So how is the car Stella.
Robert's friend was involved in a accident on Tuesday morning on her way to work. S
he is fine, apart from sore necks, arms, etc. The car is a write off!.
Cars in front of her stopped suddenly, she stopped, and the Semi Trailer behind, was slow to realise that traffic had come to a standstill.
he jammed his brakes on and hit her car in back.

That's what I need to do, get into a regular exercise routine. I definitely need to get back into shape!

Mary, sleep with a heating pad under your shoulder. This may help. (not too hot, second lowest setting is what I use)

Thanx Stella

Oh no Rolanda, I know what that is like. At least she was not seriously injured with a semi hitting her. That could have been nasty!
We picked up the car this morning and so far so good. Just one little touch up on the door.

Ouch Rolanda, a semi is a big thing to hit a car....give her nightmares

Hubby sent D#1 a picture of the car to show her that it looked perfect like before. It should ease her mind now that we have it back good as new!

D#2 is trying to set up an Instant Message account for me so that I can talk with her at school. Right now AIM is not processing things so she has to wait.

ooh Stella, that might mean you could also talk to me, Gail, MizT, Mamacita. as well !!

Rob's friend is driving a Hire Car at present...

She keeps getting "service unavailable" for trying to set up a screen name. She said that sometimes it takes days!

good thing the 18yr old is off to work shortly !!

Here is a question that I don't understand why it is in the calendar. I must be missing something because I only see the right answer as the obvious answer.

If a bottle with a deposit costs $1.10, and the bottle costs a dollar more that the deposit, how much is the bottle worth?

$1 is the obvious answer. but as you are paying $1.10 for it, I guess it is worth $1.10

.. Cyndi .. ..

Maybe it is because we have deposit bottles here and the deposit is always $.05, so I automatically thought the bottle was worth $1.05, which would make it $1 more than the deposit and which is the correct answer. I couldn't see any other way to look at the question. In parenthesis it says that "no, it is not worth $1.10."

Cyndi! You get to celebrate it twice! I hope you have a great day!

The bottle is worth ten cents. The contents were worth a dollar.

Cyndi!

Hello, Rolanda and Stella!

Glad your car is fixed, Stella. I know it felt like forever to you, but I think that was fast. Is Brendan still reporting on his leg or is that a thing of the past?

Hello Ruby, sorry am off to Curves now. see you all later

Actually, the bottle is probably worth more than ten cents. That's just what they charge to get you to return it. The contents' component parts were probably inexpensive, but, with shipping and advertising included, you have profit margins for the manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler and retailer.

I'll come back later.

Good one Ruby! I didn't talk to Brendan today because he had orientation. He has orientation again tomorrow but I will call him anyway.

Hi Stella. Glad your car is fixed. One less headache for you.

A bad storm went through this evening and the news said people to the south(20 miles) of us are without power. We had rain and thunder/lightning, but I don't think there were any high winds like they had. Our next door neighbors started putting a new roof on today!

Bummer for your neighbors. We didn't get any rain today, just cloudy and a little cooler.

Becky, Stells? STill there?

Hi Ruby. Just going back and forth between here and MSN.

WE had a really big storm and a lot of lightening. It hit VERY close twice. After about an hour of storm like that, continious lightening nd thunder, it stopped as suddenly as it started. I found out what it hit! Our DSL lines for the network on the computer! Came in, got my somekind of card, one for the network, and it also got the wire somewhere between mine and Al's at other end of the house. Of course it is dark and he cannot see, but he got my computer back up and online , that is one out of three. Also got into a computer he was building. and YES, we do have surge protectors on all 3 machines!

HI BECKY

Hi MizT. Sorry about that. Was a little confused.

no problem, I looked at the times and figured you had to be talking to me heheh

Just a long day. Are your computers hooked up through a router?

luckily hubby keeps extra of whatever card that is, and it is not expensive, or i would still be here with no computer. Bad enough to be without computers ( I had turned the house ones off) and TV, ( rain fade on the signal) and AC for that hour +. If i was out of a couputer over night, well, You know you are a sudokuaholic when . . . You work puzzles on paper by candle light when the computer is down.

Yes, we have the box they come in, and then a router and then a hub I think he said.

it comes in at my computer, and rattled the brains of my box. It had to be rebooted.

Then he replaced the MIC card or something like that, network card, on my puter and mine came back online.

It must have been a heck of a hit. The router and modem should have given you protection. As for the power, tell hubby to get a battery back-up.
