Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2006OTP: I think I am finally back
What a nightmare. New computer is in the house and the old one on a Fed Ex truck headed to somewhere in the south - TN I think. Who cares. lol Took me one solid week to load back my software and make all of it play nicely with each other. I am still seeing issues but guess what. This new computer has a key :; which fell off - well up -- two days after it arrived. Great. My personal tech guy today told me I would need to send it back to have the keyboard replaced. Told him I would call him at the end of April. I am teaching a small one time online class which I do need to prep for and that requires a computer. Adam told me to call him when I was done with the class. Told him I would call late April. Also told him I was removing the hard drive so no one could mess up what it took 7 days to fix. Glad to be back in touch. Now just need to find my sig line and install it in this reader. BTW, the new netscape does not have the mail/newsgroup thing so had to uninstall 8.1 and install 7.1 to get it. Been doing a lot of that this week. Duckie >What a nightmare. New computer is in the house and the old one on a Fed >Ex truck headed to somewhere in the south - TN I think. Who cares. lol Yeah Duckie we have missed you! We tried to conjure you up once or twice. We had some questions about Rituxan and figured you were the best to answer, but no Duckie!!! How is your CA insurance doing with your treatments? I lost your e-mail addy I changed computers and I lost it in the change so re-send it to me privately. How do you like CA and how is your family doing? We missed you, great that you are back!!!! -- MZ > >What a nightmare. New computer is in the house and the old one on a Fed > >Ex truck headed to somewhere in the south - TN I think.

We missed you, great that you are back!!!! -- MZ I want the email, too...pretty please!:) Missed you soooo much. I may even come back to play more often now that Duckie's back for good. Nah, I'm not a good risk, too much going on. Good to see you, though. Hugs, Kelly C. email me at duckie412 at g mail dot com and will send you the new one. :) For some reason I don't have yours loaded on this new machine. Duckie >>>What a nightmare.

Are you dancing these days? janice WELCOME HOME!! You have been missed, pretty lady. DeeTee > Hey Duckie > glad you are back. Are you dancing these days? > janice Are you all moved in. I think we are done. Unpacked all we can. Except for the guest room and my office -- even the pictures are hung. Duckie > WELCOME HOME!! You have been missed, pretty lady. > > DeeTee ROFL!!! Still have a LOT of boxes in the garage and we've started looking at houses in the area. Found one we really, really like, but now I can't bring it up on the MLS. I hope, I hope, I hope it has not already been sold!! We'll find out in a few days. Until then we'll just hang in there because we are on a lease here until August so can't really do anything anyway. Bob says that is why we should not even look - we'll find something, fall in love with it and then lose it 'cause we're not yet available. Glad to hear everything is going so well for you. Hugs, DeeTee > Are you all moved in. I think we are done. Unpacked all we can. Except for > the guest room and my office -- even the pictures are hung. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> DeeTee I keep thinking if we find a house that needs a great deal of work, at least we would have a house over our head while workmen are tearing the other apart. rofl of course we looked at one this weekend that needed fixing and they were asking 969,000 for it. Should have been more like 740,000 tops. Oh well. I think looking helps you know what you don't want. At least that is my excuse. Duckie > ROFL!!!

It isn't easy to find good contractors for remodeling, so you will need extra time so you can be choosy about who you use. Also keep an eye on the paper for the list of properties sold and the selling price. I routinely go into shock at what neighboring houses have been selling for. My backyard might be kind of a mess but apparently it's worth a fortune. Jo Good news is that it is taking more time to sell and the prices they start at are 50% of the time needing to be lowered. Hope that figure moves to more like 75% of the time. Having time to be choosey is the best about all this. Thanks for the heads up on the contractor issue. Duckie > With the market as insane as it is out here, looking is the only way to get > a feel for what the price really should be. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jo Dancing is good. I have a new teacher and a new studio. Making friends and all is good. Duckie > Hey Duckie > glad you are back. Are you dancing these days? > janice I just had one of our chairs recovered in South San Francisco and guess what I drove by -- See's factory. I managed to not drive straight into their driveway but sure was tempting. Duckie who is glad you are glad. I have missed you too. > duckie's back! duckie's back!

GaryZ I now am the proud owner of a seagate external hard drive. But that doesn't load software to a new hard drive. Does the ghost thing do that? Duckie >>What a nightmare.

But that doesn't >load software to a new hard drive. Does the ghost thing do that? > Duckie The ghost program makes an identical compressed copy of what ever drive you tell it to do, formatting and all! You could use your external drive to store the back-up. Next crash, new drive, virus, whatever, you can reinstall the ghost file and viola! Everything is as it was at the time you made the ghost. It is something similar to Xp's restore function, but way, way better. They have their own boot program which frees access to your own boot drive for copy/restore functions. GaryZ Good to see you back. I hope all goes well with you on the puters and class and such. Take care. If you can email me, I think you gave me your snail mail addy and now I can't find it. I am sorry.  SignatureHugs, prayers, good thoughts, Warm fuzzies, TLC, and Love Squirrely Jo > What a nightmare.

