    Sofs  smile   CONGRATULATIONS.  WHERE'S THE CAMERA????  lol

    I join you in the club tonight--not sure how long either!

    Oh my goodness.  Oh yes, Marky is the beautiful singer and so you have two sons who are quite far apart in age don't you.
    Thanks for clarifying.  You must have been confused with all my questioning.  lol    Well, it seems you have a very bright son if he is considering med school!  Good luck to him. smile  You must be extremely proud.

      How did you like the Video Beth? See- That is what I love because I started playing guitar at 8 years old and also play Korg X3 Keyboard. I can read music for the guitar but I play by ear with the keyboard with know problem. I listen to a song with headphones and start to play until I get it perfect. I guess I take after My Grandmom that play in the church each Sunday and didn't know how to read one note of music. and see knew every song in the churches book

            It was nice today, although a bit cloudy. Some brush fires going around due to lack of rain... canals are really low too. It's scary. I hope it rains soon. I'm tired of watering my plants!

            Since you're always sharing videos, here is one of my favorites... not as old as Queensryche, but this is my favorite singer/songwriter. The video is a cruel depiction of what happens to me every time I play in public. lol Hope you enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqPVXTOKqqs

            I just tried to play it and there is a short advertisement about mormonism... it's so odd, since the song criticizes religion so badly. lol

              Yeah I saw the ad too about the guy having a drinking problem. When I played in a band people would throw loose change onto the stage at school dances . I don't know if it was because they loved out playing or hated it and wanted to kill us lol big_smile

              good Vid Klara, A little slower than I am used to lol Linda hates what I listen to so it's a wonder why I am half hard of hearing from my studio headphones smilesmilesmile

              To be honest every hub I write I listen to music through my headphones and most of it is what I share with your. Actually my fingers type to the music believe it or not lol I must think I am on the Keyboards

    I'm here briefly just before starting suppoer (5 pm_

    Job interview went well, all in all, BUT not going to take it. Not feeling at all comfortable with the job expectations-driving all over the rural countryside, covering four counties, (gas prices being what they are), and having to be on call in which means going out in the middle of the night trying to find these homes...that's not to mention what will happen during hurricane season.   sad     I was so excited and now I am discouraged once more.  I wish I had more medical experience so I could just transition onto a med floor, but that is not my area of expertise.    Bummer.

      Don't be discourage Denise. Something will come up when least expected. You will see.. You will find the right job that will make you happy. Good for you that you didn't take that job. It sounds like so much expected out of you and going out in the middle of the night. I know you wouldn't like that too much. I know I would not. That's why I never went for funeral Dir. because of being on call and getting up for a call in the middle of the night with bad weather etc. Hang in there it will come:)smilesmilesmile try to enjoy your din din:)smile

    Good afternoon Mark, Denise, Sofs, Beth, Steve, and anyone else dropping by! Hope you are all having a great day, mine started a bit weird, but with the Heat win tonight it should get better, plus it was the kids' last day... I'm excited about that. Tomorrow is just to turn in the keys, and wave good bye until mid August. smile I made it alive! smile

    Mark, I had my years of Queensryche and other heavy metal bands, but I've moved on to other rock genres ever since. It's not that I don't appreciate that type of music, but I have different tastes now, and listening to Anthrax doesn't do much for me anymore. I can appreciate any music that is of good quality, from the ol' man Willy Nelson to Nine Inch Nails. If the music speaks to me, it's good. smile

      Hello Klara on this HOT!!! Day in NJ. How are you doing with the heat ( Team)and your (weather)?  Yeah my taste for music changed too, I used to listen to the Turtles,Bee Gees Beatles and all that kind of music.  I believe that was about 100 years ago it seems lol What I listen to just gets my heart pumped up. even though I can't understand one word of what they are singing unless I read the lyrics around with the song. It amazes me how these musicians can play, such as going up and down those frets and one end to the other on the keyboards, not to say how many calories the Drummer is burning up!!!!

      have a great evening and if you have a drink tonight at South Beach think of me having my Dunkin lol

        Congrats Mark! That's a lot of hubs! I don't know how you do it. I can't get my butt to write all the inspirational stuff I had intended to do when I signed up. I do write, but other things, not online.
        Heat game in an hour. We will be staying at home with our eleven year old eskie. She's a doll, and loves being the center of attention.
        My husband got into a car accident this morning. I had to go to the rescue because he got nervous and the 20 year old girl who hit him was a total mess, crying, screaming. Everyone was okay, and the insurance is paying for everything and the rental. It's just that when you have a day like that, the best thing to do is STAY HOME. smile I'm turning in keys to the classroom tomorrow. Wooooohoooooo... Summer VACATION! In laws will be visiting in a couple of weeks, then it's off to Key West, St. Augustine, Cape Canaveral, Disney, etc. We'll see if I last that long! lol

