Home is behind, the world ahead, |
LOL!! No that's tonight (today?) as I'm catching up from the day! Y'all have been chatsy Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves, Rohirrim, Beornings, and Wizards today!
It was VEY good! Suspenseful, but also touching in parts of the film.
Gotta go buy a plane ticket! See y'all later today. Gonna have to remember to take some Advil before I watch Reagan's funeral service so I won't have a splitting headache when it's over.
I'm not aware of another firewall. I have McAfee AntiVirus going, but the firewall is not active/installed.
I'm still thinking it's a Comcast problem. But Comcast said it's a Dell problem. Still, they said they'd try to figure out the router issue and call back.
I'm also going to try to contact Tripod/Lycos from the office today.
Thanks for your help. I'll likely have more questions. ;-)
Mornin' East Coast.
Sheesh! Local news just reported the death of a three year old that fell out of a moving vehicle. What kind of brain dead parents don't make sure their child is securely strapped in?
What did the story say? Are you sure the three old didn't unfasten himself?
They didn't give any more details. I suppose it's possible the kid did it. But then I'd have to question how the child got the door or the window open.
Luke couldn't do either of those in the van. And I control the electric locks and windows in the car.
Yesterday was really crummy thanks to Microsoft. The briefing was cancelled, so I took the time to upgrade some graphics and do some nice finishing touches on my material. I had text, tables, graphics, and photographs in a nice, tidy word doc. I save regularly. When all was said and done, I quit out, burned a disk. Upon checking the disk, I discovered that all copies of that doc are 'corrupted' and can't be opened. Four days' worth of work. Lost. I'm still seething. Gates should be drawn and quartered.
Bill Gates is Satan... you know that don't you?...
mmmmmmmm... Black Ice....
How yuh holdin' up bro?...
tractor keeps losin' power... need new points... be doin' that tuhday... and gradin' a neighbors driveway... and gettin' the brush hog welded...
got an 18" section of 10" square tubular steel... gonna make me a new mail box that's grenade proof...
Ooooh I can still just scream.
so.... tell me about this "Afghanistan job" of which you speak...
Disks DO get corrupted without help from Microsoft...
Just playin' devil's advocate. No double meaning intended...
Of the three OSs I use on a daily basis, Microsoft is the only one that drives me to use unladylike language.
Good morning! Happy Friday!
*sigh* Lookin' like it's going to be another weekend of mad shuffling. The younger siblings have a friend from downstate visiting, and she has to get home late Saturday afternoon. Margaret has her license now, but Dad's a little nervous about her taking much of a long trip yet, at least without another driver in the car just in case. But another friend is playing a concert east of HERE at seven, and Dad thinks at least ONE of us should go. She was Mom's cello teacher and has really made an effort to let us know about music in the area and to be friends with us since Mom's passing, but for the most part we've always been too busy to make it to much.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to manage this. Wish Van-sama could fly.
Oh, and Saturday is also Bilbo's birthday, and I don't have a present yet.
Chaos upon chaos.
Good morning!
Last day of VBS (this one, at least). It'll be over at noon, which will be real nice.
Got my car outta the shop. I got it "drivable"...but something is wrong with the a/c and it's going out, he said. Cost a fortune to fix it, so we opted not to.
I'm glad to have the old green van back...my dad's monster red truck is hard to drive! LOL
'Morning.
Is it 4:00 yet?
