Hello ladies and gentlemen (and A Shot and a Goal).

You know you've been away too long when you forget how to find the Rep Thread!

It's good to be back.

We were just talking about you and your recaps the other day (I think in the Extra's thread). Hope all is well. Awaiting the recap since your last visit....

Nighty night nocturnal ones!

Yes, but then I couldn't go to Mickey's Diner for breakfast. Or late night food. I'm barely going to be there 48 hours! Don't need to spend most of it on public transportation. :)

If BU goes west I hope it's to St. Paul because airfare to Cincinnati is really high. Airfare to St. Paul is high, but manageable. St. Paul is a better city and arena and I will have a better time so that justifies the cost. $200 more in airfare, plus a crap location - I hope it doesn't happen. Which means it probably will.

Plus, you can stop by the GPL tailgate (which is now in the old Dairy Queen parking lot, a couple blocks from the X; next to the lot we had for the previous F4 here). Tom Reid bought the DQ/lot and uses the DQ for storage now.

Gotta love meetings with clients in their mid-80s, who have been married for 60+ years, that end up in a screaming argument between husband and wife. It was all I could to to not start laughing, especially because I helped start it, and I know these people as well as I do.

If there is tailgating going on, yes. Some folks that show up to these things are folks I rarely see, and it's good to catch up on what's going on with everyone and have a good time.

When NU visited Minnesota, I stayed at the Hampton Inn Downtown Minneapolis. It is walking distance of that cute lil thing they call 'Light Rail' and you could take that to the X.

Cabbies are still talking about mookie's overalls & cowboy boot costume. ;)

One of these years we'll have to get out there for a tailgate. Anytime Minny/St.P comes up, the hubs talks about what a great time he had out there with everyone for the FF (while I was home taking a test for my EMT license :mad: :mad: ).

I doubt there will be much for people tailgating if MN or Tech isn't there.

Then I'll just have to treat Scarlet to a martini and mookie to a beer if they show up, at a local watering hole.

Yeah, not in the insurance world. I was traveling and spent three weekends on the road. While I wasn't actually working those days, I was not home because of work so I'm owed some comp time. I could be firm and get three days but I'm only asking for one.

Just got back from my parents' house. Got home and had a voicemail from a friend of my dad's who is in his Red Sox ticket plan. Said he had sent my dad an email and hadn't heard and apparently didn't have his new number. I called my dad, he said he had the email but was still having issues sending. I emailed the friend, because he left me a voicemail but didn't leave a number, to tell him my dad was having email issues and here's his number.

At 9pm, my dad calls to ask if I got the email he sent. I did not. He's asking me what's wrong, I tell him I can't tell him as I need to check out his computer. He's stressing because he just got the Sox tickets today and he needs to send out the email to all the guys in the plan to set up his draft. I told him to call Comcast and then got so fed up with his non response to that I said "Fine. I'm coming up there now." Got in my car and drove all the way to Dracut (which is les' 'hood and on the Mass/NH border) because I have plans every night this week and I know he would be all stressed about not knowing what to do.

I told them that since I no longer have plans this weekend we're going computer shopping. Or at the very least, I'm taking their POS computer to the Geek Squad. I get that they don't really understand how to troubleshoot but the fact that they won't call Comcast, or the Geek Squad is annoying.

Can anyone recommend a computer for old people? Does any company make simple desktops anymore? I don't think they'll be able to deal with a laptop.

UAA's Womens Basketball team on to the Elite Eight! They won the West Regional tonight running through UC San Diego.

At least something at UAA is going right.

Most companies still make desktops, though their lineup might be a bit small. Just shop newegg.com, amazon, and some places like Dell's site in order to get prices. Then, if you're more inclined to purchase in person, go to whatever store you prefer to make a purchase. They'll be around $400, and you'll need to keep the old monitor in order to get that price, if that's of concern.

Simple laptops to be used as mostly internet machines really are around the same price these days, depending upon size wanted, and could be easier to use now since they're pretty much all-in-one PCs.

Even a check-writer like me has a laptop. Although I still connect the mouse to it, when I use it at home.
