Happy Eve to everyone here. <br /><br />I agree with Jayce that there were lots of different abbreviations used that just seemed forced. But I did the puzzle online as my eyes were bothering me. I have better recall of words when holding a pen and have heard others mention this too. <br /><br />My friend, who is a Redskins fan was happily surprised by the outcome of today's game with Dallas. <br /><br />Welcome to J. Graham! Thanks to Al cyrone for the tip. Didn't know that one. <br /><br />Have a great last day of the year!downtonabbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313583795050203810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-36793138238399363642012-12-31T00:06:15.822-06:002012-12-31T00:06:15.822-06:00I was just listening to a bit of Mozart's Clar...I was just listening to a bit of Mozart's Clarinet Quintet on iTunes radio.

When I would come home for vacation from Cornell, I would get up Sunday mornings and go to church with them. My brother would sleep in. When I brought a girl home from college, we slept in different rooms. My brother would have gotten a motel room for him and his girl friend except there was a compromise and the two of them slept outside in my parent's Airstream trailer.<br /><br />As usual, I enjoyed Sunday Morning this morning.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-80782637243048300792012-12-30T20:59:04.895-06:002012-12-30T20:59:04.895-06:00Lucina @2:37, hate to pick the nit, but the conven...Lucina @2:37, hate to pick the nit, but the conventional translation of Las Vegas is The Meadows. <br /><br />Like others, my resolution is to get back into some kind of shape, other than round, that is.<br /><br />CED @ 5:19 – here’s a <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mae_West" rel="nofollow">link</a> to the Mae West quote you were looking for….<br />River Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217414780894792059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-49169422848446676682012-12-30T20:38:54.407-06:002012-12-30T20:38:54.407-06:00hello all,

Shot blue rock and varmints.<br /><br />What I object to is the timing and the independent creative kid who may possibly get into trouble with the things. I think paintball guns need adult supervision which my son will certainly give--if the kid doesn't take the gun to school for "show and tell" or invite all his buddies to ride their bikes a couple miles out to his house after school for the hour or so before his mother gets home.<br /><br />I didn't mind my mother, so I really don't expect him to do so either. He's really bright, but he's still a kid.PKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-86567183017477454872012-12-30T19:34:38.501-06:002012-12-30T19:34:38.501-06:00Chrome is google's operating system, like fire...Chrome is google's operating system, like firefox and internet explorer.Lemonade714https://www.blogger.com/profile/13642909374639570868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-72082563640348813762012-12-30T18:39:35.312-06:002012-12-30T18:39:35.312-06:00Yes, I thought DF when I filled in NoonerYes, I thought DF when I filled in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYev3njm7Q8" rel="nofollow"> Nooner</a>Manachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904472091922069440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-58476365650287364772012-12-30T18:19:55.352-06:002012-12-30T18:19:55.352-06:00CED, I can relate.

Thankfully, he reloaded Windows 7 before he sent it off. 8 had come out a couple of weeks before we made this deal, and he'd loaded it, but declared it unfit for consumption, so it was ash canned. Still, there's a huge learning curve in the transition from XP.<br /><br />I don't know if it applies to 8 , but they do have a couple of tools you should look into. One is windows transfer, the other is windows essentials. Transfer allows you to copy important archival info onto the new machine with relative ease, by stick or external drive. Essentials has a Pop email function that's very similar to outlook express....it has worked fine for me with no difference in functionality.<br /><br />The hardest thing I dealt with was transferring files to a specific sub-folder. The short answer is use cut and paste rather than "send to". At any rate, good luck, and if I can be of use, don't hesitate to email me privately.<br /><br />Also, I meant to comment on the answer "nooner" earlier. What a stunner to see in a CWP! What's next? "Morner"? (Like a nooner, only sooner).Avg Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301873113962640644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-12312690366663567682012-12-30T18:04:26.127-06:002012-12-30T18:04:26.127-06:00No snowing here in Kansas.

I wonder if holistic hospital hire massage therapist?? The RN wouldn't help my husband sit up after surgery.

She was upset when our local son bought an assault-style rifle for target practice. The only gun we have in the house is a big plastic thing that shoots a puff of air. It will shoot smoke rings too. It's fun for Jordan and me to play with.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-58155783334953380502012-12-30T17:34:52.741-06:002012-12-30T17:34:52.741-06:00Man oh man, I am SO glad I got Windows 7, not 8, o...Man oh man, I am SO glad I got Windows 7, not 8, on the Dell PC my wife got me for Christmas.
