    Thank you Starby, I'm glad that I'm able to 'talk' about anything and everything with you all - Larry listens but does not talk back much except when he's hungry or wants loving. I would appreciate those old Maxine clips if you can find them in your 'sent' folder in your email - just resend. Right now, Yahoo is down, so I cannot read my mail yet. Hope it does not take them too long to function again.

    Alex and his mom had to do an emergency stop in Nova Scotia because there was a really sick old lady on the plane who needed immediate medical attention. Jaime couldn't understand why a really sick person would fly in the first place.. I told her that if she and Alex were not here, I would be on the plane headed to be with my brother, no matter how sick I was, because I would want to spend my last days with loved ones and that maybe that's what this lady was doing. She had to think about that one and agreed with me. But this delayed their arrival in Missouri over 7 hours and Dan and his family were really worried because they didn't know where she was.

    The 'toy' I was talking about is a graphic (drawing) program that lets you produce pictures of all kinds and use 'pretend' oil, chalk, marker, glitter, and lots of other types of 'paintbrushes' to create your pictures. Even a professional uses it and has his pictures and films on a forum. I found it on the WACOM site, where I usually look for and/or purchase tips for my graphic pen. You see, I cannot use a mouse, so I use a Pen and Tablet with my computer, and I have tried so many types that I am an expert on the subject.. WACOM has the best - from all prices to all sizes. My current tablet is a Graphire 3 and the pen that goes with it needed another tip, so I went on the site to order a set - and found another tablet that I want, and also the new 'drawing' program that I want to try. Well, my credit card did not work outside Germany, so I asked my daughter to purchase the drawing program for me - and she said yes - so I get my new toy sometime soon. I will have to save up for the new tablet and pen though before I get her to order that. It's around 50 Euro and not in my budget right now, even though Jaime and Alexander will get them anyway, I want to still be able to pay for my own toys since she gets food and other things for me and Larry - I don't want to over-tax her when it comes to things that are not really necessary.

    OK, now my computer... well it acted up again, and this time I was really mad. But before reformatting, and losing all of my stuff, I tried another tactic. I have used two different Registry Cleaners (will explain that on another day) and when I used them my computer would 'claim' that some essential files were 'currupt' and that I should do a 'chkdsk' which is short for check disk.. Well Vista does not like to let you go to a command prompt without going through a maze, so I went into my BIOS and noticed that there were a few changes that the new 'update' made to my settings there. Well, I changed them, and was ablb to go to my command prompt and also do a memory check and a complete disk diagnosis. Well, guess what - there was nothing what-so-ever wrong with my memory or files... After five hours of stress, but keeping patient, I was rewarded with the knowledge that I still know what I am doing 'computer-wise' and an assured that my laptop is OK, just Vista is a pain in the *ss. Yeah, I can now pass on this knowledge to JB, and also the rest of my family who all 'play' with computers. That makes me feel good.

    Here's the part where we can all laugh about this though. For some reason, I was all of a sudden cut off from the internet and though I tried to reconnect, got a message that the admin turned off that feature. Well, I'm the admin of my own computer, so this really baffled me! That's why I thought the new updates I got today did something wrong and tried to do a recovery from another day - well that did not work because my recovery program said that there were 'currupt' files and to do a 'chkdks' before I could even do anything. So, after all I went through, and no problems found, I looked for my lighter to have a cigarette.. and lo and behold, in front of my laptop (on the bottom part near the closure) I found that the switch that was there was off, but I always left it on. (It's the one that turns off bluetooth and networks) - I then noticed that those indicator lights were out! Boy, I could have kicked myself in the you-know-what for being that stupid. I switched it back on and got my internet back. BUT, if I had not gone through all that trouble today, I still would have believed that there was something wrong with my disk and would not have found out how to get back to my command prompt in the future. So all's well that ends well, I guess.

    Jaime is going to burn all the pictures she has on a CD for me so that I can at least have the ones she took. The ones that I did not save to CD are gone and that really makes me sad. From now on I will keep a CD in my laptop and update my graphic folder before shutting down. My Nero program lets me decide if the computer can shut off by itself after copying or burning a CD, so that will be used a lot.

    Stringer dear, I noticed that I got an email from you too, but cannot open my mail yet, Yahoo has a 'little' problem right now. Ah, just got in, so when done with AMHD, will check my mail and see what's there. I always get excited when I get mail from my friends.

