I Have been told many times that the only stupid question is the question not asked so keeping that in mind so I don't feel like a big Dingaling, here is my question.
Many of you have the cutest little animated animals, signatures, etc.etc. could you please tell me where I can find all these things? It's so hard to show folks how you feel or a funny, sad, happy, goofy, (u get the pic lol) moment with only a typed txt.
Thanx in advance, Peace

P/S sheeesh I'm full of questions today, guess I'm making up for a month of not being able to play or come here to get to know the many great people I've met here

Hi,
I just search the internet for animated gifs, or quotes, or signatures, etc. Copy and paste those that allow or copy them to my computer than upload them on a site like photobucket, use their html link to paste here. Good luck!

Even though someone brought up and old thread, I say why not play!

I am playing 2 great hidden object games-Dark Strokes-sins of the father, and House of a 1000 doors, palm of zorcaster. Both really great HOG's!!!

We learn as we go, and we never learn unless we ask, so do not feel ignorant, glad you asked!

Ok, if you just use the ones from your start button, they too are just like your desktop ones, just links. Follow these steps instead:
Open your new drive up ready to drag over the game first-THEN
Click-START
Click- ALL PROGRAMS
Scroll till you see a folder called-GAME HOUSE
Click-GAME HOUSE
Your games will be under this file
Drag the game you want over to your drive, this should give you the whole game file onto the new drive.

Good Luck!!

Poppa wrote: Those who know me well enough here realize that Poppa is a big fan of HOGs. I only own a handful of games that are not HOGs. For the past couple months, my 5 yr old grandson has taken an interest in playing some of them with me. For me the quality time with my kid is priceless. For him , even though he doesn't realize it, the games are a terrific learning tool. He is learning new words when the item lists appear and as a result gets to know new items that would otherwise be foreign. He does a really good job deciding which inventory items need to be used in another location and he's getting better all the time navigating the playing field. So if any of you have youngsters in the home or grandkids that visit, introduce them to PC games. Great experience for the kid and an even better deal for the adult.

Sure poppa, way to make an excuse for your addiction j/k-I'm actually addicted to HOG's myself, and my kids at first saw no appeal, but now I get them to play with me, and just last month my husband played one and is now addicted to them...lol! They can be educational, fun and a great bonding experience like a board game, so why not? Share!

I agree with Yusef, try another machine first. I have several computers that I play games on and some do better than others with the same game.
I also agree with the Flowers OI stunk anyway lol! I played about 5-8 minutes of it and deleted it off my computer. Good luck!

I get what your saying, but when your not paying for a service why should you complain? It is what it is. You can always go over to your pond buddies you love so much.

In all seriousness, I would like some improvements too, but I'm not going to get my panties in a wad over it..... and I pay for the service!

It is what it is, if you don't like it move on, if you like it or like being here, just deal with it. Imho. or maybe not so humble opinion


All this is tongue and cheek stuff Poppa, I hope you know that-not downplaying your issues, just saying it's all good and sometimes all you can do is stay and enjoy the ride. If it changes because of your efforts, great, bravo! But if it doesn't I hope you will still stick around and have fun, ignore the rest. Life's too short for panty wads!

yusef wrote: Thanks for the replies, ladies. I'm out the door and will read them later.

I did download two games on this old computer--no problems, no errors. No strikeouts, no homeruns.

I play games on my old XP, Vista and Windows 7 and I have not had any of the problems people have been complaining about? I can download my old games easily, and the new ones too. Every so often a new game has an issue, but it's because of the program not my computer. I tend to think most people's issues is their virus software is blocking the games and the site, etc. ??

1. What would be the lesser of 2 evils? A. a colonoscopy. B. Having a tooth pulled. **They both allow you to be numbed first so they are equal in my book.

2. Do you have any scars? If so, how many and where are they? **Plenty, all over-grew up with an abusive alcoholic parent, but each one reminds me of how strong I am, and life can be wonderful, I do not like to focus on the negative, it will always be there, but life is what you make it, and I choose to make it great!

3. Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many and where are they? **No, never will.

4. If you could turn back the clock, is there any one major change in your life that you would make ? **Adopt sooner, I had believed all the media stuff and was scared to adopt, but in the end it was nothing like I had read, it was, and is a wonderful experience and I would do it sooner than I did.

5. Not a question but a riddle: "what is the longest word in the dictionary"? **Well now that you said it, I won't make a fool of myself guessing it, lol! Smiles!

1. How many bones have you broken? **1, my nose a few years back in a car accident.

2. Are you clumsy or graceful? **Mostly graceful, but I do have my clumsy moments when I am rushing to do something.

3. Worst accident you have been in? **Car accident a few years ago with my family all in the car, we hit a cement barrier after someone hit us. My seat belt failed and my face hit the windshield before the air bag deployed. Broke my nose and and bruised my whole chest area and along the seat belt area when it finally grabbed me. Could of been worse, so thankful it was not-no one else was majorly hurt just bruised thankfully! Our vehicle was totalled, but it saved us.

My take is that unless one gets it straight from the cow, no one knows which state the milk comes from. That leaves us in udder confusion.

That's why you should milk your own, and churn your own, yum!

1. Name a board game you enjoy ( e.g. chess, monopoly ) **I love Ticket to Ride, and I love playing it on my ipad too for the same reason listjohn mentioned, it's faster and not long to wait for someone lol! But I love a lot of board games still, and my family and I play dice games like Farkle, and card games like Hand and Foot, Uno, Phase 10 (though I love the dice phase ten the best!) etc. We are gamers here.

2. As a kid, what was your favorite outdoor game ( e.g. tag ) **Croquet was always my favorite, and kickball


3. Of the following ( Match 3, large file, yime management, word, HOG ) which is best and which is worst? **Best is HOG, I like Match 3 too, and Word, but Time M. is the worst for me.


4. Summer Olympics being held this year. If you watch at all, which sport (s) most get your attention? **I love the track and field events, the diving, and gymnastics the most. I enjoy watching the Olympics.

llstjohn wrote: Victoria--I know what you mean about the heat and the cold. For me, I am cold all the time. I think it's a side effect of the coumadin I've been on for the last 2 years.

I made my first rotisserie chicken yesterday. Went with the garlic-oregano. It came out really well.

OK--Here is something I have always wondered about. I was straightening up my kitchen cu0pboards the other day and I found 2 bowls with no lids and 3 lids with no bowls. how does that happen when stuff never leaves my kitchen?

Will the sun come up on December 22? I think the Mayan calendar, like ours does every year, will just start a new cycle and nothing will happen. What do you think?

On the lids and bowl thing, if you have kids, or even a husband, that is your answer! I have found mine in the garage being used for tools, bolts, etc. Or the kids gave the dog something to drink out of or chew on, etc. Yeah, the joys of family! lol!

As for the Mayan Calendar, I think it's just the end of one calendar and the beginning of another, no biggie! I love watching these super preppers prepare though, very entertaining! I'm all about being prepared, have some 72 hour kits, and some food storage, but some of these people go to extremes, but hey, maybe they are smarter than the rest of us?

Funny story about the Mayan thing....one of my sons turns 16 a few days before December 22, and we do not allow our kids cellphones until they are 16 (I think they can live without them just fine until then imo) and my son has been begging me to give him one earlier because "Mom, the world will end a few days after my birthday, it's not fair I only get a phone for a few days! Please mom, can I have one now so I can enjoy it longer?" Gotta give him some points for coming up with that argument, right?
