LOL... I just can't get over the smileys either Chery... that's the first thing I look for in your posts :)

Holy crap Stringer... did you send all those cops in here.. I thought I was getting raided, LMAO. (They just wanted some change). Did someone say coffee? It IS about that time... I'll go start my pot (of coffee that is.. giggle). Wouldn't know my coffee pot travels with me to work. Then I have to smell that darned baker next door all night... yummmmy, but makes my tummy grumble. And BTW, stop all that grandpa talk... there is a mommy here, I don't want to know how you talk about us after we leave, heehehe.

EDIT:: I think she was referring to Start :)

Hey Joe! Going to get coffee... and bacon!? LOL 4.5 Hours to go... woo hoo, I'm on the count down! About 6 or 7 in uniform walked in, they had been doing some off-duty club watching :) Fortunately, I'm on the good side of the law... I make their business cards, LOL.

JoeCanada76 · Dec 9, 2007, 03:42 AM

Wooops, you make their business cards. I better behave then or you will call them out to come after me.

Oh Boy, those smileys... the help me express myself sometimes when I run out of words LOL..

I have had them for years, but every time I get a new PC or laptop and install them, I get different results. One lets me use them with Firefox, one lets me use with IE only, another does not like them at all and gets rid of them on my explorer bar. I have to search for 'smiley central', 'emoticons' etc all over again, and after installing them to include 'mywebsearch' bar in the explorer, there still is no guarrantee that I get them back.

So.. right now I'm counting my blessings with this laptop and am glad that Windows Defender does not have anything against it. I had to add 'mywebsearch' to the 'safe' sites in the internet options tool. So.. go figure.

In this case, I'm either lucky and still have a safe computer, or dumb - but still safe cause no virus or malware yet.. and if anyone wants to snoop, there wouldn't be much I could do anyway.

Internet Options allowed you to be able to use them here at AMHD? I'll try that, thank you Lady.

I know what you mean RPG..

The first computer I worked with was the MTST from IBM (Magnetic tape selectric typewriter) It worked with tapes the size of VHS and was so loud I got a separate room for the darned thing. I was the only one they sent to school for in the entire hospital, when I came back I had to train others.

Then, when they came up with PCs for home use, boy did I go crazy.. learned everything from then on all by myself and did not let on or they would have used me to teach for free again. I did come up with some neat forms that are still being used - but I never got paid for them. It was the need to beat a challenge in me that still is here, that's why I'm testing Windows Vista even though I don't really need it and have four other computers collecting dust right now. And since I cannot work anymore, I have found other things to do such as creating tilesets for the Kyodai Mahjong game and graphics for the Jigs@w Puzzle application - which is the greatest jigsaw puzzle on the market. I also collect other graphics and make coloring books out of them into PDF format and send them off to anyone who wants them.

When I worked I created timesheets for doctors with exell and they are being used in all military hospitals - and I didn't get paid for those either - dumb me, I did not patent them and someone else took the credit. But at least the doctors who first used them know who they originated from and conveyed their appreciation to me.

Now, I just stay at home and play here and there, spend time with you guys and my family. I'm pretty content without much stress right now and that's just what I need.

I sure hope you like your job and meet some cool people, that was always nice for me while I worked and studied.

TTFN.

Pretty good Chery... I'm impressed with your abilities. You have now what I am waiting for.

Yes, I went to extras, internet options, security, safe sites and included AMHD, Yahoo, MyWebSearch.com to the safe websites... I always do that on any PC I used just to make sure these sites are accepted with or without certification.

Never had a problem with those sites yet. Worms and trojans, yes, just like everybody else, but they get fixed automatically with the antivirus app I have.