    I will also have to take off the 'email me' feature in my AMHD profile, because if I don't know you, and there is no 'special' word in the subject - I delete it as spam and don't want to hurt anyone by not answering. They can PM me if it's important - and I'll tell them to initiate a thread if they need help.

    Here I am just typing away while Larry is walking back and forth to his dish. I've been so busy that I forgot to fill it - poor baby. When I work on my computer, there is nothing else on my mind until I get it just right.

    OMG, after typing all this into an editor with a spell checker, then pasting it to this editor, I noticed that mis-spelled words are all of a sudden underlined. None were wrong, just didn't recognize words like Starby or AMHD, etc. Glad that the spell checker here works again.

    Now, I really have to go and feed Larry and check what else I need to read and/or answer to, so I'll leave here for now and hope that all of you have a wonderful Sunday evening.

    Need to also watch a comedy on TV to settle down a bit - have not had such busy and frustrating day at home like these in a while - it did do me some good though. Proved to me that my brain still works and that I need to keep my cool as much as possible and also my sense of humor.

    So, C.U. later,

    Starby, just in case you wonder what toy and want to see what I mean, here are a few links of interest..

    ArtRage 2

    The above is the link to the ArtRage program that I want - the free version does not have the glitter and other stuff, but it's cool too. When I checked out the tutorials, I watched how a parrot was painted and was amazed..

    carlo cartun: Night Mare

    Here is a homepage of a guy who swears by ArtRage and he's good at it, I've looked at all of his stuff. Absolutely super.

    Wacom Products

    Here are the products that I have the Graphire 4 from, but the Bamboo One is not available in the US just the Bamboo and Bamboo Fun. The US Wacom site does not have the ArtRage link, but sell a lot of stuff from Corel. Plus, believe it or not, the Tablets and pen sets are at least 40% cheaper on the WACOM Europe site. I guess money rules!

    Going to watch the Babynator with Vin Diesel - that looks like fun.

    TTFN,

    http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gif Don't worry Stringer, I check my mail every day now..

    Momma C, Stawby and I were watching Barbie does Dallas and Stwingy came and took the remote contwol and changed the channel to football. He won't give back the remote and he's blocking the TV. Stawby's cwying in the cowner, Barbie hadn't even got to Dallas yet when Stwiny changed the channel.

    Stwingy's a mean bwudder, give him a paddling. Now we'll never know what Barbie does in Dallas. :(

    I can't even see the pawt where Ken catches Bawbie in Dawass! Awl I can see is Stwingy's rear end, and some guy's pwaying on gwass and Momma, I think Stwingy spway painted our fwont lawn! It woks wike there's numbers and lines painted on it, and he has fwiends over, and they are wunning back and fourth, and hitting each other. They've got a football, and they are gwabbin each others butts!

    They're weird Momma!
  • Oct 5, 2008, 01:41 PM
    Alty

    Yup, and I saw Stwingy slap one of his fwends wif a towel and then yell "Hoora!" Momma, they're scaring me and Stawby. All we want to do is watch Barbie, Ken and the three other guys that are in the movie. I want to know what she does in Dallas. :(

    Momma make Stwingy stop.

    Ouch, he just wacked me with the towel, that stings, but isn't entirely bad. I'm confused. :(
  • Oct 5, 2008, 02:11 PM

    ... and... and Momma?. now Stwingy is doing this funny dance, and he throwed the football down weally hard... and he is acting siwwy... and scweaming... downtouch... downtouch..! There are girlz in the yard too Momma! They are wearing weally short skirts, and doing some sort of a chant! Stwingy must have picked them up in the wrong part of town! I think the girlz are twying to hurt each other! They are standing on each overs shwoulders!

    Momma... 2 year olds shouldn't be watching movies like that anyway... I was just being the brother and son you always wanted me to be... I tried to save her from herself... but it was hopeless... she is a feen...

    Besides, their 2 year old minds couldn't handle the "truth" anyway. Even though it was football Alty was on all fours watching the TV screen with her tongue hanging out. The other guys thought she was crazy and something had to be wrong with her she had a wild crazy blank stare in her eyes.

