Hello Mike,

I just wanted to respond to this section (I will get back with you on the rest)

When I found it so difficult to sit up at the desk with my full computer because we did not have a laptop. Here is how I overcame this difficulty that may work for you too :)

I had James move the monitor onto the coffee table and the tower was placed underneath, I pulled the coffee table closer to me that everything was in reach and I could still see and read from the monitor.

I have an old wooden piece of particle board approx 17" wide X 12" long that I stained, (too look a little more pretty lol) that I used as a Dinner tray while watching TV. This tray became the table to place my keyboard and mouse on and I sat in my lazyboy chair and could be on the computer and even still watch TV..
just thought I would share that you can use what you already have for something else.

When we were discussing putting together an AdlandPro Community help line, several people suggested Craig's List and Free cycle. Although I still want to put the community one together, there is an item that I have wanted. You see, Shirley's birthday is January 24th and as she is not able to sit at the computer for any length of time, I have been wanting to get her a Laptop so that she can still be online in comfort. I put an ad on Craigslist but listed it in the wrong category and it got flagged. Therefore, I put the same wanted ad on Freecycle saying that I will walk to wherever it is to get it. I received a response this evening. The person said that he got a new Laptop for Christmas and is willing to give us his old one that is in real good condition and as soon as I got back in touch with him with directions he will bring it over. So, even though things are a bit rough it looks like some things are starting to to turn around for the better. Believe in yourself, believe in forgiveness, and believe in GOD and your whole life will be much better.

GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~

Hello Mike,

Too funny, that even Americans have trouble understanding each other!
I do not think I have heard a New England, or Massachusetts accent so I have no one to compare yours with.

Hello Mike,

I am not sure if I even responded to your Kind of the Road song, sometimes there has been many responses since the last time I read in here. This forum is 'jumping' and I like the many and varied topics we are talking about in here.

Anyway getting back to your song, I was expecting you to have a more pronounced accent and I did not detect it, you have a soft accent and voice to what I was expecting, although I am not even sure if I have heard anyone from up north. The USA accents are quite diverse yet for all the different accents people outside of the States can always tell it is an American just from the same way people speak.

10_1_136.gifHi Mary Evelyn,
I just came by to apologize. I had imagined that was what had happened. As Peter has pointed out, she will post two or three videos and if no one responds she will take them down. She has done that a few times on my two threads. I wish that people could realize that those that enter a thread will not respond to everyone. When I posted mine, "King Of The Road" by Roger Miller, I did so to contribute, not to gain recognition. I have learned however, that it does not show. I am still having problems with my computer and not everything takes the way I want them to. That does not mean that I am going to delete it. It gets confusing when someone puts something up and takes it down. It is like an interior designer who keeps changing the design. Perhaps someone liked the first design but by the fifth or sixth change, nobody cares anymore. What hurts the most is yes, I suggested that she bring some videos in, but I did not intend for her to insult you as a result of it. I love this thread and now I feel as though I stuck my nose in where it doesn't belong. This is where Forgiveness is very difficult, as by hurting you and possibly a lot of our friends, she has hurt me as well. There are many views to my two threads, but not a lot of responses. To respond to a thread, there must be something of interest to you for you to respond. As long as I continue to post subjects of interest I can expect a response, otherwise I cannot. In conclusion, try to forgive me if you can, if you cannot, I understand. To Karen, I ask that you insult me as much and as often as you would like, but please, please do not hurt my friends.

GOD BLESS YOU
and to Peter
Shalom
~Mike~

10_1_136.gifHi Amanda,
Thank you. I have never tried to be overbearing and as for the accent, I try to pronounce my words in a way that most people can understand me. There are a lot of people that tell me that I have a thick New England accent, however if I am talking with someone from Massachusetts I have trouble understanding them. I lived in Texas for five years and when I went back home to Massachusetts I really had problems. When I'd meet a friend that I had not seen in awhile and they would say, "Hey Mike. Where ya been? Ain't seen ya in awhile." I would say. "Howdy. Ya'll haven't seen me in awhile cause ah reckon ah been in Texas for farve years. How ya'll been? They would look back at me and say, "Huh???"
GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~

Hi Peter

Here's something for you :))

Hi Evelyn & All,

I'm posting this here cos it started in your thread and if you have any problems with it feel free to delete this post.

Last week I posted about Karen G's habit of posting and deleting and in the process complaining that she is being mistreated. To my surprise Karen sent me a PM and I replied to it and she answered with a "Thanks".

To my surprise while checking the post history today I saw that Karen posted my reply to her via PM and I answered her post which she deleted and then went on to post again with a jumbled diatribe in all caps to which I replied as well. She'll most probably delete my last reply as she did the first. I decided to post the whole story here which will include her initial PM to me. I don't normally post PMs since it is a private correspondence and also against the TOS of AdlandPro but since she posted my reply without posting her PM to me it all should be out in public.

