Well it’s a spooky time don’t cha know. We’re supposed to be already entering the galactic center (dark rift) where we will probably undergo a pole shift with catastrophic consequences for the entire planet. And that’s only if Nibiru doesn’t come back and collide with us like it did with Tiamat. I’ve noticed that 9 times out of ten, when I have looked at a clock in the past few weeks, it was displaying a symmetrical number. I think that is probably a harbinger of the calamities that will befall us between now and December twenty-first of twenty-twelve.

Or maybe not.

OUCH! LOL!

I am wondering if you only have “half” your C Drive free if that IS the problem. But I don’t know what size your drive is or how much memory you have. I am only using 92% of my hard drive, and have so much more ‘stuff’ installed on this one than I could even think about putting on my old one.

[Lady Jag]

OUCH! LOL!

You'd think!

“Hope things are looking better for you and Nan as we get into this new year.”

Getting a sort of handle on things. With any luck this might turn out to be a very good year.

(Depending if Obama leaves us any money of course!)

Good afternoon, GeeBee. Wishing you a Wonderful Day in return.

Did BooBoo go back to school today?
Marissa did and it was past time. She was getting very bored. :)

Have a lovely week.

Now I have to go and get something done before the day is over!

... and the second episode of The Bachelor XIII begins, 8:00 p.m....heehee;^)

Add to that, I also saw a shooting star on Sunday night, 1/4/08. I live in the city and no one ever sees shooting stars in the city. This one was BIG and BRIGHT in the southern sky, about 30-35 degrees. Any ideas?:)

[luvie]

Guys and thinking?

Not compatable! :D

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Majie.

Oh, no! The Bachelor is on tonight AND "24"? Thank goodness for Tivo!

and thanks for the reminder, dita.

[La Enchiladita]

Reminding, it’s what I do best, lol.

My son thought it was good. Thats what he told me. It would be 50% unused. And if you could see what I have on mine. I don’t know the size of the drive either, he understands all that and I don’t fool with it.

I have so much ‘stuff’ on mine that I thought that could have been the problem but at the moment, he says no.

I really think its something he can fix. I am aggravated mostly about my music! I am going to have to rest my back a few minutes. Thanks, Billie!

[Mama_Bear]

Reminding, it’s what I do best, lol.

LOL. Well, thank goodness someone keeps track of "stuff" for us!

Rubber Band Day



The West Coast's Snowman



Roller Skating Day





National Marzipan Day



Marzipan, for those of you that don't know, is a sweet creation primarily consisting of sugar and ground almonds.
It is used predominantly by pasty chefs as coating on cakes.



Santa Clara Mission Founded



The mission of Santa Clara was established on January 12, 1777.
Natural disasters did not prevent Mission Santa Clara from achieving great prosperity,
being exceeded at the time only by San Gabriel in the importance of its possessions.

In 1851 the property was given to the Jesuits who founded, and still maintain,
the University of Santa Clara on the old mission site.

Today a section of garden wall on the campus is all that remains of original mission buildings.
Today's university chapel was built after the fire of 1926,
its design a faithful reproduction of the old mission church of a century earlier.
The bell tower contains the original bells sent from Spain so long ago.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my Sunday posts, Billie, Amy,
yorkie and GeeBee
Hope we get more hummingbird stories, Dita
Enjoying the poetry and graphics..Here's my "postcard."

[Mama_Bear]

That looks so beautiful to this snow deprived Californian. Thank you!

[Billie]

YIKES! Jaycee, I meant to say that my harddrive is 92% FREE! I only have 8% of it in use! Huge difference in what I said earlier and what I meant to say!

My old Windows 98 didn't have a very big harddrive, and I had to be careful what I installed - couldn't begin to handle the huge programs and graphics and music I have on this one!

Anyway, I do hope that whatever is the problem you can get it taken care of very soon. I would hate not to have music. :(

I want some of your ham and biscuits. :)

[MEG33]

You’re welcome..Snow deprived in Texas, too..I think that’s why I love snow pictures so.
