...me thinks you should start a coupon thread..*hint hint*

I have an LCD flat screen computer monitor. I turned it on a little while ago and most of what I see is wobbling slightly. However, I do notice the extreme right side of the screen seems to be steady (insert political joke here).
I restarted my computer but the problem remains the same. The brightness of the screen remains the same as before so I don't think this is because the screen is somehow fading.
Anybody know how I can fix this.
..coupon clipper?
Be funny if the Fry guy gives me a free computer just to find out what Lala told me. After Lala told me, I offered to call his mother in South India to consult with her about Lala. Like I said, I can't even write it up in my Canada Free Press humor column because it could be misinterpreted sans the personal nuances I give to the story directly.
BTW, I know of a real life Gollum and might wrote about him. It is about someone I know who lives on the edge of society and has a similar look and mannerisms (including a bizarre voice) of the Gollum of the silver screen. I once asked the Gollum when the last time was he ate a normal meal from a plate consisting of meat and vegetables and incorporating dinner utensils.---He couldn't remember since his diet consists mostly of donuts hastily eaten out of paper plus 5 packs of cigarettes per day.
One really interesting thing about the Gollum is that he has fantastic handwriting completely contrary to his character. He also told me he had a series of notebook writings he never showed anyone but he might show them to me. This could be interesting.
Yup! Plus sale watcher. Match the sales with the coupons and you can save over 50%. Tomorrow I might save 100% as in FREE. The other night the bill came to around $37 and I paid only $7.50.
Could it be bourbon thats causing the wobbling, use to happen to me when I was younger..
say what?
You can't throw something like that out there from left field. That sounds like a thread or two all by itself.
Gollum!?
If you ever write about it, PING me for sure.
Although I doubt Fry's, while cheap, would give away a computer for anything less than the secret of free energy.
BTW, I might be traveling to Puerto Rico in November dirt cheap. My wife and I plan to fly there, visit Culebra and PR both, and spend under $500 total including airfare and acomodations. I will write it up as a travel story. Theme of how to travel CHEAP in these recessionary times.

As to the real life Gollum, he exists. A lot of people in Margate know him. I told him he could go on Oprah as a real life Gollum. Problem is, he is so messed up that he probably could never fly to Chicago to tape the show. He would get kicked off the plane first. His sanitary habits are just not that great. He used to live in his condo (before he got foreclosed) but even then he slept on a filthy mattress tossed on an even filthier floor. He rented the two bedrooms out to tenants who were constantly cursing him so he had no privacy.
It also didn't help that his place was sweltering in 90 plus degrees highly humid heat due to his electricity constantly being shut off. Now he lives in two homes: his car and his storage bin.
That's the Gollum.
Okay. But throwing out a Gollum bomb like that can seriously cause some people medical problems. =o)
It would like writing “It wasn’t like that back on gfgdtergdhdg before I came to Earth” about a totally innocuous topic like gardening or something
It seems to be vibrating less than before. Let me see what it is like tomorrow.
1. Randy Gollum lives on the edge of society.
2. Hunched over like LOTR Gollum.
3. Bizarre mannerisms. Arms flail in all directions when talking/growling.
4. Talks in a strange disjointed growl. Almost impossible to understand over the phone.
5. Horrible food habits. Mostly eats donuts and whatever he can scrounge from the droppings on the floor of his beat up car.
6. Lives like an animal. Sleeps either in his beat up car or his storage bin.
7. Cut off from society. Knows (barely) who the president is but does not know who vice-president or anything at all about government nor does he care.
8. Whatever money he gets, he quickly gives away to drug-addicted women. (Sort of a misplaced heart of gold).
9. Horrible sanitary habits. His version of bathing is to stick his hand under a faucet and rub his Gollum shaped face and hair.
10. Has no clear thoughts. If wants to make a simple statement, he always veers off subject and won't stop talking until yelled at.
These are only a few of the things that makes Randy the Gollum a Gollum.
Sounds like a plan.
I think Dallas has a few gollums =o)
So is ol' PJ exaggerating about Randy the Gollum? Well, one day I invited Randy over here just so he could see how normal (or almost normal) people live. The moment he stepped into my home, my wife threw him out before he said a word.
Then late that night, my wife screamed out in her sleep in her Venezuelan accent: "I WANT A DIVORCE!"
That scared me so I woke her up. She told me that if Randy Gollum ever showed up here again she would divorce me.
And that gives you just a hint how much the Gollum repels people. It also frightened me in that I think I built up an immunity to his repulsiveness.
>>> I tightened the cable on the monitor. No change. Should I do the same on the connection to the computer?
If it is a loose connection, slightly wiggling the connection to either the monitor or the computer (whichever one is loose) will cause the screen wiggles/waves to change.
This is what would verify that it is the connection.
If wiggling the connections has no effect (bad or good), the problem is somewhere else... Tightening the connections would not necessarily fix things, even though it might be the problem. (i.e. bad pin)
Wiggling seems to have decreased...or am I just getting used to it?
If you are sure it’s the monitor you could buy a new monitor now and a computer later. There’s no rule you have to buy both at the same time.
