Thanks for the suggestion Philly. That made the difference. Oddly, the weather didn't fix when rebooting but closing and re-opening OD+ was the fix.

I've renewed again - I have no idea how far ahead I'm set for - doesn't matter. As long as Stardock has products and a forum, I'll continue lurking. Outside of the skins, I don't remember the last non SD downloads I've made. Brad doesn't always (rarely? ;-) ) puts things diplomatically but I have every faith that what's important to subscribers will be covered.

Reply to cost of having a free cat in Humor Stardock Forums

Tova7, check your yellowpages for a naturopath. It's been a while but I spent 15 min or so holding a carrot in one and and a metal dowel in the other going ooohmmm and communing with the cosmos [e digicons]:grin:[/e] . At least that's what I remember. Felt right silly I can tell you but it seems to have worked. On another note, we have to give the little beggar an aniti-biotic pill daily. Have you every tried making a cat take a pill? Not easy

Follow up. He's home now and seems to be doing well. A little background. I've been allergic to cats for years and yet I now have two. Felix is MY cat - that is he's more closely attached to me (and oddly, I to him) than I or my friends and family would have believed. I think the allergy was cured by a naturopath (witch doctor but it workd).

Reply to Marching Band in Music Stardock Forums

You're in a tough spot. My daughter played in school bands in middle & high school as well as a couple of world acclaimed local marching bands. In her case, the director of her HS band totally blew the experience for her. He loved music but absolutely hated kids. My story is similar to hers (and to some extent, yours). I'm 57 and play first chair in a pretty good community band. My point - hang in. You need to focus more on what your gettin

Good for you. I did my 300th donation about a month back. It's a good feeling to do something positive for your community. AFAIK, statistically only about 10% of eligible donors do so.

We have 2 dogs and 2 cats which makes for lots of fur to vacuum. Anyway, Felix who is about 14 months old was clearly distress by something on Sunday. He made all kinds of unpleasant cat noises whenever anyone came near which isn't like him. He moved very gingerly and was clearly in pain. Figuring the emergency clinic would likely only hold him until Monday anyway, we brought him to our own vet who we've used many times and very much respect. It turns out

Reply to Classroom Dynamics in Just Hanging Out Stardock Forums

Tova, I too learn by interacting and I agree that I'll get every dime's worth of my money by participation. There the person I'm talking about speaks for the sake of being the center of attention - whether its useful or not. A for instance: While I was answering another student's question, my loudmouth interrupts with his own (unrelated) observation. When I responded by asking him a question, he was busy reading the newspaper and wasn't even aware I was speaking. Ther

Restaurant Service in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

We went out to dinner last night. Admittedly we go out to dinner fairly often. We like it. Last night we tried a new place. Mexican theme. It looked nice with an interesting theme appropriate menu. Josh sat us and brought the wine we order quite quickly, then Janine took over. At first things seemed like they were going well. She told us the specials and I ordered the blackened Red Snapper. That wasn't what I had in mind to order but it

Computer Assisted Learning & the classroom in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

I've just finished a class using WebCT for trade calculations. In this class, I have a number of students working at their own pace on a number of different objectives. This can lead me to any number of situations. One young man is busy on FaceBook rather than doing his course work. Another young lady seems right offended when I point out errors that she's making. Another woman in the class is single with 4 children. While she's got a good attitude, she's exhausted. I had

Classroom Dynamics in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

One of my classes is an interesting study in classroom dynamics. Although I haven’t done any formal evaluations yet, I have the sense that everyone in the class is pretty intelligent - there doesn’t seem to be anyone at sea. One particular student is pretty loudmouthed and always has something to say about anything. Not that it’s a bad thing but sometimes his comments aren’t particularly appropriate or useful The thi
