Surely you've learned by now that the only things safe to start or reply to on Pcom are the more intellictual topics like "What's for Supper", or TV reality shows and soap operas, but I do have to comment that your posts are more than frequent enough, and mostly lead us to think that you are just trying to stir up trouble (just like me most of the time). I did think that your reply to Mark was rude and uncalled for.

Of course we all know that terrorists would NEVER stoop so low as to recruit children or little old ladies to carry their bombs or weapons onboard an airplane, so let's just announce that we will never search those individuals again. And just where do you think they would try to hide something if they knew that TSA could never examine the breast or crotch areas of a passenger. I hate that things have come to this, but I personally have no problem with being patted down, groped, fondled, scanned, or whatever it takes to be absolutely sure that I or no one else is not trying to smuggle somethin

"There's a chemical in the pool that if you pee in it it'll turn a bright color all around you". I'm over 50 years old and still not sure that this is not true.

If your new heater is about the same type and size and in the same location as the old one, it shouldn't take any more than a couple of hours to do the job, and that includes carrying the old one out and bringing the new one in, unless it's in a really inaccessable place. Replacing a water heater is really a simple job, you could probably do it yourself if you're handy at all. If they quoted $327 and that included the price of the new heater then it may be a pretty good deal. Please be careful with who you hire.

If you're talking about what I think you might be, like a battery powered pocket tv, it will probably have a pull-up stick antenna like an FM radio and it will most likely pick up a few channels with just that, but like "justme2" said will depend on where you are located.

Yes, you've got to have an antenna like rockster said. Outside antennas are best in our area but even rabbit ears will pick up a few. The antennas are all pretty small now since everything is UHF (actually WXIA channel 11's digital signal is on VHF channel 10 but that's high enough for the small antennas to pick up). Don't be mislead and pay a lot for a special "Digital HD TV antenna". The signals are pretty much the same as they have been for years ever since UHF (channels above 13) have been around, they just carry a different type of information. If you have an older antenna on your roof an

I've posted about this before, but I have a small outside antenna that I got from MCM Electronics for $18 and pick up more than 50 digital channels for free. All the networks and major stations in Atlanta, bunch of oldies channels, spanish channels, religious channels, and music channels that repeat programming from local radio stations. That's what you need of you have a digital tuner in your TV or a converter box. In fact, I pick up several channels in my barn with just a piece of bare wire connected to a converter box and an old TV. You've got to have an antenna, but it doesn't have to be e

Exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you Paulding County E911.

I know that you shouldn't call 911 for anything other than an emergency but ever since I got VOIP phone service (Vonage, which I love) I've never been sure if a 911 call would be properly routed or not. I also would like to be sure if a call from my cell phone at home would go to the right place. Is it OK to make just a couple of calls to test things out, or would that be abuse of the system?

Were they sort of long and yellow with a little bit of green still showing on them? If so, I think I saw them over at WalMart a little while ago. Since they're just across the street they're the first ones I'd suspect. If you hurry over there you might be able to find them before they're gone and press charges. Seriously though, I think this was a dispicable thing to do! I also love to grow unusual plants (lemons and limes) here and if somebody stole mine I would be really pi$$ed. Actually, because I asked, Daniel gave me a couple of sunflower seeds from the beautiful huge plant he had gro

Wow, I never knew there was such a word as farding. Guess I shouldn't have laughed at the lady in the restaurant the other day who said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the lady's room and fard.".

Duh! It's because you were still putting on your makeup while driving! I know, I know, you were stopped at a redlight, but when I see somebody doing that I just assume that they'll probably keep on doing it after they're moving. Just a little touch-up here or there, won't take but a second and I'm very careful. I don't stare when I see something like this, I just try to stay as far away from their car as I can when we get moving.

First thing to try is doing a "System Restore". Depending on your version it may be under "Help and support" from your start button, or in "Control Panel" under "Actions" (for Windows 7). You're looking for "Restore my computer to an earlier time", not to "restore files from backups". After starting the restore process you'll get a calendar on screen showing earlier dates that your computer can be restored to. Pick a date earlier than when your problem started. It's always the first thing I try when I or my friends have problems and it usually works. Good luck!

