As I have been typing it by hand, and knew there had to be a better way. AWESOME, COOL BEANS, GEEZZ THAT WILL SAVE ME TIME. YAHOO

Datway, Gosh am I observant, I didn't realize it was you. Cool beans!!!!!! It is a Pentium 2. Meant to include that. That was the question my hubby asked, am I going achieve what I am looking for with this cable gig. He will be very unhappy with me should I have this work done and it not be faster in response. Not the money so much, but they are going to have to dig a trench in his perfectly manicured yard. (when we moved here no cable was available yet) Thanks for your input, and no doubt John will have input as well. Loved your email the other night, just loved it. Kathy edited because to me did=dig I guess [This message was edited by ChattyKathy on November 08, 2002 at 6:25.]

Next week I have scheduled work to be done to change me over from a phone modem hookup to Broadband hookup. I will be having a cable modem installed for my computer. I am computer ignorant and have a question. I am under the assumption my system is slower in response to ones using DSL or Broadband (or such) because I am using a regular phone line as my dial up source. Therefore once I am using a cable on line device it should speed up. This is what I have, am I correct that this change will accomplish speed? Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222.A GenuineIntel Pentium ® Processor 64.0MG RAM System resources 58% free C drive total space 19.0GB with free space of 18.2GB D drive total space 18.6GB with free space of 18.0GB The second part of my question is this. I have Norton AntiVirus 2003 with live updates. Will this be sufficient? Do I need to mess with a firewall? Kathy

ex10, Thank you for the offer, even if I did invite myself first. Actually I would love to take you up on that offer. Possibly the spring of 2004. I realize that is a lifetime from now but we are going to Florida in the summer, at which time we will be visiting John and Hope. And I will be meeting bowtwi for the first time. Anyway back to it, the next trip to be taken would be that following spring. We have friends that live in Texas that want us to visit, well actually they want us to move there. Hot tub with a margarita in hand and some cool fellowship, oh yea! I?m there dude (also a saying of those guys) And we could solve a great deal of problems after a couple of those drinks soaking in a warm hot tub. Heck, warm that puppy up I will be right there. Kathy

Chinson, Well if he talks as "many words" as he emails then you shouldn't have to strain to come up a conversation. He seem to have mastered the ability to say LOADS of things with few words. Oops, just thought of something, when he has emailed me he used things like ???, now how is he going to be able to communicate that via words. Kathy

Radar, I sure ain't one of those. We have some awesome Mexican food places around here. If ever in my neck of the woods I will treat ya to one. Mark, Thanks for your description of Paw. Just like I thought he would look. Onegod, I love that lightbulb thing, that is great. ex10, Is the hot tub and grill thing available to a "non-celebrity" like myself? Kathy

Nothing to say, just wanted to be where the fun was for a few minutes. Kathy

Mark, Glad you laughed. Had to redeem myself after Frank's joke about "brunette's". Kathy

ouch!

Paw, You think you would want to be in the same room with the girl that drives you nuts pouring her heart out at ya? Will you be letting us know via post when you will be in the Chicago area? If I can join yall I sure will, can't make any promises but please keep us informed as it draws nearer. Kathy

This open forum has become real electric of late. I understand the need to inject humor, it is my middle name but Norm how much can you actually balance it out with humor if you are starting threads so you have a forum to fight with folks? We email each other, I think I know a little about you but to be honest to read some of the current threads going on over here is making my stomach sick. I mean it is literally making my stomach sick. I was screwed by twi beyond description, and I want you to know that to read how you are speaking to some folks is adding to that for me. Don't you think there is a balance to free speech amongst each other? No one here is all right in all things we are saying, are we? Not even me right this second in time to you. Maybe I am just still too tender in the wound area, but I can't take this stuff. Do you think others may feel the same? This Tragic person got lost in that thread--now moved to soap opera. Had they returned I have to wonder if yall would have noticed. Sorry but my stomach just can't take it over here right now. Norm, you have much to offer here, give us that stuff okay?! Kath

---am I going to wish I wasn't in this thread.

Thank you my dear bug man.

Firebee, You know the one about the sister, add that one here also. Kath

I walk at lunch with a blonde Swede who is so fiesty she makes me look like a lamb. Anyway she is telling me this account of her night that I thought someone else may enjoy. She and hubby are driving along a back road and are engaged in a heated talk about what store to pick up milk from (don't ask ) when all of a sudden a deer runs out in front of them and wham they hit it. Both get out of the truck and see it did some pretty major damage to the front in. (if you only knew how often this happens in my neck of the woods) They call the police on their cell. He arrives and the first thing he says is "so do you want to keep the fresh kill", "cause if not I need to get on the horn right away and call someone on the list to come get it". Then he says to the hubby ya think it is still diveable back to your home? Well at this point the hubby is just standing there fixated on the front of the truck, he don't even know anyone else is in the universe. This is his work truck (he owns it though) and he feels about his truck and tools like my hubby does. It is this odd affection they have going. LMAO So he hears nothing the officer is saying but no matter cause my friend is the mouth for that couple anyway it appears. She turns and looks up at this man, she is all of 4'9" maybe and says "yea sure there buddy we want the kill, what the he11 did you think we were out here for anyway, that is how we hunt--with the front end of our truck, we only called you out here to document what a huge deer this is". Then before the man can speak she says "you will have to forgive my husband here I think he may have regressed due to metal shock, I will get him home now and take him into the garage where he can heal up". This officer looks at the husband and touches him on the shoulder and says "God bless you man". They get back into the truck and the only words he says to her is "gee honey sometimes you make me look like such a fool". To which she replies "only sometimes, well he11 I must be slipping then". And my hubby thinks I am turning into a handful.

You are correct, it was Rick Walton. Kath

Last I knew he had married a staff corps girl, he himself having been in the 23rd wc. That was somewhere in the area of the fall of 1995. Thought they were going to remain on staff, but not sure. Kath

RG, Thank you for all you bring to this forum. And thank you for all you have brought to my husband and myself outside of here. We have the highest of respect and love for you Jon. Kathy (I was not talking about CFF in another post of mine, just a fyi for you)

This was in our company newsletter today, thought it may bring a smile. 1) I believe that if anything were worth doing right now, it would have been done already. 2) I will never rush into a job without a long period of adequate consideration. 3) I will meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of serious injury I could expect to receive from missing them. 4) It at first I don't succeed, there is always next year. 5) I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given. 6) I obey the law of inverse excuses, which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task. 7) I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility of new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations. 8) I will never put off until tomorrow what I can forget about forever.

Mark, Giving yall attention is one of the highlights in my life. Kath

---we sure didn't let ya did we Mark? Kath

Mark, Are ya excited there man?????? Kath

You mean we have to have a reason. Kath

TheEvan, Even though you and I may see things differently, you have always been very kind towards me. Thank you for that heart you have. Happy everyday to ya. Kathy
