Well off to do stuff.....

everyone

Hello, Jane, Rena, dino, Rolanda, Bean, CynB (Welcome Back early from your weekend/ anniversary), June, Gail, Broni, Suzy, Elise, MizTricia, Mary, Brenda (Welcome Back), Mamacita, and others I've missed. (We miss you Stella, Becky, Ruby, Cyndi, vdV (and others I've no doubt missed)! Hope you're all having a great day!

Suzy, congrats on the TOPPS!

julie?

Julie, I'm still around (and round). I miss the others, too, and everyone. I've been busy and sad.

Hi Ruby, how are you? What's up, are you OK?

Hi, Ruby! I'm sorry to hear that you're sad! Would you like to share? There are many who care here.

I'm fine, Broni. Just can't sleep. How are you?

Gosh, Julie I already shared. My best friend's husband died and I had to give my dog away.
Hate I missed the voyage, Broni. Where are you moored? I see that the Brisbane River is bigger than most Aussie rivers.

Just a general landmark will do, Broni. Internet security, you know. I like to look at stuff on Google Earth.

Hey Ruby, you had me worried there! Don't worry another cruise is coming up, so you can be first on the list. Moored in Aquatic Paradise which is a man made canal estate. I am lucky I have friends there that have a canal property.

I'm sorry, Ruby! I was just so afraid that there was even MORE on you plate, as if that's not enough! Did I read correctly that you would like to try to get a puppy? Is there a nearby rescue organization or shelter where you can volunteer until you get a puppy or dog of your own?
Prayers for your best friend and you as you help her try to adjust and move on.

yeah you can even see the skylights on the roof of my house from google

When I was young, I figured that by now we'd be living like the Jetsons. Now I want to know why we aren't talking to each other like the little boy and his dad on the Oreo commercial.

I don't want another pup just yet, but I do want to investigate Tibetan Spaniels. I hear Oz is full of them.

Gosh, I'm not familiar with the Oreo commercial. Guess I need to watch for it.

Well, the witching hour is upon us. It's 12:28 am here, so 1:28 for you, Ruby. Good luck getting some sleep! I'm going to give it a try now. Good Night!

The roofs (sp) in Oz are a trip. I've never seen a house with a purple or blue roof. As people here use more and morecoated steel I suppose it's just a matter of time.

Nite Julie sleep well, you going to try and sleep too Ruby?
I haven't seen the oreo commercial either.

Good night, Julie. Sleep well.

The little boy and his dad talk on the computers -- they see each other -- half-way around the world.

We can do that on Instant Messenger now Ruby.

It would be nice to sit and eat TimTams with you all and see you on my screen. Oh, well.
I think I'll go try to sleep again. Good night, Broni. I know it's afternoon there. Why don't you take a nap?

What? See each other and talk in real time?

I got the MasterBlaster virus (a bad one) through instant messenger so I have shut that down. You can SEE AND TALK to the person at the same time?

yes on webcam, no naps for me i am working supposedly

Thank you, Broni. I'll be checking this out in the morning. Have a much more cheerful good night!

Hugs for Ruby

RUBY, yes, it is possible to talk just as the boy and his dad talk, real time, see each other on the screen, all the way around the world. It is also possible to do video conferencing, where each erson can see more than one other person on a split screen. One of the computer companies has a More...

it is middle of the night here , I cannot get back to sleep, so here i sit in front of the computer.

SUZY thanks for sending the error message on for me to send on. Gath did see and answer and said it was helpful.

Did i say all this before?? think I am having a senior moment here.

Ten till TOPPS, that is too far, so I am going back to bed, nite nite all!

Hi MizT just popped in for coffee

Hi all, I've had a nice day. Lunch with ex work mates then got my hair done. Sausages and mashed potato/pumpkin for dinner.

Ruby my little pentax digital camera comes with instructions on how to set it up to the computer for video conferencing.

Hi all, our new laptop has a webcam built into the top of the screen... I haven't used it yet, but hubby has played with it. Thinking of using it to tape the girls to email to family in the states (who don't have a webcam)

Convince them to invest in a webcam and then you can 'talk direct' and they will enjoy it so much more.
We have not got one.

Did you get all your stuff done Suzy?

Just had to dob in one of d1s friends. Had to? She was talking big about going to a drinking party at the beach this Sat, and getting around Mum not letting her go by saying she was going to stay at a friend's house. She's 14 and this party is apparently posted on myspace with an open More...

Hope her Mother handles the situation properly and does not dod you in. You did the right thing

Ruby, I like looking at stuff through Google Earth too. Hubby has marked all of our old addresses and favourite landmarks. If you look up Enders Elementary School in Garden Grove, we used to live over their back fence...
