I just re-joined FR and I would like to post to my local NC state board but I am not able to. How do I get the ability to do that?

Best weather of the year here. Sunny, high to be 83. I will pay for it though, in a couple months.

I love the heat, and will be glad when I can pack away my winter clothes.

It’s only going to be 73 today, and the clouds will last until tomorrow morning.

Is it weird if dreams have commercials?

Only if waking life doesn't have commercials.

When I worked at Compaq and helped reviewing those quick start guides the Marketing people would constantly remind us, “This is for someone who plans to operate a computer but can’t figure out how to change the flashing 12:00 in their VCR.”

We actually developed an old Keyboard and Mouse input pair where it didn’t matter which one went into which one (that’s before USB for you kids). But we had to color code them anyway because when we put in the instructions, “It doesn’t matter which one you plug into which socket,” it generated thousands of calls to the help desk.

Not the tagline.

I will only call ONE redhead Ginger, and that’s Tina Louise. Those euro-types can take their name for the hair color back across the pond AFAIC.

(I liked Mary Ann better, but that’s kind of like choosing between fudge and chocolate sauce IMHO.)

” “This is for someone who plans to operate a computer but can’t figure out how to change the flashing 12:00 in their VCR.””

6 months for me, but to be fair, I was working rough hours : )

I can understand that as you have so many distractions to deal with all day. When I do it, it scares me.

I went to set my watch aside (for a pin in the band) along with my Fitbit pedometer (needs a battery) so they would both be ready for my trip and the crystal is shattered in my watch. I paid a lot of money for it because it is stainless steel, and the worst that has happened has been losing pins in the band.

I’m just sick about it. I will take it to check the price of a crystal, but I would sure hate to not be able to use it. I can’t wear most watches because of the nickel content in the bands, so they need to be at least 14K gold or stainless steel. :o[

My new aide didn’t show up today, and I just got a call from the agency saying she had the schedule messed up. Of course, they tried to reschedule her for Friday, and then for Wednesday afternoon, so I told the gal, “Never on Fridays, and never on afternoons.” I wish they would put that in my file in large Day-Glo letters...

The rice and chicken breast were pretty good today, and I will have some for lunch tomorrow again...

I have been so listless and distracted, lately. The pills have arrived at the USPS, so they will be delivered tomorrow. I need them...

*sigh*

Went to the gym with a batch of kids. I don’t like going in the afternoon - everything is much more difficult than in the morning. Then Bill and I took the Purple Car to the mechanic. It has several irritating symptoms.

Bummer about the watch!

Music video one of the guys on the NC Forum posted ... “local” where he is, which I think is up northeast near the Virginia line.

I have been lifting weights in my spare time. LOL!

A neighbor gave me a couple of 2# weights, so I have been playing with them every other day or so. When I get the battery replaced in my Fitbit, I will begin to walk again so I can keep track of my daily steps/distance. I was amazed at much I actually walked, just “staying home.”

It seems most of the important walking has been done at Walmart because I want to get in and get out...at the hours I go (EARLY) there are no Walmartians to impede my cart-pushing!

... can’t figure out how to change the flashing 12:00 in their VCR. --

"6 months for me, but to be fair, I was working rough hours"

Perfectly understandable. It took six months for DST to give you a reason to set it.

I never did figure out how or why people could strap a VCR to their forehead. But supposedly they were all the rage at one time.

WHAT? The first VHS recorders were heavy and you had to carry them on your shoulders...if you had broad shoulders. Then the VHS came out with a mini-tape that had to be put into a standard VHS case in order to watch it.

Yah...I remember those days... ;o]

Bacon-flavored medicine... It is about time

Well, they tried everything else:
Lemon ,Honey,Orange,etc.
Bacon is the obvious solution to all of life's problems.
:D

It was a lame pun that I haven’t been able to use for years.

“Four-head VCR”

Forehead VCR.

I couldn’t figure out how it would work.
