well today i fluxed and reflowed the BGAs on my ps3 after I got the "yellow light of death" and a nice upgrade I used AC5!
I am switching driving instructors at the moment, so my next lesson might be tomorrow morning or Friday morning. This is because my present one keeps messing me about and I have found a private one who only charges about 18.00 per hour.
I'm signing on later at the Jobcentre.

I have about half a century to go
I'm not doing much to-day and I have got a driving lesson next Tuesday at 11.00am with my new instructor. He charges �17.00 per lesson.
Just how many lessons have you had so far?
I would say between 15 and 20 lessons so far.
And how many do they expect you to need?
The average person needs at least 40 lessons to pass.
40 lessons 
the average was 10 when I passed my test!!

Endless Mountains Hot Air Balloons, Inc. offers both Private and Commercial Hot Air Balloon Pilot Training. Contact us for details. What does it take to become a balloon pilot?
To become a hot air balloon pilot it requires a passion to fly, commitment, training, patience, and time. One of the best ways to decide if you want to commit to becoming a hot air balloon pilot is to participate as an active crew member. This gives you an opportunity to learn and experience the concepts of ballooning and all that is required to fly a balloon. Once you have experience as a crew member you will have learned the "basics" and are better prepared to expand your knowledge and gain the experience needed to pilot the balloon. Every balloon flight is a little bit different and there is always something new to learn. Student pilots and certified pilots must approach each flight with an open mind, the willingness to learn, and the highest standard of safety and performance. Some say that earning a pilot certificate is earning a license to learn. All Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements must be satisfied. As with any FAA regulated aircraft Student, Private, and Commercial pilot certificates are required. Student Pilot Requirements
Every new pilot starts as a student pilot. Your flight instructor can help you obtain a Student Pilot Certificate from the local FAA office or FAA Designated Examiner. If you have already obtained a FAA certificate to pilot any other type of aircraft, a new student certificate is not required. The Student Pilot Certificate allows you to begin your formal training to obtain a Private Pilot Certificate. Private Pilot
To become a private pilot, you must fulfill the following minimum requirements as a student pilot:
To become a commercial pilot, you must fulfill the following minimum requirements:

I am working at the hospice shop later on. Also my games shelf is having a overhaul to become a PC racing games shelf only.
Today I have discovered that Acronis have no idea how to label Incremental Backups properly.... Look at this
My backup system is set up to make a full backup on a Sunday, then Incremental backups for the rest of the week, then it deletes the full backup the next sunday and starts again.
If you observe the System Reserved_C one Acronis has labelled them:
System Reserved_C(1)
System Reserved_C(1)2
System Reserved_C(1)3
System Reserved_C(1)4
System Reserved_C(1)5
all good so far, and then today, for no reason at all, rather than calling it System Reserved_C(1)6 it has decided to call it System Reserved_C15 instead,
as for the "My Backup" one, don't ask, I can't even make any sense out of the labelling for that I think its making up the names on the spot.

Arc,
Sorry to hear, I upgraded my laptops 60 hd to 250 and over the next 2 years it died 3 times all covered under WD's warranty (good news) but the hassle was a wild amount of work. Good luck and go slow !
I should add: After sending my LG Xenon though the wash and dry cycle which it didn't hold up well do I know have a new phone and I'm teaching myself all over how to use it.....fun?

there are still areas i avoid but we have experts here to cover that so. yes dennis has helped build my post count but i have had to get new armour, and learn a bit of photoshop. all good

System Reserved_C(1)
System Reserved_C(1)2
System Reserved_C(1)3
System Reserved_C(1)4
System Reserved_C(1)5
all good so far, and then today, for no reason at all, rather than calling it System Reserved_C(1)6 it has decided to call it System Reserved_C15 instead,
as for the "My Backup" one, don't ask, I can't even make any sense out of the labelling for that I think its making up the names on the spot.

Thanks everyone for the Birthday Wishes.
Greatly appreciated.
Going to be a family get together. No one wanted to cook and I or my sister usually do but not on my B'day. Sister said she is on strike this weekend.
So the rest of them can figure out how and who pays at the restraunt.
I'm leaving my cash and CC at the house.
For us at the Seven7forums
Party at the VIP room this evening.
I still have the keys to the VIP store room with all the party supplies and the VIP bus.
Party on!

I am working in the shop later on to-day.
I am at work again, but this weekend, my wife and I had a blast. On Saturday, we set up a booth at a Halloween Festival and we made some money and had lots of fun. This is her facebook site for her business and there are pics of the show for everyone interested to view.
Irvington Halloween Festival | Facebook
(Edit: a fun note about the show, we linked her smartphone to her Macbook and ran credit cards from 3G phone coverage because there were no wifi signals nearby.)
Then on Sunday, we went and hung out with a friend and carved pumpkins. and then gave out candy at our house for trick-or-treaters...

To date it has been going quite good. Took a bit of time to get used to the mask, but no real probs with it now.
I certainly sleep better, though the dogs (2 staffy's) still manage to wake me when THEY think i should be up, lol.
The Handbrake reckons she can tell the difference. "Got my hubby of old back".
Don't wake up with headaches, so that is definitely a bonus.
Got an appointment with the cpap man tomorrow, just to see if everything is working out. Still need to go for another stay in hospital for 1 night WITH the machine, to compare vs the first stay.
In Aus, these machines are quite expensive, compared to the U.S. cpap $1900 / $2000. Mask around $275, and that are specials i found on the net locally.

My experience of 20 years ago exemplifies the counter intelligence of the corporate thinking of insurance companies. The cost of her first cpap was $750 USD. I had already paid up my yearly deductible so my 20% = $150; insurance cost $600. After 3 months of deliberation, insurance co decided they would not insure any part of the cost ... except that under Medicare rules they would be willing to pay $100/month for 14 months. Then in January, I was informed I would have to pay my deductible again so my eventual total cost was about $750, but the insurance co also paid $750. If I were Spock, I would raise one eyebrow here and say: "Humans are not logical."
who's in the picture, is this what you really look like iseeuu
I see LW7 had the devil in him yesterday.

Going back next tuesday afternoon to get wired up again, but not staying in hospital as they are booked out till Christmas or after.
This means "the handbrake" will get a giggle seeing me in a weird state overnight.

Glad to hear the doctors pleased with the results Jon.
Up to now the machine is not something we've looked into yet so not sure how much it would cost or if he'd get it on the NHS, he's already Asthmatic and Diabetic plus had a heart attack.
He's always suffered with his breathing though and most of the time can't breathe through his nose, when young they took his tonsils out but didn't do anything with his Adenoids so I don't know if that has had any effect.
Hope things keep improving for you and maybe your wife wont laugh too much

Jon, the CPAP has really helped Mae Lyne - and me - to get a good night's sleep. She has been using it almost a year now and it has really made a difference in her. It is a Godsend.

In my case, my tongue slips down, blocking off the airway.
It is an expense we could do without, but if it gives me (us) a better life, it is worth it.
Though i don't know too much about this cpap business as yet, they have a variety of masks that suit a persons needs.
A small one that goes into the nasal passage.
A nasal mask and a full mask, that covers the nose and mouth.
The technology in these machines is hard to comprehend. Mine is an auto pressure one called APAP. Just put on mask, and go to sleep. Too easy, lol.
Sally can do with a good laugh, so i don't mind it being at my expence.
This will be her when i get home wired for sound, i'm sure.

Sally would use your words if asked. "It is a Godsend".
Can't wait to get my own machine as this one is a rental during the initial testing phase.
I have already upset the guy when i asked him how much he charges for his new ones. Bit below rrp, he said.
Explained to him we don't have a money tree in the yard and found a site based in Perth, that sells what i want around $600 below rrp. He said he knew the site as he checks them all regularly. Told him to have a think about it as i cannot afford NOT to go there.
See what happens in the next week.
Best wishes to your good lady, Mae Lyne, Carl.

I have been some more of my ITQ course to-day. I have learnt about how edit paragraphs and insert line breaks, insert clip-art and shapes. I have also start to learn about tables. This is all done in Microsoft Word.
Joan, This site has the cpap machine i'm planning to get. The S9 Autoset with humidifier.
Some info on the left side of the page you may be interested in. (knowledge is power).
Who knows, it may suit your needs, bearing in mind there are lots of different manufacturers with a variety of models to suit.

