Barry,

 DS>   At least I'm not the only one waiting on it. But, as noted in
 DS> another post, I may be able to get that money in my bank account
 DS> by the end of the day (I sure hope so).

 BM> It would be nice!

  It's a good thing it made it in...I had to fork out $250 for water
damage in the bathrooms (see previous post).

 BM> BTW, received my State refund on the 18th.

  They extended the tax deadline for Arkansas to May 17, the same as
the Federal one.

 DS>   Right now, I can't even afford the fee for the appointment.
 DS> But, if that settlement from Geico (such as it is) arrives, that
 DS> will help.

 BM> You need more accidents like that for an income!!

  Not if the outgo far exceeds the income. :P

 BM> Yesterday here was nice but chilly: in the low 50's, a slight breeze.
 BM> Definitely wear a warmer jacket.  In the shade wasn't bad but nicer in
 BM> the Sun.

  Rain and storms return Monday night into Tuesday, and Wednesday night into
Friday. So that means downtime for lightning.

 BM> Next to?!  Should be at! We're not wasting precious computer time to
 BM> roll the chair over to the urinal!

  Or, why is it even needed?? Your pants are down on the throne anyway. :P

 BM> So far mine is also good: compared to last year's paying about a dollar
 BM> more for two of the three medications (the third one is "free") but
 BM> only about half the monthly policy cost.  ...Ended up I broke about
 BM> even as the supplemental (Part G) went up a hare more than what I saved
 BM> on the prescription plan.

  I changed my plan to Allwell Arkansas HMO, as I didn't have vision or
dental insurance. Replacing one chipped tooth on the lower denture cost
me $120.

 BM> If knew before would take all the surprise out of Life!

  I've had too many bad surprises...I'm long overdue for good ones.

 BM> That's an advantage!  ...As long as the alarm doesn't go off!  Mine has
 BM> a built-in alarm -- dealer was doing something years ago and managed to
 BM> set the alarm off.  (My alarm is a whistle-siren, not the horn honk.)

  Good point. I'd have to check that.

 BM> Possibly!  I have had some quirky problems with my mouse and keyboard
 BM> -- good news is rarely.  (I run Ubuntu - Linux here.)  Probably related
 BM> to the problem when inserting a USB device (direct or via a hub) the
 BM> system might lock. Seems to be an issue with the Southbridge stuff on
 BM> the motherboard.  Anyway, occasionally the mouse will die.  First few
 BM> times I thought I had accidentally kicked the cable hanging from under
 BM> the desk -- there are extension cables due to the distance from the
 BM> computer so I thought a had loosened at the connector -- unplug,
 BM> replug, all set. Once that trick didn't work, for whatever reason I
 BM> didn't want to reboot (I probably left a project up overnight), so
 BM> added another extension cable and that solved the problem.  So yes,
 BM> three USB extension cables for two devices (mouse and keyboard).

  The way the 6 dots come up in a circle from the bottom at Windows
startup, circle around, then go back down to the bottom...it looks like
a variation of triple 6.

 BM> ... "You shouldn't violate the law because that's illegal."
 DS>   Congress is above that. :P Besides, that's what a group of
 DS> baboons is.

 BM> Some how that seems appropriate, except to the baboons!

  And, the animal baboons don't know any better.

Daryl
