Cumbrian, I had a lot of trouble getting into the forum (almost half hour). Maybe others too. I'll resend the program to the email you sent me

I had trouble too, finally just closed the mozilla (firefox) window, waited 30min and now seems to be ok. Also had a firewall warning about a trojan but not infected.

Well, when I was in High School, I was voted “Miss Never a Dull Moment” and it looks like nothing has changed!
When we moved here, 29 years ago, this was a nice little country road, in a nice little country town (think Mayberry), no traffic, no nothing!
Don’t need to tell you that is not the case now.
Anyway, there used to be a little plumbing company across the road from us, owned by the man who live next door to it. Plumbers were gone all day, very, very quiet.
Fast forward – a while back (I don’t know -- 6 mos or more, who counts) a man rented this small building and put up a sign. Supposed to build and repair computers. He worked on Ft. Bragg and was trying to start up his own business. Good for him, right?

My husband gets up very early and today looked out and saw that every window over there was lighted and the place was surrounded by police and sheriff vehicles. Also, there was the yellow Crime Site tape all around! Another neighbor tried to find out what happened and was told, “Can’t say but it’s heinous and you’ll read about it in tomorrow’s paper”.
So it’s 9:20 pm as I type and they are still there! And there was even a sheriff’s car from another county there. Forensic people all over, everyone wearing booties, etc.
About an hour ago, there was a knock at the door and it was our local big deal TV reporter, Greg Barnes. He wanted to interview my husband (how long have you lived here, did you ever notice anything, etc). I was afraid that was going to happen. I don’t want anyone to know our business and what is happening where we live.
Here is what he said happened:
At 4 am, police went there on an ‘unrelated matter’ and the man there was very nervous and when they asked to go in, from another room they saw a woman’s head rise from a sofa. She had been kidnapped and was being held as a sex slave! She had been beaten and all other kinds of nasty things. Don’t know how long he had her.
But they have been over there so long (almost 18 hr. now and still going strong) that everyone is wondering if they aren’t digging up floors and walls!
Anyhow, something like this usually makes national news (CNN etc), so you might get to see the Old Man tonite or tomorrow. I’ve got the VCR timer set. I just wish I knew how to upload that to the computer!

More later

BTW: here is the link to our local newspaper: http://www.fayettevillenc.com/

ElaineRuth, that must be very upsetting. We'll watch CNN.

Hulabird and Cumbrian, is the program that you are talking about something for screen captures? I felt very badly this morning that I could not get a picture of Dad on the nest. I checked to see who was online at the time, but it looked like all of us who were on do not do screen captures. I am willing to try, if that is what the program is for.

Sarah, I enjoyed your whale and dolphin photos. The whale was so close that you were able to get a shot of the blowhole! We had that happen in Alaska, the whale came up right behind the boat, but the battery was done on my husband's camera. He missed the shot of a lifetime. I loved the tail pictures, too.

Harpo, great toilet saga/story today. :lol:

cdn-cdn/Cheryl, yes it is a program for PC's. As you know we have a Mac, and an old PC, and I capture on the Mac using the inbuilt program Grab. However we have just got a laptop and instead of searching again for a capture program Jann/Eagle Duo recommended this one that she is using.

So if you have a PC e-mail Debi/Hulabird and she will send you the information. If you have a Mac e-mail or PM us and we will walk you through that one.

Both are easy to use....and you will have fun too.

Don't feel bad about not being able to capture Dad.....we never know when he is going to turn up anyway....but it will be great if you can become one of the recruits....we need as many fingers as we can get....and you can practice before the rush starts. Although having said that Sunday and yesterday were quite Hectic!!!

I just read that a 4th firefighter has died and the 5th one has burns over 95% of his body. The fire was started at 1am by an arsonist and burned 10,000 acres in 12 hours.....now it is also murder. Such sick sick people out there!

Elaine, I am watching foxnews for word. My mom and dad actually used to live next door to the man who was eventually pegged as the "Zodiac" upon his death. Keep your doors locked and be thankful yu don't have those insidious trees blocking your view to malevelent people trying to get into your house.