Mae Lyne's machine is a CPAP; her air pressure prescription is 8.0. It also has a humidifier to keep her air passages from drying out. She uses a cloth mask that fits over her nose called the SleepWeaver: SleepWeaver Soft Cloth Nasal CPAP Mask; Light, Quiet & Comfortable CPAP Masks for Sleep Apnea. She also has one that fits over her nose and mouth that she uses if her nose is stopped up.
Tell Sally I understand completely!

Dad had his skin cancer check-up to-day. They are not sure if there is cancer cells still there or not. So they are going contact Brighton Hospital about Radiotherapy. So we are waiting for a letter from Brighton Hospital to see when we are going to have discussion with them about possible Radiotherapy or something similar. I will keep you updated.

Anyway , I am enjoying the last few hours of my vacation
I have been walking Gracie as usual. Also I have given up with mobile broadband and will sell the kit on ebay on Thursday. I have got dialup as before and it is good enough and should be cheaper than mobile broadband. Beacuse I had to topup my mobile broadband �15.00 per month, otherwise it did not work, also I do not need that 3GB package as I do not download anything, expect when I am at work.
Friend's coming over. Hanging out for a few hours, then by myself again.
Probably work more on my Toph AMV, or my Pre-Cal homework.

I'm sorry, I don't want to sound rude or use inappropriate language, but today I'm going to learn how to wipe my behind myself, so I don't need to send a text message to Angie asking her to come fast back home every time I have the urge but she's not home at that moment...
An occupational therapist starts today my twice-a-week lessons in coping home alone, everyday survival. Guys, I'm over 50 but I am nervous as a child waiting to start school first time ever. Not first time I've noticed rehabilitation is like going back to school because suddenly everything you have learned throughout your life is forgotten and has to be re-learned. re-programmed to your small still existing brain.
Life is good. Rehabilitation sucks!

It just goes to show that even the most basic of tasks, personal hygiene, has to be relearnt after a stroke. People tend to think about the obvious things, such as walking and talking, but there are a whole range of tasks and skills that need to be relearnt, of which those are but two.
However, the brain is remarkably adaptive and given time most of the things (if not all, to some extent) that you were able to do prior to your stroke you will be able to do afterwards. It just takes time to, if you like, reprogram the wiring in the brain to accommodate the enforced changes.

Well said, Dwarf. For me, it has been interesting to notice that I have had (unknown to me) an ability priority list. I mean, I could care less if my physiotherapist called and canceled our next meeting so I skipped an hour of learning to walk, but I'm always keenly awaiting the speech lessons and vocal therapy, can't wait to be able to communicate normally. It seems speech has a priority over other things I miss.
I had not known this, not realized I find an certain ability to do something more important than another ability.

After quite a few month's, tody i got my phone and notebook to communicate via bluetooth.
Finally able to move the pics of my phone to the lappy. WooHoo.
My son gave me this phone without cabling. Can only get one via special order.
Also,
Kari, i understand what you are going through.
My best mate became quadreplegic nearly 30 years ago. Though he has limited movement in his arms, his hands are of no use. Not a good thing.
Sure hope you are on the way back to the old Kari.

Kari,
I have called several home care agencies and told them what my wife needs and the quality of care I am looking for. To date I have found no one I trust, dependable and reliable.
For the last 2 years I have been my wife's therapist, hygienist and caregiver. There are some things I've had to do to my sure she doesn't back up and suffer bowel obstruction, infection or bloating. When someone is bedridden(horizontally) there is no gravity taking the food downward and out the bowel trail. It's not pretty but someone has to do it.
So I know what you are going through and hope you find and get quality help.
Take care my friend and remember little steps will lead to bigger ones.
Dennis
It has been a very wet and windy day. Anyway I went to the Learn Direct Centre to do some more of my ITQ course. Then I signed on at the Jobcentre and came home.
I have the horrifying feeling that a ten year old with a game console could probably drive this car better than I could
That's a Beautiful piece of engineering john!
I do not think we will be seeing one of those anytime soon. Is that a camera is instead of a rearview mirror?

Here's a pic of that car I forgot to post. I can just about imagine it if I was sitting left side, as you would in most places.
Today i'm going for another sleep study. They will wire me up and i'll be at home over night, as there is no vacant bed available.
Not allowed any coffee after 12 o'clock, lunchtime. Not going to be easy as i'm a caffeine addict. Love my cuppa's.

Might take laptop to keep us mentally busy.

I purposely have had a few late nights, so by rights i should be asleep for most of the "caffeine free" time.
thanks for the suggestion.

I was all excited today about my new monitor, but that takes the cake
Good luck, and best wishes! Liquidsnak,, Congrats on the new monitor.. you'll really enjoy it no doubt.
I am installing some more of my games to-day. My uncle and his wife, who are from Spain are coming to see us this evening.
Today i got wired up for a sleep test at home.
The old saying is:"Pics or it didn't happen".
Well, enjoy a laugh at my expense.
Felt funny driving home like a cyborg.

Glad to see people getting treatment and care for what ails.
I hope the sleep monitor gives your doc some info for treatment options.
and I hope for you Kari that you learn new abilities quickly so you can live your life to the fullest possible.
Dennis, I hope today goes smoothly. You probably wont have time to get online. She is going to want your full attention.
I am also getting treatment for my stress and will be getting a heart monitor soon to see if it records any murmurs or irregularities. ..... we were all so young once. And I am only 30 and am now feeling old. Good luck to all of you and best wishes.

My dad is on blood thinners, too. The slightest neck or scratch looks like a bloody fight! Yesterday he fell while coming up the steps and was knocked unconscious. I heard him fall. He broke three ribs and his collarbone on the left side. So it is back to the hospital routine for me. He is 90.

Thank you, Kathryn.
Give your Dad my best wishes for a speedy recovery Carl, it wouldn't have been nice to get those injuries especially at his age.
My husband is on blood thinners, he's alright shaving mostly but does most of the damage to his arms when feeding and cleaning out the guinea pigs, plus one of our cats thinks nothing of giving him a swipe on a regular basis.
You see his arms covered in cuts and bruises and he can never remember how he did it, or even that he has.

A son of our neighbor, soon to be 14 years old, visited me today after the school, to thank for this. It was first visit since my last hospital period. We are friends, I have been encouraging and advising him when possible in his IT interests, being sure his future is in this field.
He said he's sorry not to come earlier "but to be honest, I'm a bit nervous to meet old, sick people". I said I'm only a couple of weeks older than when we saw last time. "But I have never realized how old you are. You are even older than dad." (His dad is 37.)
Reality sucks!

Ouch, mind you it's the same with all kids you're over the hill when you get to 30, some even say 20, depends how old the kid is
It's wonderful to have your humour back with us Kari, even if you are over the hill

Thanks, Joan. He's a nice kid, mayby the only kid I know who I also consider as a good friend and I respect his honesty. However, it hurts a bit to notice how difficult it is to him to stay and talk with me; every time I say something, with my almost ununderstandable lisp, he cleary feels uncomfortable.
I think this time we were both happy when he went home, we have to start again with small steps.

My husband is on blood thinners, he's alright shaving mostly but does most of the damage to his arms when feeding and cleaning out the guinea pigs, plus one of our cats thinks nothing of giving him a swipe on a regular basis.
You see his arms covered in cuts and bruises and he can never remember how he did it, or even that he has.

That is definitely brutal reality! I have been to the dentist to have another tooth extracted.
Now that is definitely not fun! Hope the misery goes away quickly.
Hi Dwarf, did you get a replacement tooth installed?
I will buy Black Ops today.

Here is a brief blurb on Tysabri and why Donna and I were apprehensive about the side effects of this new MS treatment.
� TYSABRI increases your chance of getting a rare brain infection that usually causes death or severe disability. This infection is called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML usually happens in people with weakened immune systems. No one can predict who will get PML. Your chances may be higher if you are also being treated with medicines that weaken your immune system, including other MS treatments. If you use TYSABRI alone to treat your MS, you can still get PML. Your chance of getting PML increases with a longer period of treatment or if you have received medicines that can weaken your immune system prior to starting TYSABRI. However, PML is a rare event. There is no known treatment, prevention, or cure for PML.
So far now present effects from yesterdays't 1st treatment that repeat's in 4 weeks intervals.

