    Ok everybody, up and at 'em! It's a beautiful, bright sunny day here - but cold! 0 degrees with the windchill - brrrr.... I brought in some more wood to keep the fire going since we'll need it on such a cold day.

    I think I'm going to make a nice bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. Something relatively healthy, but warm, anybody else want some? We've got plenty of toppers for it since I know everyone likes something different on their oatmeal.

    I've finally got my new router installed and internet back up and working well.....somewhat. It still acts up now and then but is working for the most part. So today I get to get caught up on all the work I've pushed aside the last few days as I wrestled with this durn computer. Oh, turns out my UPS (uninterruptible power system) needs a new battery also, which contributed to the geekiness my computer was experiencing. Oh the joys of computer problems. Just what was I thinking when I decided to get a degree in IT? Accounting is soooo much easier to deal with.

    Hope everyone has a great day! David, I know you'll have a great day with your new car. Slick, I saw the storms you guys were getting. Hope it doesn't dump too bad.

    Stay warm everybody, hopefully I'll see you all a little later today!

    Can I have a bowl of that oatmeal? I like real cream, brown sugar and raisens as toppers.. yum. Leaving in a few minutes to get my stitches out (from falling on my chin whilst carrying an armful of wood - watch what you're doing Debbie). I'll try to stop by later too..

    Good morning everyone! Debbie, glad to see the router is working. One of our UPS died a couple of months ago and it was the backup for 4 servers. You should has seen us scramble to get that replaced.

    Well, the news was telling us to expect some snow overnight....I only see a trace. Mind you, I'm down at sea level and I travel up the hill to get to work so I'm sure I'll encounter more on my travels this morning.

    My assistant is off for a couple of weeks so I don't have much time for PT these days. Also working a couple of weekends. Have fun everyone and I'll try to catch up on the weekend.

    Oh Debbie! That oatmeal is just the thing for a day like this! I like mine with some cinnamon on top. It's 25 degrees in the 'burgh right now with a few snow flurries and windy. The colbalt has a terrific heater. As a matter of fact EVERYTHING on the colbalt is terrific! This the first car I've owned that has a CD player!

    HI Everyone!!!

    Going to be clear up to 50 today! But then we won't be much above freezing for the next 7 days or so. Possible snow or freezing rain this weekend.

    I got the kids all stocked up with food for the month and am pooped out.

    How about a big platter of warm nachos, a cherry limeade, and 4 catnip teas for starters?

    Gosh, David, do you like your new car?
    Has Mario gone for a ride yet?
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I'm just peeking in .... been WAY too busy at work to even stop by. David, what color is your new car? Is it Green, blue (new blue?)? Sorry too busy to dig. A quick cuppa, hold the Baileys, and I'm back to work.

    anyone know how to format text in an Excel spreadsheet? The help files are useless and my boss is picky .... wants it single spaced instead of the strange spacing Excel is throwing in. Anyone?

    I may be able to help, what's happening? Can you forward me the spreadsheet you're talking about? I can PM you my email address if you'd like.


    *snicker* @ RICHARD, that's a good idea about the airlines misplacing my luggage. Wait...it might happen!
    A DGS sounds good! Send one my way, barkeep!

    Can we all say some prayers for my sister too? She just too an impossibly diffucult psychology licensure exam and has her right hip replacement surgery coming up on the 5th...

    **hugs**

    Redhedd, the colbalt has a silver exterior and a silver cloth interior. Redhedd, if you could PM me your email address, I can email you some pictures of it. It's not the actual car, but mine looks like it! Could you do me a favor and post then so that everyone on PT can see it?

    Good morning everyone...

    LH,

    Do not feel badly....I have a sink that is giving me the FITS!

    UPS, routers

    UGh......

    So many small problems, so little money, time and patience....

    The heating is tops on the list......

    I'll be back to serve later on....I have to go try something else with this problem.....

    The Ginster is doing her candy drive for her club....I hope she doesn't mind me talking out of school.....I spoke to her a few days ago!


    Small prayers for small problems......let's hope they stay that way.

    HI logan...let's take care of your insomnia...DONE!
