Should I order the pizza early again?

And one slight problem... Haven't picked up that book you wanted yet. I'm going to try again today, but I don't know if they will have it or not... The guy told me it might come in today.

rah · May 9, 2003, 08:55

Well, I haven't quite finished the book I'm reading, but I know I will this weekend. Hope you can get it today.

Yes, go ahead and order it a little earlier.

I'll see what I can do... The guy told me that the new books usually come in on Wed or Thur, but that he hasn't heard from him all week and the books never showed up. I'll call him again this morning after the store opens and see if he's heard anything since yesterday.

War4ever · May 9, 2003, 09:42

i will be home earlier today as well....around 6pm your time.....

Drinking and pinball may be ok... but I'm not sure about the Kibbutz... Barry won't be showing up, and I haven't heard from the Marks yet...

Hopefully we'll have a Mark sighting. But if not, there's always the NBA playoffs -- losing Lakers are always fun to watch. As for the kibbutz, we can do that to Rah.

My timing for tonight is post-liquor store closing -- hope that's not a prob...

Ming · May 9, 2003, 09:52

Not a problem... I picked some more up yesterday. If either of the Marks call, I can ask them to bring some, but otherwise, we should be set with what I have.

And Rah... DONE DEAL. I got the book, and picked up a three book series by Johnny Ringo... more SF Military stuff.

I'll order the pizza early... and look forward to seeing you after work.

Ming · May 9, 2003, 16:18

Ming · May 9, 2003, 16:51

only down side it will be 9-6 m-f and 7-12noon on sat every 3rd week

War4ever · May 10, 2003, 12:01

nasty hours.

Ming · May 10, 2003, 13:40

I wouldn't recommend loading paltalk... It had a lot of crap in it. I've spent the morning removing it and MS Messenger from my machine. I'll only be using ICQ in the future unless somebody finds a good conference program that actually works, and doesn't infect your machine with things like gator and other crap.

War4ever · May 10, 2003, 14:37

yeah good call. i am in the process of removing this crap too....lame

Ming · May 10, 2003, 15:05

I ran spybot this morning... and it simply went NUTS.
It removed over 140 files...

I couldn't believe all the crap that came along with the programs rah loaded last night.

And since MS Messenger didn't work for conference calls, I see no reason to keep it.

War4ever · May 10, 2003, 16:54

agree, i used spybot too...i got about 122 suspsicious crap....

what a waste that was....

Ming · May 10, 2003, 17:30

I also had to clean out a few directories worth of programs... at least the uninstall got rid of most of it.

It even installed some crap in my start up directory... while I had gotten rid of all the nasty little programs, my machine was getting tied up in start up looking for things I had already deleted. Finally cleaned out the last of it. My computer hopefully (knock on wood) is back to normal.

THANKS RAH

Maybe this should go in the etiquette thread.
