From earlier discussions in the forums, there are AOL users in M2; (i'm not..); so it's like missing the bus.

Yeah, there are some c_guys here but they seem to have missed your post.

Please type 'Device Manager' in the search text box of Windows startup panel and it will display a list of all devices attached to your pc (including your mouse). A driver, normally is a device driver, a software written in low level language like assembly or 'C' which interfaces with the pc's operating system (Windows). Normally this does not have to be updated unless one changes the device.

As far as AOL / Firefox and others, there are no devices except for the USB / modem supplied by your internet provider & that's got nothing to do with Browser software.

I'm on slightly gray area here, but an interface to the net - net is not a device.

So my opinion is that AOL browser software has some 'conflict' with either a previous version of AOL or another browser like Firefox.

That said, if AOL-mail is asking you to press a button to 'erase' some driver on your hard disk drive then it's not ok.

If it's AOL's installation wizard then it should automatically erase / uninstall previous 'AOL mail' version. So if it is asking for something else - then it's v.strange & what is it?

On an aside - I have a suspicion that AOL's newer version would 'read' your mail (like gmail does; cause I receive quite a few 'targeted ads' when I send a mail to anybody on a particular topic') Targeted ads have become a huge source of revenue; particularly now that Google has bought out 'Ad-Block'.

Now if you want to stop those irritating messages go to AOL's 'Settings page' and 'options' and so on till you reach 'Look up updates'. Uncheck this obviously.

If it still persists then as Isaac says getting friendly with the neighborhood store / geek or googling 'AOL updates' could bring in a lot of info.

That will be $10 /-.

Additionally, if you are taking assistance from the neighborhood spider man then they will do their diagnosis right in front of you (in IT this is among your rights to request as a safeguard to private files). Even if it's opening your hardware, in front of you else, your 4GB memory would shrink to 2GB.

that's another $5/-
Now where should i send the bill?

Hey Dude,
it takes courage to speak about one's life and subject it to examination by 'strangers' how-so-ever well meaning.

let's see you are what 34? Real life actually begins at 35 plus.

also Mingle2 people generally speak openly based on their experiences; me? i tend to speak spontaneously; mood of the moment; but our friends reflect & then respond; so if there is a pail of ice cold water dropped on you by a member; hey; that's what friends are for, right?

You are straddling a tough bar; at least tougher than whatever i have faced in life. May be over time, some solution may be worked out; may require that woman on her flying stick to come down to earth; is all i can see.

meantime enjoy life; take her out on a vacation, anything different;
give her something beyond the chains of motherhood.
Best wishes.

Soo, so out.
Romeo is not her student & Juliet is not his class teacher.
Something about him sparked in Juliet. She must investigate;
if not for him, for herself.

Treating Romeo as pork(?) where hav't thou, my princess; wafted?
I would pursue you to the end of earth
if only you threw more than a handkerchief..

seems to me a lot of singles are living on islands.
building high barricades
like the 80-20 rule
80% of the singles are building barricades against the 20% predators / scammers and what not.

so a shipwrecked wen swims over to the island and what does she get from the sole resident? a spontaneous hug?

80-20 says negative.

Ciretom has a great deal of experience in these matters.
Eva, if it's not true, please respond.

Hi Annie,
The way you describe.., I suppose girls do find themselves in such situations. Anyway in opposition to some of the well meant advice.., here's my suggestion.





So within a month you changed your mind? I would have suggested 3 months. After all he's having a predictable life why should he give it all up to a stranger? The questions he may be harboring are...

1. Are you right for him?
By this I mean, similar background, common interests (?); things you are passionate about that might interest him?

So check 1 - ok.

2. What about your fitness levels and size ratio?
By ratio I mean waistline. Men don't say it but this is the differentiation between friends and g.f.
Most ladies i knew were good cooks helping themselves a bit too often.

well, well, well..
just checked your profile & find you are a gym enthusiast.
so check 2 - ok.

3. What about money?
A survey (in a TV show in US) found that most couples quarrel over money.
check 3 - ok

4. What about temperament?
ok, you've a golden heart, but seems that it comes with some quick temper. That makes you the 'controlling type', not him(!)
check 4 - hmm.

So finally we come to "What would you do?"
2 clear oks.
It's 3 out of 4 then you may want to meet this 'stranger' and now safety is the concern..

send a mail stating you have some work in his city, suggest a b'fast meeting at Wendy's before you rush off to the job. It sends a subliminal message 'hey, the lady has her own life & it's not going to revolve around you'.

take a friend along.
why not?

