I'm very sorry for your loss Dottie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR

For those of you who are interested, I have created a download, install and set up page for Ice Chat. Each step is accompanied by a screen shot. For those who do not know what Ice Chat is, it is a free chat client, much like mirc. It is fully customizable, has emoticons, and uses almost the same scripting code as mirc. In my opinion, it is easier to use than mirc if all you want to do is chat. You can use it right out of the box, so to speak. Here is the URL http://msc-care.com/index.html

I have always been told that MACs don't get viruses, but I'm seeing more and more instances of viruses/malware designed for MACs.

Happy Birthday Dottie, Enjoy all you do.

Not sure what this is about, but it sounds like it's a network for Toyota owners to give feedback both tho the company and to other owners. Can someone who understands this explain it please?

Dottie, you have been a great asset to this team from day one. I, for one, am very sorry you made this decision. That being said, I understand your reasoning and wanting to spend more time with family, but don't forget that you are a part of the koach.com family as well, so visit us now and then and update us on your life. Have a wonderful life, you deserve it, you're truly one of a kind.

Happy Birthday napalm

If your Mirc is beeping when someone joins a channel, connects to koach.com or parts a channel, here is a way to fix that. 1] go to Tools, select sounds, you'll see two dropdowns at the top right, first, click on the top one, titled "On Event, Play Sound" search the drop down for the event you want to stop. 2] Go to the lower dropdown, select "No Sound". click OK. I have everything set to 'No Sound" and this may ne what you need to do, as well.

Happy Birthday Charles

Happy Birthday Walter

Happy Birthday Apollo, hope it meets all your expectations old man

Koach gave a link to 'The Mending Wall" by Robert Frost last night ( http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/frost-mending.html ) and I was thinking that maybe on a Saturday that has come up dry for stories maybe we could discuss a poem, the mending wall has a lot to talk about, as does some of Frost's other poetry.

Thank you Nan, I'm sorry I forgot

Good one Nan

Feliz Navidad Casa

Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily in Starkville, MS. and bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day. The next morning the farmer drove up and said,"Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night." Curtis & Leroy replied, "Well, then just give us our money back." The farmer said,"Can't do that. I went and spent it already." They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule." The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?" Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off." The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!" Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!" A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked. "What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?" They said,"We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.." Leroy said, "Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898." The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?" Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back." Curtis and Leroy now work for the government. They're overseeing the Bailout Program. Recieved in email: No attribution given

I could handle a few months in Italy, as long as I have my camera.

An elderly Italian gentleman was recently being commended for his upcoming 50th wedding anniversary. "To what do you owe the success of your marriage?" one young man asked. "For our twenty-fifth anniversary I took my wife to Italy!" the gentleman replied. There were oohs and ahhs from the crowd. "What are your plans for your upcoming 50th anniversary?" another asked. " I'm gonna go and bring her back" replied the gentleman. from email, no attribution, author unknown

The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska . He was cruising along the campground in the Pope-Mobile when he heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. He found a helpless Democrat wearing shorts, sandals, a 'Vote for Obama' hat and a 'Save the Trees' shirt. The man was screaming and struggling frantically, thrashing all about, and trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly bear. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers wearing 'Go Sarah' shirts came racing up. One quickly fired a 44 magnum slug right into the bear's chest. The two other men pulled the semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using baseball bats, the three loggers finished off the bear. Two of the men dragged the dead grizzly onto the bed of their pickup truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat. As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of the men over to him. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he proudly proclaimed.. "I have heard there was bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists, but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true." As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies, "Who the heck was that guy?" "Dude, that was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom." "Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom, but he doesn't know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait still alive or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?" Source: World Net Daly Forums
