Ok Lo my DH says there is no way to uninstall an operating system. He says you can upgrade it to another one and that will over ride the one you have on there. He says the one we have is not able to be updated? I dunno. I did tell him about the post where it says how you can get the blue screen of death with XP. He said that's called an Easter egg. I have no clue. He can talk me under the table with computers. I told him I would ask you how to uninstall and OS and let him know. He was okay with that lol. I have him thinking you are some computer specialist lol. I even told him he should go back to the college he graduated from and take refresher courses just to stay up to date. He didn't argue or get deffensive so maybe he knows that you know something he doesn't?

There is no way that I know anything that he doesn't!! You know, I took a computer course not that awfully long ago, and used it quite a bit for work, but when I retired from The Real World and was mostly self-employed, I barely used the computer at all. Now that I'm mostly full-time retired I've had to relearn a lot, but am mostly self taught. And that would be the reason that I know nothink!

You may actually have to purchase software to uninstall operating systems, or use the bios menu.

Easter Egg. That sounds like a cute name for a dire situation!

[grneyes]

The only way to "uninstall" an OS is by formatting your hard drive. That will wipe out everything on it. Should only be done as a last resort though.

Thanks. That was what my dh was saying. I thought maybe he was just being quirky. He's a networker and formats the hard drives every time he wants to upgrade. Irritates me becuase I lose everything. He knows what he's doing. He has promised he will save everything on a cd before he does it. I just dread it.

Thanks Lo! That's great that you were able to teach yourself everything that you know. I guess I am just lazy with it because DH is the pro.

Must have been a mean, nasty Lurker!

I know but as Snoop said last night we should be glad that nobody got banned. On other boards you get banned from going OT. At least we just got a folder added for us. I know whoever complained wasn't someone posting with us. Because we ALL went OT from time to time. I think we all enjoy what the others say. It's how we get to know each other.

I know, you're right, it's true. For some reason the fruit Peaches came to mind for a moment! LOL !

Guess some others are just jealous we have more fun on our thread than they do

[/quote]

I guess this is the gathering place now? Seems sad but I can understand. A lot of times, when you're posting, all of a sudden another related but OT thought comes to mind. I need to keep a pen and pad now so I don't forget what that thought is and can come here to write it. It was just so easy before. I know I eat only canned peaches for a reason.

Maybe Ol' Jose didn't like our OT but relevant to what a witch his client is, and complained. Maybe he didn't like his clown picture. haha, I still get a good laugh from that one.

I'm sentimental too I have every card my HB ever gave me, and
I still have every card given to me by anyone for anything in the last 10 years or so. I have carp pots in the LR with glass on top ~ I just slide all the cards in there. One day I'm going to clean 'em and reread 'em.

Yeah....ONE day!

My aunt died right before TGiving, and some estate issues came up afterwards. Of course I still had all the cards and letters; we wrote or talked on the phone about once a week (and of course most of what we talked about was the soaps or food!), but when I went back to re-read the correspondence, I also re-read the cards and letters from My Sainted Grandmother. Just such sweet remembrances. Those two were my last living pen-pals.

Me too! I think there is a stick missing somewhere, and it's likely you know where. Makes it kind of hard to sit down.

Yes, Loretta, something about being able for a moment to close your eyes and think about someone, right? My favorites are my pictures! Always been a camera buff, so I'm constantly looking back , remembering when. Next comes my music..and I'm 15 again. Sometimes a smell will do it too ~ perfume or food will remind me of someone or something. I'm very afraid of Altzheimers (sic), esp since I really do have CRS sometimes due to a car accident years ago. I want to be old and shriveled up and remember the good ol days..and sex! LOL!
Enjoys those memories, my friend! I will too!

OOooooooooooooo I went OT over there, it takes getting used to, switching gears like that!

Aww Thanks for remembering my Sissy. I love those deja vu moments! I get really frustrated when I'm forgetful, since I'm normally a high energy multi-tasker. I DO NOT like spinning my wheels.

[applesandorange]

Okay post some good stuff while I'm gone. I heading out to wrestling practice. I will be back some time after 8:00.

[Justice Denied?]

