Ok, the silliest things make me happy... I finally found an mp3 of the Rurouni Kenshin opening I like!

"Cussing? What cussing? You mean F-bomb? Oh, that's not cussing."

Oh boy. She needs a run-in with my dad. He would straighten her out on that one right quick. But, she'd have him thrown in jail.

Nah, we're all know-it-alls who like to show off what we know.

For some reason, I seem to kinda like having all that know-it-all show-offiness around! Wonder what's up with that? Excel huh? LOL

[Corin Stormhands]

So...are you ready to be added to my homeschool ping list?

errr...not quite yet...

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, just be sure to ask 'em if you can FReep from work.

(good luck)

I admire them from a distance. It's good that there are people like the Amish in the world. And even better that I'm not one of them.

Hmmm--you think there's a market for Amish manga? :)

[Corin Stormhands]

Moo

Hey, it's not like taking someone to see Tron or something :)

Our first date consisted of me taking Marl to see 2001 in the first week of release. It was showing exclusively at the Cinerama theater in Detroit. In Cinerama.

I saw that version only once, but I remember clearly the door to HAL's innards was marked "core storage array". I remarked to Marl that I found it highly unlikely that they would be using core for memory 33 years in the future. She didn't know what I was talking about then, and she still denies knowledge of that subject to this day.

It's not real high volume...it goes in waves. Usually at the beginning of the school year there's a bunch of articles. Then it tapers off.

Well, I couldn't remember the exact relation, but I knew he was special cause he was yours. So's I tried to make him a real special package. Knowin' he's a dwarf I left off the usual soap products as filler! LOL

No, really, I just had so much to put in I didn't have room for soap/shampoo. I'll send him some next time. I wrote him a note. Told him he is very special to all of us cause he is part of your fambly.

[Corin Stormhands]

Okay, I'll let ya know if'n we decide to go ahead with this.

[Overtaxed]

Eeeek!!

The azaleas at work are blooming now so I think I'll put up the hummingbird feeder this weekend.

I got enough yard work done this afternoon that I may be able to go to Lowes at 6:30 instead of 6:00 tomorrow morning...

Customer called up with a handheld. Said his brother, who had an "identical" handheld, could play a little movie on his; the customer couldn't get this same movie to play on his handheld. (I think it was porn, but that's me.)

"The Lazy E doesn't support any application that will let you play movies on this device."

"I want to use Pocket Windows Media Player to play this movie."

"Fine, but the Lazy E doesn't ..."

"You have to help me make this work."

I get cranky when I'm told I have to do something. "Actually, you bought Media Player from Microsoft. If it's not running on your device ..."

"How do I make this work without Media Player, then?"

Trying to be helpful, I point him at a relevant Microsoft article, then refer him to various websites. He interrupts me. "You're telling me I have to read something to watch my movie? I don't want to have to read anything ... I want you to tell me how to do this."

That customer went on hold for five minutes while I blew my stack. Oooo! I swear, my hair stood on end and turned red! When I went back, I was polite, but unhelpful. "You purchased Pocket Media Player from Microsoft; if they didn't include a user's guide, you'll have to apply to them. And, no, I don't know of any other way to do this. We support the hardware, not the software. Let me get you over to the Softwware Support Group. Thank you for calling the Lazy E."