Thanks Kathryn for your thoughts but do like I do............
I praise her, I applaud for her, I give her encouragement on whatever little task she can do.
Not once in 2 years, did she say that she didn't want her weekly injections of Avonex I gave her. Not once in the 1 year, did she say I don't want the Solu Medrol IV. Not once in the last 1.5 years did she say no to the daily injections of Copaxone.
So yesterday was the first time she asked me if we should try Tysabri and I was lost for words after reading some of the disclosure of this drug.
I know there are a lot of people, young and old, in this forum that are dealing with a variety of health issues and my comment to all of you is............"Never ever give up!" Have faith and live one day and one moment at a time. Always do and be your best then let the cards fall where they may.
Thank all of you for caring about all of us that are dealing with health and financial problems. You are the BEST!

Quote:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

An occupational therapist starts today my twice-a-week lessons in coping home alone, everyday survival. Guys, I'm over 50 but I am nervous as a child waiting to start school first time ever. Not first time I've noticed rehabilitation is like going back to school because suddenly everything you have learned throughout your life is forgotten and has to be re-learned. re-programmed to your small still existing brain.
Life is good. Rehabilitation sucks!

Another sleepless night, watching old re-runs of Two and a Half Men.
Something on screen bothered me, had a feeling there was something funny. Had to check.
Main character Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is in this episode interested in a children's ballet school teacher. To be able to be close to her, he pays $250 to his nephew, to go to the ballet lessons with small girls.
Anyway, long story short, I was sure I had seen something funny not really understanding it. Went back, found the place. Can you find the thing that catched my eye? The screenshot shows the entrance to this ballet school.

Here's the actual text of the Wikipedia article. While I was reading it, part of me was fascinated - (having never heard of Josph Pujol before), and the other part of me was saying: WTI (Waaaaaaay too much information!)
"Le P�tomane (
/l??p?t?me?n/, French pronunciation: [l?pet??man]) was the stage name of the French flatulist (professional farter) and entertainer Joseph Pujol (June 1, 1857�1945). He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to fart at will. His stage name combines the French verb p�ter, "to fart" with the -mane, "-maniac" suffix, which translates to "fartomaniac". The profession is also referred to as "flatulist", "farteur", or "fartiste".[1]It is a common misconception to state that Joseph Pujol actually farted as part of his stage performance. Farting implies the release through the anus of intestinal gases. Pujol was "gifted" in the sense that he was able to inhale air into his rectum and then control the release of that air using his sphincter muscles (avoiding any associated odour). Evidence of his ability to control those muscles can be seen in the early accounts of demonstrations of his abilities to fellow soldiers."
Along similar lines, here is a question.
Who was obliged to perform for King Henry II at Christmas Unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum ?
You should be able to find the answer by following the links on the aforementioned Wikipedia article on Le P�tomane.

I am at the library at the moment, because my computer broke down yesterday evening. I have rang PC World and they have got a techinican coming to my place on this Tuesday (16/11/10) and hopefully fix it on site. I am covered by their extended warranty. If he cannot fix it on site, he will take the tower away to their lab and fix it there, which can take up to 2 weeks to fix.
I will give you an update either on 16/11/10 from my PC, if it is fixed of course. Or on 17/11/10 from the library. Either way I will give you an update next week.
So I will not be on the forums until 16/11/10 at the earlist.

I've been thinking about buying a TV (HD) or a new Video Card (GTX 460) and a few games instead. I was leaning toward the video card for a while but after having the internet and phones at my house go out yesterday and stay down until earlier today (resolution at about 5 PM), I decided to buy the new TV instead. Bought a 50" Samsung Plasma 1080p TV. Very happy with my purchase, only cost me $900. I'm sure I'll be moaning and groaning come Black Friday with all the discounts out there though.
In the meantime, I love my new TV. Amazing to me that I can plug in my USB Hard Drive to the TV and watch videos straight off of it. And what's more, unlike my Xbox 360, the TV can read NTFS formatted hard drives. I love it!

Good choice, and you can still play games.
Now to hook the TV up to the computer.

Way to go, Kari. Everyone, step aside and give him some room to move please.
Yeah. Good luck with that Kari. I don't envy you this struggle.
Looking at the chair I bet you could drop a little 125cc bike engine in there. It would make shopping in the supermarket quite exhilarating

Today, got a call from the company i work for. I have been waiting for a new contract to start in December and basically am out of work till then.
The call was a nice surprise as they wanted my services as a contract Quarry Manager at a mine site for a few weeks. This will fill the void till i go to the new contract in the Tanami desert around the 9th of next month.
About time we got some good news.

Your other coffee fans out there, how much coffee you need let's say in a week? In our two adult household, we consume about 1 kilo (about 2.2 pounds) a week, dark roasted Italian espresso. Angie drinks 3 cups a day, a cappuccino in the morning and two espressos later, I'll take care of the rest.
We ground the beans ourselves. For reasons unknown to me me we need about 1.1 kilo coffee beans to get that 1 kilo grounded coffee; I can not understand where that 100 grams disappear when grounding...

2-3 cups per day for me, Kari. So I don't go through all that much, I guess.

Caffeine is a helluva drug.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine
lol no coffee for me. Makes me anxious...
the other 100 grams ends up in the gears of the grinder. Start weighing the grinder and you will see the weight change (im just kidding... maybe)
Dennis, I knew it's you! BE careful, I've sent a private eye to watch you...
BTW, this private eye sent me some photos he'd taken when following you. You really are an ugly old geek! I can not post those surveillance photos of you here, kids could see them, but I can give you an example: backside of one photo, taken when you were visiting that farm near you, my private eye had written an explanation: Here's Dennis with his neighbors old bull (Dennis on the left).

We waited until lunchtime yesterday for the engineer to turn up. When he didn't turn up Mum and I contacted PC World and found out that their depot had a power cut sometime in Monday night and messed up all of the deliveries and engineers.
Anyway we have sorted out for another engineer to come out to me sometime on this coming Saturday and hopefully fix it whilist he is at our house. I am really hoping that he fixes it on site, because if he has to take it away, it can be up to 2 weeks before getting it back again.
I will either update you over the weekend, or on Monday 22/11/10. At least it is covered by exteneded warrenty.
BTW, I think it is the motherboard, because it is just not starting up. Or it could be the Power Supply. Anyway they do have very good customer service and engineers.

Kari,
All you had to do was to ask me to leave.................and I am out of here.
Besides the shrink and I are in partnership with each other on a 50-50 split from your proceeds. I donated my share to Angie.
Just had a beer with the private contractor. Nice guy by the way. He said if I ignored you for a couple of weeks the "Hit was off!"
So for Angie's sake, I will delete you from my friendship list and ignore anything you post for 2 weeks.

I love a good insult when I see it.
Better reload cause I am off to play some golf. When I get back you can fire away!

Have a great day you old fart!

Well, today and tomorow I will be participating in Primegrid's Loneids challeng. It officialy started at 10AM, but I was at school, so i did not get to start untill 2PM, ive done about 40 WU. Other than that I hope SETI@home will have their 2 new servers set up by the end of the month.
I'm at work at the moment. I have just texted a couple of people selling a 2nd hand PC tower in the Friday-ad to see if I can get a cheap back-up tower. At least one can use for internet and watching some DVDs. This will be only used when there is something wrong with my main one.
I might go to the library tomorrow morning, before doing the afternoon at the shop. At least I can walk to the library, so I am not completely without Internet.

Today, I want no drama, so i'm picking up my boy after school, and just hanging out.
Today, my back hurts after a long night at work, so I am catching up on recorded TV shows from the last few days. A great way to spend an afternoon in bed.
Today I woke up feeling surprsingly happy. Recovering, rehabilitation is going better and faster than excepted. Good friend coming to long and keenly waited visit today. Woke up earlier when Angie brought cappuccino with fresh croissants, a newspaper and a hand written love poem to the bed.
Today is a good day to be alive. Today is a good day to remind my wife how incredible much I love her.

Today i took our bitch (no, not the handbrake) to the vets. X-ray confirmed she is pregnant with 3, possibly 4 pups. Both are pure bred brindle Staffordshire bull terriers. She is only about 12 months old, but having 3-4 pups will not be to bad for her.
I fly back to work on tuesday, and pups are due late next week.
Sally is not looking forward to being on her own to deal with it. Would be ok if she wasn't an invalid.
I'm in the process of getting everything ready for the whelping.