Was told to get over here and report what I am having for supper. I am not a superior cook, like most of y'all. I think I am going to make taco soup. It's easy and warming.

[Gatordog]

I'm trying to cut back on starch carbs so for dinner I made a baby zucchini, vidalia onion and parmesan frittata. umm umm good.

Hey that sounds good! How do you make it? It's cold here and I should have put on a pot of something earlier in the day, but *yawn* just didn't. Thinking about huevos rancheros.

[Gatordog]

Maybe we should post all of our Caylee posts here so no one can complain about OT Let that scrolliosis person post to himself.

WFTV had a report on just tonight about it being eaglet season and that we have the lagest bald eagle population in the lower 48. Said the are building their nests closer to populated areas. Tell me about it after yesterday! Poor Mac almost became eagle dinner.

Brown a pound of hamburger with the taco seasoning. Can add chopped onion if you like. Drain. Add a can of Rotel tomatoes, a can of Ranch Style beans and a can of corn. Simmer for a few minutes so flavors blend. Put grated cheddar cheeze on top before serving with tortilla chips. We like it on cold nights.

Many of you have have talked about various interesting foods and cultures. I haven't experienced much in the way of culturally diverse food but I have had a few unusual dining incidents. A few years ago, I was in England for a few weeks and decided to take a train from London up to Scotland. At lunch time I went to the dining car and sat down at a small table. I noticed that I was the only one in the car. Shortly after, a middle-aged fellow traveler came in. She looked around for a moment, then walked to my table and enquired if she could dine with me. I welcomed her and she sat down and began telling me much about her life. She was from Australia, her husband had recently died and she was visiting relatives. She was afraid of air travel and had traveled to England by ship and now by train to Scotland. She appeared to be well off and travelwise. After a while, a waiter came to the table holding a notepad and pencil. There wasn't a menu in sight. I suggested to the lady that she order first but she insisted that I should. I looked up at the waiter and he said one word. "Superjuice?" I replied superjuice, what is that like? I noticed the lady let out a chuckle. The waiter frowned at me and said "soup or juice?" I said oh, soup or juice, I'll have the soup. He then said "hot or cold?" I replied that I preferred the soup hot. The waiter, looking anxiously, said "the lunch, the lunch, do you want a hot lunch or do you want a plate of cold cuts?" I said make it hot. He was a very efficient waiter.

Another thing that happened earlier after I had checked into the hotel in London. As I left the desk and headed toward the elevator, the desk clerk asked me if I had a time that I would liked to be knocked up in the morning?
That took a few minutes to get sorted out. I'm a poor traveler.

I got off my arse today and got a lot of work done, but I'm way behind on the board. Of course Poppa asked me if I learned anything new on the case and I said, "Aye! I got nothing! I worked today." LOL!

Tomorrow I'll get a lot done too, so I'll catch up tonight and (am I boring you?)


Anyway, post slower.

Love you guys!

Hey!! I was wondering where you were all day!! We miss you when you're gone! Not much new to report today. I'm glad you got work done. You can pass a lasagna over this way anytime!

I was over there, posting away, and as usual, get to the end of the thread and find a dozen or so posts in a row--by ME!!!! So, I figured, wonder if they are all on the chitchat board? I tho't, I'll betcha that, as folks are posting about their cards and hagnog and haterade and what's for supper, they will probably pop in what they are thinking about Caylee, cuz it sure is a pain in the kiester to have to move between 2 boards, and, in my case, always being on the one the others are not @ the moment!!!!

Oh gosh, the taco soup, the lasagna and the frittata sound great! Amy, I would have just eaten the chocolate off that I Scream Sammy. Gator, I'm really working on not eating any white food, but considering my potato chip addiction, it's not easy!!!!!

Be careful with your pup, Gator. I know a hawk picked up a little chihuahua in middle Georgia once, but luckily the owner saved the pup. My brother who is a hunter,fisherman, wildlife photographer, and fireman,emt, said that an eagle will pick up a small child. I don't know where he got that info, but watch out for small pets and kids. Not like caysee ant.

About all I remember is I had a trifle on one occassion, a baked wilted tomato and some blood sausage, maybe yorkshire pudding.

I chose to hang a little sign on my door that said, "Not To Worry"
