At least you got some exercise indoors in this weather. I'm used to waiting two or three hours at the doctor's, but with only people with appointments earlier than mine going in ahead of me. When I moved here ten years ago, there were two doctors. Now there are four, but the population has increased more than fifty per cent. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed staying home in the snow/sleet/freezing rain yesterday, seeing the four inches of snow on the Jeep and knowing I didn't have to clean it off. Today it's melting and I have to make up for it. <BR/><BR/>Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-51055075982262284752008-12-17T07:57:00.000-07:002008-12-17T07:57:00.000-07:00Linda - glad you are enjoying the snow!

So we chatted a little, and while she was actually in with the doctor, I walked around the hospital (not touching anything, of course! That place is FULL of sick people!)<BR/><BR/>dfLeah - I will have to do some checking of that kind, too. I know I muted it on one program that was playing really annoying music, but the little icon says it is back on. <BR/><BR/>Javachick - I've been noticing you aren't having the greatest weather out there, but it could be worse, right?<BR/><BR/>Missicat - I will have to check the various ways it could be muted. <BR/>Rain? And not even freezing rain? Sheesh.... will this mean a brown Christmas for you?<BR/><BR/>Geo - oh yes, sitting and sipping tea in front a fire sounds really appealing! Unfortunately, I have to bring the wood in first, and wouldn't be able to relax, looking at the dust and animal hair all around me.... sigh.<BR/><BR/>Crabby - maybe you'll have a white Christmas, eh?

Check all the possible ways your speakers could be muted i.e. the volume and mute buttons on the keyboard, on any speaker remote control, the media player program you have, the computer proper, you get the idea. Playful pussycats can operate all kinds of things. I muted my speakers once for whatever reason, then forgot I'd done it. It was several minutes before I realized what I'd done and where I'd done it.<BR/><BR/>It's not too cold now, but we got fresh snow over night. Apparently, like you, we're in for it later.Leah J.
