(OT) More Tornados.... by
Pat
I hate it when I have to stay awake till the watch is over. This one's on
until 1:00 AM. The sirens in this town are not loud enough to wake me. I
need to get a NOAA weather radio that can be set to sound alarm when a
tornado warning is issued. Also need to cut a trap door in the floor so I
can get...

(OT) Mozilla Firefox Advice by
jmcquown[_2_]
I mentioned I had to replace my PC. Now I'm trying to install Mozilla
Firefox (browser). I cannot figure out how to install this without it
asking me to d/l all this other add-on stuff I don't want.
I'll keep looking around but if anyone has a quick link to just your basic

(OT) My Friend Phil by
[email protected]
I went to the memorial service yesterday. It was a beautiful UU
service, with many of his friends getting up to speak about what he
meant to them. There were heart-wrenching stories, and laughter both.
The hard part for me was finding out what I had suspected, but did not
know for sure. Phil...

They weren't afraid of vacuuming up a little kitty litter and washing the
bathroom floor. They scoffed at the excuse there are cat feces all...

(OT) Nice online game you might enjoy by

Hi all,
I learned, there are some readers/posters in this NG who sometimes
like to play a little, not too time consuming game. Maybe, some of you
haven't heard about this one, I'm suggesting. It's called Travian

(OT) Okay, TV shows you'd watch over and over by

I Love Lucy. There's no getting around it, Lucille Ball was an original
comedic genius.
I really like the show Cold Case. Kathryn Morris (Detective Lilly Rush) has
a cat who is missing one eye and another that is missing a leg. Her
co-worker (Jeremy Ratchford as Nick) shows up at her...

(OT) Please advise on electricity by
Pat
I just got the first electric bill for this house, and I am positively
stunned at the amount. They say I used 1,433 KWH electric in one month.
How is that possible? I have a small fridge, the water heater was off for
the first week and set on 110 F. the rest of the time. Aside from those...

(OT) Purrs Please by

My husband went into the hospital last week for what should have been a
routine stay related to his heart condition. His kidneys are now failing and
the doctor told us if they can't turn this around he's going to die.
I can't stop crying.

It's almost done. I got notification from the Probate Court stating as far
as they are concerned the estate is settled. So I met with a guy at H&R
Block last Thursday to work on her final tax form (Form 1041). That's going
to cost me $300. The process seems a little backwards to me; seems...

(OT) Rant!!!! by

I spent the best part of a day getting ready to bring six of the horses into
my yard to eat down the grass, since I have no mower. This preparation
consists of first setting up a temporary electric fence around the garden so
they won't destroy it.
Here are the steps I followed:

The attorney who drew up my mother's will and handled her estate did just
that. Apparently he wants to be the next John...
