Thanks Deet. I had done a Google search, but nothing came up. One of the posters does it, and for some reason it drives me batty!

Two PowerPoints and 5 boards down, one more PowerPoint and a post card to go.

Oops, sorry, Hep! Hello!!!

Shamey's back!

Yes, I am.

So, I was watching Constantine (Yeah, I know, but I have a weakness for both Keanu and Rachel Weisz.) and my TV shut off and won't come back on. This could be catastrophic. What is stranger yet is that the power button is blinking, so it's not completely dead.

Have you had a powersurge? The TV could be protecting itself.

Try turning it off at the wall for a while. If you haven't already tried it.

I didn't notice, but that's a possibility. I think we get a lot around here because it seems like I have to reset the clocks on the microwave and stove every other week.

Shocking to do that to you in the middle of a movie.

Hep, you're a genius and I love you.

Hello, Tinkerbell!

[gettinhep]

Tink! Has Andy played yet?

Hey, Girly.

Shamey, has your TV recovered?

[MotorTink]

Posted: 8/26/08 at 9:26pm

I don't think he has yet, heppy.

hiya shameys.

Any time, Shamey.

I'm about to start cutting up boxes for recycling. That means I'll be wielding a knife. With my track record this summer, wish me luck.

[shameless]

Posted: 8/26/08 at 9:55pm

It did, Hep. I unplugged the power strip for a few minutes, but then it went off again, so I'm taking the hint and letting it rest for tonight.

Edit: Girly, remember: cut away from your body, not towards.

Still at work ... stopped for a quick chat but the board is so overloaded with the stupid ads.

Herro!

My brother, Mason, fell and broke both his arms today.

That's about it for news. My last day of work is tomorrow, and then I'll be packing until I explode, just in time to move into my dorm on Saturday evening.

Now, I shall take my brand-new laptop (which came today, and that I bought myself with scholarship money) up to my room. I shall hopefully see you there.

Posted: 8/26/08 at 10:21pm

Um, ouch.

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/26/08 at 10:23pm

Oh, how'd he do that?!

Success. The only thing cut was the boxes.

[Unknown User]

Posted: 8/26/08 at 10:24pm

Yeah, ouch. He was playing kickball with all the neighborhood kiddies, and fell on his arms. He was almost out of the clinic when they realized his other arm was broken. Poor thing.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 8/26/08 at 10:24pm

DGG, so sorry to hear about your brother.

Girly, so happy to hear about your boxes.

Thanks, Miss P. He's OK. I just feel bad. He's starting 2nd grade next week.
