Judy: why is there twin Meeka's Roberto: usually, I have had very few problems, either they work or they don't Meeka: just luckuy rich-c: oh, it would be for resale - the seller is likely honest, dubious about price Judy: how are you doing?

Roberto: have sold some for that Meeka: my arm is ouchie, but ok Roberto: plus shipping Judy: must be you had a shot in it Meeka: yup, about 20 min's ago rich-c: so for the risks it really would have to be about half that, seeing as how I'd have to fetch and test it Roberto: that's about it Richard Judy: you should have come to the beach this week-end it was beautiful weather Roberto: usless the seller will come to you and prove the working of it rich-c: maybe I'll give it a shot - there is software available with it but that's pretty irrelevant these days Roberto: yes, not worth much Judy: did you have a good week-end? rich-c: he ever has an old original Adam modem Roberto: the big thing is people want disk drives Roberto: modem=worthless except for nostagia rich-c: well yes but how willing are they to gamble, and how much rich-c: I do not want to get into the eBay trip Meeka: yup Roberto: the gamble has to be taken out to get a good price Meeka: didnt do a whole lot Meeka: a bit of gardening, a bunch of lasying around rich-c: yes but even if it works real great when you plug it in, will it still work an hour down the line? Judy: we didn't do much either, a lot of sitting around moving from sun to shade and shade to sun Roberto: most will, they owrk or they don't rich-c: Meeka, in edit change your user name to Meeka1, then we can delete the duplicate Roberto: and even the non working may just need a head cleaning Judy: one minute you were hot and the next you were cold, you had to have some sun but not too much Roberto: you would LIKE it to work right off the bat, then you know it is good rich-c: yes, some days you get lucky, some days the fates turn around and bite you Roberto: "some days you are the windshield, some days you are the bug" Meeka: lol rich-c: yes, and I seem to be getting more than my share of splats these days Roberto: <grin>

A FAST LIFE, that's what Pamela: not enough time, Bob - that's why I was late Pamela: what do you mean by tabloid Dad? Judy: Bob is lucky he is here this may be the only night left this week that he is not working rich-c: a newspaper size and shape like the Sun - the big ones are broadsheets Pamela: meaning it's Sun - sized? Roberto: well, nobody has ENOUGH time, but is is all relavent Pamela: ah Meeka: awwww rich-c: I wanted to ask about that, Bob - how are things developing on the job? Pamela: oh well, as I keep telling Ron, sleep is overrated : ) Judy: I have been saying that for a long time Pamela: I can sleep on the weekend Pamela: theoretically that is rich-c: yes, it makes an interesting theory Roberto: job is going good, am going to go for fulltime with Habitat for Humanity next week hopefully, but keep the part time job for awhile longer Judy: I did last week-end, sleep in, sure felt good rich-c: Pam, did Russell get to see the Friday night game? Pamela: afaik Dad - he was watching it when I went to bed so I assume he saw the whole thing Roberto: just have to work slower so's I don't get tired too quickly Judy: how is Russell's job search coming? Pamela: slow Judy rich-c: it was a really terrific game - glad he got to see it Judy: we know that feeling Pamela: the only one he missed was the Sunday game Dad rich-c: in fact all four games at least had satisfactory results Pamela: oh Judy, there are TWO Snowbabies items coming up in Avon for Christmas Pamela: brb rich-c: wait a minute; Friday was the BC game then, Sunday the Winnipeg/Sak real thriller Pamela: sorru rich-c: Bob, if you're fulltime with Habitat, isn't it likely you'll be doing some travelling? Judy: maybe I will have to check them out, even though I have sooo many Pamela: (I mean sorry) Pamela: had to go get the "What's New" Roberto: nope, just here in western Michigan FredK: yes sorru mean sorry in yapanese! -Not :) rich-c: when they find out how good you are, they may want you to roam about a bit Roberto: although.....travel might be nice once in a