Ooohh you're awesome! I think I'll be trying that. Thanks!!

Not sure if you'd want to switch browsers, but with FireFox you can browse privately. No URL's are saved or anything which is good for those of us... ... that visit sites we shouldn't. LOL

I swear I just can't win no matter how hard I try. I guess I'll just be using the laptop with non-working keys (it's XP by the way). They don't stick. Everything is very clean..no dust, nothing has ever been spilled, etc. They just have fits where they won't work now. Can't afford to buy anything at all...no hard drive, no new keyboard or number pad, and definitely no new OS. I can't even finance a trip to the mailbox at this point. So I give up. lol Thanks guys.

Meaning it won't run correctly? Or just that I won't be able to do updates?

Not not the same. Figured I would download whatever drivers were necessary, like I did with my old computer...

Ok so some of you hopefully remember that laptop I was trying to fix...the one with the bum hard drive. Well, on MY laptop, I have 2 more keys that are intermittently working now, bringing the total up to 4. Gets annoying in a big way. So, I was thinking of popping out the hard drive on my laptop, and putting it into that other laptop. Aside from me physically breaking something in the process, there really shouldnt be a problem with me doing that, right? I mean, theoretically it should work just like putting a hard drive from a PC into another PC, correct? I dont mess with laptops too often, so any fixes make me nervous. But it should work, right?

Sweet!!! Reminds me of my dad and our trains. We never planned anything *that* elaborate, but someday I will get ours up and running and on display.

Sorry it's late but...

Hmm... I think I'll just buy one of the external numerical pads. That's probably the easiest. lol

Christmas was different with dad being gone. But it was nice nontheless. My brother and I did all the cooking, one of mom's friends came over for the day, the dogs and cats enjoyed their countless new toys. lol New Years was uneventful...just how I like it. My brother and I cooked up some wings and jalapeno poppers, made some queso, and had chips and dip and crackers and cheese for New Year's eve. For New Year's day lunch my mom, bro and I went to the Margaritaville Cafe. And just this past Saturday mom got me a Wii as a late Christmas present. So my brother and I have been glued to it ever since. haha

Hey sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys... It's a Gateway MX6445. It seems to be seated pretty well. I mean, I've had it since last April and this is the first time the keys have gone funky. And yes, it's the keys on top of the keyboard. I wish I had the separate numerica pad.

So as the subject heading says, two keys on my laptop keyboard intermittently stop working. It's the zero and nine keys. Just started about 2 days ago...no dust underneath, no liquids spilled, keys aren't loose. The girl I got the laptop from had replaced the keyboard just a few months before she gave it to me last March/April, so its not even quite a year old yet. It's driving me nuts when they stop working. Any ideas what the issue could be?

Anytime.

Welcome back, Dennis! And I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

And happy holidays to everyone!!

Happy Birthday Mudd! And many more to come!!

Hahahaha I love it!!!

He is! And he's such a little terror. He likes to attack while you're asleep. Such a booger haha

New one again. Hogwarts Castle at Islands of Adventure. Taken last night at the passholder after hours event that my friends and I went to.

Thanks everybody!! Nah didn't do anything special. Mom had planned a small birthday dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe but funds fell short so it's been put on hold till who knows when. My brother gave me a 50 dollar gift card though. And one of my friends gave me a 2 disc set of classic "scary" movies like the original House on Haunted Hill and such. And I did have happy birthday sung to me in the Esquelto Muerte scare zone at this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. It was awesome. haha

Oh you better go! It's beautiful down there.

I turned 31 Nov 1st.

Cool, thanks! I will definitely look for them. Beautiful kitties, btw.

New one. The pic was taken on the last night of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios with our new friend Alex, aka The Sentinel Guard.

I'll have to look for the Candy Canes. Between all the cat and dog toys we have now, I could run my own pet shop. lol But more can't hurt, especially if they help everyone get along! Hemmi is even tolerated by my oldest (and blind) cat, Squeaker. They eat and drink off the same plate sometimes. It's very cute. But when Hemmi tries to play with him, that's when things go awry, and rightly so. So we never leave them unattended together. He (she?) is doing good though. Starting to jump and climb and basically become a terror. But it's what kittens do. It'll pass.
