While Drew & I made it to NEST, we didn't get to spend much time or see too many folks. We've been in the midst of a nightmare situation with my brother who is dying and is refusing all efforts to at least get him somewhere to be safe for the time he has left. (He's now sick, confused and...

Sending many blessings to all of our "family" here on the forum! Have a wonderful and joyous feast, everyone!

I was in the process of sharing some e-books with someone, when I noticed a link at the top of my gmail. It was an ad for a program/site called dropbox. In it, you can save files to simply back them up or to share. It's pretty cool. So, I thought I'd share and invite others to check it out...

I keep getting asked...even though I'm hardly here these days. So, I thought I'd post here and give Lee a chance to answer everyone's burning question. When is registration going to open? We're all chomping at the bit! lol Can't wait to see everyone!

It looks as if Drew & I will finally make it up there this year! He'll be working on Saturday. But, he's off on Friday and (we hope) on Sunday. Just trying to figure out who we'll get to see when. We were thinking of pushing for Sunday. But, we'd likely have to leave during the game...which we...

Hey all! Haven't been around much of late. Still getting settled in...and dealing with a constant flareup of my lupus as a result of pushing too much. The past few days, I've been playing around online more...mostly grabbing goodies for my new kindle. I figured it was time to pop in and say...

to upstate NY. Well, tomorrow is our big move. I need to do a little yard work and run a couple of errands today. Just have a few last minute things to package up and put in the car/truck in the morning...our food, electronics, 2 sedated kitties, etc. A quick touch-up on the bathrooms and...

For those who may have wondered why Drew & I haven't been around much (and didn't see the answer in my sig), we're getting set to relocate. After over 30 years in the same job for Drew and my dad's health failing, we needed to make a change. So, we finished getting a few things done on our house...

This is a bit late in coming. But, I've been busy with our own preps. Though this is only a cat 1 or 2 storm for most of us, the size and track of the circulation, topography of the areas being hit and duration of it will be problematic. Just thought I'd share some tips that might be useful...

This morning, at 11:26 EST, will be the final ever launch of the space shuttle...provided storms in the area don't get too close. You can watch it live online on NASA TV. If you happen to have a Roku player, the NASA TV channel is available for free on there. So, you can watch it on your...

(I've posted this in the tech section but thought I'd cross post it here in case someone who doesn't check that section might know something.) OK, so here's the deal. I have a laptop with VGA cable output and a TV with HDMI cable input. I've been searching for a cable and/or adapter so that I...

OK, so here's the deal. I have a laptop with VGA cable output and a TV with HDMI cable input. I've been searching for a cable and/or adapter so that I can use my TV as an alternate monitor for playing videos, etc. Anyone know if such a thing exists that actually works? I've seen things...

I thought I should probably give folks an update on what's going on. Life has continued to throw us a variety of curves that are getting in the way of site work. So, I'm now officially taking a leave of absence from site and group work until further notice. I've considered just closing things...

OK, so the title may be a bit corny. But, the boys were so cute wrestling around this afternoon that I just HAD to share! I'm hoping to capture some of their mid-air acrobatics to add to this thread soon as well. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

I guess we need a thread for those regulars who are unable to make it this year. We just want to let folks know we'll miss them and wish them a good time. I'm glad things were shifted to a new thread so we don't distract folks from the main purpose of the info. thread. Unfortunately, Drew &...

As some already know, we lost our baby, Willow the other day. He'd been having health issues for some time. So, it came as no surprise when he'd finally had enough. But, it was still very difficult to see him go. We had planned to wait a while before getting new cats. But, we just needed to...

Well, here we go again! This is probably the biggest storm of the season. And, it's headed everyone's way! (MAP & Story) The early components of it are already creating problems in western states. Later today, the systems are expected to merge. Then, all hell breaks loose! The southern...

So, I was sitting being bored the other day as my dad flipped from one thing to another and then fell asleep. One of the things he ended up sleeping to was an infomercial about Zumba, a dance fitness program. I'd never heard of it before. But, it looks like a fun way to exercise. Anyone here...

I finally have a few minutes. I've gotten several notes from folks asking how things are going. So, I thought (since my free time is very limitted at the moment) that I'd cheat and respond to everything at once. Sorry for the lack of personal responses! I'll catch up with individuals once...

They just announced that the game will be delayed due to the snow emergency going into effect this afternoon in Philly. Looks like Tuesday night for the new time.
