like the nieghbors we had in Reno, but they didn't have pets - it was their stinking food and stuff they left all over. Why do people live like such nasty ho's. Well we may not have the dog poo but they did do something with their back yard and fertilizer and it really stinks and now we are infested with flies here. I won't call Animal control because they really are not cruel to their dog, they just let it bark all the time then it goes inside once it gets dark out. They do play with their dog too (its constantly getting loose and they are running up and down the street yelling for it - dog comes back). None of our neighbors have their dogs tied up, they just let them roam free. I like the solution that Jim Carey did in a movie called Me, Myself and Irene when he kept telling his neighbor to stop letting the dog poo on his lawn. He went over to his neighbors lawn and took a dump on it in broad daylight while the neighbor watched. I thought that was hysterical. Well sounds like you needed to vent more than I did. I'll count myself lucky reading about you. Four years probably seems like forever to you too. Wish you best.
What do you make of the lab tech questioning the donated eggs? (sm)
There seemed to be something weird there, but can't figure out whose eggs they might be, if that is what was even implied.
Tech gifts that aren't compatible w/ your computerr
 We had THREE gifts yesterday that would not work with our computer - one of them being a simple MP3 player. Spent all afternoon yesterday trying to get these things to work, downloading patches, trying every trick we knew. Now we have to try to return these already opened electronic gifts and see if they will take them back! Two of them were for my ten-year-old son who was very sweet about it, but obviously disappointed. I see on Yahoo some of the top stories today are "how to return tech gifts". Arrrggh!!
As a prior vet tech and diabetic, I wouldnt touch this

ROFL!!!! Gonna be some funny looking old ladies in about 40 years...lol nm

ROFL, that was good, Robin, I was thinking the same thing but.....sm
you have articulated it so much more colorfully than I ever could,what a hoot, even though it is such a sickening story. Man, did this woman EVER have any self-respect, self-esteem, to say nothing of self-discipline and brains? Total sociopath, puts the "ICK!" in SICK!!
Thanks for the head up!

I think you hit it on the head with that one. NM

It sure looks like we could head toward ...sm
a great depression. Well about the questions. My mom is queen of stocking up. I do some too. But not like her. I need to do it more. But the things you stock up on are like mostly things that will stay good a while like can items and flour and corn meal and cooking oil and cereals. Just look at the dates and see when it expires so you can see how long it will stay good. Canned items you have a few years usually. Stock up on drinks, tea, coffee, sugar. My mom puts sugar, flour, and corn meal and rice and things like that in stock piles in her freezer. It will keep a long time in there. What my mom does and me too is look in the sale paper at the grocery store and when something goes on sale and is a good deal buy plenty. Like one time they put hamburger helper on sale for $1 a box and my mom bought 10 of them. Just look for good cheap deals and stock up. Toilet paper too. Paper towels. Soap. Whatever. Just when you catch sales get a little here and there and put it up. Don't go spend a fortune in one day.
As far as shortages of food I have no idea.
$4 a head?!?!
Wow. Plotzing right next to you. jeez.
I put up a greenhouse last year, which I love. It's still being tweaked so I haven't completely maximized its use yet, but all my plants made it through its first winter. We even planned ahead and my handyman ran electric and water into it, so it's pretty self contained.
I love growing things, but don't necessarily like to be outside for the growing of them. Weird, I know. Plus, the greenhouse lets me stay away from my creepy neighbor who makes passes at me while his ailing/dying wife is inside.
The other thing that I've started doing to try to cut costs is hanging the clothes out on a line. I've seen a lot of comments about that lately, too. I'm really curious to see how much of a difference that makes on the old electric bill.
I think your gut has already told you what your head
knows - avoid this change at all costs. I won't go into all the reasons I would avoid because you know them in your heart - best of luck!
