FOUR FOR FRIDAY
Q1 - Safety: When it comes to your own personal safety, where do you feel the safest? In the comfort of your own home, in your office or work environment, while driving a car, when youíre out on a walk or hike close to home, when backpacking in the backcountry, when visiting a relative in their home, when out shopping, at the movie theatre, etc.?
Q2 - Tech Support: Does anyone know where my friend and co-worker Greg can get a TXTSetup.oem file for driver configuration of a Via Technologies SCSI controller and associated hard drive (which as I am told is all part of the Dell Optiplex GX270 system)?
Q3 - Shoelaces: How often do you change your shoelaces? Only when one of them breaks, when they're dirty, never? If you do replace one when it breaks, do you replace both at the same time or just the one that broke?
Q4 - Floral Arrangements: Who was the last person you either sent flowers to or received flowers from, and what was the occasion?

q1: I feel safe in most places. Home and work are probably the tops.
q2: No can help.
q3: I replace laces only if they are broken and they are too short to tie. If only the end brakes and I can still tie them I keep them on.
q4: I got some for my wife for Valentines day. Aren't I wonderful?
1 Safety - At my parent's house in Idaho. They live on a small farm where I grew up and wandered all around without any fears even as a little kid. Just a quiet, peaceful place surrounded by nice people. Very safe and comfortable.
2 Tech Support - Not sure how ethical it is, but I hear you can find just about anything on mininova.org.
3 Shoelaces - Never change them. But once in kindergarten we were given a small piece of licorice rope, that was about the size of a shoelace. I thought it was a shoelace, so I quickly put it in one of my shoes and started showing everyone how cool it looked in my shoe. I was pretty embarassed to see everyone else eating theirs!
4 Flowers - I think the last time was for my wife when she finished her first year in her master's program, which was in May.
Q1- I feel the safest when I am in the company of those who I love; especially my daughter Kwynn. It could be in my home, the home of my parents, or at Quiznos.
Q2- Quiznos, Greg...duh
Q3- I change shoelaces more often than most. It is my form of journal. For more information and for a more specific answer, go to:

Q4- I was included in a group that received flowers from a business client this past week. Besides that...I gave flowers to my wife (at the time) about 3 months ago. Needless to say, she is now my x-wife now...Flowers don't mean crap.

Call Dell for the driver. Chances are they'll just email it to you... they've got REALLY good customer service most of the time.
Safety: There is no question that I feel safest in my own home. Even if I'm there alone, there is something about knowing you are in your own home.
Tech Support: I don't know what the heck any of that means. I am a lot of things, but a computer guy is NOT one of them.
Shoelaces: Very rarely do I have to change my shoelaces. My shoelaces don't wear out very quickly because I tie my shoes lose enough for me to slip them on and off with out tying and untying them every time. But when I do change them, I change both of them at the same time.
Floral Arrangements: My wife and I have recently moved into a new house which meant a TON of work on her part as far as packing and unpacking goes. I sent her flowers as a kind of "Thank you" for doing such a great job. That was about a week ago. She loves daisies so I sent a daisy arrangement.
1. The answer for me is definitely in my home, I definitely think of it as my haven.
2. Since I asked, I clearly don't know :)
3. I will usually have shoes for so long, that they're kinda ratty by the time the lace breaks, and hence I just grab some random string, other broken shoelaces, or whatever, and tie them together for a new lace and don't bother with the one that's still working fine.
4. That would be Valentine's Day for my wife, meaning I'm probably due up again by now.
1. Safety: Tough one. Probably my home, because it's a very quiet neighborhood. So quiet, we never get any trick or treaters on Halloween. In 3 years, we've had one. Plus, I keep a cane with this sweet Marine Corps ball on the end by my bed. That'll put the hurt on anybody that tries to take advantage of my sweet body.
2. Tech Support: First thing I'd try is Dell support. Barring that, IRC.
3. Shoelaces: I don't think I've replaced shoelaces since I was 3 or so. I don't think I've broken shoelaces since I was 6. In that case, I just tied the two broken ends back together.
4. Flower Arrangements: Sent flowers to my wife about 3 years ago. The special occasion was that she complained that I never give her flowers.
1. I usually feel safest when I am home. It is comfortable and I know what's what. Although, I get a little freaked out at night if I am home alone. I generally feel safe wherever I am, but I have been told that one can never be completely safe.
2. Um, what? No.
3. If I need to change a broken shoelace I will change both at the same time, even if only one needs changing, otherwise you have one clean lace and one dirty lace. Anyhow, the only shoes I have that require laces are my sneakers and I've had the same laces for about 5 years - they are synthetic and don't seem to break.
4. Hmm...I'd have to say, the last time I received flowers was back in April, for a "job well done" where I was working at the time. I must say, I do enjoy a nice bouquet every now and again.
Q1: Probably safest in my own home and at work, oh wait, I work at home ;).
Q2: F$T%WF @@H*( that's what Q:2 looked like to me, so I guess I can't help ya there ;).
Q3: I rarely replace my own shoe laces, the shoe usually wears out before the lace, how sad is that? But if I do need to replace one lace, I do both just so one doesn't look all shiny and clean and the other all old and dingy.
Q4: I sent flowers to a friend (as part of a group of other friends) about 1.5 years ago. My friends brought me flowers last month, aww. My husband, the liar that he is, sent me flowers about 4 years ago, not three as he said ;), and that was only the second time in the 11 years we have been together :P.
1. I feel safest at work. Probably because it's daylight, security camera and guards are here along with a lot of people.
2. Huh?
3. I only change shoelaces when one breaks. And I would change both laces at the same time to make sure they are twins!
4. The last person I sent flowers to was my mom for her birthday. I wish someone would send me flowers!!!!!!!!!
Q1 - I totally feel safest at home. I rarely feel UNsafe, mind you, but there are times at work when there are strange people wandering around (REALLY strange, not just unknown) that freak me out a bit. The others have moments of uncertainty, but I know I haven't felt unsafe in this house.
Q2 - I'm sure there's someone out there who can. I can't.
Q3 - I change 'em in the rare event of a break. I haven't broken a shoelace in about ten years, since I almost never wear shoes with laces.
Q4 - The last I sent were probably for Mother's Day. The last I received...no clue, maybe Mother's Day. It's been awhile....
Q1 I'll feel safest when the government removes its infringements on the 2nd amendment and as long as I got Mr Smith and Mr. Wesson by my side.
So I found the TXTSETUP.OEM file...

1. I'd have to say home, but unless I'm being actively threatened I tend to feel safe anywhere.
2. I'd be saying pretty please to the fine folks at Dell.
3. When they break, and always the pair. What's the point of replacing just one? It's always very noticeable, and what the heck are you going to do with the remaining shoelace from the new pack? Throw it away or shove it in the junk drawer?
4. To? The woman who cuts my hair for squeezing me in for a cut and highlight the day before an unexpected date.
Q1 - I feel safe at just about any place. Being a "certified" deadliest man on the planet, it usually other people that don't feel safe when I am around. ;)
Q2 - Nope.
Q3 - Whenever my shoelaces break I get a new pair of shoes. Changing shoelaces is just too much work.
Q4 - Mothers day for my wife a year ago. She hates flowers and didn't appreciate it. Which is cool by me, I don't really appreciate flowers either. So now I give her a gift instead that she can take back and get what she really wants.