while Pamela: as long as you could take Judy with you : ) Roberto: si senora Pamela: Judy, in the Canadian brochure they're coming out with a musical figurine called " Pamela: Skating with Friends" rich-c: given your talents I suspect you may find yourself shipped around a fair bit, sooner or later Judy: that sounds cool Roberto: long as they aren't the new painted snow babies Judy: now and then I have a book left at the house rich-c: Judy, how are the lessons coming? you should be close to finished, surely? Pamela: Snowbaby and a penguin and a fir tree on an "ice" rink Pamela: but it doesn't say what it plays Judy: what is the price? Pamela: I don't know if this one will be available in the US or not - if you want it all you have to do is let me know Pamela: $29.99 when it comes out, then up to $34.99 Judy: I will watch for it on ebay, get them much cheaper than regular price rich-c: Fred, did you notice Molson have come out with a Rickard's White? Pamela: it caught my eye this morning when I was going thru the flyer FredK: I heard about that but havent seen it yet. Judy: most of the time I get them for half price or less FredK: I like the rickards Red very much, I first had it in Vancouver and loved it! Pamela: I tell you these Avon brochures are deadly things rich-c: seems its new, don't know if it's even issued in Quebec yet rich-c: gather it's very gently flavoured with orange peel and coriander, just barely discernable according to the report Pamela: coriander? in a beer? hmmm : ( rich-c: in fact, check on thestar.com, it's in the Living section today FredK: hmmm what section will it be in tomorrow :) rich-c: that Leff I had in Hull was clove flavoured, Pam, and very nice indeed Pamela: clove I can see, but coriander? It's one of the spices in curry Judy: I haven't had an Avon lady in a long time, she used to take orders but you never got the merchandise so I stopped ordering

changed username to Guy B. rich-c: well, I could be wrong - I am more a dark beer type (though the St. Urbain's white goes down very well) Pamela: I used to sell Avon, but gave it up as a bad job - I had the opposite problem in that I would deliver, but people wouldn't pay me, so it was costing me money Guy B.: Greetings from Chicagp. Watching the Cubs Judy: Hi, Guy rich-c: they are doing well this season, Guy Meeka: hello Pamela: shortly after that, Russell's cousin took it up as a supervisor so I shill for her, don't have to do any of the work but get a "helpers" discount and other perks, Judy: I sold Avon when I was in high school didn't make any money at it either Guy B.: We are hanging on by a 1/2 game from the Brewers Pamela: including the what's new flyer which shows whats coming two flyers from now FredK: Hi Guy Guy B.: HI Fred Pamela: Hi, Guy rich-c: tonight I'm still making up my mind between St. Urbains, St. Ambriose Biere Noir, and a can of Hockley Valley Dark Guy B.: I have Annie besides me. Her 2nd birthday is two weeks from tomorrow. Pamela: Robyn, R's cousin, is one of those people who always jumps into these things and makes a business out of them - she doesn't do any selling herself, but her helpers are spread out all over the city rich-c: that's nice, Guy - guess she's fully grown now Pamela: we give her the orders, she puts them together, collects the money, takes the merchandise and delivers it to us Pamela: wow, already Guy? Pamela: it's a great system for everyone Roberto: xounds like she has the BEST deal Judy: sounds like a good deal for her Pamela: every time I move jobs, I increase her client base : ) Pamela: no she does all the work - we have the easy part Roberto: but she doesn't have to sell Guy B.: She got a birthday card from the pet insurance company. It's really cute. Pamela: neither do I - all I do is hand out brochures and take the orders. I do no selling at all. Pamela: Good for you that you have pet insurance on her Guy Pamela: if we ever have a pet again, we will probably do the same FredK: never heard of it. rich-c: having a hard time - too warm with my sweater on and too cool with it off Pamela: it's just like health insurance Fred - you pay premiums monthly and if your pet requires