Yes did I miss the answers?

What I know about iPADs could fit on a 5 1/4" floppy. Is there anything I need to know about getting it started up? Do I need to do a factory reset or did you do that before boxing it up?

The office here is finally getting around to a "holiday" part tonight. I'll not be attending for several reasons.

1. its not the holidays now.
2. I'm to busy with dad at this point to waste free time like that.
3. its at the Lemay car museum not a thing there to see.

I did the factory reset and charged up the batteries. You may have to call apple to set it up. Tried to do a set up to see how much memory it had and when I put in my wifi it said to call apple. Went to get the serial number off the box and it had the memory listed.

I was considering that as well. I figured I should see if the little gizmo gives me the info I need.

I actually did have to walk up hill both ways. Mom and dad were on top of a hill and the school was on top of another hill. Of course it was only 4 blocks to walk and it was downhill both ways as well.

Supposed to be in the 50s today. Glad I got the ****blower out early to prep it so I would be ready for winter.

that's your problem. You got out the snow blower and got it ready. If you had left it well enough alone there would be 3' of snow on the ground.

That's what happened last year. It snowed a ton before I had moved it from the storage shed to the garage. If it weren't January I could take the Cobra out this weekend.

Yep the exact reason I bought a snow shovel. I have never used it.

We used the shovel a couple times this year. It was the light fluffy stuff and maybe an inch. I only did the concrete part so it took 15 minutes at the most.

I think we have salted the freezing rain more than we shoveled.

In a couple months we will be complaining about the bugs. I don't think it has been cold long enough to kill off the buffalo gnats.

OMG. Just got a memo, "they" have changed the name of the Human Resources Department to People of Culture. Yep, "they" are crazy and have lost their minds.

See at our company they can't even get the name of their own department right.

It was enough when the changed the department from Personnel to Human Resources. They tripled the staff to do the same job for the same number of employees.

Our organization has already gotten very top heavy with high paid name based positions that don't actually do anything..

Maybe they lef the Development off because they do nothing to develop anything.

"Back in the old days" they called that department Personnel. Then is changed to Human Resources.

Now they call the hiring department "Talent Acquisition" Like calling a "garbage man" a refuse manager. It is just a different name.

The more names you have the higher the salary.

The best is a stock holding board member. You can remotely attend only a couple of meetings a year and biocth about your money not earning enough dividends.
