Gosh ... the universe will never be the same. Someone will send in a three year old and we’ll all be outpitched.
I will not attempt to dispute with me. We could get a dizziness.
Agreed.
Thank goodness Thought is in Poland.
I hear Poland is a fine place.
yep ... Thought called I last night and said changing light bulbs was a party there.
Why do they call it canning when they put them in a jar? Stores should call them isles. Well except for the ones next to the wall. Then we could float shopping boats around the store. Do any stores other than military have one way lanes?
I’ve always wondered about that, too.
Isles and Bergs.
Last post?
I got invited to a wedding in May and I don’t have anything new to wear so when I come down this winter we will have to go shopping.
Also I’m not sure what an appropriate gift would be. Do I write a check?
I finally decided to do it.
I booted up a Knoppix live cd and opened GParted and moved 30 gigs into a second partition called “Linux Swap”. This would leave 199 GB, I reformatted (to NTFS) it after saying my goodbyes to Ubuntu 12.04 and then I rebooted with the Windows 7 installation disc.
Which told me I did not have the needed drivers
huh?? what?? I thought I was going to have to start over with Linux and nothing else. Why would the Windows 7 not simply INSTALL??
Apparently GParted doesn’t do anything until you get done and hit some button I failed to notice. I really thought it had done what I was telling it to do.
As if 199GB can be reformatted in no time (hey, it changed color!)
I am SO G-tarted
Blast from the past!
I sually get two gifts.
One practical, serious, and useful.
And one that is purely a slight joke, friendly ribbing.
Looks like New Braunfels instead of Austin
Nite Nite everyone ... May each rest and be refreshed come morning.
I have a phone interview tomorrow...
“I have a phone interview tomorrow...” simple event in reality.
Speak to some shlubb on the phone, answer a few odd questions, and maybe wrangle different employment out of it.
Even if the questions were a little odd anyway.
Seriously, ”do you know of others perfect for our team”?
Who even speaks like that?
Several hours later...
The faintly smoking person sized duffel was set in the middle of the room.
“The last member of the team was somewhat...difficult to collect, sir.” the voice came straight from a Star Wars stormtrooper, helmet and all.
“Put up a fight?” the obvious person in charge steepled their hands, “He isn’t damaged, is he?”
“It took a few extra shocks to put him down.”
“And when I get out of this bag I’m shoving that stun wand somewhere uncomf-” the voice from the duffel was a whisper that dared the ersatz stormtroopers to not hear it.
“That won’t be needed, you were recommended for a job.” the possible head villain in charge cut in as the duffel opened and a face peered out.
“I just know this isn’t my fault for once.” Duffel bag captive muttered upon seeing the motley collection of his friends from online...
“It was just a phone interview!” protested the ‘guilty’ party.
The couple will probably be registered at stores. You just go to a website, pick something off their list that’s in your price range, and order it. If they happen not be be registered, wine is always a nice gift, unless you know they don’t drink.
Household items are good. If they get duplicates, they can exchange some things.
I’ll take you shopping or shop online with you for clothes.
Speaking of shopping, it’s been a week since I reordered your dishes. They said they would ship in two weeks, so be watching any time after next Sunday. Watch for slips, answer your door, etc.
