  3. Damned nice speeds BillyH80, glad it worked out well for you. That is what we are here for. Folks like you make up the forum, and keep us from beating up each other. (just kidding of course)
  4. Not sure where to start as I am usually short on words. *cough cough* I started here a few years ago, and have met a great bunch of gals and guys. I have learned much in how to keep a computer clean and running well. That was my original intentions. I guess on the lighter side, I just got plain lost. And have not been able to find the exit door since. I did find the girls dorm though. We are planning a panty raid if anyone is interested. But if you do not learn anything new or funny, you must have just missed the right door. "Off Topic" http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?board=56.0 Just click and enjoy. One day maybe I will get to be mod there when I grow up. Guess there is no chance of that ever happening.

    PC Issue

    FIgures. Norton and AOL. Not which is worse.
  6. There were 5 of us at home, all 2 years apart. 3 boys and 2 girls. Not a bad mix, until dinner time. Good thing mom was a good cook. And did not mind cooking. Seldom were there any leftovers.
  7. 2 gallons? Wow, sounds like me back then. I can't blame him. My sister tried the same thing when she was young, got so skinny I told her one day she was not looking to good. She said "guys like that". She was getting ugly. She did not problems later, but you never know. Sorry for the pics, but that is what went through my head from a movie I saw about a young girl that went over board as a teen. Maybe I worry too much, but I guess that is what good parents do. Man I could eat my parents out of house and home. And seldom be full for long. Pig out til my belly button stuck out, and an hour later be hungry. Some folks thought maybe I was sick. My grandad, bless his soul, thought maybe I had worms. Almost had to eat tobacco. (you know those old time remedys).
  8. If you really mean business, ask to speak to their supervisor. And when you get a tbad responce again ask to speak to their supervisor. And so on. I would not put up with that kind of service and price. Just my thoughts.
  9. AOL...chat room... you guys kill me. Welcome to the forum tonya29
  10. It is just that at 7 years old and a normal metabolism, the last thing she needs to hear is that she is fat. She is built like I was when I was young. Skinny as a rail, could eat anything she wants, and stands still only when she falls a sleep. I could not gain weight til I was well into my 30's. The way my sister-in-law makes it sound, she could cause my daughter to lose way too much weight and get "Anorexia nervosa" "eating behaviour is thought to originate from feelings of fatness ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorexia_nervosa She is too damned young for that type of wrong influence. She already thinks she has to look her best in everyway. Which is cool, as long as she does not think she needs to loose weight.
  11. All I can figure out coknuck is you have a custom car there. I found some similar parts from different cars. 1963 Mercury Hard top. 1958 Edsel nose. 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix trim. I know that is not it but what is a fella supposed to do after 2 hours of searching? I will add a new one to guess. "why"
  12. Sorry, I guess we all have our moments. Children are have such delicate and inquisitive minds. And that can be ruined so quickly if we let it get that way. I wonder how many spend more time taking care of their lawn, watching a football game on TV, shoot the bull on the phone, wash their car, etc... I wonder how many people will stop what they are doing to play a simple game like Candyland (or other similar board games), play catch, listen to them talk silly or laugh, just simply take time to make them feel like they are the most important thing in the whole world right at that moment. I try to do it as often as possible. Definitely at least one time a day. I just did the candyland thing (guess who lost ). It means so much to just spend the last hour with them before they go to bed. A bed time story, watching a child's movie, just what ever is left of the day. I have the rest of the day, why not? As an investment, I will be paid back many times over the rest of my life. *BEAMING*
  13. Here is a bad story as of late. My sister-in-law thought it was wise to tell my oldest daughter that milk and juice was not good for her. Man did I blow up. I asked her why would god put fruits on trees and say eat of the fruit of the tree? I asked why would cows give us milk which is of GOD. She pondered for a bit, but decided that I would not give her bad info. I confronted my sister-in-law at the next family get togather (yes in front of family) and asked her about this problem. She started and I finished. She then said don't get her started on peanut butter. We almost went around again. She finally decided that she was talking about the junk that si put in some of them. I told her to leave my childrens minds alone, or else. (by the way she is of Baptist faith). She is a previous overweight looking to keep it that way. I told her they were young and will burn off any fat that they get in cvontact with. I could go on and on. But I think you get my drift. I will also take the day off to confront the schools if necesary. I have done this on many occasion. I also teach my children to say grace for their food always, even when eating out. "No exceptions." They don't mind it at all. I make them proud of what we do. And always pat them on the back whenever I get the chance. And always tell them I love them whenever I get the chance. God love them.
  14. *OK I felt that nudge and pinch* I live 5 miles from the nearest town and major highway. And I live in Mayberry RFD at home. Just let the others have the city. I work there in the city, and leave it there when I leave the highway. "Green Acres" But not as far out. I control my kids thoughts, a "Father can do that". I only do what is right. Give me the old shows, and Jerry Springer and Dr. Phil are not allowed in my home when I am home. My children know that I do not condone it. Psychiatry is a state of mind. Depression is normally a form of giving up (not always). Most cases just need to go outside and breathe fresh air. But if you decide to survive on your own, like I have, I got off my own butt and kicked it. I wanted more out of life, and did not need some high paid psycho to tell me that.
  15. What you ae doing right here is a start water. It has to startwith a seed. People have to know that some of us are tired of believing the crap that is on our DAMNED "BOOB" tubes. It was named that for a reason. What Boob would believe everything that he sees second hand and put in the way that someone else wants it to be seen. Backwoods, maybe. But just my mentallity. I live in the real world. But I do not have to be absorbed by it. i do not have to take it home. I am not an idiot like those who believe what ever is there to be seen and read.
  16. No way, I did poorly at Spanish. That was enough.
  17. panchovilla I would have to say that TMN tests are more accurate. But they are usually pretty close in speeds. Did you clean out your computer real good? jar57 if your comp is clean you might try this: http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1703 Use the attachment at the top of the pic, it has premade settings to set your connection a little better. Follow the directions carefully. It is a TCP Optimizer. Some it works for some it does not. Don't forget to back up your "present file". < As you may want to go back to present settings. It works for me and some others.
  18. Right again coknuck. It looks much newer to me. I just don't know how you do it.
  19. Time was up so try this one. Not bad for the year. Reminds me of a Rolls Royce, sort of.
  20. Not bad for a 1957 MYRIAGON. It does look safe though, DAMNED ugly.
  21. Welcome to the forum aznramenboi and bidnas and LAMER Nice speeds fella's. Wow, a triple welcome.
  22. Just a thought, "must be really cached" do you clean out your temp files when testing over on their site?
