What are we talking about anyway? Do you know? LOL

That's why I only answered with "hmmmmm". I don't remember either. LOL

Good! Like daisy suggested - maybe when bootcamp is completed, a new 'graduation' photo and an update. You can send it to any of the three of us - Mama_Bear, daisyscarlett, or me, and we will post it as you write it, with his photo. (but you also have to send a photo of yourself!)

That sounds great to me. Thank you ohio for updating us on Eric, keep them coming. :-)

Lodwick, I haven't read the thread yet, but I hope you have been enjoying your much deserved day in the spotlight. :-)

Sorry it has taken me so long to get in here today. I haven't been ignoring my pings, I am having serious computer problems. I think I may have picked up a virus. Yes, like a dummy, I uninstalled Norton because I thought it was causing problems with opening files on my hard drive. Then I really messed things up by opening an e-mail attachment that I thought was safe. So anyway, I'm still up and running, well actually not running - more like limping along. I will have my computer guru take a look at my machine on Friday.

I shouldn't have any problem getting the thread posted tomorrow ... I hope!

I am going to go in and read the thread now and see what I missed. :-)

Oh no - not a sick puter.

Try Mashing Here for PC Pitstop, a free, diagnosing and repairing site. I think you'll like it.

My day has been tiring and wonderful, thanks for limping in. I really appreciate it. JL

LOL. Well, it took everything I had, but I got here. I hope everyone has a good virus protection program installed because this one seems to be really going around out there. I have recieved it twice this afternoon from different senders (But, I learn quickly - I didn't open the attachments this time. LOL). From what I understand, this is the "W32.klez.H@mm" virus.

Thanks for the virus info - I've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger today, so very precious little email has been opened - thank goodness.

"Blonde Cowgirl"

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons nor prior experience.She mounts the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle.

In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider.

Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup, she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over.

As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune, Bill, the Wal Mart greeter, sees her difficulty and unplugs the horse.

LOL!

I would only go to this much trouble over the songs for you, lod. I didn't realize when it said "free midi" that it meant "free 2 minute midi".

Loddy...congratulations on your very special day....in addition to all your other charms, you are a patient man, letting me spin my little stories, and ramble on and on...

You are a popular man, gracing many different threads here at FR, and just about everyone knows you...

My Jobs

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. Mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it.

Then I tried to be a chef--figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just didn't have the thyme.

Finally, I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patients.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in.

I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.

Thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.

I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I wasn't up to it.

So then I got a job in a gymnasium (work-out-center), but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking.

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

You got any ideas? I'm opened for suggestions .........maybe you have something that WORKS..........because I don't.

Goodness Mom, I am shocked to see ya here, but glad also.
Put up with your stories?

We're all blessed to have you tell them to us. Not all of us have these amazing true tales to tell, and if we did we'd probably screw up the delivery.

I'm so glad you found FR, and the threads that I like to read.

Cheers to you and BigDom and Dizzy. God bless. JL
