    Getting the mods' attention

    Getting the mods' attention

    Is there a trick to it? I've tried e-mail, PM, and posting on their visitor board (all politely, of course). They won't respond to me. I guess they're hoping that if they ignore me long enough I'll go away. :cool1:

    MAC or PC?

    Our family now has 3 Macs and 1 PC. When the PC dies it will be replaced by another Mac. I'm the one who does the computer maintenance around here, and I've sworn that we'll never buy another PC. And yes, TurboTax works fine on a Mac. My son is about to be a computer science major at...

    So is this chick malicious, narcissistic, or what?

    The neighbors got smart and put plastic grocery bags over their car mirrors. I'm thinking of hanging a mirror in our holly tree so that she can admire herself while doing her business away from the cars! DD thinks it's hilarious that I think the bird enjoys looking at herself. But hey, I'm...

    So is this chick malicious, narcissistic, or what?

    She like to look at herself while she's pooping -- all over our cars. She sits on the driver's side mirror, poops, sits on the window ledge looking into the mirror, poops, back and forth up and down. She does the same on the passenger side. Huge streaks of poop on both sides of the car. ALL...

    What body of water were you last in wearing a bathing suit?

    Wilderness Lodge pool. December 2008. I took my girls plus DD15's best friend down for a long weekend of MVMCP and 2 park days. DD9 and I took it slow and easy, and enjoyed time at the pool too. It was delightful.

    Do you monitor your teens online activity?

    I don't. My kids are on the internet constantly. In fact, DD15 homeschools using an online high school. There's no way I could possibly monitor everything they do. They're trustworthy kids anyway.

    Laptop Advice ...

    Ooh! Ooh! I know this one! We just bought DS's laptop for school next year. First of all, Buckalew is right. You can check the school's web site for their specific requirements. Most of the schools DS applied to had a wide range. Virginia Tech was the exception; for engineering students...

    I wish they would sell liquor in the grocery store!

    Nothing in MD except at liquor stores. But DH and I don't drink, so it doesn't matter to us anyway. :)

    Tell me about Maryland

    Maryland is the PERFECT state. Not too cold in the winter, not too long for the summer. Beautiful spring and fall. It takes about 3.5 to 4 hours to get to NYC by car. There are also charter buses that will take you there.

    Question about bringing laptop to hotels...

    Some hotels have wireless and others don't. Maybe you could call the hotel and ask.

    Women who don't wear jewelry

    I wear my med alert bracelet, which is actually really pretty (beaded). I usually wear earrings if I'm leaving the house. I outgrew my wedding and engagement rings, and bought a cheap band at WalMart to wear, but then I lost that when I took it off for my last surgery. I don't wear any...

    Metal Detectors @ the Statue of Liberty and ESB UPDATE 2: We're back! And no problems

    We're back, and we had an awesome time! I got hand scanned at the Empire Statue Building, and hand patted (twice) at the Statue of Liberty. It only took a few extra minutes each time. They were very efficient and helpful. There are two metal detectors at the Statue, one before you get on...

    Metal Detectors @ the Statue of Liberty and ESB UPDATE 2: We're back! And no problems

    Ah, but they always give you a same-gender person for the pat, at least at the airport. And DH (very handsome, but not so young) will be with me!
