Yummm...coffee! How kind, Tim!

Good mawnin' Tim, Jodi, and all of TRT!

Strawberries!!! They are all over the place here in the Upstate. I love starwberries....but I don't think strawberry oatmeal sounds too good

Hey Jodi- did you get in touch with Jay? Do we need to send out the National Guard?

BTW...Jeff (Junkzoo) is having puter woes. Got a message from him that his puter got a bug and all he can do is limp along with emails. He said that he may be out til Friday It's the very least I can do to send this out since I had woes a while back.

Lots of love and hugs and peace to everyone!

Looks like a slow hump day today, Tim. I thought I saw Jodi out there, but maybe she was playing peek-a-boo.

Where's our roll book, Tim?

Yardboyyyy?

Morning all!

Hot tea for me please!

Mmmm strawberries - used to take the kids to the berry patch, and I'm glad they didn't weigh my son coming in and going out He could eat his way right through

We used to make jam from Grandma's recipe ... and we had a lot of fun doing it!

Plain old day for me - I have been rearranging some stuff on my sales floor, making old look new again I *think* the cabinet maker is due to come today (or tomorrow?) to start making the big tank look awesome!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Jenn

Mornin' Tim, Cath, Jenn, & All!

Nice Spring day here, with a possible shower, but mild temps. Doesn't matter much to me since I'm going to be inside all day but those that can will have nice weather.

Seems like lots of folks are having 'puter woes' lately. I hear there's a new "Worm" out there that's causing problems, too. Be sure to update your AV software and all the other protection you can layer on.

This is the male of the pair of House Finches that have taken up housekeeping in my backyard trees:



Got to get ready for work now....looooong day ahead.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Dick

Morning everyone,
Just got home from work and about ready to fall over. Havent slept since *onday morning.Got home yesterday morning and was about to go to bed when my two year old daughter developed a new trick of getting up on the counter in the kitchen and proceded to hand over a handfull of medication to my wife. So a call to poison control and she went to the E-room with both my daughters and I calmed my son down (7 years old) and took him to school and then to the hospital. Lexi had to take activated charcoal and was hooked up to a monitor for about 3 hours wich is no simple feat with a two year old while trying to keep a 1 year old happy also. Then when my son got home he told me he had a report do today.
We dont think Lexi ate any of the medication but took no chances. Shes fine, my neves are recovering and my wife feels horribly guilty. It wasnt her fault, she knows, but still feels bad. Lexi pushed a chair over to the counter cllimbed up onto the counter and down to the other end where the meds were. Crap, what a scarry day. All is well and like I said Im ready to fall over.
Hope everyone has an outstanding day.

Robert

Sounds like you're talking about that "sasser" worm, which is similar to the "blaster" worm of last year in that they both take advantage of flaws in Windows to propagate. The good news is that if you simply put a router in between your computer and the internet most of the risk of getting infected by these kinds of worms goes away on its own. The bad news is there are thousands of flaws in Windows that attackers can (and apparently will) use to infect millions of computers.

EDIT: Forgot to say Good Morning.

Mornin' all!

I was playing peek-a-boo this morning. I was running late and just had a minute to peek in before running for the shower.

I've got a busy day here at work and then a ton of stuff to get done tonight.

Cath-I haven't had a chance to call Jay yet this week, but will try as soon as I get a chance.

Robert - that's scary about your daughter, I'm glad that she is doing just fine now.

I think my first order of business today is a trip down the elevators and across the street to Starbucks.

Have a good one!

Jodi

Wow Robert that's scary indeed. I'm glad my kids never "looked up"... they stayed with feet on the floor ... whew.

Glad everybody's ok even if nerves are a bit frayed...

BTW - happy Cinqo de Mayo! Any reason is a good reason for Tequila The restaurant down the mall is having a big party with a Mariachi band Could be a fun evening!

Oh and if you don't have current antivirus software, try Housecall... it's a free online scan http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Cheers,
Jenn

Morning folks;

Ugh, need massive caffeine. I worked 11 hours yesterday and then tossed and turned all night. No rest for the wicked

Robert, glad everything was all right with your daughter. Scary stuff

Jim, I don't know about Strawberries and D.P. but I had strawberries dipped in chocolate.

Have a good one, everybody!
