Well, here I am after a looonnnng day. Had to deal with Microsoft this morning. Started the day by calling Time Warner who could not fix my problem and told me to call Microsoft. Well it took a while to take that flight to India to meet up with someone who I thought could help me. Turns out he couldn't figure it out either. Told me that he would have a TEAM work on my problem and get back to me in 12 hours............Hello - ever hear of Thanksgiving over there? Guess not!

To make matters worse, it sounded as though he was talking from inside the toilet - and his accent was very thick. He kept thanking me for my patience.
I was on the phone with him for 137 minutes, or so my phone said.

In desparation I even called Slick and bless her - she went through many steps with me too to try to fix my problem. While we were on the phone an email came in from Microsoft that gave me instructions on what to do.

All of it had to do with FLASH! (guess I was flashing too many times?).

So then I had to fly back from India and go grocery shopping for tomorrow - when I got home the entire day was gone!!

I will have anything anyone is serving as long it is tall, cool and strong!

Yes, I am VERY thankful -for so many many things!

HEY ! No flashing in the bar!

sounds like you spent a lot of time on Bill Gate's Boeing BBJ today, Gini. Did you bring along peeps for a snack?

[Lady's Human]

Just remember everyone.......


you can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.

Walk right in it's around the back, just a half a mile from the railroad tracks!

you can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.

And sing it with FEELING!

. Well it took a while to take that flight to India to meet up with someone who I thought could help me.

So that WAS you in First Class. I was back in steerage...talking to Dell. But I was absolutely THRILLED to get my non-operational computer back to life.

I could hear him flipping through the manual....The best part was when I had to find some number on my hard drive. Had to get down flat on the floor with a flash light.

I asked him if the big clump of cat hair I removed could have been a part of the problem. I am not sure he understood....

An icy cold beer would be good about now....

Happy Turkey Thursday to all!

Mario, you look swell in that outfit.

That song is hilarious LH! Thanks for the smile!

Hi everybody, how are you tonight?

I would like some coffee, and some of that pumpkin pie, it just sounds so good. I need soothing anyway. The pumpkin pie should take care of that.

Maybe I should just try the DOTD, it does sound yummy. Mario, what are you up to, boy??

Happy Turkey Day! everyone. I brought some apple pie here for everyone. I suggested to LH to post that song after reading Gini's post about talking to Microsoft. Well have to go baste that turkey and start on the rolls.

[Kfamr]

We've got three pecan pies, 2 pumpkin, 1 apple, and 2 cherry pies..
My mom was bad and cut into one of the pecans last night after dinner but everyone is welcome to a slice or two or three or four.........

Yeah, that [is] the thing about pie - one cannot "sneak a bit" and not get noticed. Works for coffee rings, too.

Yup, Lady's Other Human is well inculcated into the family - "rolls" in our clan are special and yummy and made just for special occasions. The smell of the dough rising is part of the fabric of holiday memories for us, as well as the image of Ma with a smudge of flour on her nose, from pushing up her glasses in the midst of kneading dough!

Well, I've brought tollhouse cookies and little cranberry shortbreads shaped like turkeys - those you can have with your morning coffee, tea, or beverage of choice, and no one will be the wiser.