    Cardelean is counting the days as well--Cara is my daughter and teaches 4th grade.  You see her on this thread occasionally when she has a spare moment.  She has a 2 & 4 yo at home and my granddaughter is out of preschool now b/c mommy is home.  But, they are both going to attend vacation bible school for a week or so... Hey...smile  Maybe that is where I need to send J  lol   If he wasn't so old (teen) I would send him off to camp smile   Well, at least he will be at the hospital volunteering again this summer for four weeks (I hope).  And, my brother in MN also invited him out for a week to visit his cousins so that will help.   smile   

    It is sooo hot and muggy here tonight.  I'm staying in until it is cool enough to let the dog out for a run in the field.  Grilling chops on the deck tonight with a nice glass of pear wine.  YUM! Applesauce and baked potatoe!

    bonjour Klara, Sophs, Mark, Denise and Steven!!! smile


    Mark, you need to determine whether it is hardware or software.  If it's hardware, you need to see if it's the motherboard or another circuit board.  Motherboards are too expensive to replace.  Better off just purchasing a new computer.

    If its software, then back up your work, and format the hard drive.  You will have to reinstall all your applications and information. 

    BUT

    before you format your hard drive, run a virus scan (a full and complete one) first.  If  you don't have a virus protection software, go and purchase it.  The free stuff on the net isn't always good.  Try Norton or Kapersky.  They're good and they automatically update.

    When you run the scan, it will provide you with a report of what was found.  It sounds more like a virus or trojan.  If it is, then you can remove it with the software.  If the problems still occur after you have done this, take it to a reputable computer tech shop and tell them you need help in removing a trojan off the hard drive.  They will help you do this (probably for a fee, but much cheaper than buying another computer or formatting your hard drive)

    Once your machine is clean, keep the anti-virus protection up to date and check your firewall settings to keep future viruses/trojans out.

      You are a sweetie Beth. I will work on it when I get to the shore and see what I can do. If I don't see you because of no PC have a wonderful, safe and happy weekend smilesmilesmilesmile

I am going to because first the drive one way is 60 miles and now I am worried about when it snows and ice etc. That will be bad. Also I was thinking about looking into the hospital down here. They are tripling the ER and sure they will need some more employees. It is only 3 mile from my house. and a fairly new Hospital. I have 10 years experience in the Hospital field.

We're planning to go to downtown, where they'll have a giant screen outside the arena for those of us that couldn't afford to buy tickets. It gets really crazy, so we'll have to leave early.

          Thanks.  The 'challenge' is to find a job among one of the three hospitals that is in the system that still honors the pension plan that I was originally offered on my date of hire.  I am one year away from being fully vested and it has been quite an ordeal when this process of termination began in April with the new manager that was hired in.  she is a royal B.B.B. (see my hub earlier to find out what that means, lol)  and was gunning for me to cry and run away.  It didn't happen that way, but I am despartley trying to hang obto my pension!!!

    Hello everyone! It looks like we're going to get some rain. We need it badly. Everglades are burning up and the stench is terrible when the wind blows the smoke our way.

    @Mark, you haven't moved in yet and you already broke a pipe?! yikes How do you do it, buddy? lol you'll get it fixed. I'm sure. Houses are like cars, one thing after another.

    @Cara, I read a lot and try to stay away from TV. I don't watch the news and find out about hurricanes when I see my neighbors boarding up their windows. I love writing fiction, but because English is not my first language, I have to be on top of my game, so I must read. Funny thing is that I've spoken English longer than I have Spanish, which is my native tongue. So, I'm like the coffee creamer (Half & Half), plenty of Spanglish, but not completely fluent in either language. I can't get the "IN, ON, AT" correct, for the life of me! It's "in the year 2011", yet we say "on Tuesday, December 14" You are either IN or ON but I can't get it in my head. sad So I do a lot of googling, dictionary.com, and proofreading. No other choice.
    But for now, I'm reading THE SHINING and it's scaring the living out of me, and I'm only on page 20. He is truly THE King!

    @Denise - Listen to me on this one Denise. Do your visualization every day, as many times as you can. See yourself employed by the people that need to hire you. And repeat your self a mantra every thirty minutes saying. "I'm so happy because I was able to get hired by ___________ (fill in the blank). It works WONDERS! Trust me. It's the only magic that is real. Anything you want will come your way. That's how I found my hubby, and we are so meant to be together! smile I'll be praying for you, sending you good vibes!

        meow! meow! hey klara, long time no see. hows it going?  I see you're looking as lovely as always. wink 

        Oh hey did you by any chance see the new thread i opened up about Charles Barkley?  Apparently, he's betting on the Mavericks to win the championship this year, and you'll never believe what he's wagering.  wink  lol

        Here's the link if you want to check it out.

          We'll be outside the American Airlines watching the game from the giant screen. smile that is, if it doesn't rain.

