Reply to Hardy Hardy Har... Me Has A New 19' WS Monitor in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Ok monitor is up and running, wow wide screen ohhhhh, ahhhhhh, lot's of desk space to put more crap on, just not doing the duel monitor thing. Ah my friend Steve is letting me buy his tower, cheap. Wow I can now get rid of my,( and I kid you not my friends) intel pentium 3 with 601MHz and 512 mem. My computer friend Steve just laughs at me and my old tower, I just keep saying it's 54 years old just like me...just as slow as me as well. Can't upgrade the darn motherboard or memory but now he is p

I was fine with my 20" crt till I bid on a monitor online and won it for next to nothing. I bought my son a tv from the same site last year, they delivered it on a pallet and it took three of us to get it in his room after we took the door off. Now I too will have a 19" LCD for more desk space too. Yeah I am happy too. My husband wasn't even upset that I spent the money because of the price, got a great deal on a MP3/MP4 with fm radio too. We also are getting a set of Cobra two way radios for us

Reply to Whats on your Holiday Wish List? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A simple plane ticket to see my daughter who was parentally kidnapped 32 years ago. I have found her and we talk on the phone and email all the time. I just can't afford to go see her right now. She too has children to buy christmas gifts for and can't afford it either. We have tried to get the news media to take an interest and nothing yet. I would really like to have a one on one with her and talk to her face to face. After 32 years we really want to hug and say hello and cry and all that but

Computer monitor 20" widescreen, don't plan on it though. Nice thought though. No one here makes that kind of money and too many bills. Would hope someone will give one away after the holidays on one of the free sites or share sites in my town. I have a 20" crt. Takes up alot of space on the desk. Oh well I hope to get one soon. I usually just ask for one thing and most times it's expensive. Oh well. I get stuff I really don't want, but hey maybe if I take everything back that I get it might giv

I have to say I did shop comp USA and did find a lot of bargins in those bins, you have to dig I tell ya, but they are there. Some of the monitors are the best prices anywhere but don't know how long they last, maybe as long as a bic lighter. Don't know. Bought two computers from Best Buy but hell, this one is old and slow now. Can't afford a new one yet but hoping soon. This one has been upgraded as far as it can be, I think. I hate to see people out of work but it h

Why I should win a subscription. Too stupid to make my own stuff. Been a member so long you would think I have learned enough from the best in the business to do all of this myself. Because my friends think I do this stuff all by my self, until I tell them where I get it all. I have the nicest desktop of all my friends and need more to show them they too can have the same stuff if they would only purchase a subscription of their own. If it's free, it's for me if I can ge

I agree with this Bush Bashing no matter where I find it. I have been told by soooooo many people that they didn't vote for Bush, if that is the case then who voted him in? I will bet no one wants to admit they did. Four years was all we should have put up with from the start. Since President Clinton left office it's become harder for the poorest to get anywhere. There are no jobs, no one can live on min. wage unless they live with their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends

There are several ways to search, with your full name like maxine schleisner, then there is mschleisner, then just schleisner, last name only works for other family members or strangers and people who share your last name, If you are a Smith or Jones forget it.... you would be there all day. On additional pages I find my first name and other last names. Some pages list last name with people I am sure are not related. Yahoo, and other sites too like ASK will do the same search but with different

I googled my name and did a search on yahoo, and msn. I am everywhere man...It's crazy. I have stuff online since 2001. It's kinda scary to find yourself all over the internet. I did my full name and my first initial and my last name and came up with a ton of stuff. Just go out there and look. Tell me what you found? Are you as freaked out as I am?

What is art and what isn't is apparent here because we have pictures (photos) that did make the cut. Child like drawings are not art to me yet they made it, a picture of a corvette in a driveway. (Miguel Aero Bliss) this is a photo of a child although it has been enhanced is still a pictuer of someones kid. Maybe they just got by or maybe it is in the art factor in the eyes of the person who approved it. I don't know but I see alot of things here I think are not only personal but not artistic in

Now if I can just keep the marathon phone calls to less than five hours all will be well. When you have a cell phone and make those free nights and weekend calls you can really keep someone from their life. I cracked up when I looked at my phone the other night and realized I kept her on for that long She said she didn't mind but I try to hug the phone much tighter I will need a new phone. I think it's really hard for me to get my head around

I thank you Jafo for your insight. I continue to try to make great walls, but as I said sometimes I submit for selfish reasons, like the last one where my daughter is dressed up as marilyn monroe. I really had to laugh because she won several contests and I was all gitty like a school girl and all. My bad. I just thought it would be fun for someone to have a marilyn monroe look-alike on their desktop, (you know pin-up type pic) and really wasn't thinking about it from a serious point of view. I

It funny too, I added once to my own site as well and the photos were not allowed in my own site. The site is not my own, my subscription is also not mine either evidently even though I paid for it. I know I don't know how to do alot with the walls I make for my computer out of pictures that I take. I have never learned how to make a zip file or change the sizes of my pictures so yes I have been told several times not to put personal pictures in here, however if you look at the walls you will se

I have tried to put stuff on my site only and not in the photo section and still get crabbed at. I go to diviant art and my stuff is taken there without complaint. The last upload was the last here. I was basically told not to bother because of size and everything else about it. My pics are all over the internet and I don't care if I download anything more here. I just will come and take and not give back, I pay so I will take. My stuff isn't good enough for here. I have been informed so I guess

Thanks for the support, and to those still looking for someone, DO NOT GIVE UP. They may not want to talk now but they will in time. Time seems to be the thing we can afford if we are healthy. I know sometimes it seems like a lost cause but trust me, it never is. If you are trying to keep in touch with your kids and are a broken family, I know how hard that can be. Grown kids still need to know you care, even if they act like they don't. Deep inside they feel that connection when you keep trying

This may not interest most but this is a true story. I have been searching for my missing daughter for 32 years. She was parentally kidnapped by her father, my boyfriend back in 1975. I have found her and she is healthy, married and living in Delaware. I live in Florida but that doesn't stop us from phone calls and emails. You just can't imagine what it's like to know your child is out there, get no help from the system, no help but hope when a T.V. show calls and acts like they are interested

I find it really amazing that a person with so much invested in his files would ignore simple updates for his computer. Microsoft updates all it's screw-up for our protection and to keep out the stuff we are vunderable too.
