Pretty amazing! Fortunately this post is completely off-topic, and there are no cats in it. :) http://www.brighthub.com/pets/birds/articles/92107.aspx Joyce --

It only took two family practitioners, one neurologist, and an ER team, but they finally figured out that I have a fractured hip, and a dislocated hip/pubic bone (although I think they said that managed to pop back into place on its own.) They think it happened a few weeks ago or so -- in...

The task before me is to figure out how to hook up two computers (mine and Dave's) to use the same internet connection. I have a router but am not sure what has to be done and my ISP says it cannot help. They did say the modem has to be "put into bridge mode" but I have no idea what that...

I'm really aggravated at Dateline NBC who is doing a 2 hour piece on , the man who shot John Lennon. The whole reason he murdered John Lennon was to get some sick sort of fame for himself. I wish we could have put him under the prison for the rest of his life and never once mentioned his name. ...

At first I thought she must be a chihuahua-cross because she's so little and has that slightly bulgy eye look that is more prominent in chihuahuas, but on researching it more, it appears she's quite possibly a purebred rat terrier. She looks so much like these dogs, along with the ever so...

Can anyone recommend a "free" photo editor I can download? Fully functioning shareware is good, but the stuff that has a free trial period then refuses to work is worse than useless as they rarely uninstall neatly, and I don't have alot of hard drive space left. The most important features for me...

If anyone wants to see the pics from my vacation to Tropical Far North Queensland, here's a selection of the ones that were in focus and were vaguely interesting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yowie9644/sets/72157603233455014 If anyone has any questions or whatever, you know how to ask. Yowie

These are amazing 'before and after' pictures, taken from fly-overs of exactly the same spots before and after the waters rose. http://www.abc.net.au/news/infographics/qld-floods/beforeafter.htm Its amazing. Yowie

I have just posted a message in alt.pictures.binaries.animals, titled "clouded leopards at Nashville, Tennessee zoo". Due to its large size, the message actually posted as several parts, but will be recombined when you read it. These are beautiful cats, with ring patterns on their sides that give...

OK, next Saturday it will be 3 weeks and I should be able to take out the "placeholder" earrings and put regular earrings in. My question is, when are your ears supposed to stop hurting? They're not hurting badly, but they still hurt when I rotate the studs like they told me to. I'm still...

Hi Helen, I'm a part-time lurker, although not much at all lately, in this group and I've been searching for information on spider (or other unknown creature) bites. I ran across a post from you back in 2001 that sounds similar to what has happened to my granddaughter, Madison. I was just...

Here are some glass containers with covers which may work for you lunches. I have seen these in various sizes sold individually in various stores. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3988902 Randy http://www.crmartin.zoomshare.com

Marina, I sent you a couple of emails - just wondering if you got them. I didn't hear back and I wanted to make sure I was sending them to the right address. I used the address that you generally post from, the yahoo.uk address. Do you use a different address for emails? -- Joyce ^..^

I *LOVE* the Camelbak. It's so much nicer than having a canteen swinging from my neck. Thanks for clueing me in on this (and especially the tip about getting one to fit a woman, it was *very* comfortable). I had a new best today - 28 miles in less than 2 hours. I could have gone longer, but...

I'm watching Ellen and she has Matthew McConaughey on. He says he has an Airstream that's in a trailer park in Austin that is sort of his "base". Just a "heads up" to let you know to keep your camera with you when you go to the local Sav-a-Center - the only reward for the alert is... I want copies...

Hi Bridget (Metektor), Your subscription to Felinitations is 'bouncing' (ie, the messages from Felinitations aren't getting through). I've sent a reactivation request to your Yahoo addy, could you either respond to that, or log into the Felinitations site and change your addy to one that...

I need advice on cooking a boneless pork chop. Yes, it's true - I've never done it before. For someone who's been on her own for 35 years, I know very little about cooking most meats. I can cook chicken and ground beef or turkey, and fish (eg, salmon, not shellfish), and that's about it. Oh, I can...

Hi Theresa, Your subscription to Felinitations is 'bouncing' (ie, the messages from Felinitations aren't getting through). I've sent a reactivation request to your Yahoo addy, could you either respond to that, or log into the Felinitations site and change your addy to one that...

Was listening to the radio about the art of translating literature. Thought you might be interested in listening to a podcast of it: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bookshow/stories/2010/2894738.htm Yowie
