Mine would too, except it’s a damn ultra thin elitebook and the car would run right over it. It’s a screamer on paper but it just acts flaky all the time. :(

Prolly a web site ad trying to hack my mac. Had a web site pop up a Flash needed update with only a continue and not cancel button. My Flash auto-updates. Stupid me just used the back button instead of restarting my browser.

Good morning,

In for to class today.

Did find something interesting. The spam filter on my work account rewrites urls in the emails. Can no longer copy urls from Outlook on mac and paste into browser on Vurtual PC. Have to click to link on the mac, then copy and past from browser to browser. Found out going to the class site from the enrollment email.

TGIF everyone!

We had a phone call this morning on the land line at 7:00 AM. I would love to loose the land line, but the bosses wife insists we keep it. It only cost me the $3.95 per month in federal taxes so it is not a big issue, but still the only calls we get are the BS scammers or politicians. My MIL calls that number on occasion for whatever reason.

The call today was from Chicago, and it was Microsoft saying my computer reported a virus to them and the computer will erase all the files on it this afternoon if I don't call. It went on longer, but I punched the delete button and erased the message. Screw em. The worst part is they called us at 7:05 and we were still in bed.

Porsche-poor 01-11-2019 07:04 AM

Morning all.
I still not gotten one of those calls. Might have to have fun with them if I do.

GH85Carrera 01-11-2019 07:17 AM

It is just a recording for the call. You have to call them back to get their “help”.

Porsche-poor 01-11-2019 07:19 AM

ah. bummer keeping them on the line for as long as possible would be a blast.

I had to replace the toilet seat in our guest bathroom. I looked on-line from Sid's employer. I found a slow close, quick release, removable seat and installed that. The ladies that clean the house are here today. So I showed the one that usually does the bathrooms how it releases. Just press the little grey button, and lift straight up. Nothing but two posts are left to clean around. She thought that was the neatest thing since canned beer. I figured in her business she had seen that a lot, but evidently this was her first encounter with a removable toilet seat. It is also a slow close seat and lid, so just tilt it past vertical, and it slowly eases itself down and is silent as it closes.

We just bought one of those locally last night. It was a bit pricey, but came with a toilet. It came in a box the boy must never see because it show that you can flush a basket of golf balls. This is a child that doesn't believe advertising and thinks it needs to be tested and if it isn't what it says, get your money back.

Porsche-poor 01-11-2019 10:13 AM

that could turn out to be one expensive kid.

GH85Carrera 01-11-2019 12:34 PM

Yea, our house had typical cheap builders quality toilets when we moved in. I don't doubt that a person with a really runny nose could fill up a single Kleenex with snot and back them up. They were terrible. We replaced them many years ago with a basically un-stoppable-upabel toilet. It is nice to see the plunger in the garage bathroom gathering dust.

We noticed a few years ago on vacation when Burger King had those spicy chicken fries and the commercial said they would melt you mouth off. Well, he thought we should order some and he tried one. He finished chewing, gets out of the booth and huffs towards the counter loudly declaring they were not spicy at all and we need out money back. He has since made that complaint a few other times when he felt things were not as advertised and it is a good thing he can't drive or he would have gone back to the store right then on his own. Seeing a basket of golf balls on the box would be a clear invitation to test the toilet and plug up our septic system. Not that he hasn't plugged it up before.

He also likes to look through Shooting Illustrated and find rifles he would like. His most requested is from Daniel Defense that retails for $4500 for the bare bones unit with no sights or anything, just one 20 round mag. I told him get a job first. I sure hope he gets a good paying job.

RKDinOKC 01-11-2019 01:39 PM

Wow, I put a padded seat on my toilet at lunch today.

Several years ago Mom complained to my brother about our guest bathroom toilet sometimes requiring a double flushl. Brother got himself one of the new flush a bucket o ping pong balls toilets and installed his old one in her/my guest bathroom while I was at work one day. It flushes worse than the old one requiring a double flush almost every time now. ! If I had known he was going to replace the toilet I would have had found one that said it can flush a cat and had it waiting for him.

I have been watching, the Stargate series on Amazon. They go on the missions to other planets and the team all carry the P-90 . I was curious and looked it up. They sell for 2,500 or so used, and look like a fun toy. Of course it is a TV show of guys going to other planets battling evil aliens. Somehow I fell sure the P-90 can't really cut a tree in have from 90 yards in just seconds.

For some reason I still want a P-90, but the alien Zat gun they use would be even better.

flipper35 01-11-2019 02:45 PM

Emily and I both use P90s in our airsoft battles and for CQB or thick woods stuff they are great, handle well and versatile and ambi, but the rate of fire is less than the real ones. A good thing in my opinion.

One of the reasons they use it in Stargate is the armor piercing rounds available for the military and it cuts right through the Jaffa armor. I would believe it would in real life as well.

You can get the PS90 for $1200 if you look around enough. Same ammo as the FN FiveseveN foe civvie use.

Hope all y'all have a good weekend!
