Most people can't remember all the things they need to remember, mtp. Get a paper or electronic calendar and to-do list. Use them faithfully and they will serve you well all of your days.

OMG - If I didn't have a list ... nothing would get done and my cats would starve.

My rule is that if I go to a store & need more than 2 things I MUST have a list with me.

That's the thing Dar. I did look it up a month ago and put it in my calendar. I just found the wrong info, Dec 4th is the registration start date for freshmen I guess. I didn't even know they had different registration dates according to your cumulative hours. I have 44hrs so that means I can start on Dec 2. I just didn't find that information anywhere until my friend showed it to me.

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from a mate whose other mate wants to sell a very good mountain bike (Specialized Enduro) quickly for holiday cash. I got in touch and arranged to go see it today. He was asking $500 and internet research reveals that new, this kind of bike goes for around $5,000. Absolute bargain. I was going to buy it.

The bloke called me this morning to tell me he has sold it to someone else.
Now, I am in exactly the same position as I was yesterday - no bike, but have $500. So why am I less happy about it now?

I am going to have to Buddha my way out of this.

Observe, grasshopper, how the attachment to desire is the cause of suffering. And remember, while having a bike is a reality, not having a bike is just a concept.

My daughter's laptop is on the fritz. It's either the system board or the power connector--I'm suspecting both. So the laptop is currently disemboweled on a card table while we wait for new parts to arrive. Bleh.

monster · 12-02-2009, 10:06 PM

zen, email him and tell him you were ready to pay $4,000 for it.

toranokaze · 12-07-2009, 08:54 PM

I can't find my signet ring, I wore the think out and its gone now. I don't remember where I took it off or if it just fell. This is what I get for wearing it at all .

Photobucket has locked me out of my account and trying to force me to pay in order to gain access.It says I have exceeded bandwith and if I want more space I have to pay. I've been trying to find linked photos from photobucket and delete them. It doesn't seem to be working. Damn pirates!

edit
Went to the FAQ section.

I guess it will reset ,,,if people stop looking at them. ?
and at the anniversary day of my original registration.

Why didn't my bandwidth decrease when I removed images from my album?
Bandwidth is not a measure of how many images and videos are in your album. Rather, it is a measure of how many times the media in your album is being viewed from locations on the Internet where you have posted links to your media.
Bandwidth is cumulative over time and does not go down until it is reset. Your bandwidth usage resets to 0 each month on the anniversary of the day that you originally registered.

I think I'll be looking for a different photo sharing site. Any suggestions?

Maybe UT can offer it as a cellar fundraiser?

Sorry, can't help with free sites. Does your provider not allow you some storage space? Lots of People use Flickr -is that a paid service?
