I've never had food poisoning that I know of, thank goodness. But a couple of weeks ago, I had my first experience with a systemic allergic reaction...what caused it, we'll probably never know, according to the ER and urgent care docs, it happens to a lot to people, comes and goes, without any known cause. The facial swelling wasn't bad at all, but the hives? Oh, good Lord, I've never been so miserable. I read somewhere that one study showed that p

Insanity, Day 2 Hospital still in lockdown, had to knock on the window of the department I visit every day for them to let me in. Our special patient was on the top floor, and my duties in the hospital took me within about 50 feet of his room. And the 4 giant bodyguards sitting outside. At one point this afternoon, Jackson did his usual thing of waving to fans from his window. The funniest news of the day...the satellite trucks wer

Why not wait till his face goes into terminal melt-down and there'll be no need for a lawsuit.... Hey, that reminds me, when I got back to my office when it was time to leave, my office partner greeted me with this remark: "I have good news, don't worry, they've located his nose and it's goi

I live in Santa Maria, California. I am a nurse at Marian Extended Care Center, which is right across the street from Marian Medical Center. Today, Marian Medical Center became one of the most famous (infamous?) hospitals in the country. This is because it's the hospital where Michael Jackson ended up when he started hurling on the way to court this morning. My poor little town has never seen anything like this. It's bad enough tha

Firefox rocks!!! I hardly ever use IE anymore, unless I run into some kind of problem where a particular website is best viewed in IE or Netscape. And that seems to be happening with less and less frequency lately. For me, Firefox runs faster, and its many extensions make it very customizable and useful. I have no regrets about leaving IE behind.

I signed up for the Do Not Call List immediately, as soon as it became available. It's made a tremendous difference, my phone doesn't ring nearly as much as it used to. Now, if they could just stop the spam junk text messages sent to my cell phone....

Truer words have never been spoken! Amen! I'm not the most computer literate person in the world, but I downloaded and installed SP2 on my old computer and never had a single problem. My new computer came with SP2 already preloaded, and again, everything is working just fine. No complaints from me.

Well, it's a new year,and I treated myself to a new computer. It's going to take me a while to get my libraries rebuilt, but here's what I've got for now.... It's the X-Men theme for theme manager that was recently released, now in fine working shape

The story behind my nickname is long and boring, and the name really doesn't mean a whole lot to me anymore, but it's the name I've always used since I started surfing in '99, so I'm sticking with it since it's always been my online ID. As for the icon...I've loved Godzilla since I was a wee tot, there's just something about a guy in a rubber monster suit running around on a set and stomping cardboard buildings that entertains me, makes me lau

Rats, deleting it and redownloading it didn't fix things...I can't help but think now that having upgraded WB to the latest beta release might be the culprit.

Thanks, Essencay...I'm using the latest beta version of WB, so I dunno if that might be the problem. Plus, I'll try to redownload it again later just in case. I hope I can sort it out, since it's a very nice suite.

ooooooooooooooooooo, aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Love it, but I seem to be having a problem: As you can see, my title bar is missing chunks (with a little tiny smidgen of the legendary magic pink at the upper right corner just by the close button), and the left side of the window also seems to be missing pieces...is it just me? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/sm
