(OT) Selling Jewelry by
jmcquown[_2_]
I sold some of my rhinestone jewelry but now I'm divesting myself of the
semi-precious stuff left to me by my mother.
If you know of anyone who is interested in antique cameos please let me
know. I have two of them. Both belonged to my grandmother and were given
to my mother. I've got one...

(OT) Sleeping Better! by
jmcquown[_2_]
I got a birthday present for myself!
The old-timers to this ng know I've suffered from insomnia for years.
Valerian Root capsules seem to help. Melatonin tablets work but give me
very vivid sometimes disturbing dreams.
Years ago I had a "sound machine". I won a gift certificate from some...

(OT) Smart Bunny!! by
Pat[_3_]
Our new pet is showing high intelligence!
The wild greens part are served standing in jars of water which are
placed in a 2-quart saucepan with a handle. Some of the greens are
tall enough that the bun-bun must stand up and reach for them. That
is, until a few minutes ago when bun-bun figured out...

(OT) Sparkling Repartee at home by
Kreisleriana[_3_]
From Edith Wharton and Henry James to the Roaring Twenties to Sex in the
Cities, we New Yorkers have been depicted as quick and witty, full of banter
and snappy repartee. I am glad to report to you that it is all true, and we
prove it every day on my house. For example, a couple of nights ago,...

(OT) Stumped! (PC Issue) by

I haven't been able to find an answer to this problem which has been going
on for months and driving me bananas! Hope someone can help....
I manage numerous websites of all kinds and lately I cannot access one of
them from my PC. I can access it from Dave's PC which is on the same
internet...

(OT) Talk about Rip-offs by
jmcquown[_2_]
I got something in the mail today addressed to my mother. I expect to get
things addressed to her for years to come. But here's the thing. It was
from the MOAA (Military Officer's Association of America). If she were
still alive she'd probably have sent them the information they wanted...

(OT) Testing Thunderbird for Usenet by
jmcquown[_2_]
Using Thunderbird as a newsreader is going to take some getting used to.
I'm still messing around with the settings so please bear with me.
OB Cats: I was taking some pictures of the living room. I picked up
Persia's *many* kitty toys and set them on a bookshelf so they wouldn't
clutter up...

(OT) Thanks for the Purrs and Prayers by
Fi
Hi all,
I just returned from the hospital - my husband Carl passed away this
morning. For the past few days he's been visited by every friend who could
get in to see him and there was as much laughter as tears. If there is a
good way to leave, this was it.
I want to thank everyone for their purrs...

(OT) The Lawyer Won't take my case by
jmcquown[_2_]
I'm very upset. They won't take my case against the HOA, not even to make a
simple phone call. Looks like I'm going to have to present the case before
the board myself.
John keeps telling me I can do this. Present a strong case and win them
over. I'm not as confident in myself as he...

(OT) the loser lair by
Enfilade
*commence rant*
This is a rant about the loser lair where our next door neighbours
live. TWICE this week they've woken us both from sleep with their loud
music. Once at 1:30 am, once at 3 am.
Last year, every month or so they'd get their music a little loud.
We'd go over and ask them to turn...

(OT) The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Grease by
jmcquown[_2_]
An Uplifting story :)
When I got my property tax bill for 2010 I was horrified to discover it was
more than three times above the year before. I called lots of people,
filled out lots of paperwork. In the end I still had to pay this outrageous
amount by the 15th. So I paid it. But meanwhile...

(OT) The Travel Fund by

As the connection with my potential new DH strengthens in anticipation of
our upcoming meeting, I am searching for the funds to cover my trip. Now it
could be that he will offer to reimburse some of the gas $ after I get there
but who knows, and I am not counting on it. What I am doing is saving...

(OT) Thunderbird by
jmcquown[_2_]
I really like Thunderbird as my newsreader. It quotes text
appropriately, which people have bitched at me for years about (not
necessarily on RPCA!) for using Outlook Express and Windows Mail. "Use
a real newsreader!"
But someone mentioned Thunderbird trying to "take over their email".
I'd...

(OT) USians Unclaimed Property by
jmcquown[_2_]
Years ago my father saw something on the Today Show about unclaimed
property. ("Property" includes money.) He called me and said, "You have a
computer?" Yes, I do. LOL He thought he had a savings account left from
the 1950's in Ohio when he reinlisted in the Marines after going to college....

(OT) Wash-day Weirdness (TZW) by
Wayne Mitchell
Today was laundry day, and I was reminded again of the metaphysical
questions that laundry can present. We're all familiar with the
preternatural ability of socks to disappear into the ether from within
securely latched washing machines and dryers. But there is another
laundry-day phenomenon,...

Ginger-lyn Summer
I guess I should have figured with the flood next door that it would
be our turn next.
Sigh.
Last night, I went into my closet to get a clean outfit -- only to
find my clothes soaking wet! Apparently, with all the rains here
recently, a leak in the roof became quite active, and leaked into...

someone to kill his wife. Someone alerted the police and the police called
the FBI. They sent someone in to act as a "hit man". The man was arrested
for conspiracy to commit...
