You’re correct, but there’s probably an easier way.
All routers that I know of allow the wireless signal to be turned off via the setup screen, so you won’t have to potchke with disconnecting and reconnecting the cables.
(What you’re calling “lan” is a network cable.)
BTW, I don’t always get to post responses quickly, but I’ll usually try to do so within a day or two.
Occasionally I may miss something, but it’s OK for you to email me if you’d like to bring something I can be helpful with to my attention (no guarantees I’ll know the answer, obviously).
I strongly agree that staying in touch with good teacher(s) and/or principal(s) is important.
Staying in touch with high school friends is also important.
Why wasn’t Bin Laden armed?(
Because he was on his way to a costume party, and he was going as Venus de Milo.

BTW, I thought Whirlpool/Maytag was funny…
So did I, and the “Suffolk” one, too.
I was writing quickly and forgot to acknowlege it – sorry.
Hallel has even more if you count all the “amein”s – ve’hamayvin yovin (OK, corny).
BTW, you must be great at crossword puzzles – you got most of the answers on quite a wide variety of topics.

B”N, but I’m not sure when.
If you go to earlier pages on this thread, you’ll find “ronrsr” and “haifagirl” (and possibly others) have also supplied homemade word games.
Regardless of what the level of security on your router is, you also need a firewall on your PC itself. This way, even if an outsider gets onto your network, your PC will still be protected.
Use WPA encryption on your router, have a firewall and up-to-date antivirus and antispyware programs on your PC, and you should be safe from break-ins.
===============================================
All routers that I know of can have their setup screens accessed thru a browser-based interface.
The included programs are to make things easier for people who may not be technical.
Once you are on the setup screen, you will be able to change the routers IP address (for instance, if it conflicts with the modem, as mine did).

Wow.
That must have taken a long time to write and you clearly put your heart into it.
I wish you much hatzlocha.
The following nominee isn’t a light-hearted or funny post like many (most?) of the others here are, and it’s also somewhat lengthly, but it’s well worth your reading time.
Please see the original post on this thread:

I heard the Shalsheles Junior CD on while driving with the family on chol hamoed, and “Yafyafisa” is a fantastic song that the whole family really liked and kept replaying.
“Raninu” on the same CD is also an excellent song.
The Goq-
What a sad post.
Although she’s your niece and not your daughter, it brings to mind the quote “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child”.
Teens and young adults sometimes distance themselves from parents or other older relatives / acquaintances for reasons only they know, and in later years are sorry they did.
I think one of the most common feelings parents of teens have is regret about the way they behaved toward their parents and other relatives when they were teenagers themselves.
IY”H this will only be temporary, and she will be happy to have her uncle dance in the middle at her chasuna.
HIE-
Gut moed to you, too (and all others, as well).
Nice thread!
Agreed, 100%
I spoke to a San worker to thank him, and he said that they were working long shifts on Erev Yom Tov for the special additional pick-ups.
This is one more thing we have to thank the medina shel chesed for.
Is there a private room you can excuse yourself and go into to be by yourself?
If not, is stepping out, maybe just onto the porch, maybe for a short walk around the block something that can help?
Just knowing that you have an “escape” available can be a huge help in calming your anxiety and reducing your stress.
Panic attacks are very unpleasant – way beyond normal anxiety and apprehension, which may be what you’re experiencing.
If you actually experience full-blown panic attacks due to relatives’ Yom Tov proximity, and simply removing yourself from the premises isn’t an option or doesn’t work, you may want to speak to a professional for other ideas.
Obvious disclaimer:
I’m no pro, nor do I know you or your situation.
I’m just a poster trying to give some helpful advice based on conversations with a pro about panic disorders and their triggers.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t being serious, but just in case there’s even a little seriousness in your post (like a prior President, I don’t do nuance very well) , please refer back to this thread, where many posters quite clearly do care about you:

