Due to the assorted delights and myriad of company over this longThanksgiving weekend, there's been no time to romp and play with the computer. At long last, things have wound down and it's time to catch up. What better place to start than with the...
1. How long do your Thanksgiving leftovers usually last, and at what's the first non-Thanksgiving item you begin to crave when you tire of turkey?
Depending upon the size of the crowd (this year's was huge) our leftovers last through Saturday and the remains of the turkey carcass and carefully saved pieces become a great big pot of wonderful turkey soup which we make on Sunday. After consuming turkey for several days, my system starts to think about something with beef.
2. Of the following, which would you most prefer to be located:
a) Interstate highway traffic jam
b) Slow-moving checkout line
c) Dentist's chair
b) Slow-moving checkout line
3. What is at the top of your personal Christmas gift wish list this year?
A new computer
4. What improvement would you most like to see added to AOL's Journal software?
The ability to copy and paste previously written and saved material onto the "journal entry" format. If there's already a way to do this, I haven't figured it out yet and would love it if someone could enlighten me.
5. What seasonal movies do you most look forward to this time of year?
"A Christmas Carol" , the Alastair Sim version; A Christmas Carol", the George C. Scott version; "A Christmas Story" with Ralphie and the gang
6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #33 from Tara: What is your favorite classic 80's video game?
This form of entertainment was never my thing; updated and new-fangled games of today are still not for me. I recall Tetris being the one game I tried a few times but didn't do very well with it.

I almost always compose my journal entries is "Word," and then copy and paste them into my journal. You can't copy and paste pictures, but you can do it with text. I like to do this for two reasons: a.)Sometimes when you are in the "Add entry" screen too long, it just freezes, and then won't save your entry...or loses it somewhere in cyber-space when you hit "save," and b.) It gives me a greater variety of fonts to work with. Lisa :-]
Now mom...I have shown you this one before ;)
Once you have typed your whatever in Microsoft Works, word or notebook (wherever) take the curser to the top of the article. Left click on your mouse and drag it all the way to the end of what you have written. ( do not let go of the left button until you are at the end of the article.) once at the end, let go, it should all be highlighted in black now. Hit the Ctrl button and the letter "c" at the same time. Now minimize (or close) that screen, open up the journal screen ( or where you want to move it to) and once you are on the fresh page with a blinking cursor, hit Ctrl and the letter "v" at the same time and TA-DA there it is!!! You can only copy one thing at a time this way, but it is quick and easy :)
