I lost my Delica once and quit carrying it for that reason. I forgot to say , I found my Delica in the chair I'd been sitting in. It took a few days to find it.

Still it was not that bad if you enjoy pain...which the dentist did...The worst proceedure I had was a crown and bridge installed by a butcher/dentist. ...

That is a nice one. I have always like Mustangs. I used to undercoat the new ones back in "64". I got to drive a few of them. I wanted one but I did not have the cash to get one. Mustangs are nice.

modem problem

Does anyone know why my emachines modem won't dial up my isp? It tries to start to dial but doesn't make it past the initial click and ding. I called my isp and everything is ok at their end. Any suggestions?

I like "tip up" . I carry a Delica all the time. I reach into my right front pocket and pull it out and use my thumb and index finger in the hole and open the knife. I don't really hold the handle , I just use the hole and my thumb and index finger to open it and the handle is in my hand b...

My pc crashed. Froze up. I tried everything and finally put in three of the disks I made when I got the pc. It sounded like a noise like it was running. But I think it was just letting me be able to read what's on the disks? Anyways , I deleted some programs, like Google Picaso and the AOL info bar....

It says "Insert the TrayApp disk and click". I tried a disk but nothing happened. I tried to track it down but I cannot find it anywhere on the pc. I use the ctrl alt delete and click "end now". I will try the msconfig. and see if I can find the origin of it. Thanks.