One of the "maybe I don't need it after all" excuses to not buy a new computer is all that uninstalling & installing programs, etc. I find that the new one never quite looks like the old one and I have to familiarize myself with where the programs are in the menu, etc. I'm sorry you had a bit of trouble, (heck - lots!) and hope you get it all straightened out.

Duckie > oh, joy, duckie's come home to roost! we've missed you so much. > > diane >>We have unpacked all we are going to. How are you two doing? Duckie << we are grand. . . but still not unpacked. we need built-in bookshelves and since i'm currently without a contract, we're afraid to spend the $$. so we have a gazillion boxes of books in the garage. and all the cds and stuff still in boxes as we wait for the "media wall" to be built (a couple more months). and all my wall art is still in boxes. john is working in a whole new direction in his art photography and we're waiting to redo the living room before hanging any of it. so a lot of wait, wait, wait. and RA run amok at the top dose of remicade, and john's crohns acting up. aren't you glad you asked?? but we're both very happy and love NC. how are your neighbors? how do you like CA? diane >>>We have unpacked all we are going to. How are you two doing? > Duckie << [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > diane You sound like us. Were not happy till we have a project list of things to be done. Preferably a circular list where each project cannot be settled until another one is dealt with. So nothing can be done first. Jo >>>We have unpacked all we are going to. How are you two doing? > Duckie << [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > diane You sound like us. Were not happy till we have a project list of things to be done. Preferably a circular list where each project cannot be settled until another one is dealt with. So nothing can be done first. Jo LOL! with my guys, i think the overwhelm would get to them, so they developed the circular list as a delay tactic.<smile> kate Ouch to no contract, bigger ouch to RA running amok and poor John with his Crohn's. NC is a great state -- met my John there while in college -- blind date. CA is great. People keep telling us that all this rain is really unusual. I keep saying at least you don't have to shovel it. And I have been in sandels since we arrived. Next year I will think it is cold but right now 50 seems really warm. Coldest it got was 35. When we left Boston it was 3. Flowers have been blooming in the yard since we arrived. Not sure how you can tell it is spring if blooming flowers is not the guide. John is settling in more slowly but that doesn't surprise me. We get to see Jen and Jeff about once a week. In fact just ate dinner at their place tonight. Neighbors are mostly women - lol A new couple just moved in next door so finally a man in the neighborhood. Hoping once it gets what is considered warm here we can have the whole lot over for outside grazing. Duckie .... > how are your neighbors? how do you like CA? > > diane Wishing you all that are unpacking and moving in lots of luck. I hope none of you flare because of it. Diane, I hope you and John areboth doing well soon. I am going to write you later on reading your books. If I ever get a chance to finish writing stuff. Am behind because of all the storms.

How are you two doing? > Duckie << [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > diane Welcome home! We've missed you greatly. I hope your computer woes are over for a while. hey, if you want to see pics of our adopted kitty, check out http://community.webshots.com/album/548696158yduCRq though he's already grown a lot in the two weeks since those were taken. We are still a bit surprised to find ourselves to captivated by a cat! LOL we're trying to lease train him now that spring's coming. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare I love the picture of Mike and Puddin'. Puddin' has done a great job wrapping you around the paw. lol http://www.hdw-inc.com/walkingjackets.htm These are the walking jackets I got for my two. If fitted correctly there is no way to escape from them. Those figure 8 ones my two managed to wiggle and twist and back right out of. Collar types pulled right off. If I had to -- all I had to do was grab a handful of the jacket and lift it. They wore them for the full weekend the time we drove to Maine with them screaming the whole way. Duckie > Welcome home! We've missed you greatly. > I hope your computer woes are over for a while. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > are still a bit surprised to find ourselves to captivated by a cat! LOL > we're trying to lease train him now that spring's coming. Great invention there, Duckie, by whomever designed it. The only traveling I had to do with my cat was to the vets, as he detested the car. The dog, no problem; I just had to put his stuff in a bag, or just get his leash, and he was ready to go! Did they scream in the same pitch? LOL Loujean >I love the picture of Mike and Puddin'.

So far he hasn't figured out how to escape the H-harness, but he isn't too happy about going in it! LOL tried to put it on him for a while just around the house this evening, but he'd escape each time I almost had it buckled. Well, it won't be nice enough outside to take him out again for a few days, so we'll bide our time. On the positive side, he passed his first vet visit with good marks. Returns in two weeks for booster shots and to become an "IT". Mike's been working on our 2005 taxes and the first quarterly filing for 06 and keeps wondering if we can't somehow claim vet bills as medical expenses.

I've been sneaking the harness on Puddin's when he's really relaxed, but even that takes some effort. Once it's on, he's ok with that, but going on he thinks it's a game.
