The Color 'Red' is missing

July 31, 200717 yr

What are you doing with seed beads and bugles?? Embroidering with them?

Or making jewellery. (Americans spell it 'jewelry'.....another

bastardized word!!

What's so holy about a vacation? You take a vacation from work and vacate

the office, or go on vacation from home and vacate your home. If a holiday

is really a holy day, then going on vacation and saying you're going "on

holiday" doesn't make sense unless your vacation is a visit to a holy place

or for a religious purpose, eh?

I don't think I've heard anyone say whilst lately. I believe wherever that

word would fit, we'd just use while.

"you" is one of our regional words. Depending on where you're from, you

might refer to a group of people as:

you

you people

you all

ya'll

you'uns

y'uns

yous

I thought you could spot a Brit by the krumpets they eat.

Keerist, you are such an ignorant dolt!! I said....."the word holiday

is from old english for 'holy days'.....and for your information, my

holiday in Portugal consisted of visiting a lot of "holy places". They

are called "churches and cathedrals and basilicas".

Krumpet, crumpet, you know what I meant. I didn't want to bother to look it

up. We don't eat them here. Don't tell me you're miss perfect and never

misspelled a word.

As I said, if you're doing something holy it can be a holiday, otherwise

it's just a vacation. Certainly you're free to call it what you want.

Everyone is free to be wrong. If you have a problem with me, don't bother

responding. Do the world a favor and take a long walk off a short pier.

No more "Krispy Kreme" (or any such with or without a "C") in my

neighborhood anymore for quite some time now, already, allright! Dunkin'

Donuts are still the favored in most places of the US of A.

ACK!! Scary!! KK Donuts opened with a big media campaign near me and I

couldn't believe how awful they were.......pure greasy sugar!! (G) You

will have to taste our Tim Hortons ones. I was checking Timmies out on

Google and you do have several in the US.

Trivia.....Horton was an NHL hockey player who unfortunately was

drinking and driving his Pantera at 100 miles an hour when he hit a

concrete bridge abutment. Died instantly. He never lived to see the

success of his franchise.

Klap (hit lightly) the monitor it may be a dry joint is cutting out

the red color gun. Also, check the pins in the plug that plugs the

monitor's signal lead into the PC it may be that pin(s) corresponding

to the red signal are bent out of their correct path.

As above. If CMOS Setup also looks blue-purplish, then it's most

likely the monitor or its cabling.