A good, old friend just left. He visited us, only four hours now because of his schedule problems, but it was nice to meet him. We have not so many opportunities to meet face to face nowadays, so luckily he comes back for a few days before ending his work related European tour in a few weeks and returning home to Galveston, Texas.

Received my next piece of coursework for Uni today off the Intranet for my Operating System course. I have to build a fully working file system, either based on the simpler, yet less efficient FAT32, or the more intricate NTFS and optimise a 10MB HDD. I have 4 weeks to do it, so this next month is going to be fun.

Now sitting in patio, watching beautiful fall sunset, enjoying the best Scotland has produced with a nice Dominican cigar, listening good music from laptop, eying SF.
Life could not be better.
For the record, last time I've been this long without my beloved Single Malt was just before my 18th birthday over 30 years ago...

Dennis, unfortunately I can't test your idea now. The CEO has appointed herself also as the CMO (Chief Medical Officer), and as such she has forced me to end my civilized enjoyment immediately after noticing almost half of Laphroiag was consumed in less than an hour.
But I can guarantee you, the testing will resume in near future!

Today I spent approx 4 hours cleaning out the Sister-in-Law's Laptop. It had a Trojan. Then I went to work and spent 3 hours configuring a new CAD Workstation (Dell Precision T7500) for one of my users who needs it first thing in the morning. I then came home and spent over an hour shoveling snow from the Driveway, sidewalks, and steps. And now I relaxing checking out my favorite Forum for the rest of the evening.

Winnipeg, Utsjoki, Leipzig
A is your Winnipeg, B where I'm coming from, Utsjoki in Finnish Lapland, and C Leipzig where I live now.
I can understand winter has already arrived in Utsjoki, night temperatures between -6�C and -13�C (21�F to 8�F) and snow enough to give to some tropical countries, as we say back home.
But Winnipeg and Leipzig are approximately at the same level. You had to showel snow today, we had a beautiful fall day with temperatures around 10�C (50�F)

I used ours to clean up part of the driveway...the rest I had to do by hand. �� Quote: Originally Posted by Kari �� Quote: Originally Posted by dobhar Today I spent approx 4 hours cleaning out the Sister-in-Law's Laptop.

Winnipeg, Utsjoki, Leipzig
A is your Winnipeg, B where I'm coming from, Utsjoki in Finnish Lapland, and C Leipzig where I live now.
I can understand winter has already arrived in Utsjoki, night temperatures between -6�C and -13�C (21�F to 8�F) and snow enough to give to some tropical countries, as we say back home.
But Winnipeg and Leipzig are approximately at the same level. You had to showel snow today, we had a beautiful fall day with temperatures around 10�C (50�F)
Earth is interesting!
Kari
If you take a look at that map again you'll see how much more north Utsjoki in Finnish Lapland is, compared to Winnipeg. The Gulf Stream is very powerful phenomen, only thing that can explain this. In Scandinavia we get the benefits of that, it seems it really warms especially our winters.
Here's a couple pics of the recent dump we got over the last few days...Last weekend there was no snow on the ground.

I can still remember October 2006. We were in Finland, preparing our holiday cottage there for winter. A beautiful fall, almost more like the end of summer, as this pic showing me coming from sauna shows:
Then, only a few days later:
And then it really began, so fast it was incredible to see:
All pics within a week, same place. Two last pictures within 6 hours.

we rarely see snow in fact i think we have only had about ten days snow in as many years, well maybe fourteen days
i so miss the snow as i grew up in Scotland and recall playing in the snow and sledging etc.
heres hoping that we'll see some again this year, no need for snow blowers here although because we have such sparse showing of snow when it does snow cornwall comes to a standstill. the schools close also , i think it is more to do with letting the kids enjoy the snow as it could be years until they see it again.we did have some last year and the year before it was four years before that and a further six years before that, we have palm trees and banana trees down here in Cornwall

What are you doing in Finland, if I may ask? And yes, it's already almost like that there now.
Taking my little girl to see Santa and play with reindeer's and huskies
Your little one would certainly love a personal letter from Santa? Take a look at this: http://www.santagreeting.net/?a_aid=77c2c6f0
That place, Santa's real home, is near the town of Rovaniemi, capital of region Lapland, 130 kilometers south from Saariselk�.

Oh, I might get her one of those.
I recommend, it's a marvelous Christmas present to all kids. I order every year for almost all kids I know. Those letters really look fantastic, with special stamps etc.
BTW, I want to give you some brownie points for using � in word Saariselk�

Copy & paste
Saari = island, selk� = back (as in "My back hurts"), also something like "out there".

At around this time of year The Ginger Folk gather to celebrate the birth of Boohbah.
Their ullulating cries can be heard long into the night.
Some say he is ancient and that he came into the world fully formed.
All we know for sure is that, like many of The Ginger Folk, he has devoted decades to growing a beard, for the benefit of all mankind.
We must praise him and give him cake!

The engineer did come last Saturday and my PC has to be collected, so they can fix it, sometime on this Wednesday 24/11/10. It is the power supply. I know it is long-winded, but it is cover by extended warranty.
If they cannot fix I do have a right to replace it after 6 weeks (in vouchers or something similar).
I will ring PC World next Monday for an update.

Sorry Dinish. Better tomorrow?
With Thanksgiving coming this week, I'm cooking, cooking, cooking! My house smells incredible from all the good smells coming out of the kitchen.

well you will have to reimburse me somehow its not gone unoticed you havent wished me a happy birthday today you naughty man. i sense a picture coming.
We've been fighting whole day now. She is frustrated due to her mother's loss and I m frustrated due to my job.
sorry to hear that dinesh ,its very early days for your girlfriend coming to terms with the loss of her mum, when people are upset they tend to take it out on those they love, if you can keep it in mind that is whats happening it will help you handle it better and maybe row less, work stress is something i know little about but will be easier to deal with if things are better between you and your girlfriend.
good luck with that.
good luck with that.

These type of occurrences usually end up with a period of 24-48 hours of cold shoulder and silence.

One year on Halloween, 8 of my friends and I all dressed up in full gorilla suits and went to various places for parties. We went to a strip club where my buddy ended up on stage under a stripper, you should see those pictures! But the best was we went to a local hotel where there was a free party. We climbed the sign, and rearranged the letters there. We managed to spell out "Gorillas arrive, f*** dogs"
. Then as we were about to enter, there was a girl dressed like Jane w/ her boyfriend dressed like Tarzan. We all picked her up and making our best Gorilla sounds carried her into the party.. I wish I had the pictures! One of them was of me "picking bugs" off another buddies head, lol. I think alcohol was involved...�� Quote: Originally Posted by Dinesh It was a bad day today.

Kari Amusing occurrence at work today. I work with people with schizophrenia and on Tuesdays I take a group of them to the public library and show them the basics of looking stuff up etc., on the internet.
Today I was helping a guy who loves hot chili sauce find a supplier of his favourite sauce.
He found the website and there was a video on it so he borrowed a set of 'phones and watched this vid of a guy talking about their various sauces, all of which had silly names.
Halfway through he turned to me, still wearing the headphones, and shouted:
"I must have some of Satan's Blood"
About 40 people turned from their monitors to look at him.

We've had some snow, not much but it's been trying on and off all day to fall again and the temperature showing on my desktop gadget shows 36�F at present but that will drop as the night goes on.
My son at the other end of the country has had a lot more, luckily he's just moved so wont have so far to drive for work now, which is a blessing where he lives.

It is cold here in Northern California at about 38 degrees F in the morning but the sun is shinning.
Present temp is around 54.
Hope everyone over here didn't over eat today. Makes it harder to get out of bed for the early risers on Black Friday. I'll still be in bed. bah humbug!

We began today with a lot of clouds , temps at 78� or so.. then it began the decent...
within a few hours the temps were already in the 40s.. we'll get to 32� or below tonite...
burr the rain was sure cold.. the northwestern part of the state had snow showers.. and sleet.

