Watching the pilot for the new Cupid series.. this series originally debuted in 1998 with Jeremy Piven in the lead role.. looks to be good so far.. be back later to post the site of the week.
I watched it tonight too. It was better than I thought it was going to be. Did anyone catch the new show "The Osbornes Unleashed"? I started watching it and changed the channel shortly after it started. In Simon Cowell's words "I thought it was pure rubbish and absolutely ridiculous...a total waste of time!"
I read earlier that at least one station (forgot where) refused to air the Osbourne's show in that time slot due to the adult nature. I didn't see it but I think the promos were enough to turn me off from that show.
We have enough junk on tv as it is.

I didn't watch the Osbornes, Not sure i'd want to. Ozzy's voice annoys me to no end! Strange since one of my fav songs of all time is 'Close my eyes forever' by Ozzy & Lita Ford, but he's just too strange and that voice
Still missing Carol around here, was hoping she'd drop back in by now and hope PK gets her computer squared away too!
I miss Carol too, though i know she is doing ok & just busy with the critters (through Myspace), her input here is greatly missed
I made it to work, feeling weak & blah, but let's see what the day brings, i think i will either feel much better by days end or ready to collapse, hopefully feel much better.
Since you all seem so down, and it's April 1st, I decided you all need a little chearing up.
So here goes, to set the stage, a very long time ago, before mini-malls and Super stores and what have you. Communities, especially in large metropolitan areas were made of of small stores on a main street somewhere.
On Saturday's Mom's and Grandma's went shopping from store to store, butcher shops,bakeries,vegetables,in our neighborhood we had a poultry store, normally they would have one main grocery store, which back in the day was either Jewel Tea, National Tea, or A&P. Most areas had one little store that carried a good variety of things and stayed open maybe an hour longer in case you forgot something. Oh yeah, the little stores you could use your account, in case your Mom didn't give you enough money. During that time, most Dad's worked on Saturday and took the one car to work, so Mom would use public transportation to get places she needed to get to.
No stores; when I was a kid stayed open on Sunday. When Moms wanted the little bit older kids out of the way, she would give you 20 cents and you could go to the Satuday Matinee for a couple of hours at the local theatre, they had on going serial movies, mine and my cousin David were the cowboy ones.We wanted to be train & stagecoach robbers; one Sat. on our way home, I notice the little old ladies going home from shopping with their two wheeled shopping carts sort of reminded me of stage coaches and trains.
So the following Sat I had a brain storm, we didn't buy any popcorn at the matinee instead at the Haberdashery store we bought two large hankerchiefs for a nickel a piece, our disguises in order we set our plan in motion. One kid would run up tap an old ladies shopping cart and take off running, the other kid would steal the box of cookies, most times always on the top(oh yeah;you go to jail for stealing money) we would meet back at my house and share our ill gotten gain. This was going great, until I started getting a guilty conscience, as I was the one doing all the stealing. I told my cousin Dave, "it's your turn to do some of the dirty work" (like one sin was more or less than the other.) That was the day I found out the difference between a Public school education and a Catholic school education. Dave didn't read all that well, he stole a box of feminine hygiene products(don't ask me what use a little old lady would have for these things; I was only six.) But not being a wastefull child I had to figure out something to do with them. So in the house I go, got an old hoola hoop, sawed it in half, and a box of my Mom's straight pins, and we had blow guns. They could shoot around corners, or straight up in the air without moving your head.We were having a great time with our new weapons of mass destruction, until all the things were out of our reach.
They were up in tree's and tall shrubs all over my block. So I told my cousin Dave, as it was his screw up that got us into this mess, to go to Sharkey's(our corner store) sign my Mom's name and get some more of these things. ( I gave him the box) Well low and behold, Sharkeys didn't carry that particular brand, so the lady gave him different ones. They were like huge bandages, again my brain went into action, back into the house, get a bottle of catsup.
Ta, ta, ta da, we're going to play war, there were so many of the darn things we had to go get more kids. Now; my Mom and my Aunt come home, they looked around the block, said what in the world, and began chasing kids they didn't even know. Snatching these things off their heads, arms, and legs. I was in the house for a week, my cousin David got off much easier, his Mom said she couldn't stand being couped up with him inside for a week. And they wouldn't let us go to the matinee the rest of the summer. Now if you think this is a big story, my Mom is still around, and believe you me, she will tell you this story in a heart beat.
First...hi everyone.. I miss coming here when I have a minute here and there during the day or night. I only have time when I stop at my daughter's house now.
Yeah, my modem? is acting up.
Here is whats going on and maybe someone can put me in the right direction as to how to fix the problem.
First I got a message saying that my password was messed up so I could not get on the web page I was trying to access. Something about possibly due to our power flickering etc that my password is now not working correctly and I had to reset it. Well we had the snow/ice storm and this happen that morning so I figured it was from that.
So, I followed the 'continue' button to reset my password settings but it still did not work. I called and that's when I think I traveled to India and after 2 attempts to follow what they wanted and got totally frustrated I gave that up I decided to read the 'help' section. lol OK, that didn't get me to far. ...
I finally took advice from someone to totally shut the computer down, that was after I tried shutting the modem off etc. and when I rebooted the computer I was worse off. I now can't get the light on the modem to come on showing I have Internet connection and no matter what I try I get nowhere.
Oh, I maybe should mention that one thing the guy on the phone said was the fact that I not only have a modem but a wireless router for my son's game system and he felt the wireless system was messing me up and I had to remove it to get back on. But I told him we needed it for my son's game system so he was left clueless at that point as to what I could do.
OK, before I lost internet connection I did go to netgear (router) and updated my password etc. with them so that said it was working too.
So...now I sit looking at a screen with a message that the page could not come up no matter what I try.
I did try the paperclip in the reset hole and put the website you mentioned Ken this morning but still...nothing. I get an error message saying Internet Explorer can not find the page....
I guess at this point I will have to try to travel back to India but really hoped I did not have to do that since I really dislike discussing anything with them with their attitude that I am stupid the entire conversation!
Any ideas???

