A big bowl of pea soup!  ;) ;D :o

Lou, as far as I'm concerned, that bird wasn't airworthy when it rolled off the factory floor!  >:( Out of many rides, my last one, we took off at Portland, Ore. The pilot circled over Portland,, a couple of times, and then asked the crew chief to bring me into the cockpit. He asked me if I...

Tom, that's really disappointing.  :(  Ray D  :(

Terrible news, John. I wish you strength. It's tough to recover from that. God be with you. Ray D.

I read this article. Was going to post it. Guess I won't.  ;)

Can someone explain/comment on this threat. I am almost but not quite computer literate. Need to bump my understanding. Thanks. Ray D http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755 I put his in the wrong board. Someone please correct...

I had the same problem, two weeks ago. The beeping drove me nuts.  >:(  Finally called a mobile tech. He, after a lot of searching, found that the Propane detector was malfunctioning. $50 to reset the Propane detector. Worth every penny! I am hearing impaired and cannot locate high pitched...
