Heavy load for a thread to bear.

So bored at work, I lurked the imponderables thread. Nearly posted over there, too, but for the fact that the effort required would have violated loafissitude.

Seryn: hope yer feeling better.

Someone: pass me the remote, would ya? And maybe another pillow?

*Phew*

Gotta relax now. All this typing has been so draining.

*passes remotes and pillows*

yes - i is learning to control my grumpiness - i'll save it all up for someone who deserves it.

I had blue hands yesterday! eviiiiil me...

we were forced to clean shelves (we had work experience girls in, so we we're forced to act as though we gave a ****) but i can't use the dust cloths cause the skin on my hands (not to mention face and any other exposed bits) gets horrendously itchy. so with no white paper towels available - blue it was.

blue hands time! all i needed was a suit and some menacing sunglasses.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

I was wondering when we were going to get a new thread.

Guess what? We had freezing rain last night. Everything's covered in ice, including my car, but excluding the roads, so that's good. It's still raining and it's above freezing now. Didn't stop everyone from freaking out and cancelling or delaying schools. Government employees get to come in late and everything.

And I found out the county has 10 snow plows. 10 for the whole county.

Which would amount to nine more than is possessed by the entire city of Vancouver, B.C., which is in Canada.

I think the primary signifier of a Canadian is the utter lack of self awareness.

Well, considering the images of everyone else would also be reflected, it could cause problems.. considering current lack of attire...

I bet the pomegranate stuff would be good mixed in with fruit juices. Like with cranberry instead of vodka for a version of a cape cod.

I also think it'd be better cold then room temp as I tried it.

I was thinking of going really fruity with it, maybe the parrot bay passion fruit then maybe like a sprite or 7-up. I don't know. I'm playing. I really wanted to try the honey stuff too, but not this time. Honey + Pomegranate + passion fruit?
Have you tried the Black Currant liquor yet?

Spacey is okay for brief periods. Unless you're talking about Kevin Spacey, he's pretty good for longer periods. I worry more about people the longer they're out there though. I'm a worrier, It's genetic, I get it from my mum.

I think I own the world's loudest printer. You can hear it printing through the whole house. But, I got done with that annoyance and now my DVD player is making a horrible racket, I can barely hear the DVD!!!

*sigh* Even though they're both working just fine, I guess the noise means I need a brand new shiny uber-expensive printer/faxer/copier/hairdress and a brand new DVD player/recorder/HD whateverthehellnewfangledcrap they're coming out with these days.

*Citizen turns to leave, stepping on a cunningly placed rake smacking himself square in the face, he staggers backwards landing first one foot then the other in paint tins. Whirling around he staggers backwards before falling down and rolling backwards at high speed. He hits a pillars somersaults upwards knocking his head. Shakily he returns to his feet and starts to stagger away before slipping on the paint oozing from the two tins and flying down the staircase like an insane out of control slalom.*

Citizen, I need your tech help. I'm trying to use my microphone on my computer. I realized I'd muted it in the control panel. Now I see why. Anytime it's not muted, I get this annoying little whine from the speakers. just a 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' noise. Any thoughts on fixes, other that leaving it muted and only de-muting it when I use it?

How far away from the speakers is it? It might be feedback.

Unfortunately, it's not that. The noise continues no matter how far the mic is from the speakers, even if I unplug the mic. the only thing I've found that stops it, is ticking the mute box on Microphone, in advanced sounds and audio devices properties.

Right click on My Computer and select manage from the drop down list. Computer management window should appear, on the left hand side select device manager.

Are there any devices listed with a yellow question mark icon? If so what are they called?

Also what is the make and model of your sound card and microphone? The sound card can be found through the device manager under Sound/video and game controllers or through the sounds and audio devices menu in the control panel if you don't know

Another thought:
in the start menu hit run and type sndvol32.exe into the box to bring up the volume settings.

Go to options and click Advanced controls, also select properties and recording under the adjust volume for panel and hit OK.

Select under microphone should be ticked. There should also be an 'Advanced' button. Hit that. What have you got under other controls? Also if mic boost is selected deselect it.