I miss Carol too, though i know she is doing ok & just busy with the critters (through Myspace), her input here is greatly missed
I've heard from Carol a few times, she was helping me with some info I needed for a friend looking for a home for his cat...now kittens. Anyone interested in a kitten? LOL
Anyways, she sounds ok, I do think it will be quite a while before we hear from her here though.
So...where is Keith?? Hopefully he will surface again soon. I know he has been quite busy with business etc. Hopefully he will stop by and add a few comments soon.

Any pc techs you can call on?
or pc clinic in your area?
I called one out of my local phone book a few yrs ago & turns out she lives 2 blocks from me, is very reasonable price wise & came right to my home to do whatever i needed done, cleaning, repair etc... That was before i got the pc i have now.
Now with the current pc, i wont even have it cleaned until it goes bad on me lol because i fear losing all the stuff i don't have disks for, like my corporate edition anti virus & firewall.
Having to catch up on all the work I let go 4 + weekend, thought you all might need a break from me! LOL,... Seems like ya' all could use the shot in the arm like another good Story.
Long time ago, in Wisconsin there was a terrible drought. Rivers dried, lakes, vanished. All the tribes from miles around gathered. They decided, they must act. So they sent forth unto the land the strongest, fittest, most dedicated Braves would find water.
One of these Braves shared his story.
Walking, 7 days when I drink last of my water. By 10 day, I could go no farther for I feared death. Vowed to myself, to make it over the ridge I was raising.
At the top,The most wonderful, site met my gaze. The water a turquoise blue, green, and lush around it's edge. Dropping to his Knee's, He says, " Oconomowoc? "
If you ever wondered how it got it's name I mean.
Shaken the Shah' Grimm's away. Do today, afore a day do you!
What is the Statute of Limitations on Petty theft, as a Minor.? Sure your safe????
Be nice to give PK some help, if I trusted myself not to make things worse.
Chose to update all those ZoneAlarm Virus, Adwear Definitions, Said I'd do it last week. Conficker Scared me.
Violated my Fair Access Threshold Policy. Been getting slower then May Maple syrup speeds on the Satellite today. Well check back later. TTFN.

Oconomowoc lol... interresting story & if i don't get my foot fixed soon i will be on my knees calling the name of Oconomowoc as well.
We don't need a break from you, I can only speak for me, but i enjoy your posts.
I need this day to end... I feel weak & i'm sure i will until these meds have worked their way out of my system, considering i just stopped taking them yesterday & had almost a weeks worth in me
What's everyone having for dinner?
I'm about to call my daughter & have her put a roast in the slow cooker, then maybe ask her to peal potatoes so i can just come home prepare mashed potatoes & throw some corn on with that roast, sounds like a good, yet easy dinner!
"Kotex theif finally caught after all these years: story at 5 & 10 on NBC15"
LOL
I remember when we were much younger, we went around sticking them in people's mailboxes and some street signs. I think several stayed stuck on a sign for a year. We laughed any time we went by that sign.
Hey PK. Ok you have a modem and a router. Just to narrow the problem down you can disconnect the router and just connect the modem to your computer. Reset the modem and enter your user name and password that your ISP gave you. If you can connect to the internet great.
Now turn on and reset the router. Then connect the router to your computer. Go to 192.168.1.1 and enter a new user name and password, don't use the user name and password from your ISP, make up a new password to be used only for your router.
When you reset your router the default user name and password should be:
user name: admin
password: password
or the password may be 1234
Check your routers manufacturer website for correct user name and password.
I think your modem was somehow reset and your getting into your router admin screen and not your modem screen so yeah, your stuck.
I think this should work.
If you had a lightning storm it is possible you had a power surge and something got fried.
Hmmm, I know I posted something here before, now I don't see it. Did I mess up my post? Probably. Oh well, did anyone really want to know what book I got at the library today? Probably not.
For all I know I probably posted it in the wrong thread. So much for multitasking.
Good Morning Ken! Did you guys end up getting the snow that was expected?
Good morning everyone... Must be my lucky day... i went to the snack machine here at work this morning & inserted a dollar to get a small bag of 'natures trail mix' and much to my surprise, out came two bags of trail mix, a bag of cheetos, a bag of fritos, 2 kit kats & 3 bags of m & m's lol ALL for a buck! it was like the machine was possessed & just kept going & going, i stood there in shock, but laughing!
You cant get that anywhere else for a buck now days i tell ya! Here i was thinking (as i deposited that dollar) "wow what a rip off to pay this buck for a few nuts & seeds"... guess i wasn't the one ripped off after all I came back & told my co-worker, he ran there with all his single dollars LOL he tried twice & got 2 candy bars... lets hope the rest of my day goes as well!
I'll say it was your lucky day. Maybe you better go to the Casino today or go buy a lottery ticket. I've only had 2 things come out at once, but I've also had things get stuck in the vending machine and had to pay twice. Did you put in another dollar to see if it happened twice? It looks like you're set for next week with all those snacks.
I hear you about the price of snacks. Yesterday I went to the gas station and got a bag of M&M's and it cost me $1.15. I thought that was a rip off. It wasn't even the king size bag. The price of snacks in gas stations has really gone up.
