Ask a Webmaster- here's a chance to ask anything you've been wondering about!

Sounds like me with my navigation system. I have been know to yell a few choice words at it.

Can't you change yours to a male voice? I prefer female since I'm sick to death of males telling me where to go.

I have heard Tig interact with her navigation system and it isn't pretty! It did find us a Chinese Restaurant though! Quite the snappy experience there!

Here is a better/cheaper solution that we just did. At Costco (and other places) you can get a converter thingy--you are way more technical than I am) that you plug into your cigarette lighter in the car and then can plug regular plugs into. We just got one for our car trip to NY this summer so the kids could watch DVD's on the laptop. They just plugged the laptop in. It looks almost like a regular surge protector. It cost us about $25-$30 and is so useful.

I love you Scrappy! You talk just like me! You use the technical term "thingy"!

DH is going to get me one because I am hopelessly lost all the time (STHU ALL of you!) He wants to get me one with Mr T

"Turn here FOOL"

"Don't mess with me, I SAID take a Right, YOUR OTHER RIGHT"

OMG !!!
That is too funny

Tell him I will pitch in on the cost if he finds one

But they move after the DIS goes down, and we have to blame Alex when the DIS goes down. Besides Kathy said that Rule #1 is Always Blame Alex!

Yup first thing they teach us at MOD school
is when all else fails BLAME ALEX

Which is now why I am convince He has something to
do with my inablility to see the banners

 

[LaraK]

I think WMCorey is the smilie guy, so don't blame Alex. Not for this anyway .

Oh....is WM Corey the one we bribe to get the smilies we want in the lazy section?

 

[lovetoscrap]

You mean an inverter?

Um no, I said convertor thingy and that was what I meant. If had meant that I probably would have said inverter do hickey. Now what it is actually called may be an entirelly different thing, but to me it is a converter thingy-- it converts my cigarette lighter into a regular plugin thing-a-ma-bober!

Yeah, you might want to try the bribing route. Apparently the blackmailing and threatening route has had absolutely no effect.

Thanks, lovestoscrap!

Here's a geeky quote joke for Unix people (of course lifted from bash.org's quotes, with a bit censored):

I am guessing that you did WAY better in high school and college than I did!

Well, I have to reserve some section of my brain for work stuff. And I get to justify posting here if I can use a work joke, right?

You might even be able to write off your computer and internet connection on your taxes if you do it from home!

Boss provided one laptop and pays for cable modem and long distance telephone service, but if you can get me a way to write off my bed and doggie-happy/quiet treats, I'd be thankful forever!

My navigator has multiple personalities I swear but it doesnt cost me a dime except for the cost of the phone call.

I call DH at work and he googles the directions for me then gets nasty at me . Something about he doesnt have time for this or that. There are always a few extra words thrown into the directions but I just overlook 'em.

...
I don't have a port thing in my car for my MP3 player, or else I'd download the DIS podcasts to listen to in the car .

Hey there right back at you !!

Another option is an FM transmitter. You plug the transmitter into your iPod, and listen over the radio. It is not great sound, but it's not bad either.

Where has Kathy been all day? Has she run out of answers or is she just tired of all of us?

you scared her away.

Tom Tom Go units have some celeb voices. My brother listens to John Cleese tell him where to go, it is hysterical.

Who is John Cheese? Is he related to Chester Cheetah?

I do have that effect sometimes. I will take a shower tomorrow morning because I have to go out. Maybe if I smell better she will come back

Are you joking?

Question? How often does Scrappy take a shower?

I swear I see her post all the time that she is going to take one, but rarely does she post that she actually took one.

I have one for my Ipod. Someti]mes I get great reception with it, sometimes it's all staticy. It bugs me.

Are you joking?

so are we actually supposed to post when we take a shower? Do we have a thread for that or should we just post it randomly?

What kind of a relationship are you implying that WMK and Scrappy have?

[lovetoscrap]

I have showered now. I smell be-u-ti-ful! Now I am off to the Dr. to have him tell me for the umpteenth time that if my foot hurts so bad that I cry when I walk I should just stay off of it. Or take the drugs he gives me that turn me into a . And lose some weight.

Kathy, why do we pay lots of money for setllar medical advice like this?
