Not to mention some of the highest taxes in the nation, and less pay for the same jobs!

On another, more happy, note, is your wine in?

Thanks. It'll be a while before I get back to the Twin Cities - try not to drink it all before I get there!

Well I have Cagirl number added, so at least I will know who is texting me.

Just 1 bottle, if I'm lucky!

Does anyone know if Napa wineries/tasting rooms are generally open on President's Day (Monday, 2/18)?

Thanks! I don't recall having this day off last year, but plan to make use of it this year.

Double blergh.

Major congestion all of a sudden. Ugh! I thought we bought an extra Afrin the last time the crud hit. Apparently, I used it all up! I'll have to cope through the night and then run out during the day at school tomorrow.

feel better!! My antibiotics have kicked in... just wish my headache would go away....

Is there any reason why I couldn't run a second wireless router off an ethernet switch.

Current setup: cable modem to wireless router. Wireless router plugged in to ethernet switch, which goes throughout the house. So, couldn't I plug a 2nd wireless router into the ethernet switch as long as it has a different IP address?

edit: I would love to get rid of the old router, but, for some reason, that's the only wireless system my wife's work computer will connect...

So sorry about your headache. Hope you can kick that soon! Glad the antibiotics have kicked in. Right now I am so stuffed up I can barely breathe! Netipot--here I come.

My old allergist would tell me to eat spicy foods and/or chew artic blast gum.... to clear your stuffy nose. I have been flushing my sinuses as well, should prob. be doing more often.... I hope you are able to get some rest!!

If you put the second router into "access point" mode where it doesn't do any NAT then you should be ok. So then you have modem plugged into router #1. Router #2 plugs into router #1 along with whatever else, but only serves as an access point, with router #1 assigning all IP addresses.

Why does it seem every time this cyber crud hits,I always seem to get it. Don't really have time for this right now.

And you apparently can't read, since the second one was him quoting joel and not cesare. Are you sure you haven't started drinking some of your wine? No wait, I haven't seen any pigs flying yet...

Especially since it was supposed to be Klez and not Klex on the first. I was dazed from lack of food!

And you can still get a lump of coal for your wedding present!

seriously, how can you confuse Cesare and me? I'm way taller.

and who knows what they might need after the wedding... coal could be a perfect gift for a new smoker.

A couple of days ago we got a case of Scott Harvey Zin delivered. Scott and Carla took care of us in a "no ship" state and gave us the woot price and a good deal on shipping.

Alas, the wine had frozen. Five bottles had protruding corks, including some through the foil.

We got an immediate response to an e-mail. I don't think Carla could have taken off her jacket before she replied. They are going to replace it all. "Don't want to risk it". Though this time, we are smart and asked to hold shipping until March.

What great treatment!! First, when they went out of their way to offer us a great deal, and then to back up a weather caused problem so quickly. We actually felt bad that it got damaged after how well we were treated.

I know I don't expect this kind of treatment in general. It seems to be the norm for the regular winemakers that offer here. But I don't take it for granted.

Scott and crew being above and beyond is so not a shock to anyone who has ever met them!

As an aside- when are we coming over, for the Glögg/Gløgg?

This is probably in that other thread, but for anyone who needs a Soiree

That's awesome! I was looking back through my "stuff you bought" page(s), and SH was a frequent name on the list...

Total bummer! Scott & Carla & Co are all awesome! I wonder when they sent it that it got stuck in the deep freeze? Whatever happened to those "refrigerated" trucks that also insulate against the cold?

They only use those for Summer Shipping.

And the Super Bowl is delaying some shipments for the New Orleans area too.

Back to CyberPub crud: I hope that the peeps who came up to Buffalo #10 are feeling fine and did not catch what I have! I went to school yesterday. Big mistake: eyes were watering, sneezes came frequently, nose was either totally stuffed or just plain running. NOT nice. No meds touched it. It just came on all of a sudden. Later, about 10 pm, a fever hit and so did the chills--101.6. I took some ibuprofen and off to bed I went. I am so glad that I bought an electric blanket a few weeks ago. That really helped a ton last night! By 3:30 am, the fever broke. I am home today. Slept until 10:30 and am just taking it easy. I plan on going back to bed at some point.

I hope I will be able to garner enough energy to attend a gala fundraiser that our dance studio is involved in to benefit Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I have so been looking forward to this--it's kind of like a local Dancing with the Stars--there will even be judges for the celebrities. One of the judges is the guy who judged our dancing last year.

Ours was direct from the winery using a third party shipper, since CT was no on the woot list. So likely just a regular UPS truck.
