My computer shows it's 11:58 pm, which allows me to prematurely wish

Alrighty...was it about 13-14 years ago, that Sci-Fi had a "Twin Peaks" marathon; alot of you were excited about this show. I asked & asked what it was about, buy nobody replied. (I can understand, little hard.)

Soooo, now with Netflix, I guess with the new to come "Twin Peaks", it's on NF.

I watched my first ep of "Twin Peaks".

I think the best part of the first 5-10 minutes was seeing (in different scenes), the would-have-been in-laws of George 'Can't Stand Ya". That cracked me up.

Just before watching it, I had seen 5 min. of "How I Met"...Robin was with her dad; then, he's on "Twin Peaks"!!!

Michael Oktean (sp) is always delightful. I read (oh, whats Anna Nardina's real name); took me a while to realize it was her (15 years is alot on a 25ish girl).

I'm going to watch another ep or two now.

So far, it's very good.

I haven't seen/heard of this, but, yes, it sounds bogus.

In the 'vein' of DS merchadise, remember the bobble heads?

(Please DON'T put back up the posting; alot of the newerish peeps wouldn't have heard of it). PLUS, I know 'some' were done, with 'others' going to be done.

I haven't heard of any in a while.

If I wanted a Barn bobble head (ha!), would you suggest Amazon? Did they DO Barn?

Thanks,

Patti

This is one of the 'quizzes' your friends take & post on FB.

Can You Identify These Classic TV Shows?

BTW, I wouldn't mind a few more DS (here) friends on FB.

Uh, was Dean Martin a family member also??

I started the upgrade to Win 10 about 4 hours before I left for work.
It stated it was about 11% done.
I made sure to put 'never' to sleep/standby, etc.
Came home; error message.
When I was at work, I saw I had five bars of service.
I may bring my laptop next weekend & ask the guy to try putting Office 2010 & Win 10 on.

Oh, BTW, when I saw the error msg, I went on to the FB page with 'phone/DSL' """"service""""".

The rep said, oh, it would be better if I attach my LAPTOP to my modem.

I replied, "Get a calendar", everyone everywhere is WIRELESS.

G....I don't want to get rid of my home phone. What I need to do though is get at least one CORDED phone; the batteries on cordless tend to die at inopportune times.

Okay, for DSL where I live, there is ONLY Windstream.

When I was doing college, I had purchased Office 2010, which was for 3 computers.

When I got my first laptop, I called & they were able to help me install it on here.

Recently, I had to (I forget, but Office went away).

I called, I was on phone for more than two hours. The rep said, just let it run. (They had done the thing where they were 'in charge' of my computer.)

That didn't work.

Started my job, finally called again. Again, more than two hours on phone, with them in my computer. It would go like this:

3 hrs., 24 min remain
7 hrs.,  9 min remain
two days, 3 hrs., 12 minutes
9 hrs.....

You get the gist. And this was all within a mere 1-2 minutes. The rep said let it run. I would look at it, and finally at some point, it actually was legit counting down. I looked, and there were mere seconds. So, I got my computer, and there was an error message.

Both times, the reps have said it's because the service is too slow.

On my FB, I belong to a group within my county, who is really getting screwed over. The worst is the county seat; they'll list where they wouldn't have PHONE SERVICE for hours, yet alone internet.

The latest rep had tried to see if, using my PC,  could copy the disk which came w/Office 2010 onto a USB (it kept popping out; I guess to protect itself from fraud...) Plus, the first and second times, I never needed a disk (my laptop doesn't have a disc insert).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really need Office.

Now, when I came on this evening, there was a message that I can upgrade to Win 10 (it says it the full deal, no trial, etc). But, I'm wondering, if I can't even install something like Office (which, I have PP, Excel, and Word), how can my whole system upgrade.

Help