Crisp and cold here in Milwaukee. About 20 degrees this evening. No snow though. Thanksgiving dinner was awsome!!! Well worth the wait!
I have been to see my Job Advisor in Hastings this morning. I'm in the library at the moment as I am job-searching. Later I'm will be working in the shop. You won't see me on the forums until next Wednesday, unless my tower comes back before that. Still no snow, but frezzing cold, hopefully we will miss out.
Hurry back and have a good weekend.
I was busy all yesterday with cooking and then hanging out with a friend. My wife and I cooked a feast and luckily the turkey turned out wonderful!
Happy Thanksgiving to all and good luck today on black friday.

Black Friday.....i'm not going anywhere near a damn store. That many idiotic, selfish people in one spot at one time should be outlawed.
Sports and relaxing for me today. It's pretty cold here, so I wasn't planning on doing anything anyway. Wisconsin has finally gotten "typical" temps for this time of year.

Black Friday back there, on the "wrong side of the pond" . A happy, white and yellow and sparkling red Friday here; I'm already walking, although only short distances and very, very slowly. Months of slowly clicking on-screen display with trackball button are over, using normal keyboards and mouse. And speech: what a fabulous feeling when I can already talk so that people can (almost) understand me, although left side of my mouth is still useless, hanging a foot or two lower than the rest of the mouth ...
Weekend ahead, no physiotherapy or speech lessons, just relaxing. Home bar fully stocked, a giant piece of reindeer sirloin waiting to be grilled. Angie more beautiful than ever before.
I'm happy and very much in love.
Life is good. Mac OSX sux!

Kari,
If I were there I would give you a big wolf hug.
That goes double for your care provider Angie. Tell Angie to lock the bar until the left side of your mouth gets better. Don't want to waste the good booze running down your face.
Have a wonderful week-end my friend.
Thanks Dennis. By the way, have you noticed those photos of you taken to that "Bad Geek Dennis" calendar you are giving to your wife this Christmas are now circulating the web? I just found this, you as Mr. December: Dennis as Mr. December

Do you think the SF graphics team could make a 2011 SF geeks calendar ?
It would go nicely along side the 2011 Hooters' calendar

I told Doc not to Facebook my photo until I get a tummy tuck or somebody does a Photo Shop touch up. Darn him!
Look out Doc...............paybacks are forthcoming..
Seeing you dressed as Mr. December made me very, very afraid of seeing how you are dressed as Mr. June...

Nice to hear from you, Dinesh!
Today started the Kaamos back where I'm from, in Lapland. Word Kaamos comes from Sami language, spoken by Sami people in arctic regions of Scandinavia. It means a polar night; after sun was set yesterday, it's not rising until end of January. It's a two month long night, opposite to our two months long midnight sun period in the summer when sun is almost two months visible and we have daylight 24/7.
A dear friend sent an email today, sent at 1:30 PM. It was -31�C (-24�F), snow depth 30+ centimeters (12 inches) and pitch dark, he wrote, telling also about the traditional party yesterday. Friends gathered together to say Good Bye to Sun (normally we Lapps need no excuse to party, but this one is good).
It's two times a year I miss home especially much, after 25+ years living abroad. The last day to see the Sun, end of November, when we used to sit outside with friends, drinking Gl�gg and watching sunrise and sunset within 40 minutes, preparing for the long Polar Night. And the same party in end of January, first appearance of the Sun.
A Lappish joke:
A suspect is questioned by police. Suspect's alibi is not clear, so the questioning police officer asks:
-"Where did you spend the night between November 29th and January 23rd?"

The village of Kevo in Utsjoki, Lapland, Finland is over 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) north of Polar Circle, so we really have a Polar night there and Midnight Sun in the summer; south Lapland, closer to the the Arctic Circle there's also Polar Night but it's not so completely dark because of the twilight hours, dusk and dawn.
Kari's Completely Useless Trivial Information, part 19,246: Finnish region of Lapland is 98,984 km2 (38,217.9 square miles); as such it would be the 38th biggest if it was a state in the USA, a tiny bit smaller than Kentucky (37th), bigger than following Indiana, Maine, South Carolina and others.
In this area lives only 184,000 people, an average of 1.9 / km2 (4.8 / square mile), compared for instance to American average of 32 / km2 (83 / square mile) or Californian 90.49 / km2 (234.4 / square mile)

Today I'm feeling good and quite lucky.
I still have both my parents who at 85 years old still have their health, I was at a family party yesterday and caught my dad having fun, and this is after spending two hours making a toy box for his great grandson, that left him, allegedly, unable to move.

It's a two month long night, opposite to our two months long midnight sun period in the summer when sun is almost two months visible and we have daylight 24/7.
A dear friend sent an email today, sent at 1:30 PM. It was -31�C (-24�F), snow depth 30+ centimeters (12 inches) and pitch dark, he wrote, telling also about the traditional party yesterday. Friends gathered together to say Good Bye to Sun (normally we Lapps need no excuse to party, but this one is good).
It's two times a year I miss home especially much, after 25+ years living abroad. The last day to see the Sun, end of November, when we used to sit outside with friends, drinking Gl�gg and watching sunrise and sunset within 40 minutes, preparing for the long Polar Night. And the same party in end of January, first appearance of the Sun.
A Lappish joke:
A suspect is questioned by police. Suspect's alibi is not clear, so the questioning police officer asks:
-"Where did you spend the night between November 29th and January 23rd?"
Life is Good! Mac OSX sux!

P.S. Thanks to all your dear fellow geeks for the supporting comments regarding my recovery.

That is a great video, looks like they are having a really good time.
You are indeed very fortunate.
I hope I can do that when I'm their ages.
Glad to hear such good news and thoughts all around Makes me happy.
Makes me happy. It's 5:45 AM, been already awake over an hour. Could sleep a bit under 3 hours. Haven't slept over 4 hours a night in ages. Those strokes didn't kill me but I'm starting to believe this insomnia is going to do just that.
Since I joined the Seven Forums, I've been addicted. Before retirement, I even lost a couple workdays, beeing too tired to work after an allnighter here. No problem, I found a balance which suited both me and Angie, and my work. Now, SF is the thing that makes this, not beeing able to sleep enough, a bit easier. I've promised to Angie I don't loose my sleep because of SF, meaning I'm going to bed every night with her, but she has said it's OK if I come back online after those few hours I can sleep.
Anyway, something has to change. I need more sleep. That's why I'm going to meet a shrink today. I've met her a couple times already, she is specialized to treat people after a serious injure, stroke etc., helping to cope with a big change in life. I was sent to see her in first place by my neurologist. I only met her a couple of times, after which I decided it was a waste of time. Friday I called her and made an appointment, telling that I can cope with my life as it is, I am so grateful to be alive and recovering well, but I need help to be able to sleep. Luckily she had an opening today.
So, today shrink followed by speech therapy. If the shrink is really good, I should be able to sleep 9 hours minimum next night. Or?
Anyway, Life is good! Mac OSX sux!

Here's hoping for the best Kari. It isn't smoke and mirrors, but it isn't fine science either, but there is something to it, and I hope they can help. A Guy
I suffered from some trauma that caused insomnia a while back, and what helped me out the most was the thing I turned to last, a medication. Ambien saved me from my insomnia, I took it for about three or four weeks, and I now sleep 8 hrs a night like clockwork, no matter when I retire

Thanks everyone for all the nice words regarding the Video, these little things do make the day a little brighter
Today the famous iPhone Dev team released a career unlock for iPhone 3G and 3GS. Finally unlocked my friend's iPhone. He is extremely happy( & me too).
Kari, I wish you well in overcoming insomnia. That can be a really tough one to overcome.
Kari,
The first thing you need to ask yourself is what are you doing and eating before you go to bed!
If you are eating dinner along with coffee/alcohol followed by deserts(Chocolate) could be one of the problems.
Always eat 3-4 hours before retiring.
I have an Rx for Ambien XR for ONLY those nights when the day has been stressful and Donna has had a rough day. Sometimes I can't sleep because of the fear of me dying and who is going to take good care of Donna?
Sometimes you can Psyche yourself out by thinking about getting a good night sleep and because of this you can't sleep.
Open yourself up to the Psychiatrist by being honest and laying it out all there. Tell he/she exactly what you are thinking and doing through your normal day.
We are all behind you and want you 100% healthy so you and Angie can enjoy the rest of your life together.
That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Well said Dennis, hopefully Kari will take notice and be able to open up and let the psychiatrist help.
Kari we know you are making wonderful progress but you need to get this sleep disorder sorted out so that you can continue to heal fully.

