HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SCARED MONKEYS

Please take a moment to listen to some of our contributors and moderators discussing some of the events of 2007 and special New Years Wishes

Thank you all so much for doing that.

That was very special 

Yes -- surprises, galore!

Klaas,

FYI...just went to my photobucket account to check out the problem with my avatar and got this message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /albums/l5/2NJSons_Mom/ on this server.********

Not sure what that's all about...I was offline for a bit, and others used the computer in between....maybe I should reboot....I'll try that....

[2NJSons_Mom]

I have not rebooted, but still get that msg at photobucket....but my avatar is visible...not sure what's going on.

[mrs. red]

Thanks 2NJs....That is what I've been reading too and it seems you have to know what you were into when it happened. Would buy a new cpu except for vista! Having a hard enough time with these tabs.

Mum... be sure to email dugga ... dugga@scaredmonkeys.com

[klaasend]

I have not rebooted, but still get that msg at photobucket....but my avatar is visible...not sure what's going on.

It's visible because I fixed it for you, lol 

 

Edited to add:  You have a problem with your photobucket that you need to address with them.  They have problems every once in a while and people get locked out of their accounts.   I added it to your profile from MY photobucket account.

[2NJSons_Mom]

I see on Natalee's thread that Klaas fixed my avatar....why do things get complicated???  I'll reboot...that thing was fine all day, since I changed it....and so was my account...

[mrs. red]

Monkey question of the day...have any of you ever experienced some type of premonition? The kind where you have a feeling or an intuition or one where you just know something and can't explain it?  I will tell you why I asked this question later tonight. Thanks.

all the time... my friend's mom told it's the voice of God, so I always listen to it ... always.  the feeling comes as an intutitive flash....

2NJ - from the Photobucket forum:

[klaasend]

So 2NJ what that all means is that photobucket is undergoing some maintenance that is causing your problems.  Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

[2NJSons_Mom]

Rebooted...Photbucket now says:

Alert: This album is temporarily unavailable. We are aware of the issue and are working hard to resolve it. Thank you for your patience!
    phew!!!

Thanks, Klaas....I see I'm not alone, but it was spooky....made me think porcelain was permanent...or something...

[klaasend]

[2NJSons_Mom]

Bowls & ironing are up there with hate to do chores, so your smileys know it's no heartbreaker...

[klaasend]

2NJ - in the future if you have a problem with photobucket again.  If you go to the photobucket main page and scroll all the way down to the bottom, there is a FORUM link.  Normally if others are having problems there will be posts, just like there was today with people having the same problem you were.  I discovered that when I was having a problem once.

Thanks for the info...I have never spent too much time there...just uploaded a few pics today...never noticed the forum...so now I know to look....this is the first I've experienced a problem, but I use it seldom....you're the specialist.....thanks, again

Oh, and I found another cute monkey....I'll try to show tomorrow.

[Angiex911dsptchr]

SOOO monkeys...


I am curious.... who sounded the most like you pictured?  Sled said that San's voice made him think of Bernadette Peters... anyone else have some thoughts about that?

Whose voice surprised you?

Just curious... no wrong or right answers!

 I think you all sounded great and what a nice suprise

I have heard San before.. I love her accent as well.. always have told her that too.
Mrs Red.. before you said who you were..  I thought maybe you were CBB.. I loved how before you hung up,... you said who you were.. too cute.
As far as Red and Dana.. used to them.. lol
Klaasend sounded sweet as can be.. <even tho she wears pointy shoes and will kick yah..  >
CBB.. for some reason something she said REALLY touched on me bigtime.. It was near the end of her call.. and the things I am dealing with.. her words hit me.. Actually gave me some hope.  TY CBB..
 Dugga has a nice voice and Richard ~!  Whomever said ******* sounds like a DJ. I agree. He has a great voice. Sexy even..
  Did ******* see he was proposed to by Nut4x4?  LOL LOL   

You all did a fantastic job. !!!  I enjoyed listening to you all !! 

Angie, if something I said encouraged you, then I'll uncurl my toes over hearing myself! I'm glad sweetie! You hang in there, and know that you are a most important figure around here. We miss you when we don't see you!

 UNcurl those toes GAL !!  I miss you all as well.. TRUST ME

Klaas, I think it is the best $300 I have ever spent on a household device.  I really like it and if it gets collie and cat hair, well you know it will get JR hair.  Our gray persian is really, really, really hairy.  We have had persians before but never one this hairy.  I think that is why most people don't like the blue persians, because of that thick, long hair.  We get him groomed at least once a month professionally and I comb him every night when I "doctor" his eyes but he still sheds sooooo bad.

Tyler, How much noise does a Roomba make?  I can't stand hearing the vacuum cleaner long periods of time.  Is one that loud?

Oh, look, a phishing scam that threatens to kill you.  Sounds like some of the nutcases I have encountered in the Natalee Holloway case, at least like something they would do.

Not really and the nice part is you can go outside or go shopping and it will work until it is finished.  Once it gets your house clean, it will try to get back home.  It will go to its base if it has enough juice and start recharging.  If it loses "juice" to its battery, i.e., in the kitchen and its home base is a long way from there, it will just make a sad little noise and quit.  It tells you if it has something in its brushes that need to be cleaned out but if you are not home, it will just stop after a while and then you can get it out when you return and it will go back to work.  It's really quite amazing, like watching some little pet.  My #2 grandson said it needed some steak (we had beef Wellington, so he calls it steak).  The #1 and #2 grandsons named it "Spot."

Here is the monkey I found the other day:



And this one I've had saved for a while...a little more regal in appearance:
