Hi everyone..

Muffy . TY for posting about the pizza's.. Glad I read it cause I had some in my freezer.. they are in the garbage now as I post.   All these recalls .. getting crazy.      So sad !! 

Angie I think you are supposed to cut off the UPC code to get a refund.  You send them to the manufacturer or something.

 Tennessee Town Runs Out of Water in Southeast Drought

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,307437,00.html


It's almost this bad here.  Sometimes my water has a sort of chug-chug sound it never used to have before this drought.  This afternoon, I turned on the water and nothing happened except a trickle for a bit.  Then the water came on with that chugging sound/motion.

With 4 horses and about a dozen dogs, I don't think I could get by with three hours a day of water.

Anna,  Lordy,  I've been watching the news and how scary that several states are in that much danger for lack of water!  Praying for some down south!

OF,  Your right, I believe we skipped a holiday!  LOL  Thanksgiving?  But thanks CBB!
Your the avi queen, and klaas too, of course!

Ok, I just posted this in the lounge, but figured I would find more Monkeys here right now, so will post it here too.

I am in the market to purchase a new laptop and have been doing alot of research and checking prices, features etc.   I've noticed one that I am not very familiar with, showing up everywhere and wanted to know if anybody has any background on it.  It's Acer, which looks like they've merged with Gateway recently.
I have always been an HP person myself and did have a Gateway laptop awhile back, which I liked.  But Acer seems to fall into the cheapest category for what I am looking for, but do not want to sacrifice quality and support either.

So my question is for those who've had one and tech. savvy people for your input and advice, before I purchase anything.   I'm dying for one asap., so hoping I get some responses soon, before I just go out and purchase one for not holding myself back!  (little patience here)

Yes, Acer will be on sale at Walmart tomorrow for $348.  Looks like a pretty good deal to me.  I would want to make sure that the memory can be expanded though, right now it's 1gb and I'd prefer seeing 2gb.

[Anna]

Ha!  Bet he just wants to eat it all himself!

The "newness" will wear off, I promise, but I've got Karma all fixed up too  :



Maybe this will encourage us to shop early and have time to ENJOY the Holidays? Wouldn't count on it, but maybe!

I saw that, too, Klaas...was thinking the same, but wasn't so sure about Acer....didin't know the name.

Acer has been around a long time.  I imagine it's pretty comperable to anything else.
