Thanks! SirKit and I went out to the grocery store to get stuff for the kids to make my birthday dessert, then to Lowe's, then I came home and made supper, but that's about the extent of our activities for the day. We were watching Animal House, but decided that thirty years on,it's just not as funny, so we're watching a Science Channel program about the human DNA bottleneck caused by the explosion of Mt. Toba 76,000 years ago. We're waiting for CSI to come on.

The kids made me a Strawberry Whipped Sensation. It's like a Lemon Icebox pie with Cool Whip and smashed strawberries mixed in. That's put in a 9x5 loaf pan, topped with crushed chocolate cookies, and frozen for several hours. When it's taken out of the pan and inverted, it's covered with Cool Whip and sliced strawberries, but they're gonna put some fresh blueberries on it, too. I'm fixing to put on a pot of coffee, and we're gonna enjoy it!

SirKit’s family is moving the reunion back to Perdido Key this year, and will be in mid-September, so it’s gonna be just us adults this year, except maybe on the weekend when we might go up and get Joseph from school so he can enjoy Perdido for a couple of days.

I’m sorry. What’s the solution, new monitor? Or a new window? Both?

I think we’re going to go buy a new one tomorrow. Hopefully not the window. ;~)

The window would probably cost more, anymore. What’s wrong with it? I can’t say I’ve seen many flat panels just totally fail.

Looks very good! That will help keep thesunroom clean, besides giving MissKitty a nice place to snooze.

Re: paying off the vet’s new deck with thecat check-up. We are familiar with that particular drill!

It’s a power supply problem. It’s been going on for awhile. The power light goes into a slow blink, and briefly even shows the monitor image. By playing with the power cord and unplugging it and cursing at it and turning the button on and off, he’s been able to get it to work eventually before, but not tonight. Once it’s on, it works fine, as long as it never gets shut off or hibernates. This morning he shut his computer down because of the potential for thunderstorms, and now he regrets it.

My boss’s monitor, same model Viewsonic, had the same thing happen a couple months ago. He called tech support, and they told they know what the problem is, but he’d have to send it back, at his own expense, to be fixed... and be without a monitor for 4-6 weeks. :-\

I was planning on putting in stepping stones from the gate around to the sunroom door. That’s something like 32 stones and I just don’t have the energy for it right now.

Yeah....cat check-up and I’m out of all her meds at the same time. Ka-ching!