After posting several things in the "Animal House" forum recently I decided to watch "Marley & Me" tonight. I had thought it would be a silly movie so had never watched it before. One of the best movies I've ever seen! It took me three long, long, walk-away-and-do-something-else pauses near the end to make it through it, and I still ended up bawling like a baby. If you've ever lost a pet that you really loved, watch this movie.

The pump is usually a plastic housing with two hoses going to it and a pully to drive it. The outlet should be the drain hose and the inlet comes through a valve from the tub. The baseball card bicycle wheel sound you described sounds like something may be inside the pump hitting the vanes of the impeller, maybe a coin or paperclip or something. See if you can get the hoses off and look inside. Otherwise you may have to take the whole pump out and disassemble it to clean it out. Hope I'm not leading you in the wrong direction, but that's where I'd start.

Was going to suggest siphoning with a garden hose but sounds like you got the water out already. Did it come out pretty fast or did it take a long time to empty? Sometimes the pump can get clogged with lint or a sock or something making it hard for the motor to turn and causing the belt to slip and possibly get hot and cause a burning smell. The pump usually only works for a while before and during the spin cycle when it's emptying the water and may work ok while its cool but start slipping and smelling as it heats up. Good luck cleaning it out 'cause sometimes it's hard to get to and take apa

Isn't it great that our state lawmakers have spent so much time (payed for by taxpayer money) to make sure that the fireworks in our state can only send up showers of sparks and can not go "BOOM" or explode in the air with displays of brilliant colors? I for one am so glad to know that the fireworks that I'm seeing and hearing from my front porch tonight must have come from Alabama or Tennesee or Florida or South Carolina and not from my state. I just think that it's wonderful that they're protecting us from ourselves so well since they know that we would just blow ourselves up if given the fr

Actually, when I want to come to this site I just type "pauld" into my Google search bar and the "Internet Cafe" pops up as the latest forum I've visited so I click on that and go straight there. I'm usually not interested in any of the other forums 'cause most of the stuff on them is advertising or other BS that I don't really want to see. I understand now, but I'm not so sure that all of the others that come to this site know this. (Look at the first reply to my post.)

I just posted a message about somebody's pet I found but it got moved to the animal forum. How many of you are aware of the other forums? I wasn't until a short time back and I still don't really look at them often, but it seems that on this one it's more important to find out what everybody's having for supper than who's beloved pet may be missing.

Guess I did read it wrong after all. I quoted your original post above so we can clearly see how you meant just around your pool. Maybe you need to learn how to write write.

I was going to name my new baby daughter Smegma; Smegma Latishawanda. Thought it had a nice ring to it...but now you've ruined it!

Make sure that you get something that KILLS EVERYTHING!!! You certainly don't want any Honey Bees or Ladybugs or Praying Mantises or Garden Spiders hanging around your yard! And while you're at it why not get something that will kill all the frogs and maybe the birds 'cause everybody knows they can be a problem too. Better yet get a lot of gasoline and soak your whole yard and pool and house, inside and out, and sprinkle a little on yourself then strike a match. Poof!! No more problem, and the world will be a much better place for it. Sorry to be so sarcastic but it really BUGS me to know that

Pools, bathtubs, and buckets - but the most deadly are stupid parents!

Used to love those big suckers about the size of a jar lid that we got at the movies in downtown Dallas in the '50s- Wild Cherry only please! And Necco Wafers, you can still get them today in some places, and I still dump them all out and seperate them into the same colors so I can eat the same flavors all at once. Charm Pops - just remembered!

Well, I learned something today. After doing a search on the T-word and finding several definitions, you are correct. It appears that the definition has changed these days but I DID NOT know that so I didn't automatically know what he was referring to. So what can we call these young African American murderers, rapists, thieves, and carjackers now? God knows that we don't want to offend them in any way!