vet care, the insurance pays a goodly portion of it FredK: cool Pamela: allows you to make decisions you might not otherwise be able to make Pamela: like taking a more expensive course of treatment Judy: we have the air conditioning on is hot again here Pamela: we're supposed to get hot tomorrow rich-c: we are having it quite cool today, though we arde to have a real heaat wave on Friday Pamela: I'll probably turn on the A/C before I leave in the morning Roberto: 90 degrees here today and humid, 85 and humid tomorrow and then on Fri also Roberto: could cool off some for my way of thinking Meeka: mine too Guy B.: I took an option to cover her routine shots. So, I get a portion of that back, plus $15 each for her flea prevention and heartworm preventative medicine. Pamela: we're supposed to go up to 31 on Friday, plus humidex - ick and double ick Meeka: humidity sucks rich-c: check the weather website first Pam, you may be able to do without it till you get hoem Pamela: ya got that right Meeka Guy B.: And we have a mosquito invasion here from all that rain last month FredK: :) Roberto: yes, tis the humidity that kills you .......you can stand lots of heat if it is dry Pamela: problem is Dad, if I leave it till I get home, it'll be hot in here already and impossible to cool down enough to be comfortable rich-c: we are coming off the driest summer in the pst 50 years Pamela: oh charming, Guy Pamela: hmm, note to self: find the duct tape Guy B.: I've already got a few bites Pamela: dry in terms of rainfall Dad, not of humidity FredK: yes my grass is burnt, lets say I didnt get around to water it properly. rich-c: well Pam you do have to know how far it will heat up and when - that's where the weather office is so good Judy: we have been really dry this summer also and one of the hottest, we had a lot of 90 degree days Roberto: normal is like 10 HOT days, we had about 20 rich-c: oddly enough, I read the statistics, but somehow didn't feel that hot - or dry Pamela: Dad, if I don't turn on the A/C before I leave, the living room will be up at 29 or 30 degrees by the time I get home and there's no way I'll be able to cool it off enough Pamela: you have to remember we're on the 5th floor with nothing to shade us from the afternoon sun, which we'll get from about 3:00 onward Judy: we have had the A/C on the last 2 days rich-c: I hear you, Pam - but not if the temperature doesn't get above say 24 during the day Roberto: keep the setting a little high Pam, it will be dry and feel lots cooler and will cool down quicker when you turn it down further rich-c: remember it cools strongly during the evening now and evening comes early - we're just over two weeks from the equinox Pamela: 24 outside can often mean 3-4 degrees warmer inside Roberto: we run at about 80 degrees F and then use fans to move it around Meeka: ya, we typically do too dad Pamela: even now, it's warmer in the LR than anywhere else Pamela: I have the fan running in the window, blowing cooler air in Pamela: and it certainly wasn't that warm today Pamela: it's nice back here in the computer room though rich-c: on the other hand, as you noted I'm complaining about the cool, and I'm in the computer room which is hot FredK: :) Pamela: well anytime you want to come over here and defrost, Dad . . . : ) rich-c: we will likely have the exhaust fan on overnight, but maybe we won't need it Pamela: it would be great if the wind would come up but it always seems to die with the sun Pamela: hence, no breeze to blow through rich-c: we have used our air conditioner very little this summer, and hardly overnight at all Pamela: which reminds me, brb rich-c: Judy, you didn't tell us about your studies Pamela: sorry, had to open the shower curtain Pamela: yes Judy, didn't you have a test this week? FredK: Meganne started school this year, oh yes! the clothes, I gotta go do some boring stuff before I go to bed early because of horrendeous traffic! FredK: Good nite everyone! Pamela: gnite Fred rich-c: nite Fred - a la prochaine Pamela: I got a late start yesterday and was stunned when I got to the GO parking lot at 8:10 and it was still half empty yesterday FredK: bye!
