I missed it because I was playing cards. Who did they kill off?

Nora....(Tom's ex-fling girl)

A new character who is moving into Mary Alice's house was introduced too. He was instumental to saving everyone from Caroline at the end.

I wonder if the lady who shot Caroline will be a new character too?

I am on the same record as you. Chocolate are jimmies...colored are sprinkles!

Hmmm never thought about that...

Yes.... Rainbow sprinkles/ Chocolate jimmies

I heard November but I don't believe they are yet. and John - NO WAY my husband would not wear them either

Does this mean he WILL wear them?

We geeks aren't bored by laptop talk (especially the Mac variety)!

More evidence Charlotte!

(Love this group - where I am not the ONLY Mac user!)

It's election day, and I had to turn around at the poll to go to work - the line was too long!
John1

Don't you hate that... I had to wait two hours to vote in the last presidential election. (For the record i did NOT vote for Bush. Neither did the rest of my state)

Our polling place was so disorganized. Apparently everyone voting had the last names M-S. Instead of putting more people on that check in point. The other lines were empty and my group had to wait and wait and wait...

 

[Jhalkias]

They actually now have a mac that does windows as well ...will help make the transition better ....When our computers go we are heading to MAC ...I am so done with PC ..

Even the Captain is a "switcher"!

Hi Karen....

Try this Charolette:

or this for other articles:

http://www.allgraphicdesign.com/graphicdesigncomputersmacorpc.html

The first article compares the G5Mac.

Big change now with Intel processors in the Mac, and ability to run Windows.

(the debate is probably over - but I'm just catching up!)

Oh, forgot -- need a DVD burner in the laptop, too.



Just checked BB's online store......they have a grand total of 2 Mac laptops listed: Models # MA472LL/A and MA255LL/A. One has 80GB and the other has 60GB.

Just checked it out on Best Buy.com . . .

Both have a Superdrive, which includes the DVD burner.

Get the 80gb HD - If you are even THINKING about loading Windows, you will need it. I have a 120gb HD in my Macbook, and I am almost out of room - with a 15gb partition for Windows.

How did you know that Yankee stuff? I have never heard of Jimmys

Dad was in the Army for 25 years so I moved around a lot and knew families from all over the country. Something triggered in my brain regarding jimmies and I wanted to make sure I understood correctly - although I did not realize their was a different between chocolate and other colors.

I even lived in the Pacific NW for a little while. Dad was stationed at Ft. Lewis and we lived in Olympia, WA. That part of the country is really beautiful. I loved living so close to Puget Sound....

That is just incredible. I am glad that we haven't reached that point with the kids yet. I would hate to have them witness something like that. If that happened to DS I would be out on the field holding his hand...not ignoring him while attacking a kid and a police officer. Football isn't exactly a wimpy sport. If you allow your child to play, then you accept the possibility that they are going to be hurt....which is why DS doesn't play football.

That was my thought too Lisa. I'd be in tears about my son and when I finallly might go ballistic...it would be at home where I'd be ranting and raving b/c I can finally realize what happened.

I'll try to find the longer version of the story. If ya knew the lady like I knew her (which I'm glad we never became close neighbor friends) the thing isn't surprising. That's probably the most unfortunate thing.

 

[becka]

that sounds like one horrible day. I hope the parties tomorrow are more fun.

Thanks but my day is not starting off so great. I left my WW book at home so it will be hard to count points at the goodie day and then after I got to work a nice lady pointed out that I had my shirt on inside out. I threw it in the dryer while getting ready to de-wrinkle a little and just threw it on as I was ready to walk out the door. Of course the kids didn't notice so I walked around like that for almost an hour!

And will anyone NOT being wearing lime green at the port?

Ok remember the guy that Linette started to chat with in the supermarket..They were talking about him moving in with his invalid sister and then Linette spotted Nora and took off.....

He was the guy who threw the can of food at Caroline at the end.

But then it was the blonde lady who shot Caroline at the end. (they mentioned that her son was in Caroline's SundaySchool class or something like that)

Anyway the guy is supposedly a single bachelor to add to the mix on Wisteria....

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Well, I am lost with all the techie posts so I will just watch the CMAs until we get back to the regular cruise talk.

I actually had to re check that I had the right thread. You guys went hi-tech FAST! But it is kinda interesting to read about. We keep talking about getting DS a computer....are they good for kids?

 

[goofyforlife]

Are we suppose to be wearing Lime Green the first day????

We are all mostly wearing the lime green disney bobblehead shirts they had on Disney shopping.com I think we bought them out though... They might still have the shirts in the other colors though..(i think they had blue, white, and one other color ..orange maybe)

a couple families are not wearing the shirts though or are just wearing them lime green. (Official DIS color)

ok i'm back to work, honest....
