Yep, Nvidia card and its not wanting to play nicely. Boots up so far and then screen freeze. Has the GTX980 card in it and I don't think there exist Linux divers for it yet.

You're on Mint, right? Crawl the Mint and Ubuntu forums for issues with it. And maybe try unloading the Neuveaux driver for it, if that's what it's using.

I lucked out with her. She is younger, maybe pushing 30, and damn nice to look at too, and very smart. I use to do my own and just file standard deduction every year and heard I could declare mileage so stopped at her place on a whim and she got me back way more than I hoped for. Every year she amazes me.

I do ours online, because there is simply no conceivable way we could get anymore back than we currently do -- even if I add up every possible deduction like our mortgage interest and everything else I can think of... it doesn't even *come close* to the std deduction. Not even CLOSE. So I'm just happy to get back what we get. :D

I would like to run Mint but I have a few hurdles to clear first. Newer PC's have UEFI instead of Bios which tries to prevent you from running anything but Windows. I think I found a work around on that. Been scouring every place I can think of to find the answer.
I read last night that there is drivers for the GTX970 series video cards but I cant do what they suggest in order to make it work. They say to take out the video card and put one in in order to be able to access the new install, download and install the drivers and then reinstall the graphics card. If I take the cover off my new PC anytime in the next year I void the warranty so cant do that.

Not surprisingly, for diabetes, which I do not have yet. My pancreas has to be bizarre and I developed reactive hypoglycemia instead, which is very unusual without diabetes. That took a year to diagnose because my doctors kept testing me for heart and autoneurological problems instead. I was the only one who thought it was a blood sugar issue.

My out of pocket medical that I'm allowed to deduct adds up to more than $9k alone :(

My parents have that, too, with all their myriad problems. I *normally* have so little medical costs is one reason why it would be stupid to buy the insurance that we can't afford -- I'd never even meet the deductible, so it would be all out of pocket, just as it is now!

Well, my deductible just keeps going up :( However, I would not be able to afford my meds without insurance. Those cost more than I make.

I'm really glad you shared this information with us because I was getting a little worried that this thread was going "main stream" with all this talk of water heaters, computer problems and the like. No offense Fugees

I know. Y'all are letting the Gestapo at the other forum get complacent, thinking the rebellion is over. Maybe someone should post Prince's Darling Nikki in a Provari thread or something.

I think so... even on males who don't have them -- when our kitty first turned up, we think she was barely weaned, because if any of us held her, she'd start that "rooting" behavior at our chests -- though it was mostly our son who would hold her. Once she got used to milk in a bowl and some solids, she stopped.