FredK left chat session Pamela: I though it would be packed by 7:20 rich-c: yes, school opening day brings out very heavy traffic early Pamela: the TTC lots are always horrible during the week of Labour Day Pamela: I thought the GO lot would be the same rich-c: right, especially since after a soft summer the trauma of 401 commuting doesn't bear thinking about Pamela: I don't do the 401 Pamela: ever rich-c: well, let's say I still use it, but I pick my spots Judy: no, it is next week Monday, have been spending as much time as I can with HIPAA Judy: I have the week off and then next week I start my last class rich-c: how long till you finish up now, Judy? should be soon Pamela: well, let's not say never - on Saturday and Sunday mornings, early, or late at nite Judy: 4 more weeks and then a couple of exams to finish up rich-c: there are other slots available, Pam, but you need to know where to look and when

BobS: the idea is that you learn it.............HA Judy: some, yes Meeka: brb, i need a drink Judy: and that memorizing doesn't work so good!!! Pamela: OH! I ran into the Wicks, all four of them, at the Ex on Friday Judy: am trying to memorize dates right now are about 12 of them rich-c: really - what did they have to say? Pamela: we had a grand old time together for an hour or so Pamela: happy and healthy Pamela: it's the memorizing that twigged me Pamela: it looks like Jeffrey has a photographic memory BobS: THAT would be a GOOD thing, no ?????? rich-c: good at remembering stuff, is he? Pamela: or at least near-perfect recall Pamela: we were in the Arts Crafts and Hobbies building, at a booth that sells homemade lollipops. rich-c: he'll likely outgrow it, as kids do, but while it lasts it is great to have Judy: Ryan was helping me this afternoon, he thought is was great that Gram needed help Meeka: b Pamela: Jillian went through all the flavours once, pointing out which baskets each flavour was in, (they had labels) rich-c: yes, the kids get such a charge out of things like that Pamela: and Jeffrey went to a different wall, where the baskets were in a different order, and pointed out what he wanted Pamela: he was able to memorize the shape of the word rich-c: good for him Pamela: and the word was pina colada Judy: he was probably picking out by color Pamela: that's what I thought too, but there were multiple flavours in the same colours Pamela: He did it at another booth too. I asked Jillian if he had read it, and she said no, he had memorized it when she pointed it out the first time Pamela: That kid is such a doll

rich-c confirmed ban Judy: 't as full as ours Guy B.: Ok, I'm back. Lost the signal on the wireless Pamela: are you back on wireless then Guy, or land line?
BobS confirmed ban Guy B.: Wireless. My phone line is still messed up. Phone doesn't ring. rich-c: I'm tempted to go wireless - our place looks like a spaghetti factory Meeka: wireless is great Pamela: familiar with that concept, believe me Pamela: it was so nice to have it in the hotel in Ottawa BobS: do it Richard, it is GREAT, and you can use 128 bit encrytion Judy: yes, it is Meeka: although it can lead to some side effects BobS: so you are safe from others Meeka: puters tend to take bathroom breaks too :P LOL rich-c: but I would have security concerns, and I am suspicious of delays using encryption Guy B.: I can dial out, here the dial tone, DSL is fine. Already tried two cordless phones, both did not ring either. So, it's the line rich-c: who do you have, AT&TT Hear they're as bad as Bell BobS: encryption doesn't slow it a bit and it is safe becasue I set the numbers Pamela: all I can say is thank goodness for cell phones, what with dialup computers and cut phone lines rich-c: in computers, I don't trust anything that adds an extra step not to go wrong, Bob BobS: AT&T is bell here BobS: same people, just different building and they don't want to talk to each other rich-c: more to the point, same attitudes - never outgrew the monopoly Pamela: I wish I could find a decent alternative to Bell rich-c: don't we all Pamela: we're down to two working phone jacks around here, and Bell won't fix them without charging $90 or $8 a month rich-c: but the "competitors" are people like Rogers and they are as bad if not worse Pamela: according to them they're inside the apartment so they're our property (despite the fact that we don't own the property) rich-c: yes, Pam, but it also means you can do with them whatever you damn well please - like triple the number Pamela: and the fact that the lines inside the walls are, oh, 45 years old or so rich-c: that's OK, the old phone wires seem to last a fw days longer than forever Pamela: I'm also not impressed that they've gone to a foreign call centre rich-c: and if you can find where the interface is, you can run whatever you want from it Pamela: when we had the outage a couple of weeks ago, I called repair to ask if it was reported and the guy I talked to had an accent so thick, and spoke so fast, that I couldn't understand him rich-c: what's the matter, is your Urdu slipping? Pamela: more like my Hindi, I think rich-c: India is where most of the call centres are, but the Bell telephone spammers seem