FARKING WIRELESS NETWORK!

But at least my daughter's computer is now running Linux, and is on the network. Which makes her happy, because she can play web games and email her friends, and makes me happy (happier) because I don't have to disinfect her computer twice a month. I think I'm going to need to do the same to my university-provided laptop Monday. I'll need to maintain the ability to dual-boot, though, so I can test the website on IE.

One of our cats came from a pet store, but it was a store that (at the time) would take litters of kittens from folks who hadn't planned on having kittens (oops) and I think they were charging $20 or something like that, which basically covered the medical care they'd given and some food. This was 17 years ago. They probably don't exist any more.

Our other kitties have all been from shelters, strays, bulletin boards, etc.

I've only had one dog. He was given to my family by another family as a "Christmas present" when I was about six, and I'm not sure where they got him, but he was hardly a purebred. (Some kind of Golden Retriever mix, possibly a bit of Collie.) Probably they knew someone who had some puppies they needed to find homes for.

My dad used to buy ice cream from the Mennonites while he was in the Peace Corps in Belize. I've never had much to do with the Amish. I'm pretty disappointed about their attitudes toward animals, I must say.

They still exist. Kindle Kitten came from one of those places. I paid $30 for her, last November. But they never sell pups. Ever!

Well, on another thread Ricky did say she thought she found a repair person within a reasonable visiting distance. Let's hope so.

And oh, the group hug thing? I don't know. With ALL of us here, we'd probably squeeze her too hard, and either suffocate her (to which we'd never hear the end) or damage some other part of her that thus far still works (to which we'd never hear the end.) Did I just repeat myself? In any case, we'd never hear the end of it were we to injure her further and I, for one, couldn't handle the guilt.

It wasn't supposed to be. But, yes, it turns out that Maytag and KitchenAid are the same damn company.

Well, there's that, and the fact that I am not a very huggy sort of person. I more the everyone keep their distance and let me work on my theory of asexual reproduction in humans.

You all hug her .... and I'll watch. Not in a nasty, weird way. More like an emotionally crippled sort of way .....

If somebody on this forum has Nissan Pathfinder it will be nice to check if this information is true

If you are considering a Nissan Pathfinder or any other car with an
'independent front suspension', this little commercial should prove to
be helpful in making your purchasing decision. An 'independent front
suspension' system, is when one front wheel of a vehicle hits a bump
or pothole, it will move up or down to compensate while the other
wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each other, and
hence the expression.

Watch the attached video, a German commercial for the Nissan
Pathfinder, to find out exactly how this works. This gives a moving
experience which should benefit your understanding of this piece of
engineering. It's arguably the best explanation I've ever seen. (The
Germans obviously have better ads than we do)

My husband suggested she replace it with an LG and get back to us on performance. I wonder if that means my hands are going to get a break someday??

Nah, they don't sell LG products (or service them) in my area.
