Beth asked me to let you all know that she had to put her laptop in for repair today, so she will be "computerless" for a while. What a bug**r! (Beth didn't say that bit...I did)
Cheers.

Jules, I hope it doesn't take too long to repair as well.... Computer withdrawal symptoms are most unpleasant!
Yes Jules...I'll be there
Spicks and specks is one of my favourite shows...just love it!! I think I will go into mourning when it finishes at the end of this season

I hope Beth doesn't have to wait too long to get her computer back. As you say those withdrawal symptoms are ruthless.

It makes me recall where I was and what and who I saw in the 60's in Melbourne - and early 70's - (spiks n specks) - but that is why we have so many channels, something for just about everyone. Dreary old world if we all liked the same thing.

I can still remember how I felt when I couldn't get the internet between home and Canberra - thank goodness I have a new provider and so far have had no problems this trip.

Spicks and specks is such a wonderful forum for bringing amazingly diverse people together. I loved the crazy musical interretations etc. Hey I would never gave heard of the kranzky Sisters. I will be so sad to see it go.

hate to admit it but I was thinking along the same lines, also thought it will be nice and quite for a while, computer tech's usually take about 4 weeks on average (I hope)

Only stayed one night at Roses Reserve (Thora 14km from Bellingen) because of no internet coverage.
Withdrawal symptoms set in immediately and took of to Nambucca Heads ASAP.
Hope it gets fixed quickly.

We get free internet at our local library - trouble is they are not open at 10pm or 6am, which is when I like to get on here!! As for multi tasking - I will admit some men can manage to do two things at once - but us superwomen can do a myriad of tasks at the same time - it is in our make up(no - not the cosmetic kind) - whereas men can be very single minded, I have found.

Is this multitasking?
Mrs W makes toast for me (sometimes) and then makes her own, and always burns her own because of this thing they call multitasking.
jules47 said
05:15 PM Aug 28, 2011
No - her toast burns because she thoughtfully makes yours first, then the toaster is heated up, and consequently burns her toast - you could get up and turn the toaster dial down a notch and solve the problem for her - now that would be your effort at multitasking - easting toast and turning dial at same time!

You know what will happen then Jules? Wombat will end up with undercooked toast the next day as he will forget to turn it back up.
