Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Kitty wilted the thread.
I hate powerpoint, precious.
I found out they lost the key to our super-secret disaster recovery drawer sometime last week, and nobody has bothered to call maintenance to get a new key cut. If I have to get in that drawer, I'll get my Camillus BK3 Tactool from my truck, and just pop the drawer open. Please, please let there be just a little disaster.
I'm watching Red Dawn, something I haven't seen in ages. It's that politically incorrect movie from the depths of the Carter malaise. Highly unlikely except for the opening background text, which would have probably come true if Jimmuh had another four years.
What left me stuned was the propaganda the sovs/Cubans were playing to the Americans in the concentration camp. It's now mainstream RAT policy statements today. The crap from DU is even crazier and slimier.
It's impossible to parody leftists because they continually outdo even themselves.

Morning!
Crunch, crunchy, crunchy on the outside.
Squishy, squishy, squishy on the inside.
It's the outside and the inside that's a big darn tootin'!
good morning!
We're going up to the beach house today.... celebrate Dad's birthday and take him out to breakfast.
~sip~
You're right...I can't parody this!
Sounds good!
Not sure what I'm doing today...putter around with the plants some more maybe...laundry, probably. Think I'll measure the windows so I can make screens for them. Found two panes of glass that may be the doubled panes that I'd been missing.
Good Morning, all quiet this a.m. in the shire, carny's still in the parking lot across the tracks. Guess the octoberfest will continue today as well, for a while at least. Didn't see the tractor club in town this year. Pretty cool old tractors. Walked around last night for a bit, people watching mostly. Where do they come from? Many villages were missing their idiots.
Gypsy is resting after her walk, we're sipping the magic liquid known as coffee and muching on Wolferman's English Muffins with marmalade. hmmmm.
LSA is starting her eye drop regime on the left eye; second eye gets fixed on Tuesday morning at 06:20 hrs. Right eye is 20/20.
Finally got see the first hour of Lost that LSA taped Wednesday night since I was working. I saw most of the second hour when I got home. Great Show.
Best of luck for the surgery this week LSA!
Good grief! That's not photoshopped is it?
Mornin'. I got back after 1:00 a.m., so I slept in whilst family went to church. We've got a read thru of the show at 2:00 p.m.
No - I don't think it is... I think it's real.
Look on JJ's face says even he thinks she's a moonbat and he wishes he was somewhere else.
So very true. We DVR'd that movie when it was on TV last week. The kids haven't seen it cause they weren't even born when it came out, I don't think.
I told SirKit what you'd mentioned about putting essential info on a flash drive in case of emergency. He was wondering what kind of stuff you put on it. He's thinking of getting an external extra hard drive to which all of us can continually download important info from the various computers in the house so that in the event of an emergency, we can just grab that one and go. I don't have hard copies of photos; they're all on my computer, so I could put those on CD's for safekeeping, but it would be good to have the original files kept safe.
Prayers of thanksgiving for the first surgery going up as well as prayers for success for the next one on Tuesday! I'll also write myself a reminder to pray late Monday night for that early next morning's event!
I noticed that. She really seems to love this limelight, doesn't she? Whatta twit.
Praying all goes well with the surgery!
Oh, I have a couple of external drives too, and my "main" drives are on cheap (non-hot-swappable) drive trays. Given enough time, they all get taken with me.
The USB-drive-in-the-Swiss-Army-knife goes with me everywhere all the time, and contains the most critical data (which also resides on other drives). It also contains handy stuff like device drivers that I may need to install on other computers at work. Also, enough empty space to move other files back and forth when I come across them.
Given the capacity and cost of hard drives today, I've come to the conclusion that the only practical way to back up drives that are approaching a terrabyte in size is to another hard drive. When I first got my DVD burner, I figured I could back up my hard drives with DVDs. I did some quick math, and aside from the time invovled in babysitting the backup and feeding blank DVDs, it would cost me almost as much for the blanks as buying an external USB drive. The only thing cheaper than hard drive technology is newer hard drives.
That's just skeery. And these people want to run the country?
I'm sore this morning from playing softball yesterday! Wow, if it's such good exercise I should try to find people to play with more often.
Good Afternoon, thank you for the prayers, they are appreciated very much. OB & LSA
~sigh~
Alyson's dad just dropped her off.
Late yesterday, she pulled down a heavy lead glass shelf at his house and it fell on her right foot, pinning it.
When he lifted it off, he was relieved to see it wasn't cut - but an hour later it swelled up and that's when he called me.
I wanted him to bring her home, but he insisted on taking her to the hospital - so I gave him the insurance info.
Long story short, she has a hairline facture on the top of her foot, right above where the toes meet the foot. She's in a splint and I've got to take her to the pediatrician tomorrow for a follow-up.
Poor baby. She looks so pathetic limping around with that foot all wrapped up. :-(
And the timing couldn't be worse. She is supposed to start day care tomorrow and with no one else to watch her, I don't know what I am going to do.
I'm so frustrated and upset over it since it means I'll probably have to take more time off of work. And I'm worried about it affecting my employment.
~fret~
Hopefully it will heal quick.
Murphy's law is alive and well. *smiles*
Afternoon!
I started out cleaning up the - ahem - cat closet and ended up cleaning the computer room. Now I have room to put the VCR player beside the computer. Now I have to figure out how to transfer VCR to mpeg.
