Yay.  I like it when things work out. 

Cute!

Thanks to the generosity of a good person, I am most likely going to be there as well, though I will be solo.  Zurf, I am seriously considering bringing the Martin as well.  I too can sleep anywhere.  Beach, floor, couch, bed, I'm not picky.  Though if I'm sleeping on the beach, we'll have to stop at the liquor store on the way back from the airport. 

I moved your post woopii, I think the folks in the recording section can help you out more with xfering a music format than those that visit the song requests forum.    Good luck and welcome to Chordie.

JJJ - My daughter with Autism has a difficult time turning her mind off to relax at night enough to get to sleep.  Melatonin works wonders to help her relax.  It's available in pill or liquid form.  It's not a "drug" but instead a natural item available with the vitamins in the stores (yup, even the Grocery Store Carries it, right by the multivitamins).  I've taken some when I've had a particularly revved up day (extremely stressed, after having insomnia for several days on end due to insane life circumstances not allowing my brain to shut down) and knew there was no way I was going to go to sleep.  It does help.  Try it, see if it helps you out at all.  It's not expensive.  It won't keep you asleep all night, but it'll help your mind go into relax mode which will maybe help you get some sleep.  Unlike a sleeping pill, it doesn't "knock you out".  You don't wake up feeling groggy even if you wake up a few hours later either.

You've got a LOT on your plate right now.  Way more than most of Chordie's members problems all put together.  Sleepless nights are only going to make everything worse.  Try something, you NEED sleep so you can have a clearer head to try to get by each day.  Of course, a good solid breakdown alone will also help.  You deserve a moment to feel whatever you are feeling, so you can get through this.  ((HUGS))

Oh man, that's so crappy!  I'm sorry JJJ.  I can only imagine what you, she and the kids are going through with this news.  What is the plan of attack on the cancer?  I imagine with the osteo-arthritis being as bad as it is that it limits the types of treatment she can get.  Keep us updated.  We're here as a place to vent and receive support of course.  Blessings for you and yours.

I just use facebook 99% of the time for my pictures.  You just have to make sure that the pictures you want to share on Chordie are set on facebook as Public.  Otherwise, picasa web albums works well, and it's an extension of google so you just use your google log in for that.  If you need more help, let me know, you can even send me an email and if it's just a few pics for Chordie I'll put them into my album for you and put them on here.

Alpina - CONGRATS!  Love my Martin.    Excellent choice!

Hang in there JJJ - it's a tough road for certain!  I hadn't been playing much either and each time things get to the point where I stare at the guitar and wonder... I remember what it does to help me out when things are so rough and I pick it up if only for one song.  That generally tends to help prime me for the next time.  You need a little down time too, and I imagine your wife would agree.  Don't wear yourself too thin.  I'm sure that's far easier said than done of course.

There's a lot of "tricks" to getting the phone working on the cable company's end.  It's highly likely that the person who set it up in the computer didn't do everything right.  You'll have to get someone on the line that has a brain.  Also, you have to go through an authorization process with a different company - if that didn't go "perfectly" your phone service won't go through and they'll have to have you go through it again.  If you're stuck at that point, make sure the cable company tells you EXACTLY how they spelled your name and address in the system before they transfer you to the third party for authorization.  That's usually the number one reason phone service doesn't go through if everything else is right (and everything else is usually NOT right in the system).  I'm sure it's the computers and poor training of the folks on the other end of the phone, not you.  Also, they have to have already sent a tech out to remove a physical filter in your line outside.  Someone may have forgotten to order that as well.  There's so many things that can go wrong with setting up phone service.  I wasn't trained right, but figured most of it out eventually.  In the mean time, I was being reprimanded for not "selling" enough phone service, all because every one I tried to set up didn't go through (because of the poor training).  THAT is why I quit that job before they fired me for their stupidity.  Sadly, all the cable companies are the same (and guess what?  75% of the people you talk to on the phone aren't even working directly for the company but instead for a third party company - outsourced - and that's why their training sucks.  I'm a perfect example.) 

To be honest, the people who USUALLY can fix it for you are those in the sales department because they can override a lot of the computer codes... unfortunately, getting someone from sales on the line after you've been sold is difficult as they'll undoubtedly want to transfer you to tech support.  Again, GOOD LUCK!!!  Maybe my insight can help you navigate the BS. 

Yeah, there's no WPA button on your computer itself.  You may need to open up the thing about setting up a new network and walk though that, tell it you're using the button on the router and push it when the computer tells you to.  Good luck!  If the router isn't from comcast then they will NOT walk you through it for free (unless the tech is nice).  Let us know how you make out.  If you don't get it and still need help shoot me an email and I might be able to help you out sometime tomorrow. 

There is no cure.  The best I can say is, just try not to spend everything on Guitars because you will need to buy a little food to eat and keep a roof over those babies!
