Good morning everyone... a little rushed here this morning, I have to take hunney to work so I can have the truck today. Back later. :~D
Morning... kind of cloudy here, like it's gonna rain. Be careful, you snowy people.
Last midterm today! I had a nightmare that a class I've done the midterm for had a surprise "bonus" midterm. Ugh. Pray for me!
Will pray!
Good morning!
Good morning!
Well, my computer is still dead. The old power supply had something loose rattling in it, so my sister replaced it last night to see if that was the problem.
Unfortunately, we have narrowed it down to either the CPU or the (~gasp!~) motherboard. *sigh*
She took the box home with her and is constructing a frankenstein machine out of it and another machine she has at home, so I hope to be back online by the end of the week.
If not, I will have to wait until I can order a stripped-down Dell box and have my sister cannabalize my old machine to get all of the peripherals, memory, etc out of it to put in the new machine.
As always, things are never easy. ~shrugs~
Morning!
Ugh, I'm still congested but otherwise healthy.
As a kid, I wouldn't touch okra. As an adult, it's okay. I still don't like squash, but I ~will~ eat it so as not to be rude. Fresh spinach is good cooked or raw, but the canned stuff makes me gag. Cabbage is one of those things that has to be in disguise for me to eat, LOL. Love hominy. Hominy is almost as good as popcorn. I like carrots, just not cooked to smitherines.
PE loathes lima beans. I love em. He can have my peas, and I'll take his lima beans.
Oh, dear, no fun. Sorry it wasn't the easy choice. Hope she can figure out what's really wrong with it.
Almost ALL canned vegetables are gross. For people that grew up eating those...I guess I can see why they wouldn't like veggies!
I kinda like canned green beans, and corn is good that way...but almost nothing else!
Eeeek! Cannibals!
Seriesly, hope it gets fixed soon!
I know I should know this...but can you FReepmail or e-mail me the new apartment address one more time? Want to be able to give it to a few close friends.
Will do immediately!
Morning gnad...church called and wants to know what you want them to print in the weekly flier about the youth cutting wood out here...what time is pickup and dropoff and if you will need the church bus? She is printing at noon. Hope you're having fun...stay outa trouble...hehe...
*smooch* Mrsnad
I'm not going to get hysterical over it. It isn't going to change anything anyway. ~sigh~
As long as I can get some kind of machine put together, I'm still better off than having to buy a brand-new loaded machine. I know that I just can't afford it.
Worse comes to worse, I'll have to scrimp and save to get a Dell. I won't buy e-machines again. Apparently, they are notorious for having their motherboards go bad after 2 years.
If all you need is one new part, I reccommend newegg.com. They have a lot of good deals and I've never been burnt, buying from them.
Speaking of which...I need to get a wireless card as soon as I close on the house!
I'm also thinking of getting myself ONE gift: a new fountain pen. We'll see. I should know exactly how much extra cash I'll have in a few days here!
I'm also thinking I may or may NOT have to buy a rooftop carrier. It's looking like it'd be cheaper to just mail all the clothes I'm not actually using right off than it would be to buy a carrier. Plus it'd save some hassle...except for taking the boxes to the post office and your havin' to deal with 'em on the other end. At least now you can just stack stuff in my bedroom!
*whines* SHUT UUUPPP! I haven't seen bare ground in weeks, except right on the edge of the hole in our backyard, also known as the new basement.
The SMART portion, too! ;o)
I do envy you. I'd love to give my "improvised explosives and booby traps" lecture (and demo).
;-)
Yay! They're closing the college as of 1:30. Right after lunch. Not THAT much of a snow day, but I'll take what I can get!
I have LOTS to do at the house, so this is a blessing! I still need to take a day or two off when the weather ISN'T bad so I can do the dump and Salvation Army runs, but at least I can do laundry, sort clothes, and box things.
