Comments: Ken, that dog has a great face. The guy who did this has some hilarious cat videos, too.

Comments: Oh, I am so sorry Michael. That would just break my heart if that happen to any of my cow-girls!! I've heard of it happening all too often. The cows also tend to stand under trees when it storms and the lightening will strike the tree and get the cows too. What a tragedy for your cowboy friend too. I hope the horse was insured...ours are. When it rains we bring our horses in, but they are stable horses not pasture horses are and only out in paddocks for a few hours a day for romping, sunshine and green grass(no green grass this year) otherwise they are fed twice a day and exercised everyday. Insured or not, someone would have to put me down too if any one of them were killed by lightening.
Comments: Not to change the subject...oh alright to change the subject. When the last storm that came through Chico lightening struck two of our cows, both springers (pregnant) it wasn't a pretty site. Clay told me Stace Smith Pro rodeo contractor had lightening strike one of his bucking horses. 20,000 dollar horse gone.
Comments: I have an address book with the keys written in it, in addition to being written in Sharpie on the installation CDs if I have them. I spent a lot of time today trying to decipher my handwriting -- is that a 5 or an S, that sort of thing. Photoshop wanted not only the current key, but a prior one as well. I resolve to write better! Now I need to take my data backup remote hard drive to MicroCenter and get it checked for malware before I load something bad back onto this computer. When exactly was it that we all had to learn how to be computer geeks?
Comments: Good plan, but a lot of my software was downloaded and I never had a CD. I do usually write the key on a CD when I have one. Some of the keys are stored in a Password Safe file, but guess what, it's on the same PC. I finally got it working again and got a couple of user names and passwords. Like I said, life would be so boring with a Mac!
Comments: Barry, I know exactly what you mean about finding those "Keys" and I'm not talking about house keys! When that happened to us I swore never agn wd I be looking for a key. Now, when I get a new program with a key printed on the back of the paper sleeve, using a fine point permanent marker, I carefully write the key directly on the CD. I went back & did all the apps we have & I never worry abt loosing a key agn! If you can find the CD. . . you will have the key! ![]()
Comments: Having a Mac would get so boring. Our PC at home, that has all our photos and Joan's school work, went belly up on Saturday. I am in the process of recovering. I had to reinstall XP and am slowly installing one program at a time. I have Word working, so Joan is happy. I have Quicken working so everyone that I pay on-line will be happy. It really tests my memory when the software asks for the "key" that I used when I installed it many years ago. "Let's see now, which small scrap of paper did I write that on?" I do have an online backup service, so everything is stored safely offsite. It backs up every night. My goal is to install one program a day and I should be finished in Spring 2012........ Leaving tomorrow for Warriors Weekend, so I will get a few days behind on my installations.
Comments: After this experience, a Mac is sounding pretty good to me!
Comments: Mac, anyone?
Comments: Sharon, drag your computer over to Micro Center on Spring Valley. They fixed mine for $60. I reinstalled everything today, upgraded my antivirus software, and swore off Facebook and clicking on anything inside an e-mail. Hope this works!!
Comments: I don't know what I clicked on but my office computer and two others went kaput last Friday (the 13th). My tech is here right now trying to get rid of the virus. He said he had been fighting this thing for two weeks and had already replaced 3 computers. Fortunately, mine is new enough that it warrants being cleaned up. I am using my boss's computer right now and since he never uses it, I should be okay. At least I don't have a lot of personal stuff on my office computer. I do need to replace mine at home, however, it's been down for 3 years!!
Comments: Kathleen, what happened to your friend has happened to people I know, too. I found out McAfee antivirus doesn't work, and that some of those Facebook links can cause big problems. My hard drive had ti be wiped, so this is like getting a new computer, and you know what fun that is.
Comments: Lynelle, We received a similar email from a friend who had lost his money in London and needed cash to get home. We called him and someone had hacked into his email. It turned out he wasn't in London, but Dallas. It was a clear case of stealing his identity.
Comments: Facebook and I have broken up. I clicked on a FB link that I should not have. My computer died and I lost all programs and data (or so they thought. It's all backed up. Till my computer is back home, I'm relegated to a dinky laptop. In a few days, look for a badly-worded e-mail from me that says I am stranded in some foreign land and have lost my wallet and need money. If you get a message like this, please remember I don't have a passport. This has happened to friends (real friends, not the FB kind. It's part of the scam.) However, it would be nice if you'd put the cash in an envelope and stick it under the front porch mat.