Thanks for sympathy, geeks
Met the shrink, talked about insomnia. We are going to try without chemicals, at least for now. I'm already eating so many different pills because of this stroke treatment, I do not want to drug myself anymore if it's absolutely not necessary.
Basically, everything should be OK. I am quite a happy man; I am where I want to be, with whom I want to be, doing what I want to do, I have no relationship problems with family and friends. I eat vegetables and fruits almost every week, do not drink a fraction as much as earlier. I'm recovering surprisingly well, have accepted that my earlier lifestyle caused the strokes and am willing to change the lifestyle to stay on this globe of ours as long as possible.
Let's see what the shrink can find. Angie said it's good my head is so empty, at least it should be easy to search...

No I wont comment Half empty or half full?

Kari, like many men, are strong physically and will test their strength to the limits.
Mentally, some like Kari and myself, think we are invincible and will stop at nothing nor is any challenge to difficult to take on.
Somehow that mixture leads to health problems which will stop a bull in its tracks.
We all know Kari and I are two sandwiches short of a picnic so to do a brain scan on either of us is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
That's my story and I am sticking to it! Ouch ...I just got pricked by a needle.

Thank you Dave and LPT.
I did ring PC World yesterday, and my tower is in their workshop waiting to get repaired soon hopefully. We have had some snow last night, but not very much only a covering. The roads are clear for the moment at least and I had to walk Gracie earlier as dad cannot work to-day as there is snow.
I have texted my driving instructor earlier about tomorrow's lesson and see what he wants to do about it.
Next on the forums: 2/12/10.

Well done Dinesh on your first year in the new job, I'm very pleased to hear that you are progressing so well, having a job these days is a good thing and having one you enjoy is a bonus so you just keep your head down and we'll be here to wish you congratulations in your second year it will seem to fly by now.
Today, I came back from Tennessee after visiting my girlfriend after quite some time of being in a long-distance relationship. Every chance I get to go see her is a blessing to me, and I couldn't pass up taking the opportunity given by this Thanksgiving break to go see her. Of course, I did spend a late Thanksgiving Day dinner with my parents.

That cat is brilliant Julian, by the way did Danny put his wellies on the wrong feet

Nice work Julian, leaving the cat out overnight saves so much time when it comes to snow sculptures.
They're also easier to transport for the holidays that way....

Had "walking lessons" today, got angry and said something not so nice to physiotherapist. I tried to tell her I can no more, I have to rest, and she keeps yelling "Are you a man or a boy, 10 more steps!", and finally I fell quite badly, hitting my nose and forehead to the floor.
Although it was about 30 years ago but if I recall it correctly, taking driving lessons to get a driver's license was not half as difficult than trying to get a "walker's license".

Your therapist and I have something in common. To get you and Donna up on your feet and walking. Her goal is to get out of the wheel chair and use the walker.
She has fallen many times but gets back up and presses on.
So, little boy, get up and get going!! Never ever give up!

but I know they are trying to help you, so keep trying! Dennis, I'm walking already, although only short distances and very, very slowly. But this physiotherapist says all the time it's just in my head, I could do better, pushing me more than my sadistic drill sergeant did when doing my conscription in the Finnish Navy.
I thought my goal was to be able to walk normally. She seems to think she's a sport coach, preparing me for the Berlin Marathon...

She'll be proud of you if you can walk several blocks but won't show it.
She will probably say to you...I WANT MORE FROM YOU KARI!!!
Your therapist is just what you need. Someone to drill it in you to go for the sky!

Can you tell that in german ? My mind is to lazy to translate that.
From Google Translate (I hope that is correct, but I'm sure that Kari will correct if not):
F�r mich sehen, mehr als downsitting aufrechten
F�r mich sehen, mehr als downsitting aufrechten
My small but true joke didn't work, told here in English. It's just this how in English several combined words, like putting up and stand together to form the word upstanding, means something completely different than either of those words alone, or even together but written separately.
Our beautiful Staffy, Holly, finaly gave birth to her litter.
The sad thing was the first born. Neither Holly or us had experience with welping and when we had a still born, it was a very sad moment.
The vet had taken an x-ray some time ago and thought from what she could see, we would end up with 3-4 pups. Well, after the first sad moment, elation. Over a period of time, she gave birth to 5 more.
Both dogs are brindle staffies. As you can see by the pics, there is NO doubt who the father is, lol.
Sally and I are very proud parents.

Well done to Molly, they look a very healthy lot good luck with her raising them, it's a pity about the first one but as they say that's life.
You've got your work cut out now trying to control that lot as they grow but I'm sure you'll love every minute of it. What did you get and how many of each ?

Well isn't today turning out to be a good one. I have no water and no heating, I notice a puddle of water on my kitchen floor just outside the airing cupboard door looked in and the water was coming down the door frame and then started dripping quite badly.
Just after 9 pm the plumber came out went up in the loft and found a joint or something was broke and leaking he didn't have the correct one on him so all he could do was drain off water from the tanks to ease the pressure and stop the dripping and he'll come back in the morning with the part.
The system has to be all drained down so no heating and no water until I don't know what time tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that, Joan!
Thanks Kari, it wouldn't be so bad if the house was built properly so that it managed to keep some heat in but it's a bungalow with concrete slabs for outer walls and all internal walls are just sheets of plaster board fastened to wooden framework.
You can't do cavity wall insulation on it as there are no cavity's, so I would think the thickness of the outer walls is about 3 or 4 inches, if that.
Around here they are what are called Waverley, something similar to pre-fabs and it was built in the 60's as a holiday cottage.

Well Joan,
Bundle up and keep warm till the Plumber returns.
Any neighbors to stay with for the evening?
I have an extra room and electric blanket for you.

Also, that your plumber has arrived and fixed your leak.
Well the plumber is still here, he came last night to stop the leak for the night thus leaving us without water and heating and came back this morning. He's fixed the leak but still trying to get the heating working again, because he had to do a part drain down it's put air in the system and he's trying to get it out so the blooming radiators will work again, and I'm having problems typing as my fingers are so cold but hopefully we'll get there, sometime today I hope.

Sorry to hear about your problems, Joan. I have lived in a cold climate, so understand the frustrations.
Hope it all goes well and gets fixed.

Brrr, I'm live in California, so if it gets below 60 it's cold I think Kari has a recipe that will warm you up, but believe you've said you are a teetotaler

And since the plumber is there, something for Joan to remember....
Today I'll be learning all the day
Today i have been looking after Holly and her new puppies, researching which parts to buy for Sally's new Christmas pressie.
And if that is not enough, have also been pulling parts out of one server to update another to be used as a storage computer.
And if that is not enough, have also been pulling parts out of one server to update another to be used as a storage computer.
I am glad the leak is fixed. I hope your heat is working by time you read this.
Joan, hopefully you aren't freezing anymore!
Well hopefully today my car gets towed to the neighbors garage so the exhaust can be fixed and the rear struts replaced, because my cousin wore out both my rear struts and trashed my entire exhaust system by driving over rocks sticking out of the road.
Today I ended my lovenox therapy ... Life is good!

After the Lovenox course when do you and how often do you have to go back for lab work?
It's important to keep eye on diet, blood pressure, and platelet count.
Glad to see you ending Lovenox Therapy.
Wife is headed for 2nd IV Tysabri Infusion this Friday.
So far I have seen no improvement
I'll be doing labs weekly for 6-8 weeks, then every month for the foreseeable future ... Im just glad to be done with those da*n injections!
Tom, do you still have to take some blood thinning medicine?

When my wife was on Copaxone Inj. she hated to see my coming with the needle.
It was pre-loaded but a DAILY injection. But after 2 years of it we could tell it wasn't working so now she is on Tysabri every 4 weeks.
Glad to hear you've finished that treatment for now Tom I hope things get better for you.
And I'm still not warm the plumber was here until just after lunch but had to go as he had to be somewhere, still don't have heating and he's tried several things, even put a new pump in but thinks it is an air problem and it's just blocked up somewhere.
He's coming back tomorrow and he's going to have to completely drain down the system and empty all the radiators then fill and start again, so it had better work after that.
The temperature is suppose to be -3�F over night, I do have a fireplace but that's only in one room and it will go out through the night so getting up in the morning is going to be a nightmare as I don't have any other heaters. Luckily I had some coal so I could light a fire after having to open it all up again but it's only a small open fire that soon goes out if you don't keep feeding it coal.
Anyway I'm going to disappear soon and go back in that room to warm up, it's too cold to stay down here and I don't have a laptop to use in there, not sure if my new Nintendo DS would work getting in here even though I can get onto the Internet with it and browse around.
Keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll have the system back working later tomorrow.

