Oh yeah, I forgot that he's from New York!! Glad he's doing okay.

Howard has power back in his home, got it back between Nov 4th and Nov 6th. He's posted from his buddy's and from the library to let us know he's doing OK. No cable TV and no internet connection yet in Howard's home as of Nov 6th.

NO CABLE???? Man that sounds like hell.....  I'm glad howard and his family are safe tho!

Hope he is ok. He hasn't posted in awhile.

thought about him yesterday, when is he going to be able to post again from home or go to the library or a friends house again?

Yeah, I miss Howard too.

I hope it's not too rough going for Howard.  Last November our power was out for eleven days and I was pretty fed up with it by the end.  What really sucks is when the surrounding neighborhoods get their power and you don't.  So you're reading Harry Potter by kerosene lamp and the guys across the street are stringing up xmas lights and busting out the video games!

Oh ok. At least he can watch TV now and not be freezing in the cold.

Just to give you guys an update, still waiting for Time Warner to give us back the computer, phone, and TV.(some wires are still down) I am still posting from my friend's house as of now so hopefully and maybe we'll get it back by tomorrow but I have a lot of going back a lot of days from where I left off from the storm, If not tomorrow then I don't know when, My Mother's aggravated and my Father is surely pissed off so whatever happens whether it be tomorrow or whenever, I'll see you soon. Once again, take care!  :)

Thanks for checking in with us. We all miss you and are concerned. My mother used to have Time-Warner and hated it. Then she switched to Dish Network (we got her a deal with them), and she loved it. I really hope that they give you some compensation when they finally give you back your service.

Welcome back, Howard!  Glad to see you're alive and well.

You'd have to talk to Stanley (My father) he's the one that pays the bills.

Yay!! Howard posted!  ;D

I'm here but not at my own computer yet still posting at my friend's house posting here. It's quite annoying cause right now Time Warner has lack of workers and they can't get their ass to come over here and give us back my computer, TV and phone and My Mother is almost having a nervous breakdown and My father goes to sleep quite early cause he's bored as hell with nothing to do SO Time Warner said that possibly next week with an appointment they will show up, hopefully this will be our calling.We don't know but we'll see what happens but I'll keep you guys updated with what's happening with me. Everything's good just it gets quite monotonous doing the same thing coming home without the television and computer being on every day. Anyway that's about all can't post a lot cause this is my buddy's computer, not mine. And once again I'll talk to you guys soon. Take care, love you all.  :)

You'd have to talk to Stanley (My father) he's the one that pays the bills.



you should talk to him about it for me...  ;D


Welcome back- even if it's brief and happy thanksgiving.

Thank You I appreciate it. This thing with Time Warner can't go on much longer either they do something about this or maybe My Father might consider switching to a different plan.  >:(

Good to see you back, Howard.

Don't be too harsh on the cable company.  I am sure they have been busy dealing with lots of other families just like yours.

Haven't been hurting or anything and it was sunny this morning so I went out to get some sun on my back and got to hear all the birds chirping.

Hi its me again and I am posting from my friend's small tablet. It's almost
9:30am in the morning and probably gonna have some breakfast soon so I will be
leaving his house later. I really do hope we
get the rest of our power back soon, This is making my mother nauseous and my father and I bored stiff, just coming home and turning on the radio then going to sleep at 9pm. So when the power does come back on I will be on my own computer. Take care see you soon. :)

You wanna know where I am? I am right here!  :) The power finally came back this mid-afternoon (well,mostly) The phones are working and the computers are working BUT the TV isn't because there is no signal and My Father tomorrow when he comes home from Florida has to call the cable company to turn on the box so we can watch television after a month and a half except coming home and listening to the damn radio. ::) So anyway just letting you guys know that I missed you all and I'm back on full time but I'll be back again tomorrow morning cause right now my computer is updating quite loads of stuff so I can't talk long and I have to check on those things so anyway have yourselves a good night and I'll see you then. BYE!  :)

Glad to hear things are getting back to normal for you, Howard. :)

Hey, Howards' back.
Same old Howard..

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Howard.



Cat

I'm still here, have been on the boards now almost 8 hours now and trying to get back to where I left off before the storm hit which is about a month a half of unread posts so it might take me until tomorrow morning (maybe afternoon) to get updated so that's why I'm not going as fast I used to. But I'm not sure would it be easy to put the computer on sleep mode and not log off until I wake up and turn on the computer at 530am( I have the day off) OR just log off and come back tomorrow with a shutdown? ???

sorry to hear that howard


My Mother is the super sensitive one My father he's the more pissed off Archie Bunker type.

Hey, Howards' back.

Yup, windows paint. Exactly.

paint is what I use to do my pictures in almost all the time.  Now I have this thing I don't really have a clue how to use.  Fortunatly I still have something that's like paint also.

Yup, windows paint. Exactly.

I still use that to manipulate certain pictures... or even combine elements of various pictures I find on the internet. Often times I find myself using the "eraser" tool a lot, just to isolate one element (and that even requires zooming in so that I don't delete any "good" pixels). Of course when I'm done, I always save the picture as a .JPG file (as BMP images take up a lot more memory).

I use an online program fotoflexer.com. It's not perfect but it gets the job done
