How odd, because WMP is the only one on my computer and it was fine. However, I think Realplayer will do fine. Sometimes
computers just have a mind of their own! Sheesh!

Every once in a while, PBS re-airs a "California's Gold" episode that features a tour of the Reagan Ranch. It is one of the best TV programs I have ever seen; you learn so much about the man that way, how the ranch was his escape valve and more. He built fences with his own hands and always had projects going there. I think the program is available as a DVD. Has anyone here seen it?

Reagan Ranch~~California's Gold

Ronald Reagan...One of our favorite cowboys!!!

This being the other one! :D

I don’t know what is wrong.

I cannot get email on this computer that is less than a year old. Every time I try to set up an email account on it, my computer freezes and I have to shut it down by powering off. I don’t think that is good for it. : )

I get my email on Marissa’s computer. I think some of my problems are with the software that came packaged with the Vista.

[JustAmy]

Did you see OESY’s “My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys” links above?

I know you will enjoy both videos.

[luvie]

Oh! Bless your heart...you have ~~shudder~~ VISTA!!

I have a friend who simply could NOT use the WMP with his
computer that has Vista. Finally had to install iTunes and
set it to mimic WMP.

Crazy that a system doesn’t even recognize one (or more) of
it’s own programs. I dread the day I have to change to this
system. I hope they fix it by then!

[luvie]

Yes, I did, but am just now getting around to comments. LOL!

Had to leave to go to bible class.

They were great!

I went into Netflix and did a search for it, they don't have it. I was sure they would, they have almost everything, but I couldn't find it.

I would love to see it. If you ever see that it is going to be on, please let me know. I'd sure appreciate it.

[Mama_Bear]

I have Vista Business on my new laptop. I haven't had a bit of problem with it. My son says I am probably the only person on the entire planet who actually loves the Vista operating system. LOL.

When I told my son that I love my new laptop that he and my husband gave me for Christmas and I love Vista, he said, "Mom, this has got to be a 'first', I've never heard anyone say that." ;-)

Ahhh. I was just coming here to ask Amy how you are doing, Jim. I’m guessing that you are doing okay if you are itching to get back on the “corner”. You are still showing up in my prayers. God be with you and bless you in a mighty way.

[La Enchiladita]

w00t!!!

[luvie]

You are the first person I’ve heard who liked it, too.

Everyone else I talk to curses the day they were forced
into accepting it on a new computer.

I am glad it’s working for you!

[luvie]

*grins*

Thought you might appreciate that one!

[La Enchiladita]

You knocked it out of the park with that post, OESY, thank you!!

I saved both vids to my Utube favorites also.

[La Enchiladita]

USA!! USA!!! USA!!!!

[WVNan]

Hey you. You wouldn't believe the two days we have had over here. There has been a loooonngggg line of thumder boomers lined up across the middle of the country and every one of them came across WV. That is a first for us. We don't usually get but one or two storms per spring. But finally, we may get some warm weather. Hubby is not pleased about that, but I am so ready for WARM. We leave early in the morning for Annual Conference. I hate those things. Don't tell my Dist. Superintendent. Anyway, I have been soooo busy. I hate not being able to say hello to my FRiends.

Time is fleeting and it won't be long. Counting the weeks now.

[Mama_Bear]

Hey, Nan......believe it or not, I was just answering your e-mail. I was just about to hit "send" when I heard a ping come in and .......... lo and behold, it was YOU!!!

Hope you and Mr. WVN have a great time at the Conference. Safe traveling! :-)

Now I will go send that mail. ;-)

[La Enchiladita]

I googled a little bit and it doesn’t show as airing in my area within the next two weeks. If you use this link, you should get results for your area. http://www.locatetv.com/tv/californias-gold/1031990 Aside from that, if I see or hear anything, will let you know!!

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, dita! :-)

[Mama_Bear]

I hate those things. Don't tell my Dist. Superintendent.

Oops! I just told you to have to have a great time. LOL

Well, try to have at least a "good" time. ;-)

Where is it that you have to go?
