Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

I see that Bisto is sometimes used in the preparation of Bangers and
mash.........all should know that I have a supply of Bisto in my pantry and
use it when cooking a pot roast and a variety of other meat items. Good
stuff.
Heirloom, old and hmmmm, Bisto chili, hmmmmm

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

I beg your pardon, Figglet. Do a search for my previous posts and you will
find the use of "whilst" in a number of them.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

Doing much better, thank you, Joanie. The swelling is down to the point I
can almost get a shoe on! Still some pain, but, it is subsiding. Color is
still far from normal....unless I am part black. If the lawsuit comes to
fruition, I am sure it will feel a LOT better!

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

I explained that in my earlier post, <H>. Simply turn on your monitor,
without turning on the cpu....you can leave everything connected. Your
monitor should have some sort of screen saver built in that will inform you
that you "have no signal" and "the monitor is working properly"....usually,
a small window of varying colors that moves around on the screen.
Additionally, you should have access to the menu of settings which includes
the color adjustments, skew, brightness, contrast, etc. If these menu
items and the screen saver message are of proper color, then the problem is
with something other than your monitor, i.e. the video cable, the
connections or the video card and/or the integrity of its' seating. If the
color is okay in the monitor only test, try first reconnecting the video
cable at both ends. If this does not help, then try 'reseating' the video
card (taking proper precautions of disconnecting power and grounding
yourself to the case or suitable ground so as not to destroy any static
sensitive devices).

If the color is out of whack in the monitor only test, you have a bad
monitor and, as stated by someone earlier, don't waste your money getting a
CRT fixed. Bite the bullet and get an LCD....they are getting pretty cheap
now. If the video cable is at fault, you can 'usually' reproduce the
symptoms by moving or wiggling the cable and connections. If this fails to
help, you are left with swapping the video card.....they, too, are getting
pretty cheap.......you could probably find someone that will give you one of
their old 32 or 64Meg cards that is still working well.

Suggest you go back through the pertinent portions of this thread, all the
suggestions seem to have been valid.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

Whilst I seldom use the word "whilst", I do like and frequently employ the
word "whence".

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

That's why God made peppers........
Heirloom, old and I've got something that would
spice the paint off your walls.

Question of the day: How can you tell if Figgy is wearing panty hose??
Answer: Feed her a bowl of my chili......if, after an hour, her ankles are
swollen....she's wearing panty hose.
Warning: Don't be in a closed room with her if she loosens the
waistband...run, call Hazmat and the EPA.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

No way!! Holidays derives from "holy days"......your word just derives
from "leaving your house/work/wife/etc". (as in vacate).

We of the nobility take holy days.......commoners vacate.

Mary, Queen of Canada.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing



Heirloom:

When turning on the 'Monitor only', nothing happens. The screen stays dark
and empty, without any life whatsoever. Hence my 'ignorance'.
As things stand right now, I'm going to wait for the next 'computer show'
and get a new LCD Monitor, which will be some time late in September.
Meanwhile I can live with the intermittently missing red color, which BTW.
isn't all that bad. Appreciate your help a whole lot, H, thank you.

Harry.

Re: The Color 'Red' is missing

Hey you two.....Elayne is the photographer on our holidays. Ron just
wears the camera around his neck so he can "play tourist"...lol.

I did up a couple more of my "creations" and I will only charge Mikey
twice the price. For postage, of course. Now that I am on a bit of a
roll, must get back to it. I had to go out for bits and pieces
yesterday so that I could finish up what I had there.

This is one expensive hobby, but I am constantly amazing myself when
something I agonize over turns out so good. Elayne has put her order in
for a friend. So have to make that one up.

Cheers....the Queen of Diamonds

What are you doing with seed beads and bugles?? Embroidering with them?
Or making jewellery. (Americans spell it 'jewelry'.....another
bastardized word!!

What's so holy about a vacation? You take a vacation from work and vacate
the office, or go on vacation from home and vacate your home. If a holiday
is really a holy day, then going on vacation and saying you're going "on
holiday" doesn't make sense unless your vacation is a visit to a holy place
or for a religious purpose, eh?

I don't think I've heard anyone say whilst lately. I believe wherever that
word would fit, we'd just use while.
"you" is one of our regional words. Depending on where you're from, you
might refer to a group of people as:
you
you people
you all
ya'll
you'uns
y'uns
yous

I thought you could spot a Brit by the krumpets they eat.

Other regional oddities:
Someone takes the last of something and says "it is all"
You "turn out" the light
You "are fixing to" do something (getting ready)

Heirloom

If Harry's screen is a CRT, it will not show any information
i.e. no screensaver or "Have no signal".

Keerist, you are such an ignorant dolt!! I said....."the word holiday
is from old english for 'holy days'.....and for your information, my
holiday in Portugal consisted of visiting a lot of "holy places". They
are called "churches and cathedrals and basilicas".

We refer to our vacation time as our Holidays....period!! You got a
problem with that?? You seem to have a problem with anything any of us
say on this group, so why not do us all a favour and take a hike!! We
could quite happily do without your stupid, arrogant comments and
arguments.

PS....Crumpet is spelled with a "C".....and it is not to be compared to
your Krispy Kreme donuts which are quite ghastly, to say the least.
