Does anyone have a tent (wal-mart variety fine) that we could use Friday Night only, for camping at the Celtic festival in Buffalo?  Doesn't have to be huge, just room for DH and me.  Though 6' high or better would be wonderful, so he doesn't have to stoop!


We have a tent in the garage, buried under DD's stuff from the storage unit....and can't get at it.

A Request

If I've worked on you (massage), made a "concoction" (aromatherapy or otherwise) for you, or if you like my soaps and candles, would you please write a little about it for either my LinkedIn profile or email it to me so I can put it on my website [initials only on the website, but if you're willing to allow office managers or salon/spa owners (aka, "persons of hiring decisions") to email you please say so]. 

Also, I may print a page of rec's with emails to go with my resume -- again, please let me know if your address is NOT to be handed out.

37 years ago, I was involved in a court case.  I'd like to find out how to get hold of the record/transcript/whatever -- I believe there is/was one, b/c Virgina said she saw a stack of papers a foot high that was supposed to be the transcript.

I know what state it was in, not certain of the county; I'm pretty sure of the year, and I know the last name of several people involved.

I'm not sure if it was an actual trial or a "hearing" -- likely the latter, as it was always referred to as such.

I don't recall the Judge's name or if it was "family court" or otherwise.

Any ideas?

Uhm...eek?

I think I need someone to talk me through choosing and downloading a thing to backup my LJ.

If ou are good at this and patient with those unsure of such processes, may I ask for a contact # and good time to call?  comments screened, of course!

ETA:  Ok, I got ljarchive-0.9.7-doc  - SecureZIP xpress, downloaded and unzipped it....now how do I tell it to get LJ entries?  And do I have to tell it EACH entry, or just take it to the first one say "Sic 'em!"?

OK, [livejournal.com profile] shannihilation  talked me through setting up a copy-to-IJ using LJ-SEC; it did NOT copy comments, though, and I still want a backup to an external drive (which I have on hand) WITH comments.....yeah, I'm ARCO, what about it?

All  the OS i've ever had is MSWindows.  ME on the desktop, and XP on this laptop.  I am FAR from a professional, but I've heard Linux is an all-around better system and not hard to get used to.  For a non-pro, is that likely to be true?  

(If it matters, which I doubt, I've been able to load and use Mozilla Firefox, which if I understand correctly is based off a Linux/MS hybrid called "Lindows.")

[personal profile] thebruce, I know you told me earlier that a hard drive has a useful life of about 3 years.  

Anyone:  This one is on borrowed time.  Better to replace the drive and add some memory or just replace the whole shebang and have someone transfer files?

IF Linux is practical for a relative novice, is a Linux OS available on a new system, or is it all Windows Vista now (which again, I've been told is SOS and not in a good way)?  If I still have my XP disk that came with this laptop, can I (practicalities, not permissions) load XP onto the new hard drive?

What am I forgetting to ask?

No good deed goes unpunished.

I let someone use my computer while theirs was down.  
The next day, I noticed that things were running slow and some things seemed just -- not right.  
I did a spyware scan and a virus check (in addition to the regualrly scheduled ones) and looked over recent downloads -- and sure enough, stuff was downloaded from sites I don't use.  I deleted everything I could find and re-ran the checks.

Firefox is messed up, and a lot of the richtext functions in LJ (like loading pictures) aren't working,  

Links work sporadically, and I can only run Firefox if it's the FIRST thing I start after a shutdown or a restart.  Otherwise it won't load at all. 

And the Kodak Easyshare program (which is what takes the pix off my camera), while it will let me email photos to people, will NOT find anything more recent than, say, three weeks ago if I try to upload to LJ, LJ scrapbook, Snapfish....

Well hockeypucks. 

That'll learn me.

It looks like my best bet for Massage Therapy training is going to be in the KC (MO) area.  This is farther than I feel comfortable driving twice a day, two days a week. 

Thus, I'm gonna need crash space or even to rent a sleeping room.

 If it's crash space, I don't want to put anyone out more than necessary so will be trying to rotate regularly. 

I NEED a non-smoking space, pets of any sort (furred, finned, feathered, scaled) are fine, and I'm quiet and keep to myself.  I'd be there a minimum of 2 nights a week, max of 4 (unless weather traps me there) and will take meals elsewhere. 

The course I'm looking at is about a year, so you'd be putting up with me that long.



The way I feel about asking for help, the fact that I'm posting this tells you how serious I am.  I expect my daughter to call me up and faint at me when she sees this.
