call. Sherry R. has my number if you don't, and it's on the friesianlover
site as well.
Here are some details of the disaster in case anyone has a...

(OT) Dental Blues Redux by
[email protected]
Okay, so you guys made me do it. I finally got off my butt and called
the Dental Referrel group and they found a dentist office where they
are experts in dental anxiety and where they do IV sedation for oral
surgery.
Unfortunately, it is way out on the East side of town. It took me
three buses...

(OT) Do Not Call Registry Violator by
jmcquown[_2_]
(A minor rant) Early this year I had Mom's number added to the National Do
Not Call Registry. She was getting a ridiculous number of telemarketing
calls. And yes, I verified her phone number was added to the list. The
calls virtually disappeared.
Except for SunCom Wireless. Now, I...

(OT) Doctors Who Rip You Off by
jmcquown[_2_]
I'm soooo tired of doctors who rip people off.
I had an appointment yesterday with an opthalmologist. When I first moved
here in 2008 I went to this practice to get new glasses. That was almost 5
years ago. That doctor sold his practice and moved away. For whatever
reason, about 1.5 years...

(OT) Double Rainbow! by
jmcquown[_2_]
It rained here yesterday afternoon just as the sun set. That's no surprise;
it rains here a lot. And this was one of those days when it was sunny and
raining at the same time. I looked out the back window and saw this
gorgeous rainbow stretching across the sky. I stepped onto the patio to...

had last week), pays US$90+/- for a new battery for Land Rover.
Tuesday: DH still not feeling well, stays home from work. I take his
vehicle...

(ot) Fix-It? by
Jeanne Hedge
Anyone here have experience with a software package named "Fix-it"
(version 4.0)? On the face of it, it seems to me to be similar to
Norton Utilities - true?
I was helping a friend fix some computer problems today, and he had
Fix-It installed. On start-up, Fix-It started an antivirus program....

John will be here on the 23rd for a visit of as yet undetermined length.
One of the things we have planned is to go into Savannah, Georgia, which is
the largest big city nearby. We're going to take a ghost tour. There are
lots of "ghost tours" since Savannah is considered one of the most...

(OT) Hawk in a Puddle by

I was driving back from the store, I'd gotten on the island about to make
the turn into my neighborhood when I spotted a large red-tailed hawk
standing in a puddle on the corner! I was so astonished I had to pull to
the side of the road so I could look at it. What magnificent birds! I
don't...

(OT) Healing a split lip? by
Pat
A week ago I was moving a big table, holding the top of it in front of me
with the legs pointing forward, and I rammed a table leg into a doorway. The
table top struck me in the mouth, nearly broke some teeth and split open my
lip, which is now very swollen and sore. I've been putting salve on...

(OT) Help w/Thunderbird again? by

I'm trying to get Thunderbird to sort ng posts the way I'm used to in
Windows Mail (and before that, Outlook Express). I'd love to use it as
my newsreader because it does quote correctly. It's irritating the heck
out of me.
I would like it to display the latest posts first, in descending date...

The "association" where I live finally got on my last nerve. John is here
visiting. Since I have to pay to eat at the club (whether I actually eat
there or not) we decided to go there for lunch on Saturday. The weather has
been slightly cooler due to lots of rain, so we were wearing blue...

(OT) Hummingbirds by

I should have known all I had to do was post I haven't seen a hummingbird
all year when one would show up :) Persia was lounging on the back of the
sofa in the den, soaking up some rays. I looked up, there was a hummer
hovering around the window as if to ask, "where's my food?" Persia was...
