I am eager to display my ignorance so that I 'may' become educated. When you use an external drive do you play from that drive or are they just backed up. If you play from the external drive does it slow down game play? I would love to clean up my 'C' drive (too many games, lol) and play from an external drive.

1. What would be the lesser of 2 evils? A. a colonoscopy. B. Having a tooth pulled.
I have had two teeth pulled NP! Colonsocopy scares me to death. They found cancer when my husband had one and now he is gone.
2. Do you have any scars? If so, how many and where are they?
Lots of scars. I live to live, maybe I should have more caution...
3. Do you have any tattoos? If so, how many and where are they?
I would love to get my back done with two dragons. One facing forward and one watching my back.
4. If you could turn back the clock, is there any one major change in your life that you would make ?
I wouldn't change anything. Everything I have experienced good and not so good have made me the person I am today.
5. Not a question but a riddle: "what is the longest word in the dictionary"?

Elle, You have my empathy! My daughter is 15 and has traveled extensively for her age. She has been to Europe twice, Hawaii several times, and goes to a variety of summer camps she loves. All without me! I love to give her wings and watch her fly and experience the world. That said I hate it when she flies and I'm not there to make sure everything is perfect for her or fix something that goes awry. I do know that when something has gone wacky and she has resolved the issue on her own I am so proud of her I could positively bust! She is a wonderful young lady learning to be her own person. What more could a parent as for! (Ok, lots, lol)

Yusef, Please help with the food thing! I have a Golden Retriever that had to lose 80 lbs. Hardest thing I ever did in my life. She was a puppy mill puppy and had food issues. I figured being secure with always having food available when she wanted it was the best emotional therapy. Then she blew out both back knees from being overweight and having a genetic problem (one of many). Brought new meaning to the saying "Love someone to death". My vet put her on SD to lose weight. She has also chewed her feet constantly and her ears get red and swollen. I figured it was a food allergy and have switched her to the SD Sensitive Stomach. It costs about $73 per 30# bag. Would love a healthier suggestion as I am obviously trying to do right by her. She is 7 years old.

Ellie, I used to be a member there and have 6 credits that I have to use by 6/28 or lose them. You are welcome to 3 of them to get the games as I am unlikely to find 6 games there that I would even want by then. I think I would need an e-mail address to gift them to you. Can you private message me so you don't have to broadcast your address? That is if you are willing to do that. I would immediately delete your address once I sent them to you.

I have 12 of the jigsaw collections. Yes, you have to download the trial then you can see what puzzles are included with the collection.

Much as the thought of 'good things' appeals I have seen way too many good intentions go wrong. I think I would go for the 'Santa every day of the week'! I usually locate a child at Christmas (I get help from the teachers at our local school) that wants something totally cool but not practical. Everyone needs to feel special and those things stay in their mind forever. It lets dreams stay alive.

Lol, I really don't like chocolate. Now were peppermint to be somewhere in the relative vicinity......

The 'things' haven't really settled down yet. Still a lot going on that will take time to get done. My head is improved though. I have been working with a Good friend to throw out the trash so to speak. Good friend meaning the ones that don't give you platitudes "things will get better", "Oh poor you" etc.....the ones that will tell you to pull your head out of your hiney and pay attention when your messing up, lol. Have a wonderful day all.

As to the yard work this started out as. I really really don't like raking. I have to do a LOT of it. I do like the end result though. Nice and tidy! I have 1.5 acres of lawn and it takes two days to mow and weed-eat. Water five days and do it all over again....and again....and again all summer, lol. It does look very nice or so everyone tells me. I usually only see what needs done.

There is a way to have your games all download to a 'folder' on your desktop to avoid the clutter that I abhorred (yes I'm OCD). However, deleting the games is very cumbersome. I really don't know why (perhaps because I have so many programs on my computer) but my 'Add/Remove programs' takes about five minutes to load. Hence, I don't do it very often and I end up with a lot of unused games on my computer that doesn't happen with a Game Manager that makes deleting games easier. I don't want GH to 'be' another site I would just like some of the conveniences offered by other sites I use. Queuing is very nice also.

Umm Poppa, yes there are other medical reasons to take birth control. My 15 year old daughter is taking them because she is an asthmatic and the steroids that she has to take to control it have stunted her pituitary gland. If she didn't take them she would have permanent damage to her health and no possibility of ever having children of her own. It is definitely a bonus that she would not have a pregnancy that could put her life goals on the skids for an unwise choice in the 'heat' of the moment.

OK, Poppa this is one of the judgmental things I was talking about when I was lurking instead of joining discussions. Personally if I don't care for a topic I don't read or join the discussion rather than 'force' my opinion on others that may have a different one. Discussion of differing view points is valuable in my opinion, telling others what is appropriate for them removes discussion and instills judgement. What is right for one is not right for all. Nor should it be. If we were all the same the world would be a very boring place indeed.

1. I only watch a few TV shows. Survivor, NY Ink, and House. I do watch others when I am hanging out with my daughter.

2. ANTS!!!!!

3. No guilty pleasures. Guilt is a useless emotion in my opinion. What is is.

4. Mediocre at best.

5. National Geographic

6. Thanksgiving....refer to #4. LOL

Not brave. I just didn't know how else to answer in the moment. I am honest to a fault and that was the truth at the moment. Now I can see that 'widowed' would have been appropriate. Forms have been confusing me lately. When they ask for our daughters father on forms I didn't know what to put there. He is still her father. When we discussed it we realized most are looking for a contact name and number, as he can't be contacted, it is ok to leave it blank.

3. U.S. West Coast

I truly do not understand why this is an issue and yet it certainly does cause problems.

P.S. Don't worry. I can find errors so you're safely in the mix. But I think the general rule, spoken or unspoken, is not to get on people about their use of language. Not only a lot of ppl don't have a command but also foreign language speakers post here, although a lot of foreign language speakers use better English than native borns.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I purposely use crappy language on forums.

I would find that difficult and not worth the effort. When my daughter started kindergarten I was called in to the school as they wanted to move her to the 3rd grade. While I was waiting for my appointment I was reading a bulletin board that had senior essay's posted on it. I was horrified! Not one of them had even a modicum of proper punctuation, grammar, or spelling.

I think it is a wonderful idea! I too love the Super Jigsaw Puzzles. I have them all. I have tried other puzzle games and don't like them as well. They do all seem the same after a while and a fresh new theme would be delightful!

You have to complete the feather duster outside and use it on the web. I had a difficult finding the handle part on the tree.

you need to get the pearls at the dive shop. Take them to the tavern and play the gentleman for the seahorse. Take the sea horse to the art shop and trade for the codex tablet. Go to the tavern and click on the diver helmet for the date. Use the tablet to translate the numbers to the symbols and click on the appropriate symbol for the date. Hope this helps. I'm stuck on the jump peg. If you get that please let me know the solution for the blue pegs, lol.
