Mike Kaiser, can I have a word with you?

10 years ago

Good morning.

I did it , Mike . It went in easily because she had her wifi username and password ready for me.

I thank you for you're patience. You discerned from the "Zimbra incident "

In the spring I'm not that easy to teach. Soooo many questions.

I look forward to moving on to hdmi cable and a flat screen for her or I think I can use the extra RCA cables instead. I'm not sure.

What should we tackle next? Ha ha ha.

I feel great!!!

I'm glad to hear that everything worked out for you and your friend. I told you it wasn't that complicated!

When she gets around to buying that new TV, the old RCA cables will go into the box next to the rotary phone. ;-) Just so you know, don't spend a lot of money on cables. The store would love to sell you a $30 (or more) HDMI cable when you can find them for under $10. I picked up a bag of 3 HDMI cables for $9.99. They work just fine!

Mike is correct regarding the HDMI cables. Consumer Reports published that for the general viewer HDMI cables are pretty much equal. The only warning was advise to stay away from those offered at dollar stores.

Joyce, I was just thinking of Mike yesterday, and that he hadn't posted in a while! Yeah Mike, how are you doing? You must be awfully busy with home, pups and work. Also, thanks for the MD card! Just stay safe and healthy!

Do you have to SPELL words in front of your dog?
Q
Comments (17)
Dogs pick up and key on body position and slight movements. When many people form habits, they also adopt movements that predede those habits. Subtle body movements are an integral part of dog to dog communication. It is totally natural for dogs to sense an action from their humans action. And time of day can also be important. Example: I have a recliner. If I collapse the foot rest in the afternoon between about 4PM to 6PM, both dogs jump up in anticipation of being fed. They used to jump and run to their places. But, they have learned I may not be going to feed them. So, they just jump up, ready if I give the indication I am going to feed them. Which is simply that I now look at one of them. The look signals the dog at which I look that I am going to feed. That dog's action triggers the other one. If I don't look at either one, they lay back down before I even get out of the chair.

More Words I Have Looked Up - Part 2
Q
Comments (56)
* The mantle of Mrs. Grundy - a figurative name for an extremely conventional person who worries about being different * The Grand Guignol - a Parisian theater that opened in 1897 * The "qui vive" of expectation - Que vive? Is a question: Who goes there? To be on the alert, suspicious. * Carlyle on the Dutch (who was who and who did what?) - Carlyle was Scottish writer/philosopher in nineteenth century who wrote social/political criticism. Not sure about the Dutch reference. Any ideas? * Cassandra could have looked more gloomily prophetic - Cassandra was the royal daughter at the time of the Trojan War. She rejected ApolloÃ¢ÂÂs advances and in retaliation, he made it so no one would believe what she said. (Perhaps Ã¢ÂÂgloomily prophecticÃ¢ÂÂ due to this?) * A veritable colossus of negation - Ã¢ÂÂcolossusÃ¢ÂÂ was a huge ancient statue on the Greek island of Rhodes, so perhaps this refers to how immovable negativity is when people espouse it strongly * Fox (re: pity?) - not sure about this one. * Bib and tucker (clothing) - refers to oneÃ¢ÂÂs best clothes; first used in 18th century. Ã¢ÂÂBibsÃ¢ÂÂ were similar to current day baby bibs, except these were worn by adults over their clothes (mostly women). Made of lace and fitted over the bodice; sometimes called Ã¢ÂÂpinnersÃ¢ÂÂ or Ã¢ÂÂmodesty piecesÃ¢ÂÂ. Ã¢ÂÂTuckerÃ¢ÂÂ were bibs that were tucked in. (Pinners/Bibs were pinned and tuckers were tucked.) Linked with Ã¢ÂÂpinaforeÃ¢ÂÂ, Ã¢ÂÂpin-a-foreÃ¢ÂÂ: a pin/bib thatÃ¢ÂÂs pinned on the front of clothing. (Taken from Patricia Brent, Spinster - Herbert Jenkins.)

Open Word...select Envelopes + Labels...click on Labels > Options > Label Vendors [should give you a long list of vendors in addition to Avery] and then select what Avery program or label size you want. There are many, many Avery options. That should give you everything you need. All you'll have to do is actually supply the correct # Avery label for printing. There should be no need to download an Avery program but it's an available option if you can't find the label # you need. I haven't done it in a long time so I can't attest to its success...but I have done it in the past. Today...the Avery options listed in Word are so complete that it's not really necessary to download any Avery program directly.

Ellie,

Now that this appears to be all over you may consider tagging your other threads to this one. A chat format using multiple threads can leave members in the lurch as to prior content. Keeping information on a single thread helps members to both assist and learn faster. When the thread pops up to the top members will know there is new content. If the thread has faded down and responses are not presented in what you feel is a reasonable time you can always "bump" it up again.

Note: July 28, 2012. As one can see if they read this post I was brilliant when I made the final connection between a blu-ray player with wifi, an old television and a wifi system already in place. I started on July 2, asking the question if I could connect a blu-ray player to an old television. This post continued on to its final posting site to explain how to connect a new blu-ray DVD player to a 13 year old television. It is a great lesson and worth reading.

The site is called reccomendation for DVD Player to Old Television

It is last dated July 28, 2012.

As a novice I unabashedly asked some questions over and finally I HEARD the answer. That's the way it goes when learning from scratch at any age.

It also shows the power and the generosity of the Computer Help forum.

I give my final results here on July 28, 2012 with a shout out called Mike Kaiser, can I have a word with you. Yes I was successful but so was Mike who kept me going over and over again with his instructions and visual aids from the actual DVD I was planning on buying and Zep who gave me a good chart that everyone should take to Best Buy if they tell you it can't be done. Damcoy started me with his encouragement to not linger with old technology and Grandms as always looked in on my progress.
