LOL, I certainly never made the claim I'm knowledgeable...I'm
pretty dumb actually but somehow manage to solve most problems I
come across simply because I'm persistent and don't give up. I
guess I have /some/ smarts though because I often come up with
solutions that other people don't think of.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time BD mis-represented someone or
something. He's bad about doing that.

I most certainly did not intentionally misrepresent Philo - he's been
one of my Facebook friends for MANY years.

Did you know that because he spent so much time kneeling in front of
computers - praying for them to work properly again - he had to have
both of his knees replaced some years ago? He made a good recovery.

I apologize if I seemed to be insulting you, btw.

It's right and proper that you have apologized. Philo is another of
life's 'good guys' - you should endeavor to be more like him, Dustin.




Thanks but I wrecked my knees from jogging when I was younger not from
doing computer work.

I stopped jogging when I was 40 but the damage was done.

The comp that had (!) Mint on it now has a fresh copy of Win7 ,

I think some of my problems come from marginal quality RAM , will soon

BTW: When I mentioned somewhere that my computer experience goes

While not entirely wrong on his part, we're certainly not even close

It's that auto-update and reboot thing.
I had to use Policy Editor to get the machine to do what I wanted

Win7 had a simple and logical update procedure.

Hmm. You aren't using windows 10 home then.. eh? Even with policy

Short of enterprise versions, they *should* hold then. I'd hate to

For $2 I did not even try to get a refund I just threw the stick

Well one day I was bragging about my job as Senior Service Engineer at
Enersys-Delaware. He came back and said my job was equivalent to
spittoon cleaner in a whore house.


I could have argued with him but decided to tell the truth and just
announce, "Well, my job is not /that/ good actually.

That did shut him up and he really never picked on me again...at least
not much.

I just LOVED the "I saw"!




There used to be a hardware store at that location.

That was exactly what I had suspected.

When it closed and was converted into a restaurant, they decided to
keep the sign that was a huge saw, they just changed the name of course.

A clever idea!

I bet most of the young patrons don't even know that it used to be a
hardware store....

Indeed. I'm sure you are right about that.
I think you might say "ironmongers" though

We'd more often than not say Hardware SHOP - but we do also understand
'Ironmongers'! ;-)

You have no doubt watched this clip befo-

She is not rich, the money she made from her first movie was
immediately put into her second.

And you wrote that you didn't think I understood humour. Cute.

It's had the latest updates applied (but not Creator) and all
Policy changes have stayed as they were.

So far, so good then.

Thanks for not letting me down, Philo! :-)

There's another great sketch you'd enjoy. I'll make a new post so that
other folk can enjoy it too!

Cheers!

While I appreciate the effort to excuse your wiseass remark, it was
still unfounded. Not only was your comment a wiseass one, it is
incorrect, as well.

There was no call for your snide remark. And, just so we're clear,
I'm not the only one who didn't buy BD's bull**** claim and your lame
excuse attempting to cover for him, either.

Message-ID:
Yea, right. It's British humour, right?

Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.
