I'm with you, Kitty. We're under a freeze warning for tomorrow night. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 55 with a low of 31. I hope we don't lose any plants.

Last night I recorded a televised game on the DVD player. The playback works well and I can view the game again on the DVD unit, however I can’t view the disc on other equipment until I use the “finalize” feature and will allow the disc to be used elsewhere. I’ve gone through the manual on how to do this and it simply won’t go to the “finalize” option screen.

I’m following the instructions to the letter and it just doesn’t work. Who makes these units and why can’t they provide accurate instructions? Now I will need to call the service help desk.

Some day...dogs won't be allowed in campgrounds because people are too lazy or too special

There...a small peeve off my chest. Thanks guys and gals

I've seen people in our area leave it as well, and some have said that "I'll pick it up on the way back". I've never seen anyone on the way back picking up anything.

I finally vented and it feels good.
It goes without saying that people should clean up after their pets. Some people just are not considerate enough to figure it out.

I'm not surprised that some people can't learn to READ CAREFULLY.

I can't believe the cold weather you are getting, kitty. We should be at -15F or lower instead of 15F or much higher. No snow, no ice, nada. Nobody here remembers such a long stretch of warm weather. It's unreal....

Gosh! I can't stand spiders ... I try not to be arachnophobic and remind myself that I'm a giant compared to him but it is always a battle working up the nerve to just kill them. Fortunately, my next door neighbor willingly came over to kill it. I'm still shaken.

I just bought a digital camera to replace the one I destroyed (keys in the pocket brushing up against the screen).

I'm a very low techie, so I instructed the WalMart employee to pick a more durable one for me that a child could figure out, very-very user-friendly!

Well, well! My last camera has a written manual with it, this one has a CD, no written manual, and I first need to buy the batteries.

There's where I went wrong, not knowing how technologically advanced children are today with high-tech gadgets!

So! Back to the store to exchange it for a camera with instructions someone 80 years old with dimentia will comprehend?

Last night one of my dogs had a small stroke. They treat that with Prednisone, I had some and gave it to her. She is some better today but still not walking well. At least the rapid eye movement is gone and she did eat today. I've been through this before but still scares the H out of me. After that last night I got an anxiety attack then a bad headache, took all the meds I could find for it, finally its better but not gone. So I'm behind on everything and the meds, sinus and the motrin make me tired and mess with my mood too.

Tijlover, it might help if you read some reviews on the cameras before you decide on another model. You can read reviews on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. That's an issue that is difficult to deal with. I miss my dogs that I've had to put down years ago. It was for the best however it's never easy.
