Friday Funny: The Afterlife

October 30, 2009 By Robert Owen

Hello everybody!!!  Sorry for no Friday Funny post last week...   It appears my friends really did have other things to do as no one sent me anything new.  (Go figure!  Bunch of over achievers!)  Couple that with the fact that I was "Busier than a one armed paper hanger" and you have my excuse. So, here for your Friday Funny pleasure, I give you...  The Afterlife! A  couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back  and inform the other of the afterlife.  Their biggest fear was … [Read more...]

Windows 7 error 86

October 28, 2009 By Robert Owen

Windows 7 & Windows 2000  -  Error 86 when mapping drives. One of my upgrades this week to Windows 7 was from a Windows XP laptop. Following  the steps I outlined in my previous post the initial process was a breeze!  No problems at all!!  Simple, some would say,  and as everything else goes as soon as "they" said it was simple...  Something will break!  That's just how it is... If something seems easy, it will be easy!  Until you TELL someone it was easy, then all bets are off! In … [Read more...]

Windows 7 Clean Install from Upgrade

October 28, 2009 By Robert Owen

Windows 7 seems to be a hit! Since it's release on October 22, I've installed it in one form or another MANY, times probably twelve in the last 6 days.   The first couple of upgrades concerned me slightly because of the indefinite answer on whether or not you could do a clean install from the upgrade disk. I had a couple of laptops running the release candidate and I DID NOT want to have to install Vista then do an upgrade.  But to my surprise that was just as easy as the install from an … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: Redneck in NY

October 16, 2009 By Robert Owen

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!!!   Today's Friday Funny is yet another product of my e-mail. A Redneck from Tennessee walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Bakersfield on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: Replacement Windows

October 9, 2009 By Robert Owen

Howdy all!  Hope you had a good week.  Today's Friday Funny comes, once again, through my e-mail and it's a hoot! REPLACEMENT WINDOWS Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.  He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them. Hellloooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am … [Read more...]

Friday Funny: A little Instruction

October 2, 2009 By Robert Owen

Happy Friday Everybody!!  I hope you all had an acceptable work week...  Like usual, mine was highly...  diverse.  Yes,  I think  diverse is a good description.  Some might say... crazy?  No,  I don't think it qualifies as "Crazy"... I think diverse leaves more to the imagination. Anyway,  this week's Friday Funny is a long one but, I find it to be highly instructive.  This arrived on my door step via the glorious medium of e-mail and I thought everyone needed the wisdom that this list … [Read more...]
