Jack - We replaced 2 older TVs with medium size High Definition (HD) models.  We wanted a larger screen for the living room, but that required replacing the wall unit to accommodate it & that would've doubled the cost. 

However, we can zoom or stretch the screen image if needed & the picture quality is excellent.  They're both Wi-Fi internet-ready, so we can play Netflix movies on-demand & record programs with a DirecTV HD DVR that permits stop-action in one room & resuming in the other.

I'm now trying to reprogram the remotes to control the multiple items - case pends.

Praying that we hear something from Virginia soon and that the news is she's safe.

 I don't know anything about Joplin Mo, so I don't know what part of the town Virginia Macon lives.  I do know that 3/4 of the town is destroyed by the tornado yesterday evening.  I called Virginia's home # this afternoon & tonight & all I got was a recording saying "Due to the emergency situation no pho calls can be completed at this time".  I'll try again tmo. Let's pray she's still alive & she still has a home.

Oh Jim you are right.  She does live in Joplin!!!  She came to our last reunion.  I've been reading in the paper about the devastation & saw much of it on the noon news.  It reminded me of when the tornado hit Jerrell just N of Austin.  Let's pray she is alright!

Has anyone been in contact with Virginia Macon ?  Doesn't she live in or around Joplin, MO. ??

Toni, Bruce called at a great time. You don't know how much we appreciated his offer to help. Had the Tillery's not been on the way up from Houston with 3 days of help, I would have taken him up on the offer. My experience has been when putting down flooring, more than two people is not useful. Know that if I need a hand I'll be sure to call.

Jack, anytime Bruce hears that someone is doing renovation, he always wants to offer a hand. I hope he didn't call at a bad time! 

Karen Hughes, I sent you an email over the weekend.  Any chance you have read it?  I would appreciate any information you all might provide.

OK, Don, I'll bite. What's a HD TV upgrade?? Are you replacing old analog TVs with new (big Screen) HD Digital ones??

OK, Y'all - Either I'm disconnected or there hasn't been a post in 2 days.  I know some are awake out there because they've responded to e-mails.

C'mon - Stir something up, trash somebody (not necessarily in our class), or post a good link.

Anyway, I'm doing an HD TV upgrade - 1 down, 1 to go.

Happy Sunday!

Sandy and Don, thanks for the tips.  I'll start deleting long lists of email addresses from now on.  I would hate for people to stop sending things.  I get some real laughs out of some of them!  But that spoofing thing is a real headache to deal with.  And so embarrassing!

SNL - Thanks for chiming-in on this. 

There was also a related incident where Rod Savage rcvd an angry e-mail from a 'nut case' who went-off on him like a rocket. 

He (?) apparently rcvd one of Rod's Redneck jokes from someone else in a multi-forwarded e-mail.  This guy unloaded on Rod, Rednecks, Republi-Nuts, Jews (whose asses we saved), and anyone who believed in God, adding they probably believed in the Easter Bunny & Tooth Fairy also.

BTW - the subject line of his e-mail was 'Confused' - nuff said.

You are so right Don!   I get a lot of forwarded emails from this grp & they will have several long strings of email addresses.  I think the same person who hijacked David Mitchell's em also got Georgene Capps bec I've gotten the same weird msg from both & both have the subject as " 3".  Of course the bad emails are never signed & have a one sentence msg asking me to look at the url.  Collectively, ALL of US need to be more diligent in what WE click on & what WE SEND or Forward! 

Email privacy is why I switched to this GB about 2yrs ago.  If you type in your em all that shows here is the word Email in blue as mine does above. If s/o clicks on it they can send you an Em but will never see your em.  You can choose to respond to them or simply delete it. They can not get your Em address unless you reply to them.  This site is safe, but I can't say the same for the crap I get with hundreds of forwards from people I don't know.  It's kind of like practicing "safe sex", you never know where that email has been!