Comments: Phil, sheesh. Of course I'd be dressed if I were at the In-n-Out.
Comments: Phil how do you dress a french fry? in a french bikini?....Just wanted to give Charlotte another chance to say "Men Sheesh"
Comments: Lynell, I know you and I love Jakes hamburgers, however, IN-N-OUT has opened several locations in Dallas, Frisco,Allen area. I think they have the best hamburgers! Order the fries and get your fries dressed!
Comments: This is San Diego weather and my yard and garden have made a comeback! By the way I was not the only Polar Bear employee who made late night visits. I recall a young man who was formerly known as 'Skipper' who on occasion made late night forays!
Comments: Gotcha Phil!! haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Isn't the weather down this way gorgeous? We got an inch of blessed rain at the ranch last week....it is amazing what a little moisture will do for Mother Nature! I pray for more!
Comments: I was merely stating I would rather spend my money on a girl with dinner and since I did have a key to Polar Bear, woo her with a late night hot fudge sundae or milkshake. Is that ,was that bad? I did take Carol to Polar Bear after hours once or twice.
Comments: And when was this Phil???? Maybe Carol could tell us! haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! MEN!!!!!!!!!!SHEESH!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Ken, aka (Dr. Proctor) I could never see the ROI on giving my hard earned money to women standing on a stage dancing to music I didn't like. I much preferred actually taking a woman out with the possibility, admittedly slight of, 'midnight madness'.
Comments: Just a reminder that my daughter-in-law, Gayle Lemmon, will be appearing at the Barnes and Noble, Creekwalk Village, 801 15th St., Plano, Texas on May 19, at 7pm. She will speaking on and signing her NY Times Bestselling Book, "The Dressmaker of Khair Khana". This is a true story about a teenage woman who, during the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, created a dressmaking business out of her home to support her own family and ended up employing over 100 women in her neighborhood. Fascinating story and since Gayle has travelled for over 5 years to Afghanistan, she has become quite the expert on Afghanistan, it's people and it's problems. If you have the book, bring it and she will sign it. If not, you can purchase there and she will sign. They make wonderful gifts. Or if you just want a fascinating evening with friends, come and enjoy. Spread the word and I hope to see a lot of you there. Thanks in advance for your support of this important story.
Comments: Charlotte: The precision is not as good as the Debs, but look how many of them are out there. When we moved there in '86, Carroll was a little 3A school and the Belles were a much smaller group and more like the Debs. Growth has it's disadvantages.
Comments: Ken, I imagine I'm out of the running to be an Olympic Judge for the event you referenced. I still have that stain on my record from attempting to tip a pole dancer with eight rolls of pennies rather than four $1 bills. Those g-strings just don't support as much weight as you'd think.
Comments: Ken, are you sayin you don't have experience enough to be a judge? ahem! I suppose you want us to believe this.
Comments: Speaking of the Golden Debs and pole dancing, I see where a British company, Vertical Dance, has started an online petition to make pole dancing an official Olympic sport. If successful, I'm sure the first act would be to hire professional judges, men with vast experience, unbridled enthusiasm, and a wad of one dollar bills. Judhead Caldwell, Felipe Pelch, and Geo Johnny leap to mind. Bobby Moffett is excluded due to his nightly exposure to this activity.....at home.
Comments: Good question Kathleen. Hmmm....In my opinion, I would say discipline would be at the top of the list. Mary Thomas was a huge part of that too....she was strict and demanding if we wanted to be a part of the team, but we were better for it. We had pride in our drill team and worked hard to reflect that for our ourselves and our school. AND our practice was huge too...we started "practicing" in the summer at Saner/Beckly so that we would be ready when school started. I am probably being romantic and others may think differently, but this is my take on my experience as a Golden Deb.
Comments: Thanks, Barbara. I thought it was around '67 when the name changed, but I never knew what it was changed to. I wonder if they are still the Pivoteers? Correction from my last post - I meant to say that the Dashing Debs were the second "high school" drill team in the state. |
