Hi, I'm back on with my computer on it's last legs. Hubby found some blank spots and did something to eliminate those, he say's it's like a bad scratch on an old record, it skips , like playing a song. Anyway I will do ketchup tomorrow. Hubby says it's time. My computer is over 5 years old, (ancient in computer, years)....hey that's just like a dog....6 years for one year of life. Hubby wanted to know, if anyone thinks, a desk top computer , is better an HP or a Dell. If anyone has any experience with either system, please let me know.:):):)

At least for the moment, I have had very good luck with my HP.

I have had both and no problems with either. But last year I bit the bullet and splurged on a Mac!! Never going back. The Mac is wonderful!

Honestly, in brands like HP and Dell. You pay what you get.

So the cheaper they are, the more unreliable they will be.
I always bought Dell XPS laptops for example.. and never had issues and lasted me for years.

For desktops I usually prefer to just build my own.

Gotta say, I'm a fan of Dell Laptops. My brother had one, and we didn't pay very much for it, but it lasted him four years. He's got another Dell now. I periodically get it and clean it up for him. It's a nice machine.

HP...we've had some bad experiences with them.

My current laptop is a Lenovo. It's almost three years old. I did have to get it an external wireless adapter because the internet would cut out on me. Much better now. That's the kind of thing I expect on a machine that age. And the other issue is that the screws like to pop out and I have to screw them back in. If that's my worst issue, though, I'm pretty fortunate.

I went to the hurricane relief drop off location near me today and some items were added to the list. Bug repellent I get but who would have thought about snake bite kits. Canned food and manual can openers were also added. Some very nice person brought in a couple of cases of bleach. It was nice to see a very large pile today:joyfull: but i know it won't put a dent in the situation.:(

Anytime a friend or family dies in their sleep the first question of course is what did they die from. I guess the heart just has so many beats, and his beat for the last time. Barry did have a lot of health problems, and I haven't actually seen him in a very long time. However, he had a very active Facebook page, and I followed his page regularly. If he wasn't talking sports/baseball, he was leaving video links to all his favorite tunes. Many people besides me, I am sure, will miss him a lot.

Yeah, I still don't know what my dad died from. I guess that's the thing...we expect it when someone has been sick, but not when they have been healthy, or we didn't KNOW if they were sick. It's so hard when it comes out of the blue like that. I'm so sorry.

Doing a happy dance!! One of the bullies has been expelled! Now..I DO have a question...what did he have to do to accomplish this feat? He was a kid from the other school...they have been at this school for 6 weeks and he's already gone. In the past several years, my son has been kicked, pushed down, pushed off the top of a slide, slammed against a wall, spit on, snapped with a towel, tripped, had a ball kicked at him repeatedly as hard as possible, and various other infractions and none of those kids were ever even disciplined much less expelled. So, as my husband says "Where's the body?" because he must have murdered someone to get kicked out in 6 weeks!!

Edit: I realize I knew a bully had been expelled, but until today, we weren't sure if it was one of DS's bullies, but DS was told today that this particular kid was not coming back to school, that they were looking for another school for him and then an email was sent to all the parents in his class saying this kid is absent until they find him a new situation. So it was confirmed that it was this kid, and it's just a HUGE relief!!!