    Well... I was very embarrassed Momma to tell you the least! Half of the guys left because of how she was acting and one said that I should call a doctor... "this 2 year old has a serious problem... "

    Coloring book downloads - Agil's Coloring Book freeware download - Best Freeware Download

    It's OK honey, you didn't miss much, she just winds up getting used and isn't there for the scenic view, that's for sure. Download the coloring book in the link above and have something better to do. I'm working on some Care Bear pictures to add to the collection of pictures already in that program and then all you will have to do is place them in the right directory and they'll be ready to color too. Share it with friends that have kids of all ages.

    Stringer, I will see if I can get you a TV for you room, but if they watch that Barbie stuff again, interrupt - that's being a responsible brother and I'm proud of you.
    I feel OK, thanks, nothing new has cropped up, so every day without new problems is a good day.

    Since I lost all my recent pictures, I lost the one of you and Marta too. Could you please send me the one of you and Marta that you sent me in the card via email? That one would be just perfect to make a puzzle for you - with all the colors - just great.

    I think I'll call it a day now that my computer is up and running, and Larry is ready for bed. There are a few shows to watch and fall asleep to - maybe I'll get at least a few hours rest before my legs wake me.

    Night, night all.

    Good night Chery, sweet dreams of Alexander and Jamie... and... oh yeah... me.

    I have trouble posting pics on here (actually I just sent M some to post for me again a couple days ago... ). I will email you some though, hopefully the one you wanted is among them, please let me know?

    Now this dreaming bit should be posted in excon's Social Group thread. I don't think Marta would like any woman to dream about you dear, so I will respect that and just think about the both of you while I look at your picture.. that will give me much comfort.

    Night, night dears.

    You're right, it is late so what are you doing up...

    You know that I love to hear from you all no matter what time it is. It is almost three in the morning here and I still cannot think of sleeping. There is just so much going on in my mind and not even TV shows divert me this time.

    I just got through reading a post from a newbie, a young man of 18 who has had a relationship for 3 years with the same girl. Well, it's over and he wrote down his thoughts... you've just got to read it sometime, he's more mature that some men who have been around and playing. I really enjoyed reading his thoughts- refreshing!

    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...ml#post1306561

    So, I'll just wait till I'm crispy enough or until Larry gets so persistent that I have to lay down just so he can sleep.

    It's called playing football, and the lawn will grow and be mowed again before the winter - by next year it will be good as new. Barbie and Ken usually go to Vegas to have a good time, so Dallas is not that cool, just a bunch of oil wells and old rich political candidates. Try out the coloring book, it's more fun and you can pick the colors of your choice.


    Alty (post 510)
    Same thing honey, I'm sure you've heard of erotic and exotic movies, well they do the same thing in all of them, and if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Even Care Bears or Strawberry Shortcake have a better story line than these old 'Dallas' movies, so don't fret. Tag football is the type of game that uses towels (or tags) instead of knocking the other guy down. It's a fun game and might be even more fun to watch than the dumb movie.

    Starby (post 511)
    No starby, they are not from the wrong side of town. They are what we call cheerleaders and they usually cheer on their teams to motivate them to win. It's a show and mostly for the men, but honest, they come from a better part of town than that Barbie you girls wanted to watch. So, cuties, just settle down and join in cheering, those guys out there just might like it and offer to buy you some ice cream after the game. The ice cream truck is due to come by in about 30 minutes anyway, so be patient.

    Stringer (post 512)
    Now Stringer, you know that two-year-olds have a short attention span, and next time they act like that, just do something else to divert their attention, and tell them the ice cream truck is coming and if they don't behave, they get none. That will at least have them think about something else for a few minutes.

    Remember when you were two? You were in one place one minute and another the next, couldn't keep you still - and that's normal at that age. You used to stop what you were doing every time a commercial came on the TV, the show never interested you, just the commercial and the music - just like my grandson Alexander right now. Heck, he'll stop eating, playing, anything - when a commercial comes on. Hah, and the producers of these commercials thought they'd get the attention of the people with money... NOT. Kids that age don't have money or buying power, so someone thought wrong.

    OK, now the three of you get in your PJs, brush your teeth and get ready for a story and a hug because it's a little late for you to be up.

    Gosh, I hope the lawn doesn't look too bad, we might just have several tag teams wanting to play. Well, at least that way, you'll all make new friends if you behave..


    Are you done brushing? Come get them hugs, and let's settle down.


    http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gif HUGS and lots a LOVE!
