Nothing like an hour drive home on the freeway in the middle of the Ohio winter with the windows wide open!

LOL :D

I have adopted two Goldens and our puppy was special ordered from a breeder so Mrs. MBM3 could express her motherly instincts. Little did she, and most people, understand what a challenge goldens can be for the first two years.

Labradoodles are pretty cool and it would be nice not to vacuum all of the time. If not, let me know and I can forward a couple names of breeders. We picked up our little guy in western PA from a championship kennel. Alternatively, there a ton of great dogs who need adopted because people don't have the patience to raise them.

Goldens are wonderful dogs. My sister has one.

My mother's assistant and her then-husband (whom we'll call Tammy) went out for New Year's with my mother and some other people. "Tammy" found out that night that her system violently repels cream sauces. She came back to our house, ran for the restroom, and didn't come out until there were two flushes distinctly heard. Hence the moniker "Two-Flush Tammy".

Thanks for the offer re: breeders. I saw one in PA that got the other half's attention when I showed it to her, but we have to wait on both of the jobs to come to fruition, as we found out last night that we are both in final-candidate waiting game mode.

Looks like the Box has descended into the realm of bathroom humor again. :rolleyes:

Occassional BSODs (the memory checks fine with memtest86) and random Windows services unexpectedly quitting. The OS is well maintained and has no viruses, spyware, unnecessary programs, etc.

I've read many mixed things about Vista - some people have zero issues and others have problems. I'm not at all surprised that you and ssullivan have been happy. Oh well... :)

I do get the task scheduler engine crashing every now and then, but I don't know why and it doesn't affect anything so I just click OK and move on. The BSODs are almost certainly driver issues. The HEX codes would confirm that and the mini-dump would potentially tell you which driver it is.

With WN winning those slots at LGA they seem like a good option to get to NYC on the cheap.

Depends on where they fly the routes. They could probably come in from MDW and just print money instead of cutting rates too much.

I need to find a new source of Internet entertainment, like a timewasting game or something - between not having any books to read right now (I'm easily a hardcover per week guy) and playing the waiting game with this interview, I'm pacing around like an idiot.

If you haven't found anything yet, try 'World of Goo'. It's great for taking up a few hours of what otherwise could be productive time.

That was my thinking as well. Since it's not my laptop I have not taken too much time to investigate. I do know that all drivers are all up to date though.

In other news, Comcast has raised the rates in my area again. :rolleyes:

Nothing like a discussion of dog farts and flatulence-prodcuing concoctions to spice up the afternoon.

NOTE TO ALL WOULD BE LHR T-1 PASSENGERS.

The T-1 *A lounge is for international passengers only, those on a UK-UK,EI ticket do NOT get access.

This is important if you do not want to spend hours of your life in BD's T-1 domestic lounge.

I have already bought my bus ticket and I think jrzyshawn bought his as well as one for his O/H. If its cheap and we can get into PHL early enough for RCC drinks I am game.