Joan, so sorry to hear that your system is not fixed. Certainly not the ideal time for this sort of problem.
Wrap up and stay as warm as you can...

I know about the cold here .. was only 42� for our high.. burrr..that's cold for the south.

Today, Monday the 6th of December 2010 my warmly beloved and greatly missed Finland celebrates her 93rd birthday. The indepence day is to us Finns very important, reminding us how close it came to lose our freedom. Two times, both in 1917 and 1939-45. The text below is an immigrants sentimental rant, you can stop reading now if that kind of stuff disturbs you.
Finland never was a sovereign country, per se. We were a part of Kingdom of Sweden until Sweden lost us to Russian Csar in 1809, in what is today called as Finnish War. Finland became an autonomous Grand Duchy in impearilistic Russian Empire. From those days we still are officially a bilingual country, Swedish language having an official status beside Finnish. When Lenin was causing major disturbance in Russia, the Csar had so much other things in his mind the Finnish nationalists decided the time was right to declare Finland independent. Surprisingly, Lenin won in St. Petersburg but he too had so much other things to worry he accidentally accepted the Finnish declaration of independence, as one of the first of his foreign policy decicions after the revolution. So, the independent and sovereign Republic of Finland was born on 6th of December 1917.
Living next to the Great Bear was not easy, especially considering Finland has almost thousand kilometers border with Russia. When World War II began, we had basically no alternatives; we allied with nazi Germany. Luckily our government very soon realized that whatever happens, we have to change our allies. The rest of the war we faught a comical war; allied with West, against nazis, but at the same time fighting against Soviet Union. As such, Finland is the only country that fought most of the war against nazis and (one of) allied forces. Reason is clear, Stalin could not accept that a west country had it's border only 50 kilometers from Leningrad. He demanded the eastern part of Finland as a buffer zone.
The war ended, we lost about 10% of our soil. We had to give Karelia and Petsamo, the eastern parts of our country to Stalin, to keep him on the "right side of the border". But: in the WWII, there were only three capital cities of war participating countries never occupied by the enemy: London, Moscow and our Helsinki. Finland was the first country (and quite a long time the only one) who paid the war compensations to the last penny. Finland is the only country bordering Soviet Union who could keep the western, capitalistic system and didn't fall under the Soviet umbrella after the war.
Both my grandfathers fought against both Germans and Russians. I'm proud of our independence and my granfathers' part in that. We are only 5.3 million people, a half of that of New York City or Berlin. We are not very well known, normally people know only Nokia, Linus Torvalds, Jean Sibelius and some ice-hockey players or rally and Formula 1 drivers. What people seem not to know is that since 50's, Finnish troops have been an essential part of almost every UN peace keeping operation, or that our former president's have had an essential role when negotiating peace in Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Namibia, Sumatra (former region of Indonesia) and other parts of this globe of ours.
Don't misunderstand me: I love my German wife and family very much and have chosen to live an immigrants life here, rather than in my Finland. I love my life and my home. It is my own choice, based on my bottomless love to my beautiful wife Angelika. My home is where Angie is, no question of that. But as in every home in Finland, or in every Finnish home abroad, tonight at exactly 6PM I light those traditional blue and white candles by every window at home. To remember how close it was some 60+ years ago, to thank the fathers of my mother and father for fighting for my, my childrens and my grandchildrens freedom, to show how proud I am when I can say "I am a Finn!", and to remember home is not a place, it is a state of mind. My home is hear in Germany, but part of my heart can not and will not forget my origins.

It is my own choice, based on my bottomless love to my beautiful wife Angelika. My home is where Angie is, no question of that. But as in every home in Finland, or in every Finnish home abroad, tonight at exactly 6PM I light those traditional blue and white candles by every window at home. To remember how close it was some 60+ years ago, to thank the fathers of my mother and father, to show how proud I am when I can say "I am a Finn!", and to remember home is not a place, it is a state of mind. My home is hear in Germany, but part of my heart can not and will not forget my origins.

Good morning Kari and Dinesh (morning here anyway)
I'm with Dinesh.
Nice history lesson Kari.
Mike
I'm with Dinesh.
Nice history lesson Kari.
Mike
Thanks, Dinesh. As a history and geography freak, I'm also interested in your young country's history. Loved to read the story of Saleem Sinai, born on the night you got independence, in Salman Rushdie's excellent book the Midnight's Children. Been there a couple of times, seen the speed of the development last 20 years.
For you, Dinesh, here's Angie in India. Picture taken on our last trip there together, August of 2006. Location is somewhere near Uttar Pradesh. I'm the photographer, in picture our driver and guide with Angie (Angie on the right):

P.S. Sorry geeks, a bit sentimental today. Anyway, life is good! Mac OSX sux!

), for a Finn it's like St. Patrick's for the Irishmen or Fourth of July for you geeks on the wrong side of the pond My surfing comes to an end in couple of hours, then it's a night out with our small ex-pat community and after party at our home. I shaved myself the first time since August this morning, tuxedo was picked from dry cleaners on Saturday, bowtie and socks ironed, my neighbor is at this very moment in town with my shopping list, to stock my bar. The speech is written and rehearsed; I'm the oldest one in our small ex-pat group so it's my responsibility. Angie has promised to be a designated driver, both for the car and my wheelchair (walking all night still not possible).

Yippee I have heating as from about 5 pm today, it has been a nightmare and the plumber said it's the worst he's had to deal with but at last we have it working again, although not so good is the fact that being without heating has caused my husband to become ill.
It will probably take a couple of days for the house to become really warm again, especially after last night and the minus temps and the same again tonight brrrrrrrrrrr

Just had a delivery. Sally's comp parts arrived. Got real exited till i found upon opening it, they only put 1 ssd drive in it, instead of 2.
Awaiting the second ssd, which may not arrive till after i have flown back to work.
It is annoying, but nothing like Joan's heating problem. Warming up yet, Joan??

We had lots of snow last week, so the Library was closed from last Tuesday until last Saturday. I also couldn't get to work last week as there were no buses or trains last Thursday.
Now the snow has gone from the south east and hopefully we will have dry weather and no more snow at least for the time being. I still have no computer, it might come back this week, but if it doesn't I will ring them next Monday morning. I will not ring before that, just in case they have got behind themselves, because of the snow.
I got my new phone on last Saturday and got delayed by the snow, as we had no post for about 3 days. At least I can check my email with this new phone.
Also I did not have my driving lesson last week, because the weather got so bad. I have got one tomorrow.
I will update you tomorrow afternoon at the Library.

When I was a kid my Mom boiled some water, put Vicks Vapo Rub in the hot water, stirred it and then put a towel over my head like a tent. I sat in a chair with the hood over my head and breathed in the vapor from the hot mixture.
Sure cleared my head and lungs up. Might want to give this a try.
I don't think he'd be able to do that Dennis, he can't even use a Vick's Inhaler because of the medications he's on plus he can't breathe through his nose, thanks for the suggestion though.

Vicks VapoRub
History
In 1890, pharmacist Lunsford Richardson took over the retail drug business of his brother-in-law Dr. Joshua Vick, of Selma, Greensboro, North Carolina.[1] After Dr. Joshua Vick saw an ad for Vick's Seeds, Lunsford Richardson began marketing Vick�s Family Remedies.[1] The basic ingredients of the range included Castor oil, liniment, 'dead shot' vermifuge.[1] The most popular remedy was Croup and Pneumonia Salve, which was first compounded in 1891, in Greensboro. It was introduced in 1905 with the name Vick's Magic Croup Salve and rebranded as VapoRub in 1912 at the instigation of Smith Richardson, Lunsford's oldest son[1] ; Smith had gained valuable sales and marketing experience while working for a period in New York and Massachusetts after attending college. Smith Richardson assumed the presidency of the company in 1919 upon his father's death.