Oops, I missed Ciretom's response.
solid points there.

& i missed the fact that Annie is a gym enthusiast.
that's a wow factor there.

Easy to say. we lost our senses of smell & such nuances long ago. the world is reduced to 8 hour shifts of clobber, clobber, clobber.

It's time wonderbra came through with green LEDs when they hard(?)

Yeah, i did miss somethings, particularly 'illegals' but more to the point Trump has a construction / project background. Right or wrong solutions, he's going to make them work. He's not looking out for his skin.

The DL example was figurative on how commonsense solves problems.
Also his rejoinder to Putin(?), makes us aware that he thinks beyond boundaries.

If for a moment we forget the western world, I think even the ISIS is watching 2016 elections 'closely'. Anybody can see that Mr. Trump has zero tolerance for nonsense.

Personally, politics don't interest as much. The only feeling i get is Trump would galvanize space missions after clearing up the ISIS interruption. Or may be as you state Mr. Sanders is the candidate to watch. Not my cup...

But Hillary(?) for her Mr. Obama is the interruption she wants erased from history books.

May be I speak vehemently; but it's from having a Hillary here in India.

Her name is Sonia Gandhi. The likeness is amazing. Nothing got done.

Fa Kin Gun Pao Der.

Agreed.

Then look again at the possibilities..
trying a change of players & what do we get(?)

Lst's say Mao Tse Tsung visits N.Korea then under the older n wiser Kim.., returns and asks his foreign minister Chou-En-Lie...
(Chou was then known in India as a 2 faced guy)

or

Saudi Arabia's King visits Qatar
and the caveat here is give the wrong answer and you die...

We could try them all but somehow George Bush & Tony Blair seem appropriate here.

thanks for the flowers.

The Indian version has been doing the rounds on the net. On second thoughts, it backfires. hic.

George Bush Jr. didn't visit India but he met India's largest party president Sonia Gandhi during her visit to the United States for some medical treatment. During the meeting, Sonia talked about how she admired American women and particularly mentioned Condoleezza Rice who had made waves in India. GB in turn expressed his admiration on how a single party could rule India for 50 years. He then put forward the same question to her; the one on leadership philosophy..

Sonia may not have acquired a degree but she had attended those management seminars. And to demonstrate what she said she called the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and posted to him the father-child problem.

"Me of course", said Manmohan Singh.

After the meeting, George Bush pondered over this; hmm, Condoleezza Rice; Rice & India; yeah, he could see the connections. So George called Ms. Rice, knowing that she would answer right.

Ms. Rice panicked. She called up the very same Colin Powell. Powell laughed, "me of course".

When the grateful Ms. Rice (wonder why she didn't get married, such lovely legs) carried back the message Bush was doubly pained: "Don't you know Honey! , it's Manmohan Singh"

Houston, then London floods have been hitting the news,
don't know whether you guys heard abt. flooding here in Chennai, south east coast of India.

Late Nov - mid Dec, 2015:
unprecedented rains - a years rainfall in 3 days, they said.
roads were streams we waded through; power shut down.
cars submerged in some areas

then within 3 days again
a years total rainfall in 3 days
followed by a week of balmy winds

and again!!
a years total rainfall in 3 days...
power, water, bank ATMs- already down.

may be it's global warming in London & Houston
but definitely real estate mafia here.
G'men, greed is realestate

nipples tipple?

hmnn..
was crashing through the red light, while stalking you..

Amazing Grace..
plz kick out my Ex..

Forget Carlson, Trump has a wider outlook and so the blueprint.
DLs colored yello for Mex, blue for Euros and so on..

DLs are after all licenses like teaching licenses, electrician licenses, flying licenses, medical...

If one extrapolated Ben's point of view, no international pilot could land a plane in US airports..

In India, and many countries, if Americans have an international DL; they automatically drive..

Funny laws, if one can buy guns but not drive..

I read this somewhere and on the rebound; is more tantalizing….

Which president?
Barack? He’s what he eats: beef n pork: power n sex..
If he went for fish maybe, some brains..

George Bush: An accidental President: yeah, if he caught, he caught; else Jeb would do it..,

Clinton: He’s original the follower: told the gals: “I will make ye fishers of men” Hillary, his masterpiece ..

George Bush Sr.? ok, yeah; may be. Kuwait, Iraq; fisherman, alright..




Makes sense finally; a donkey trusting other donkeys...

Aha. But the guy in the Sound of Music was teakwood not rosewood.
ok, ok, you are a big heart
but 8 years? it's like love overtaking life