          It's crazy here, Steve. I've never seen so many MH flags in cars, homes, businesses, everywhere. I don't know why they say we (the fans) are not good. What they don't get is this... Miami is not a normal city in the US. Miami is like a big airport, where people come and go from one year to the next. So the crowd that might be in the arena one year might not be there the next. We still went to several games last year even though it was not as eventful as now. We'll just have to roll with the punches. We've become the world's favorite target. What else can we do except let out a fake cough and keep walking forward. wink

            That's cool.  Well I think Barkley kind of a hypocrite if you ask me, as he bailed out on two of the teams he's played for in an effort to win a ring, so he's really no better than James.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Heat fan either.  However, you have to give credit where credit is due.  The Heat have overcome a lot of adversity this year, and I think both sides have done a fair amount of trash talking.  Sure, it wasn't that great for LeBron James and Dwayne Wade to laugh at Dirk's expense, but it was also just as rude for Deshaun Stevenson and Jason Terry to openly mock LeBron James' game.  You could easily villify either side in this finals with the amount of trash talking anyway. 

            What surprises me though is that even though Jason Terry and Stevenson are mocking James publicly, he's not really making them pay for it like I know Michael Jordan would've.  Hell, he'd get pissed off if you just called him, "Mr. Jordan" before a game, and score like 50 points against the team that offended him.  Unfortunately, I don't know what's wrong with James, as he really needs to step up and prove all his doubters wrong. 

            Oh well I guess we'll have to wait and see.  Anyways, thanks for commenting on my thread Klara. Although I have to say after watching the Heat in the Finals, they're a lot better than I thought they were, as I used to think they were overrated throughout the season.  However, win or lose, they definitely shown they have a lot of heart.

              They haven't exploded yet. I just have the feeling that these two games will be completely different... a much more aggressive Heat team and an outstanding game by Lebron as well. We'll have to see.
              I really like Dirk. He's an incredible player and seems like a really cool guy.

              About Barkley... I used to like him. That was before he started waving the Bulls flag over Heat fans outside the arena. I'm going to have to print his butt-naked picture and post it like a flag on my car window. smile

                Well you're certainly a true fan of theirs, as I can tell.  Although with Wade's hip injury, I don't know how effective they'll be.  Therefore, if LeBron wants to shut up Stevenson and Terry, then game 6 is going to have to be his moment to shine this time, as there's no telling how limited Wade is going to be. 

                As for Barkley, if I was him, then I'd be praying to god that the Mavericks win Game 6, as I wouldn't want to bet against the Heat in a game 7 situation.  Not when they have the home court advantage, and they would end up getting back the momentum by winning game 6 to force a decisive game 7.  Don't get me wrong, I think it could go either way in game 7, as I think both teams are pretty evenly matched.  Although history usually favors the team with the home court; which the Heat have in this series.

                    It should be one helluva a game that's for sure.  You really think Barkley will live up to his end of the bet if the Heat do manage to win two straight games?  lol

                  Stevennix2001posted 14 years agoin reply to this

                  Well Klara, as I told you before, the only team I was rooting for to win a ring is Chicago, and they were knocked out of it by your Heat.  Therefore, I really don't care who won this series.  Sure, I wanted to see Kidd and Dirk win because I always thought they were great players, and I'll admit that I still hate the hell out of LeBron for what he did.

                  However, this year's playoffs has forced me to reevaluate the Heat in  different light, as they showed a lot more heart and resolve than I ever thought they had.  Hell, I used to think they were nothing more than a collection of arrogant a**holes that acted like bullies.  However, as the playoffs rolled out, and seeing them overcome adversity, the Heat team has earned my respects.  Seriously, they're a great team.  Much better than I thought they were. 

                  Will they be back next year?  Definitely.  Although if I was LeBron, I think he needs to leave the guaranteeing of victories to Mahamad Ali and Joe Namath.  AFter all, it's great when a guy predicts that he'll win, then backs it up by actually winning.  However, when you're like LeBron guaranteeing 8 titles to Miami, and saying it'll be easy, then you're just asking for trouble if you can't deliver.  Therefore, if I'm LeBron's publicist, I'm just going to tell him to keep his big mouth shut throughout the entire next season, and just let his game do all the talking. 

                  I think Wade is still capable of being a great player, and I think if Haslem had been healthy all season, then they might've beaten the Mavericks this year. 

                  I think Spoelstra showed how truly great he is as a coach, since he still managed to coach Miami up to having one of the best records in the league; in spite of chemistry issues early on between Wade and James.

                  As for Bosh....well I think if he can get a lot more defensive on those boards, then he should do alright. 

                  James.....he needs to figure out what his exact role is on the team, as it's clear he still wants to be the alpha dog on the Heat even though it's Wade's team.  Therefore, they're going to need to work that out during this off season if they can, as I doubt teams are going to let up on them anymore than they did this season. 

                  Anyways, I'm sorry that the Heat lost but if it's any consolation, my Bulls didn't win the title this year either.  Therefore, you're not alone.  Besides, I'm sure the Heat will be back next year.

                    Good morning Steve!

                    Started my day listening to Neil Young and Old 97's Born to be in Battle (thinking of the Mavs, of course) It's a beautiful day in Florida, the sun's coming in through the window and I'm on vacation, so there are worse things than not winning an NBA title, especially when my team showed to not have an equal passion for winning. It is what it is. I'm over it and I'm smiling. They need to get it together for next year. That's all.

                    I hope you are having a beautiful day as well. XOXO


                    @ ALL WINNERS - Good morning to all of you. It's going to be a beautiful and eventful day! smile
