Poor pooter..... maybe it needs last rites.

Hi Heidi: That could be possible. My husband has had to do that too!! Most of his clients, however, he's able to repair their pooters...If he can't, they let him have them for parts. He also sells refurbished ones. This was a hobby for a few months, until he realized he could make $$ doing it...

He is making more $$ than I am right now!!

Heidi: i see you have the song "breakthru" from Queen on your page...I am a HUGE Queen fan!! I have been a fan since they started!!! How about you???

Hi Suzanne and Heidi, no puter is still doing the same thing as before either giving me a system boot fail or getting to window then freezing after a while. Back to the hospital or will be a boat anchor.

Pooter death by drowning??? That's a first!! I'll have to tell my hubby that one (if you find an anchor!!)

Hehe! Suzanne, I have the boat to do it too snigger!

TOO funny!!!! Let me know, k??? Other than the puter issue, are you having a good day???

I grew up in an apartment and there was no clothes line. We always used the spinny thing. When my parents bought a house, they did not put in a clothes line. I can't picture my mom hanging clothes on a line. She did have a rack in the corner that she would hang delicate stuff on. My grandmother used to hang clothes on a clothesline.

Hey there troublemaker!! How are you & the family tonite?

Hubby working OT tonight. Watching Lakers/Jazz game.

How did the day go with the beastie boys at your work?? Did they enjoy it?

Good morning lovely SA8 people.
Well, the little family arrived back from Ethiopia in the early hours of the morning. Baby Daniel is sooooooo gorgeous and happy. He came happily to me whilst we were still in the airport. I am looking forward to getting to know him better and have had to ring both families of grandies today to tell them. They can't wait to meet their new (sort-of) cousin. Our friends have waited a long time and suffered many years of bureaucratic (sp) red-tape and delays for this moment. When/if they give me the okay, I will post a pic of him.

That is so cool Cyn!!! Congrats on the new addition!! How exciting for your family!!! That is a special gift to adopt a child. When my mom & (step)dad (He's my dad no matter biology) got married, he wanted to adopt me and my sperm donor (sorry that's how I think of him) fought it for my whole life. So, at 18, I legally changed my last name to my dad's. I am very proud & happy with our relationship.

I cannot imagine not having a clothes-line. I do have a tumble-dryer as well but here in Qld, in our climate, most people use the line. Even in the wettest of weather, I could not imagine tumble-drying bath-towels. They need the sun and breeze through them.
Ok, off my (thanks Heidi for the smiley)
Oh BTW, I have owned the odd dog whose prime aim in life was to destroy the washing on the line. I just learned techniques to avoid that.

Cyn: so maybe my fears about the clothesline are not unfounded considering my dog is NUTS??? But I wouln't trade her for anything!!!

That's lovely too Suzanne. My hubby's brother has a (step) son like that. Hubby's Bro has been his Dad since he was 18 months old and the boy is now 16 and has desperately wanted to be adopted by his Stepdad for years but his real father, who has NIL contact by choice won't allow it.

Cyn: I first met my real father Frank when I was 14, the first time I spoke to him I asked my dad Harry, if he was ok with me meeting him...I met him & realized I wasn't really missing anything in that part of my life. Harry has ALWAYS treated me as if I was his own. We had issues when I was 15, 16 ish and got thru all that I would NEVER trade Harry for anything. He & my mom will be married 45 years this June.

Good Evening, Friendly People! I just have a few minutes to say Hi, but hope to be back later.

Hi Julie: How are you?

As Pink Floyd would sing "Is there anybody out there???"

Suzanne, my hubby does computer repairs and builds machines, mostly desk tops. That is why we each have a machine plus a spare or two.

Just dropping in to catch up on my reading fore bed time. suzanne, I knew there was a very good reason I live in Alabama instead of Utah. Snow in May? Not for me. I do get a bit tired of the 90/90 weather of July and August, but we have nice days the rest of the year, including some nice sunny warm days in winter. Snow is a rareity and never lasts long. I do not like cold and snow and ice.

Only us mices Suzanne!

Hey Suzanne, I loved Queen too.

Hi everybody

Is this broken or something!

Hi SA8.

Ive been away for too long...life has got in the way...Im hoping everything has been going well. I wont be able to catch up on pages missed cause theres just so many..anyone happy to offer me a quick catch up? And does anyone have a mobile number for Keith? Im supposed to be meeting him in Cairns this week.

Evening all!
Just dropping in to say hi.
Hi Susan - missed you!
Hi Viv - how's tricks?
Hi Gail - must be!
Hi Broni - sounds like what mine is doing! If you find out what the problem is....

I remembered something that I thought you might find funny.

When we had the new water system put in we used a door that we don't often use. In fact it's probably at least 2 years since anyone has been through it. It wasn't locked!!!!!! So we go around locking the doors at night, and have had a door unlocked for at least 2 years. Hmmmmmmmm

Suzi, is the unused door locked now?
Hi Susan, welcome back. Just start from now and if someone mentions something unfamiliar to you, just ask, we will fill you in.
Hi Gail, it must be broken, only 7 posts greeting me this morning.
Susan, Suzanne, and Suzy, I imagine we gonna get confused.
Suzanne, did you sign up for the supporting membership? so you can make the smilies and avatars?

Hi All!! MizTricia: Tami signed me up for the free memebership, so I don't know if there is a way to get more smilies/avatars. Just poured my first cup of coffee so I may not be spelling correctly yet...sorry if there are any typos.

Is there a way to switch to supporting membership?

Everyone. I got to sleep in this morning. Finally. But could use even more sleep.

Very quiet night on site. Did the site break again?

Suzanne, to find out about supporting membership, go to this page

http://sudoku.com.au/MemberList.aspx

Look on the right, you see free membership and supporting membership. It tells what you get with each and how to pay for supporting membership. You cannot send a check, that is for Aussies or someone with Aussie dollars. You need pay pal since they cannot accept US dollars.

Thanks MizTricia: I'll check it out! How are you this morning?? I've had my coffee & done some housecleaning. Just relaxing watching the telly until the washy thingy is done with the bathroom rugs.

Suzanne, I have done the sloshy thing this morning also and hung out that load. line is full, will wait till tomorrow for second load. I have a very short clothes line, on my back porch, so I must put our wearing clothes on coat hangers and hand those on the line. But they get dry, all that matters. AND once they are ery, straight to the closet, so actually I handle them less this way.

Good Afternoon all. Hubby had a dead car battery this morning. Jump started his car, went to the mechanic and found out the battery is still under warranty so it did not cost us anything. The battery was purchased in April 2007. Next week they would have started pro-rating it. Came in just under the wire. That is what I call luck.

Have to go to the store in a minute. Need new sponges to wash the cars. Mitchell is going to learn how to do a good job because he is going to start washing the cars of a few neighbors. He wants to earn money and that is one of the only ways for a 12 year old.

Since there are only 2 more posts for the next TOPP, I am going to post and run. 150 pages and still no TOPPs.

I will take post 6000.