to have more Pakistani accents Pamela: and to top it off, I was on my cell phone, making reception just that much worse Pamela: oh this wasn't a spammer, I called Bell repair rich-c: that's ok, they can't talk English or understand you anyway BobS: probably true rich-c: guess they use the same mob - or same lines - for everything BobS: sure,the old a&t lines Pamela: that's okay, I got Mark from the Widows and Orphans Fund yesterday rich-c: oh, this bunch, Bob, it's enough to make you want to crawl through the line and strangle them with it Pamela: widows and orphans of whom, I'm not quite sure Pamela: I can't wait for the permanent do not call list to go into effect rich-c: Igenerally get ugly enough with callers like that that they do not want to talk to me again rich-c: I can often reduce the females to tears but the males just hang up - cowards Pamela: I simply tell them I'm not interested, to take the number off their lists, and not to call here again. Then I hang up. Pamela: Short, simple and to the point. rich-c: I know, but I don't need to be nice about it - and I'm not Pamela: I don't blame the callers, they're only doing a job. It's not fair to take it out on them. However, I make it clear to them that they are not to call back. Pamela: I've been going around with the post office too rich-c: my view is that if I can get enough to quit in tears the word will get around and they won't be able to find any more to work at it BobS: say I am not interested Thank you THEN HANG UP Pamela: There will always be someone to take their place, unfortunately. You couldn't pay me enough to do that job, I'd rather scrub toilets. Judy: that is what I did today in fact rich-c: I'm not going to thank them for making me grab my cane and hobble the length of the house to listen to their speil Meeka: well, i think its time for me to head to bed Meeka: ttyl :) Pamela: nite Meeka Pamela: take care BobS: nite meeka Judy: I didn't call them so I don't have to wait until they decide that I don't want whatever they are selling rich-c: nite Meeka - take care there - and keep us posted on your man Judy: night meeka Pamela: I don't know what the laws are in the US Bob, but here telephone solicitors must comply by law if you tell them to take your number off their list and not to call back. Pamela: it usually buys you three years or so of peace, but of course other companies fill in the blanks so you're never left totally alone. rich-c: here they just call from outside the country and thumb their noses at you - like Bell Pamela: there have been so many complaints that the government has created a permanent do not call list which is supposed to go into effect soon rich-c: I'm getting harassed by Sympatico pedlars every day Judy: we have the list also but is doesn't work with a company you are working with, like a charge card company Pamela: and the key of course is that you have to be able to catch them rich-c: and if you think Bell is going to listen to a complain, let alone help, you're dreaming BobS: AND it doesn't work for charities, and on and on.........but it killed most of our calls rich-c: lately we have telephone phishing - really dangerous Pamela: ?? what kind of phishing? rich-c: I've been on the Canadian Marketing Assn voluntary do not call list for years - it keeps the honest types away rich-c: they pretend to be selling credit cards, but what they want is your current card number Pamela: I just wish the CRTC would grow a spine rich-c: with Harper in charge? he likely owns a dozen call centres hmself through some front or other BobS: oops, the fox in charge of the henhouse????? BobS: bummer deal Pamela: you would think with all the airtime these scams have gotten, that people would know by now not to give out any information over the phone Pamela: but people still do it rich-c: hell, they still respond to Nigerian letters on the internet! Pamela: yeah, those too Pamela: someone's always trying to get something for nothing BobS: THAT is the crazy part, people still respond to Nigeria and surrounding countries rich-c: we are now only getting about 30 spams a day Pamela: our mail traffic is down recently too Pamela: not complaining that's for sure Pamela: seems that many of the spams come through on Sunday and Tuesday nights for some reason rich-c: well they did nail one of the biggest spammers recently Pamela: Hallelujah! rich-c: oh, our weekends tend to be quiet Pamela: fax spamming has become common too rich-c: that is againt the law here, and I've heard they will prosecute BobS: fax spam comes all the time IF you have a fax machine online rich-c: among other reasons, because you have hard copy evidence Pamela: we have rightfax numbers at work, which brings faxes right to the desktop and into e-mail, and for every one legit fax I get, I get thirty spam rich-c: I suspect the company could do something about that if they were so inclined BobS: that sucks BobS: A FREE VACATION !!!!!! how can you resist rich-c: yes, but teh culprits are easy to track down, and it's a separate legal offence BobS: OR for only $99 rich-c: yes - just give youir credit card number, to cover the taxes... Guy B.: Well folks, I'm going to go.