Here are the PMs between Karen and myself:

1/14/2012 4:15:30 PM
HI this is karen g sorry you feel that way .that is the reason I took my things down I did not what to cause a problem.I felt like I should not be there. do you ever come to my site ? no it is not all about me or you or any one person . you don't think what I posted or what you posted will hurt any ones feeling, you should of come and talked to me to find out why.not put it out for every one.I have my reason for feeling this way .and if I felt like it was all about me I would have taken my singing site down a long time ago. I wanted to but Pauline asked me not. Mike asked me to put some videos on Marys site. I change my mine after I did.I guess I can do that if I want to.it will not happen again .sorry I cause you so much trouble.karen

Hello Karen,

Yes I have been to your threads and listened to some of the videos (have you ever been to mine? (rofl) ) . I happen to love music and most of the songs I listened to in your threads actually offended my sensibilities and ear drums. Aside from Luis Miguel and Roger MacDivitt who are quite good the rest can barely carry a tune and are off tune most of the time. The worst part is everybody lying and saying how great it is. So I visit only when Luis or Roger post a song cos I quite enjoy them.

If people have fun doing what they're doing in your threads and Mike's then it's fine and dandy for you all but don't expect others to be constant visitors with the poor quality of music there.

I didn't post in order to hurt anyone's feelings but to express my surprise at your unjustified complaints and almost immediate deletions. Your complaints showed that it is all about you but that's your right to feel that way but don't expect others to play the pity me game with you.

Pauline asked you to keep the threads going??? And that's the only reason you kept them going? Sounds like a very weak excuse to me especially when you consider the volume of songs you post there all the time.

You haven't caused me any trouble at all Karen. I was simply amazed at your lack of consistency with posting and deleting all the time.

Shalom,

Peter

karen gigikos / black belt grannyHobbies

I thought the issue was closed but today she started a public confrontation for no logical reason. Hmmmmm, looking for logic and reason might be to much to ask of her.


Sorry i will not be posting any more song this person feels he know a lot about music AND HAS SAID THIS TO ME

My reply was as follows (which she deleted but left her post up):

Karen,

I have two things to say about your quoted post below.

1. It's against the TOS of AdlandPro to post private communications (PMs) with out the approval of the person with whom you're having the exchange.

2. But, if you decided to break the rules at least be intellectually honest and post your initial jumbled PM to me so people will understand why I said what I said.

Oooooooops, I shouldn't have used the word intellect in regard to you. Sorry about that.

Shalom,

Peter

P.S. Since you are well known for deleting I'll be making a copy of this post along with your post.

And then this jumbled diatribe by Karen:

PETER YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SING SNAP . FIRST SONGS I SING ARE ,ALL DIFFERENT WAYS WHEN YOU ARE IN CONTEST THEY TELL YOU HOW TO SING AND WHAT TO DO . THEY CAN BE FUNNY FLAT. WITH SOMEONE ELSE ALL DIFFERENT WAYS. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THERE THAT CAN REALLY SING . AND TO BE THERE JUDGE ! IS REALLY SOMETHING . CAN YOU EVEN SING . THEY SING WITH THE TOOLS THAT SING SNAP GIVE US TO SING WITH . I FEEL THEY DO PRETTY GOOD. YOU HAD NO REASON TO COME DOWN ON ME AND BE MISTER KNOW IT ALL. YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT WHEN YOU KNOW NOTING THAT IS HAPPEN. DONT WORRY THERE WILL BE NO MORE SINGING ON HERE SINCE YOU ARE THE EXPERT. BET SING SNAP WOULD LOVE TO HERE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT LOT OF THERE SINGER. IT HAPPENS THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY COMES UP WITH LOTS OF THE WAYS TO SING SONGS. AND I DO HAVE ALOT OF TROPHYS FOR SING SO GET OVER YOUR SELF MISTER KNOW IT ALL .BET YOUR WIFE HAS PROBLEMS WITH YOU AND THE WAY YOU ACT. KAREN

My reply which hasn't been deleted ............yet. :)

Karen,

Your all caps do not impress me in the least nor does your jumbled post, bad grammar and spelling.

I like music and can tell when a person is off key and off tune. One doesn't have to know squat about singsnap to tell the difference between good music and bad. The fact that I find your singing to be in that category is nothing personal just my opinion.

Your reason for starting a confrontation here is not clear to me. When you send a PM and get a reply via PM even if there are disagreements it's between the 2 of us alone. You chose to publicize this and again your reasoning is not clear but neither are your rambling posts and PMs.

I'll carry on singing in the confines of my home and shower and you can carry on inflicting your off tune and off key music to the public at large.

I won't respond to any more of your diatribes cos it's simply not worth the effort replying to your gibberish.

Shalom,

Peter

Hey Helen,

First I want to congratulate you on posting the video instead of the link. Way to go. :)

Thanks for the song but I'm very happy. This whole episode is actually quite funny and borders on the ridiculous. Karen deleted my posts in her thread and left only her posts which is very misleading and in a way dishonest. So now everybody knows the whole story.

Shalom,

Peter

We should all sing on Singsnap and make a record-sales site, and all be compelled to get along, just like on the handmade sales sites where everyone promotes each other's scarves and jewelry made from rags and recycled newspapers, and there's no arguing because everyone's in sell-mode...and we all tell each other..."That looks great!" ;)
