LOL Of course, we're absolutely out of our minds!! :) We didn't go to the mall which I was very happy about. We just ended up going to Hastings and bought books and movies. After dinner we tried going to Circuit City but the store was in a very small building that was cramped and clausterphobic. Barnes & Noble was next door so we went there for a few minutes and then came home. It was nice to get away from the house and move around for a while cause I feel like I've spent so much time just sitting around doing nothing.

We don't ever buy a lot, most of the people in our family are adults now so we don't have to buy expensive things. All of us have come to love gift cards/certificates because then the person can pick out what they really want. One of my favorite places to get them is Half Price Books because most of their stuff is dirt cheap so you can get a bunch! :)

Please come visit, we'll find a place to hang you. Er, I mean put you up. Heheheh

No chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness. —Hebrews 12:11

Christ can transform painful trials into glorious triumphs.

To all.......

I'm sending out a computer SOS here to anyone who knows computers better than I do............that would be everyone........

I am getting a giant yellow pop-up on our computer, and an advertisement to stop Spam popping up, that opens up our CD.

I'm wary of doing anything, because there is some pornographic material involved, and I don't want to open anything nasty.

I'd like some help in getting rid of spam in my e-mail, but this is scary!

When I click on the properties of the yellow screen, it says something about object pass this on. com......

Any help I can get from anyone would be appreciated!

[MEG33]

Go over to chat or do a search for computer problems.I've seen some great help given.I am DUMBER than you!

[MEG33]

I typed in Computer pop up won't go away and found some old posts.You might be able to find something.

Kevin was telling us about a delicacy from Georgia - fried ribs.
I've never heard of frying ribs before. Got a receipt for them?

Hey (((((dixie sass)))))))

Was out all day (ugh!) and this is the first chance I've had to respond.

Truthfully, I have not heard of fried ribs, but I am not a GA native (have only resided here 5 years - from FL), nor do I eat much (if any at all) meat. Sorry!

Pinging my GA FRiends to see if any of them can help out!

Just returned from sunny Keys to cold and snow...ugh....Stayed basically news and FR impaired except for a daily couple minute "check in" and have spent the first 1/2 hour at home reading about our wonderful president's Thanksgiving surprise on the various threads...I just posted below what I wrote on one of those about my experience today with many young men and women returning home today for a 15 day furlough. What special folks....

Flew into Dayton via Atlanta a while ago. Many young soldiers are coming home for a 15 day furlough. Actually three on our plane...(many more in Atlanta making other connections and were spending time on the payphones talking to friends and loved ones....I wanted to do something like maybe lend someone my cellphone but didn't want to interrupt them) They looked so young, sweet and excited. Those on our plane were greeted in Dayton with a big ovation...it was apparantly arranged that immediate family could meet them as they debarked the plane rather than waiting to get past the security thing....There were tears everywhere and lots of kudos for these fine folks... The poor families...they just wanted to hug their "babies" but strangers kept coming up to shake their hands...I'm so glad to have experienced this today....it makes me proud to be an American...

P.S. Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend.

Hey dansy...here at the same time?????...Boy...I will tell you it was cold down your way today....YIKES....Spent an hour in your airport...although I froze my "....ss" off...it was worth it to watch the fine military folks.....

[MEG33]

I have dreamed of para sailing.Last time I was where I could try it,the concessions were closed because of high winds.I'm glad you got to do it!

[dansangel]

What a beautiful post, ((((((((dutchess)))))))).

So glad you were able to witness firsthand some genuine appreciation for our troops. We are so fortunate and so blessed to have them protecting us on a daily basis. I'm glad people were willing to show their gratitude.

So glad you are back safe and sound. I'll be down in sunny FL in exactly three weeks - I can't wait!

Oh Meg...it was AWESOME! (parasailing). Did it several years ago "solo" and was scared the whole time. This time the plan was to go "tandem" with my "bestest girlfriend" who was with us but she "chickened out" so Mr. D. (who loves it anyway) went up with me. Just having another body made you not shift as much plus someone to share the experience with. Would highly recommend it!

[dutchess]

Dansy....great to hear from you "LIVE". I bet you're excited to get down to Florida. We had so much fun exploring some of the other "off the beaten path keys". Down to earth people....incredible views and ocean breezes...saw snow as we landed and am looking at it now out our window...BUMMER! Give a hug to your kitties and .45man. (Giz and FredtheCat are like all over me...time to give them much needed lovings.... back later!)

Close all the windows for Internet Explorer that are open. Double-click My Computer, double-click the C drive, double-click Windows, double-click Temporary Internet Files. Click on the Edit Menu and click on Select All. Then press the delete key. It may take a few minutes to delete everything there if you have a lot.

You can also download "Spybot - Search and Destroy" and install it. It is very good at finding and deleting spybots and spam. Go here to read about it and download it.
