MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #35 4/15/09 - 4/20/09

[peanut]

You're welcome. I will join your fun one night. Thanks!

I'm watching the memorial for Sandra Cantu.

It is echoing and very hard to hear. Don't know if I can stick with it. I'm getting dizzy. Help me!

House hold hint. Never open two windows of a live feed. You will have an echo. I feel so stupid.

awww dont. under these horrific circumstances its totally understandable. it was a beautiful and extremely touching memorial, i cried my eyes out from beginning to end.

sadly it now also brings to mind the huge difference between sandras and caylees. where was the dignity and honor for caylee and caylee alone? if the anthonys dont have the sense to be ashamed of themselves, i am certainly feeling it for them.

god bless all our absent little angels and may they forever live in all our hearts.

My computer is back up!!!!  I was so upset, I think I have hives!!!!  So just in case that ever happens again, I will need all of your phone numbers in Alphbetical order so I can at least call you and tell you how upset I Im.

Hi A1! I'm glad you're back up and running. That can be so frustrating. Nice how the person you took it to tried to pin the blame on you ("it wasn't shut down correctly").

I just had to jump in to ask--this is a laptop, right? Please tell me it doesn't have any fruit-related logos on it. I won't bore you with the details, but Christmas before last, I got a great laptop. Now, I have nothing and no recourse, and I took GREAT care of it. If you went with this company, I'd say get out now.

Hi A1, I am glad you are back up and running.  You are more than welcome to call me or Jackie for computer help.  She is a little better at it  but I am much nicer!!

Speaking of laptops, something to think about:

Police in Surrey, B.C., are warning people to secure their belongings while driving after a young woman was apparently killed by her laptop last month.

Heather Storey, 25, of Delta died after the small car she was driving was hit by a tow truck turning left.

When investigators looked into the incident, however, they concluded she would have survived if not for her laptop computer.

Storey was on her way out of town for work at the time of the accident and usually kept her laptop in a backpack in the backseat, according to her brother Michael Pratt.

"What we believe happened [was] that she was struck in the back of her head and neck with this laptop computer," RCMP Sgt. Roger Morrow said Wednesday morning at the Surrey detachment, east of Vancouver

"She simply didn't have it secured within the confines of her car, and ultimately it has been the instrument of her death," he said

Her brother and mother also spoke at the detachment, warning others to take precautions to avoid similar preventable accidents.

"We miss Heather a lot. There is a whole lot to talk about, but I think mainly we're just trying to address the issue of, maybe, try not to keep stuff that can get airborne or hit you, just because your family, and people that care about you, really will miss you when you're gone," said Pratt.

Wow, Klaas, that's tragic. I'm always driving around with unsecured stuff in my passenger compartment, instead of putting things in the trunk. This is a fluke, but a wake-up call.

[mytime]

Oh, Oh, OH 

I am the best Aunt!!  I have refrences too!!  Auntie Mytime - sounds good, don't you think.

PS I still like Steele Riley!! 

But from your list, I like Benjamen the best!

I hereby dub thee Auntie Mytime!

I never gave him the Steele Riley option, and he said it sounded like a very bad male porn name.    I did not ask him how he would know, just gave him the evil eye. 

 

I like Bejamen, Nicholas or Anthony - none one shortened!! 

Oh, MYTIME, I have read musing for a long time before I joined. Do you have a fan club. If so, I would join. I love all of you over here, but I have laughed out loud so many times seeing MyTime in her scooter. I would have a hard time posting trying to keep up with everyone's wit and graphics. Just wanted to let you know I am a Musing fan, but especially a MYTIME fan!

Oh, how nice of you!!  That is so sweet!!  Please join in the fun here!!  Everyone is welcome!!

Thank you again!!   

Oh, excuse me, I failed to mention that CBB put me in the scooter and has dressed me!!  She is very talented but don't let that sweet face fool you, she has been known to bite!! 

[mytime]

Ooops, I already forget how to post.  Thank you Mytime.  Now I wish I had written down how she got it back together,  I was just so darn grateful, I think I gave away RM to her.....

 

laptop, man, laptop, man - definitely laptop!!   

[BooMonkey]

Thank you Monkeys for your suggestions for my Dad. I can't disable the car, since I am never around when he does this. So I'm calling the Dr. and I'm calling the Driver's license place. Good to know how to disable a car though!! I appreciate your help with this troubling dilemma. 

[BooMonkey]

Dolce, I like Noah, don't hear it too often and it's a good strong name. I also like the Ethan suggestion.

But you might want to consider "Payne" depending on his delivery!! My sister and I were breach!! Back when I was born they didn't have the tests to determine if we were twins or not. So it was a surprise at the last moment!  I also like the name Genevieve for a girl! My daughter is Jenna.

[Bearlyhere]

I got a problem that I need some Monkey help with. Just got off the phone with my sister and she was telling me about an issue with my father.

My father and his girlfriend went over my sister's house for Easter and she was telling her that she is afraid to drive anywhere with my Dad anymore. My Dad is 80 and has a few drinks in the evening, then drives. Apparently he's not using his oxygen tank as much as he told us either, he takes it off early and tools around town without it. This too depletes the much needed oxygen to the brain.

I have no idea on how to approach this with him. He was a terrible driver to begin with, honestly I don't know how he still has a license to drive!!! I'm so afraid that I'm going to get a phone call from the police department telling me, he's in jail for drunk driving, he killed someone or he killed himself!!! BTW, I am the black sheep in the family so I have to think of a "round about" way to get this message across. Hopefully I will get some good monkey ideas!! My tactic is to give him a good slap in the face and tell him I'm calling the cops on him, but I hear that doesn't go over well with the elderly.   

Has he had his eyes checked recently?  An eye doctor must report it if his eyesight is not good enough to drive.  His license will automatically be taken away.

Hi Bearly and Sunny!

Yeah, he's pretty good at getting all his check ups. Problem is is that he doesn't follow through with any recommended options for him. He's loosing his hearing, got a hearing aide, then decided he hated it and stopped wearing it. I think the doctors don't report things like they should. Honestly, it's for the safety of all. I know this will be a great inconvenience for him, but i don't want to see him hurt or him hurt someone else!

[mytime]

Hi Bearly and Sunny!   

Hi MT!!!!

 

    Where did you go, I was hoping to get a drink,,,could you please make it a double!!
