{{{{{{{{good healing vibes}}}}}}}

Thanks very much for the good vibes, I just got a call from my wife at the hospital. She says they did a whole bunch of tests and they figure what happened is she passed a kidney stone, but with the cyst where it was it made it a whole lot more painful. She is on her way back home now.

I had to take my wife, Fiona, to the hospital last night for abdominal pains. She had been diagnosed before with a cyst on one ovary the size of a silver dollar and was in the process of ultrasounds, so we figure it is something to do with that. When I last saw her at the hospital (she subsequently sent me home) she was feeling less worse than she was before but is still in the examination process. Any good healing vibes you nice folks could send her way would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help, it fixed the first issue. The second issue is not the default homepage for the browser, I know how to change that. The problem is which browsing program is the default. Somehow it got set to this Rogers browsing program, I want the default browser changed to Internet Explorer.

1) somehow, the little "Show desktop" button in the menu bar on our computer, the one you click on and it minimizes all the windows to show the desk top, has disappeared. Any ideas how to bring it back?

2) the default browser on my PC got switched to this Rogers/Yahoo browser, which is cumbersome and takes forever to come up. I want to switch it back to Internet Explorer, so that any time I click on a URL that is in an e-mail, it will come up in IE and not the Rogers/Yahoo browser. I have searched all through control panel but can't figure out how

to change it.

Any ideas?

FYI, the PC is currently running XP, if that matters.

Happy birthday from Fiona and myself

Anyone know how much tickets in Ottawa are?

I actually proposed to my wife at a screening of Detroit Rock City.

A tap on the head?

I saw a 3 hour concert of just drums from Marco Minneman, Terry Ted Bozzio and Chad Wackerman ... it was beyond awesome.

I was going to put together a stage musical version of Pulp Fiction but couldn't get the rights.

I am a currently unoccupied singer still looking for a gig ... I don't play any instruments, though.

About frickin' time

Wow that's pretty thorough RNB. You edited your original posting, in which you asked "who did More than a Woman", didn't you?

Actually, I just edited because I looked it up in my Bee Gees boxed set and was reminded that "If I Can't Have You" was also the b-side to Staying Alive

"More Than A Woman" was by the Bee Gees.

"More Than A Woman" was written by the Bee Gees, but was included in two versions on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, once performed by the Bee Gees and once by Tavares (it is the Tavares version that is playing in one of the scenes where Travolta is in the dance school). It is one of two songs that appear twice on the soundtrack, the other being "If I Can't Have You", also performed by writers The Bee Gees (although it doesn't seem to appear on the album it is in the movie and on the Bee Gees boxed set, as well as being the B-side of "Staying Alive") as well as Yvonne Elliman (yes, Mary Magdalene, that Yvonne Elliman, although it was apparently written originally for Abba).

Not to be challenged in his Bee Gees/Saturday Night Fever knowledge

Weird little crack from the New Pornographers set about the KC's Boogie Bash, saying "I didn't know KC And The Sunshine Band did 'More Than A Woman'." Ummmm, they were backing up Tavares, who *did* do 'More Than A Woman'.

One disc of a large multidisc torrent is missing ... anybody know how I can set the bit torrent settings so I can just dl the one disc and don't have to dl the whole thing?

hey Rob, it was great to see you. unfortunately, I couldn't make it back to that spot. That crowd came in like a superstorm.

I have a photo of you in your hat. Can I post it?

Post away, chief.

Roseanne's bass player was in the reconstituted Roxy Music.

He played Renfield in Dracula. He was also in Short Cuts and At Play In The Fields Of The Lord.

I want to slap the person responsible for scheduling the Grande Mothers and Dickey Betts at the same time.

Of all the Bluesfests I've been to, this has been by far the *worst* for schedule conflicts.

Am I the only one who caught Mobile's rendition last night of "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun"?

Cool, I helped put the first one together a couple of years ago ... who all is playing?

Sigh ... I worship Mark Kozelek, huge Red House Painters fan, and his performance was ... well, odd. When I closed my eyes and just drifted along with the music it was so beautiful and wonderful, but looking at him he seemed quite uncomfortable , the sound of Big Jeezus Truck from the Blues Til Dusk stage really seemed to throw him (when he was playing the audience couldn't hear the other stage but he could). After playing for 45 minutes he said a very quick "thank you" and left the stage and that was it. I chatted with him briefly after the gig, he was friendly but didn't say much. I felt like I had just seen Nick Drake.

Son Volt kicked ass and were seriously freaking loud. High energy show , I'll bet it was louder than the main stage. The new songs were pretty cool.
