The New Hobbit Hole

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Hmm, quiet tonight... are the Hobbits watching the basketball game, or the news...?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I like the cold days, the winter storms.

Snowstorms were always my favorite... hoping they would last long enough to cancel school the next day... :)

[Corin Stormhands]

I think winter is best enjoyed in a ski lodge (NOT on the ski slopes or trails).

Yes, behind a plate glass window, most definitely.

[Corin Stormhands]

Just got back in and catching up on other fronts. Don't plan to be around long tonite...

[Overtaxed]

This hobbit has been working on something totally unrelated to snow!

2JM, I've finally recorded some of the stuff that I've been torturing the cat with for the past three weeks or so.

Well it looks like after George Tenet told Arafat today that his proposals were totally unacceptable and that we wouldn't protect him if there were more bombings, and then there was the bus bombing later today, it looks like Israel is finally taking out the slimy Orc. Press conference at dawn Israel time, about 9 pm PDT.

Overtaxed, do you know how to log off of FR. I've been logged on since day one, which I suppose is fine, but still...

[Corin Stormhands]

Go to the main page www.freerepublic.com

Left hand column about halfway down.

Hi Corin, when I try that, nothing changes. What does it mean by "clear your login cookie?"

[Corin Stormhands]

What does it mean by "clear your login cookie?"

You have to clear your cache. I can do it, not sure I can walk you through it. Maybe someone else can.

What does it mean by "clear your login cookie?"

What browser are you using?

[Sam Cree]

Explorer 6

OK, going by memory here, so please forgive me if the instructions aren't exact...

Look for the Tools menu; on that menu, look for Options; that should bring up a page which includes options for deleting files, cookies, etc.

I'm pretty sure, anyway.

Be careful, because it may delete *all* of your cookies, not just the one for FR.

[Sam Cree]

You're right, there's a delete cookies there. Also one in the windows file. I wonder if that means that you have to delete the "login cookie" to actually log off. I'll try it anyway and see. Won't be too much of a tragedy if I delete them all, they come back, I think, when the site is revisited.

Thanks much, guys, for the help.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Yup, pretty much... AFAIK, cookies are more for convenience in accessing frequently visited websites, not for anything truly system-critical.

Thanks much, guys, for the help.

You're welcome!

I can't listen to it! The new computer is in the guest room, right next to the bedrooms and everyone is asleep! The old computer is in the jedis room for Matthew to play games on, so I can't go in there!

I'll listen first thing in the morning.

BTW, I bought a new handbag, my other was too small to carry my whistle in!

The north country is very beautiful in all seasons...

I know what you mean. I will particularly miss the fall colors when I head back the sunny climes of the southwestern desert. I love snow, but don't love commuting in it. Maybe when I am independently wealthy and can really enjoy it on my own terms, I'll be back.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures of the Lake Superior Shore up toward the Arrowhead:

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Those pictures are very pretty! They make me feel homesick.

I've already posted my "nightlight" further up (#7553) so I'll just say Good Night, everyone!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Well it is beautiful country up there, that is for sure. I will still take Florida or Arizona for walking around in winter though!

That was a beautiful picture, but don't you think that 2:34 in the afternoon, PDT is a little early for a nightlight? (Just looking for another pretty picture).
