Oh drat, I'm late too Randy - but the happiest of belated Birthday greetings are heading to you!! Hope it was a wonderful one filled with magic and laughter! Mara

Oh dear, only got 3 right so I flunked dismally too! No darn wonder people find the English language confusing!!! :)

Well, after reading all these posts I realize I'm incredibly jealous of all the great and imaginative toys that were had! My parents were perhaps a tad slow on the uptake of 'uni-sex' gifts - my brother got all the good stuff (trains and building sets) and I got dollies. So the Christmas I remember the most as a child was when one of my parents friends gave me a huge, brightly wrapped gift - and it was a bow and arrow! (Parents were sure the labels must have been switched :)). Was in absolute bliss with that gift!

What an absolutely lovely story- and what a dear, dear elderly lady! We were watching a program on television the other night about how rude and uncaring our society has become - and remember thinking rather than dwelling on the occasional poop we run across, they could do many many hours of all the kindnesses done each day in our world. Thanks ever so much for sharing this story, Randy!

I'm running a tad late here, I know - but welcome, tajdid - it's great to have you with us!

Gracious yes, you're already doing wonderfully well, Trace! (I don't even know what a departitioin of computer is!). It's lovely that you've joined us and welcome!

It's always lovely to get help here - and to donate as often as I can. My only complaint ... the nasty exchange rate! Yup, for every $20.00 Canadian, I suspect it's a mere pittance by the time it 'arrives'. :(

Hi Trace, Another alternative is the below. I have a lovely friend who can't "unshrink" any of the images that have been zipped and because I want her to get them with high resolution, that means they are too big to be attached to an email. I've used this site ever so often and never, ever received any 'junk' from them or any other nasties - one doesn't even have to sign up and it's also very easy to use.

Poor Australia - first the fire storms and now this! Poo and hiss to Mother Nature right now - and I do hope all goes well.

Oh they are lovely!! Hope you picked a wee nosegay for your bedside table - and thanks ever so much for sharing this glimpse of Spring with us, Bob!

Hi and welcome FrustratedGamer! I won't be any help whatsoever with questions re gaming (only suspect it's 'bigger the better' when it comes to games and computer requirements) - but it's great to have you join us here at our site! Enjoy!

Welcome Dina! Our PC Help is so wonderful, truly it is - one can't help but learn here and best of all, each person is so very patient and gives assistance in terms that are easy for even beginners to understand. It's lovely to have you join us - enjoy! :)

Happy, happy birthday Mike!

Hi Alfa, Until our experts here can rescue you, I wonder if the below will help ... "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" - This error may occur if the system time is not set correctly, if the basic input/output system (BIOS) time is not set correctly, or both" ... and it shows a few steps to fix the problem.