You’re very welcome – it’s my pleasure.
Hope it’s something you and your family like.
Just a FYI – the “Pesach cholent” recipes usually have it cooked in a pot or crock pot, the kugel varieties, such as this recipe, will use an oven and baking pan.
real-brisker-
Thank you for the kind words.
In actuality, the number of helpful posters is staggering; whether it comes to how-to info, situational advice, professional recommendations, commiseration and sympathy, a shoulder to cry on, ego-boosting, recipes and cooking advice, and many other categories.
I myself have been given helpful advice/info by several posters – just as an example – on the VHS to DVD thread I started, among them “Sacrilege”, “WIY”, “Dr. Pepper”, “squeak”, “DanUk”, “mybat”.
Also, the time “Dr. Pepper” took to explain (and quite well) math principles, Rabbi “PM” took to explain hilchos Shabbos, “Joseph” and “oomis1105” took to give their advice and opinions about offering rides.
Also, “charliehall” with his encyclopedic knowledge of history and politics, “anon for this” and her wide range of knowledge on books, columnists, etc, “Moderator-80” and his ever-vigilant efforts to keep things on the up-and-up, “YW Moderator-72” for his past efforts, all the other moderators who are more in the background, “YW Editor” whose brainchild this site is, “bpt” with his pragmatic and friendly posts, and “squeak” with his experience and knowledge on a broad variety of subjects are appreciated.
This is just scratching the surface, as I greatly enjoy many of the young energetic posters and especially all of the simchos (their own and their contemporaries) that they post about.
(Sorry for any omissions, but the day is too short and my memory too faulty to mention all deserving parties here.)
In short, a list of favorite posters is like a list of favorite potato kugels – there are so many great ones, there’s no way to acknowledge them all.

You can find a recipe we like posted here:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/flanken-kugel#post-192794
It and similar recipes are also sometimes called “Pesach Cholent” for obvious (non-kitniyos) reasons.

I don’t have anything to say that directly addresses your post, but here are a couple of thoughts:
1) You’re a very good writer.
2) When having troubling / disturbing thoughts, posting and discussing in the blogosphere can be helpful to an extent, but it’s usually better to discuss things that are causing you angst with someone in the real world (which you may well already be doing).
Hope you’re OK; as Rav Scheinberg shlita says, “Keep smiling and keep going”.
anon for this-
My pleasure – I hope the recipe book is good.
This question has been addressed in several threads.
This post, and the URL within it that points to illustrated step-by-step direction for installing Hebrew on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7, is the most helpful:

anon for this-
Today’s (March 27, 2011) NY Daily News web site has an article about a new Gluten-Free cookbook.
The title is “Gluten-Free on a Shoestring” by Nicole Hunn, published by Da Capo Lifelong Press.
If you Google search the article’s title, “Gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies” on the NY Daily News’s website you should find it.
(I think posts with direct links are being rejected, so I can’t post the URL here – sorry.)

Parents fighting is the toughest thing in the world for kids to witness.
This is even true for older kids, much more so for younger ones.
If you don’t allow your kids to go, they may feel that they had to choose between their Abba/Tatty and Ima/Mommy, and feel very guilty for having hurt their father.
As painful as it will be for you (and I am not minimizing your tzar at all), your kids will probably be much better off if they know they can do something good for and show love to one parent without betraying the other parent.

If a doctor gives you advice you’re not happy with, or simply says “I don’t know” about your problem’s cause, a second opinion from another doctor/dentist is the most obvious course of action I’d take.
Refua shelaima.

You’re one of the nicer posters here – careful with what you have to say so as not to denigrate or upset others.
It’s a shame if and when posters like you decide to leave.
Nothing’s perfect; even with vigilant moderating, sometimes things slip thru – often unintentionally.

I suggest that you go to a hardware store and buy passage doorknob sets (no lock in the handle) for about $10.00 – $12.00, and privacy doorknob sets (simple lock in the handle, such as for a bathroom) for about $12.00 – $15.00.
These are quite simple to change – you may need to do minimal chiseling for the tongue, but the knob hole is standard, and the old strikeplate will probably work fine.
If you (or a friend/relative) buys the hardware and you change it yourself, your appreciative landlord will probably be more than happy to deduct the cost from your rent.
(If he isn’t I’m sorry you’re stuck with that type of landlord.)
There are some things that the average car owner can do themselves, but changing headlights, taillights, turn signal bulbs and hazard bulbs may or may not be among them.
Different models of vehicle may have bulbs that are simple to access (like the OP’s), or may require a bit of disassembly and reassembly.
If you want to know the work involved for your particular vehicle, just google it. You’ll almost definitely find detailed step-by-step info, and even video directions for the required work.
I strongly recommend the children’s computer games made by Humongous.
That includes the Putt-Putt, Fredi Fish, Pajama Sam, and Spy Fox series.
I bought these in the mid-late 90’s for the kids, and still have most of the games.
They are fun, non-violent, cute and imaginative. All kids from about 4 thru 13 (and some older) really enjoy them.
I don’t know if they are still available, since IIRC Humongous was bought up by Atari several years ago.
Oh, and to address the initial post – solutions can easily be Googled, or just hit the F1 key within the game, and a help menu which has how-to and solution info appears.
Gut Shabbos.
Ah freilichen Purim.
