    Pat, are her 02 levels lower now than when she smoked? How often and when is the last time y'all had her levels checked? Not being nosy, just concerned :)

    And likely nothing bad ever will happen. You and I are small fish in a big ocean. The bad guys out there spend most of their efforts 'testing' the security of govs, banks, Wall Street, power grids, global corps., etc. I just don't like to leave my front door open - even if just a crack.

    Then yours ain't too smart now are they? If'n they can't see you, and they can't hear you, just how smart can they be? :D So I guess now we have 'dumb' TVs, 'smart' TVs, and 'not-so-smart, smart' TVs? :lol:

    No way, no how! You said it just right, and I didn't take it the wrong way. Decisions like this are highly personal, and I truly understand that - no matter which way your Bride decides to go! I pray for the best outcome for you both!

    Kaezz, Y'all please don't stop trying anything and everything! IMHO, it is worth it! When my Dad first found out he had colon cancer, he said "No chemo, no radiation, no nothing! It is what it is." After we talked him out of that mindset, we were blessed with an additional 7 years with him...

    Plenty of them out there that aren't "smart", they're just TVs with some extra connections like HDMI and USB. In addition, a "smart" TV has: Camera Microphone Physical network port (ethernet) WiFi and, just like a computer, they also have: RAM, pre-installed apps, and most importantly...

    When I said 'dumb' TV, didn't mean a CRT. IMO, (dumb) flatscreen LED TVs are fine... OLEDs are even better - as long as they don't have a camera, mic, and direct WiFi connection.

    My daughter and her roomie put in for a 'smart' TV for their dorm room, so they could hook it directly to the school's WiFi and watch Netflix, etc. Both I and KayKay's Dad said "NO!" A camera and mic in your dorm room? Directly hooked up to a University network? With umpteen Computer Science...

    If someone gave me a 'smart' TV, I'd sell it on Craigslist and buy me a bigger 'dumb' one!

    Huh? :confused: Oh, I don't dislike the internet in general... not at all. And I'm far from a pessimistic, glass half-empty, kinda guy. And I don't consider being prudent as being paralyzed. BUT... the internet is a reflection of humanity - ya got the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (wish I could...

    Sorry, but... Too late. It's out there now. There may be a way to scrub that info, but not that I now of.... Just like I've told (hammered into) my kids - Once it's on the internet, it's always and forever on the internet. Some things you can ~think~ you deleted, but it's archived...

    Let's talk about it then :) a DNA TXT?, not sure what that is, can you explain?... and Dave is right, you don't own @2legsshrt.com so we need to sort that out too. You don't have to fill in the part about Domain, Web hosting, etc. if you don't want to... just skip that part. If you do want to...

    A short primer on how Southerners pronounce words: Naked [NAY-ked] - When you don't have on any clothes. Nekkid [NECK-kid] - When you don't have on any clothes, and you're up to something. :w00t:

    When I see/hear BD (or beady), I can't help but think of the BD5, a micro airplane invented by Jim Bede. I saw the author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull fly a BD5-J (jet version) at an airshow back in the '70s... awesome!: All that plane needs now is some green paint and the word 'Lime' on it...

    Just got home with my daughters car, which quit on her -- and left her on the side of an interstate hwy. -- two Sundays ago on the way back to college. She was only 45 min. from school, so thankfully her roomie came and picked her up. My son and I went and trailered the car back the next day...
