Ron, time for a teambuilding exercise? I'd be banging my first on this Macbook if it hadn't been so expensive.

Hey Ron...do you know what update you installed? You would be wise to boot the PC into Safe Mode (hit F8 repeatedly before the stupid Windows loading screen comes up and choose Safe Mode using the arrow keys on your keyboard). Once you log into Windows, go into the Control Panel, and choose Add or Remove Programs, click the show updates box at the top and find that update. If you don't know what update you installed, you can also try Last Known Good Configuration from the DOS window that shows up when you hit F8. Let me know what happens.

This is the last week of work for me 'til Jan. 5th. An early Christmas present from Ford Motor Company...thank's guys!!!
My daughter is graduating High School early, in January. She'll be going to IUN in the Fall and will work and go to Vocational during the Spring. I couldn't be more proud of her than I am right now!!!

Yeah every city in Australia has a reputable Irish pub (Some have several), which always overflows on St Patricks day..... Half the people in the pub are Irish... how i love living in Australia... no lack of English/Irish/Scottish around here - and we all love our drink.
My Pub is O'Malleys, it's underground so it has this perpetual gloom, the smell of Beer and of course all the cool Irish nostalgia hanging on the walls.
We also have an Irish club.. it's pretty ritzy - haven't visited it yet, and a pub called Union jacks.. it's got a little bit of everything U.K
Best thing about Irish pubs..... PINTS!  and not to mention Irish beer you just can't get at other pubs.

...... Don't you just hate the southern hemisphere this time of year... not sure what the temp get's like in Sth Africa but here... I don't know what's worse, the blazing sun or the humidity.
If you can get your hands on a kiddy pool and a shadecloth or if you have and shade in your yard you can let the kids entertain themselves that way. I'm an adult and i still have fun with the kiddy pool....  It seems to be the thing to do here in Australia... every second house has one. They're cheap and can be packed away when finished with. Throw in a few pool toys, water pistols... etc... the kids will get exercise and it will keep them cool.

She spreads out so that she's untra-comfortable and we have to try to fit in around her little behind lol.
Friday is their last day at playschool and it's so hot that I can't let them play outside. I'm not too keen on propping them up infront of a TV all day but we run out of games or activites and then I have no option. I can only let them out after 4pm sometimes only after 5pm.. It's that hot!
Anyone got any ideas for me? |

To answer your question, my CPU automatically installed a 'Windows Update'. After it downloaded, the CPU went into 'Configuring Updates' mode. After that the CPU shut down to 're-start' , which is normal. However, the CPU failed to 're-start' and started to 'Configure Updates' again. Now it's in an eternal loop of re-configuring, shutting down and then re-configutres again. That's all it does. It won't let me re-boot or anything!!!

Hi, Joe!!
I have an idea!! Buy a puzzle!! You and your kids can spend lots of time together completing the picture on the box!!! Put some music on and it's a party!!! I should know. I used to put 1,000-piece puzzles together while listening to the radio, and eventually to Judas Priest. 
Hi, Ron!!! Good to see you again!!!

| Hi Paper...... I can relate! Went for a 4 mile run this morning... very cold weather... 10 degrees. Probably didn't stretch as much as I should've and got home... took a nice hot bath.Stretched out on the sofa to watch a litte TV and write Christmas cards. Got up after a half hr. and I could HARDLY WALK!!!! My knees and hamstrings were totally frozen! |

Good job with the race, guido!
Ouch, I can't walk either. Three weeks ago, I'm on the treadmill doing the usual 60min uphill walk and my knees decided they would like a vacation. Time to see the dr.

| A fine Sunday morning to you all. SO very good to see Necro again! My friend, I am so glad you are back! And I know what you mean about resting on Sunday. For me, Sunday is the best day of the week. I love it. It does not matter what kind of week I have, Sunday is always a day to relax and reflect. |

Good for her, Necrotist.
Seems like I've missed a fair bit this week- its been my schools production of Les Miserables. Six performances including two on saturday...
I was working backstage, costumes, makeup, more makeup (I appear to have dyed my fingers orange again) its been great but I'm not sure what to do with myself now its over. It is (was, even) my last production at school
But it was great by all accounts, lots of people saying how professional it all was  and at the end I got a special thankyou from the cast onstage and a bottle of wine, which was so sweet- I'm going to miss school drama and music more than anything else there. |

Looking forward to seeing the pictures. Was a runner myself about 15 years ago. Shin-splints and back pain sent my running shoes packing, now I'm packing about 50 extra pounds (LOL).
