Hey, folks. Maybe I'll make more than 10 posts this week....last week was pretty lousy all the way around.

Uncle, did you get your Dell straightened out? Be aware that Dell is/was notorious for shipping a generic XP install disc with NO drivers....you have to use that service tag # that came with your computer to find/download all the drivers from Dell's site BEFORE you wipe... If you already have this taken care, ignore this ...I didn't feel like reading 25 pages to catch up.

I prefer the Chinese charts.


FYI: "Horse". . .

Didn't figure you guys for big astrologers. I see I wasn't wrong. :) I don't know much about Chinese astrology, but I do know I was born in the year of the monkey, not that it means much to me. I do, however, know quite a bit about my western astrological chart. I am an Aries with both my moon and my rising in Gemini. I had my natal chart done years ago. I think I still have it somewhere.

Okay - Always been interested in Astrology (Remember I'm from the "Age of Aquarius" :facepalm: ) . . . AND - As for knowing "My" natal chart . . . Well truth be known - I am a True, Taurus w/ Sagittarius rising and the majority of planets in Gemini and Cancer . . . Guess that is why I get along so well with some of the fickled & moody people around here . . . Just Sayin' . . .;)

Up and at 'em gang! The world isn't going to come to you!

The hell it isn't! I have the internet and satellite TV!

YEP - DITTO ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ AND - Yes, the Internet really helps . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

To be Honest - NO , I have not taken care of or even attempted to do anything else yet . . . AND - As you stated that' s "My" Problem, as I mentioned in "My" post requesting help - Dell did send the generic XP Install CD w/No Drivers or anything else at all . . . The worse part is, although I have done a "Crash & Burn" before - so that everything can be reinstalled (especially for other people I know and one of "My" older computers) and know what to do, I have gone to Dell's Support site and entered the service tag # for "My" laptop and there are so many different things list there now for the same Item/Drivers - that I am confused and I do not know which ones to download to a CD and use . . . In addition, I know I will have to download all the MS Updates for XP Pro too . . . SO - until I do and can download what I need - the "Crash & Burn" project to make "My" Laptop "Healthy" again will have to wait . . .

Ok, so this 10 million post deal... I'm a little confused on it. Yes, I know the prizes, and how the contest is going down... but if you look at, say Penquinparty's post above mine... the direct link to it says it is post number 10,706,065 which is 700 thousand higher than 10 million?

I assume the discrepancy comes from deleted posts and what not... so... How will they know which post exactly is number 10 million?

3. 9/16- I missed breakfast, lunch will be a big one today! Too hungry to make decisions... terrible time to go grocery shopping.
#4 I'm thinking about going back to bed. But I don't want to miss the 10 million post milestone.

Go back to bed...
You've got hours before we get there...
If everyone doubles their post output, we may get there late this evening. ;-)

Judging by the last 48 hours, the winning post won't be until late tonight or tomorrow morning at the earliest. I don't know how "they" will determine the 10 millionth post, but I'm sure "they" have their ways. I wonder how many threads will be non-stop spam sessions when the time draws closer...

There's a post counter at the bottom of the front page...
Likely the mods are going to have a temporary moratorium on deleting posts after a certain point ;-)
We're a little over 10,000 posts away from 10,000,000 now.