Another remedy is to slice the ends of an onion, put it in a bowl with a little water added to it and place it at the bedside of the sick one. This is supposed to draw the illness from the sick and make him fell better quicker.
The onion will turn black the next morning.
If I can fetch that e-mail I will post it ASAP.

Found it....
Let�s check it out the components inside onions that have play significant role to your health.
Researchers from University of Bern, Swiss found growth plate chondrocytes (GPCS) inside onions. This crucial component, GPCS, is effective to prevent osteoporosis. GPCS works by preventing bone mass reduction, including calcium. For that reason, onions are claimed to have significant role to avoid osteoporosis.
One of few published studies in humans, from India, dates back some 30 years, but it found that people with diabetes who ate 2 ounces (60 g) of onions a day experienced a significant drop in blood sugar levels. Researchers credit these effects to the sulfur compounds in onions as well as their flavonoids. These powerful antioxidant compounds also help fight some of the side effects of high blood sugar, not to mention heart disease.
One study found that people who ate the most onions, along with other foods rich in flavonoids, had a 20 percent lower risk of heart disease. Thanks to their sulfur compounds which help prevent dangerous blood clots and lower high blood pressure. Since sulfur compounds are strongly anti-inflammatory, onions may also help relieve the pain and swelling of arthritis. Plus, onions even seem to boost HDL, the �good� cholesterol.
Onions are one of the richest food sources of chromium, a trace mineral that improves the body�s ability to respond to insulin.
Bear in your mind now, onions hold crucial part in your health as follows:
1) preclude weakened bones
2) avoid osteoporosis
3) decreasing blood sugar levels
4) lowering the risk of heart disease
5) prevent dangerous blood clots
6) lowering high blood pressure
7) boosting you HDL, the �kind� cholesterol
8) improve your body�s ability to respond to insulin
9) relieve the pain and swelling of arthritis
Therefore, it is strongly suggested to eat an onion each day. It is a must also to have onions in your kitchen as the simplest natural home remedies

This gold-hued wonder hasn't changed much since its introduction back in 1895. Sure, it's a little intense, but no other mouthwash can compete with its impressive germ-killing career.

Back in my old, bad habits again. Recovering maybe too fast, or rather thinking I'm recovering faster than I actually am?
Woke up yesterday morning having a mother of all hangovers (reason). Made a pot of coffee, sat in front of my desktop at 8AM. The hangover took control of me finally at 4PM, had to go to bed for a couple of hours, after "only" 8 continuous hours online eating nothing, drinking a bit whisky and a lot of coffee. Back online some hours later at 8PM, and since that all the time posting, again only with whisky and coffee. It's now 2PM, so now "only" 18 hours online time. If any doubt, check my last posts since yesterday morning European time. A 30 hours session with whisky and coffee, broken only for 4 hours yesterday afternoon.
Canceled neorologist yesterday and physiotherapy today. Don't take my medicin due the fear what they could cause, having at the moment only very little blood in my body alcohol... Angie went to shop after breakfast, she slammed the door so loud at least our German members could hear it... She's mad at me now, not saying a word.
Hopefully this still ongoing session at least ends early tonight, hopefully I get to sleep around the clock.
Life is (mostly) good, Mac OSX still sux!

Woke up yesterday morning having a mother of all hangovers (reason). Made a pot of coffee, sat in front of my desktop at 8AM. The hangover took control of me finally at 4PM, had to go to bed for a couple of hours, after "only" 8 continuous hours online eating nothing, drinking a bit whisky and a lot of coffee.

If you dont then dennis ,hoppy and myself will come over and take turns .......
I know this all guys, but thanks anyway for caring. Hopalong, that's precisely why I refuse to take my pills now; I need to wait until after a well slept night. Hopefully tonight. If I go to bed now, at 3:30PM, it's a doomed try to normalize the rhytm. I try to stay awake a few more hours and trying then to sleep, to reset the situation.
Anyway, I was explaining to myself this to be normal behaviour after the long abstinence, mainly from PC's and the net, that it's just normal to want to gain the lost moments. I'm also explaining this to me by thinking I'm allowed to try to remember, to get my memories back (I still have a black hole in my memory from late August to mid October). I know this is not right, I understand the weakness of my explanations.
Funny, I could have never thought I could one day feel myself so much befriended with you virtual friends I could tell things like this. Today I even like Dennis!

Kari,
Dennis does NOT LIKE YOU! I will not sympathize with you. My brother WAS the same way.
You are drinking you life away. The next time you pull this stupid ass stunt Angie will walk out the door and never come back. You are an Alcoholic! Time to look in the mirror and say it.
I AM AN ALCOHOLIC!!!!
You are reverting back to the good old BOOZE DAYS. It is time you get medical help NOW!
We are your virtual friends and cannot be there to take your sorry ass to the clinic. If I get banned from this forum ......so be it.....but I won't sit here and let you drink yourself to death.
Time for you to think about someone other than Kari. You have a lovely wife, Angie, who adores you and family and friends that would do anything for you.
Make the call and get back to the clinic and get help NOW! Tell them the real problem.
I am out of here with the hope and prayer's for you to do the right thing.

Two open heart surgery's, six strokes and four pacemakers since 1988.

Abusing ones self is one things.. to do it to those around us is another..
Today I bought a suit. Well actually I tell a lie, my grandmother bought me a suit. I couldn't quite bring myself to part with �300 for 3 items of clothing
Tomorrow.... is the big day for me...
Stay tuned for more info...
Stay tuned for more info...
Thanks for the congratulations boys, hubby not right yet in fact he's in bed now coughing his heart up. The problem is that there's not a lot that can be done because of the medications he's on he can only take paracetamol to try and help.
On another note I have to agree with Dennis and Mike and their attitude to Kari, we all care about him but he's not doing himself any favours going on the way he is and he's in danger of losing Angie if he doesn't get his act together.

I used to have a suit.....I called it my "marrying and burying" suit because those were the only occasions I would wear it.

Im not wearing it until Tuesday, so my Nan is keeping it at her house until then as I am staying there Monday night anyway. I am working at the community centre to-day and still have no computer, but it could be waiting for me at my house, just I have to see when I get back home.
BTW, when I got my new phone recently the software that came with it is supplied on a small CDROM disc, so will it work in my external CD/DVDRW drive?

Good News:
Yesterday when I got back home there was my tower waitng for me. On the invoice it said Motherboard and Other. It was away for 2 weeks, so it wasn't that bad and it is working OK.
Bad news:
I went to Hastings to-day to see my Jobsearch Advisor and the office was closed and locked. It might the Christmas Dinner or something, but it would been nicer to have him to ring me, as I wasn't really planning to go to Hastings this morning.
Other news:
I am going to try the small disc that came with my newish phone on the PC this evening and see if I can get online, like I did with the other one. So I might be on the forums tonight.

Today, I got a cheap laptop to carry around, and it has Win 7 on it, so I officially have a reason to be on these forums,lol.

Who am I to be choosie?
Just be careful where you buy it from. Check their return policy as some have a
15% return to stock policy.
Tonight started to rain snow.
Dennis .. Yes your right about the returns.. I try to never get in that situation.
I thought the above item would serve me a lot better than my cell phone , I so rarely use .
I can get service for the Tablet at the same cost to me as my cell phone plan.
The Tablet .. has a browser.. e-mail ..tons of applications.. and more.. books , movies..
photos on an on. the android thing on it also.. ( I may have spelled that incorrectly.)
I can purchase a cell phone card for what I need.. on a Trac phone from Wal-Mart or another brand.

If the answer is yes then go for and treat yourself to a nice gift!
There is such a variety in size and price the choice is yours.
So buy it, wrap it for Christmas, and on the card put
"To LPt from The sweetest lady in Arkansas!"
Dennis, it's past your bedtime!

I have a TracFone that I bought at Target, and if you don't make very many calls or texts, it is very cheap. I've spent less than $200 for my phone service from November 2009 until now. The tablets, on the other hand, I don't know very much about, so I can't really say if it would be good for you or not.
OOps sorry that was the wrong link.. I'm interested in the Tablet..from Samsung.
M'Lady, what happened to your avatar and sig? Your posts look so bare

Today I'm really nervous ....
LPT. I read some reviews on the Samsung tablet (sorry haven't got a link) and they suggested that it was overpriced in comparison to others including the iPad.

Climate is and always has been dynamic. It has never been static. During Roman times, England had vineyards.
