Sounds like your day was a bit of a trial.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Sandy.

[luvie]

Well, mommy said it was nearly bedtime...Piper was wide eyed and talking to us finally!

She held my hand from the restaurant to the car. I liked that! Especially since it’s been a while since we saw each other! :D

[SandRat]

Inconvenience

 

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks....it is more than annoying, but I just have to proof EVERYTHING every few sentences. Sometimes most of what I type is there, but most every sentence has something wrong, or words missing. *sigh*

The bad part is my cubemate has been having the same issues to a lesser degree, and today another tech had the multiple letter issue. This whole thing is very weird.

[SandRat]

HiYa

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Connie, hugs.

[HiJinx]

Blowing plenty - dumpster was out in the middle of the street this evening.

Not as bad as Sunday night, though. I think half the state was blowing away down in the Casa Grande / Eloy / Coolidge area. The sun disappeared long before it set that night.

We’re doing quite well, thank you. We had Piper this last weekend and had a blast.

[TASMANIANRED]

Hand holding is especially sweet.

[luvie]

It sure is when it’s with a normally very shy 2-year old!

[SandRat]

Now don’t hit me but,.. are you using dumb-terminals instead of network PCs?

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

What a lovely child. God Bless our military.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Don’t know....keep talking.

[AZamericonnie]

Hiya Taz & good to see you!

How are things your way this evening?

The wind is howling here! *Hugs*

[HiJinx]

Good news is my boss came back from vacation yesterday, so I didn’t have to worry about doing his job, too.

I’ve had several opportunities to excel this last week. And actually did, at least one day.

[AZamericonnie]

How was your time with Piper?

Did she teach you new stuff?:)

[HiJinx]

She’s getting old enough that her memories last longer, now. She knows you, now. From here on, it will be important for her to share what she loves with you.

At least, that’s the way it seems to have been with our Piper.

[AZamericonnie]

LOL....A child has perfect timing right?:)

[SandRat]

With dumb-terminals you have a monitor, key board, & mouse but no desktop PC just cables the run off somewhere to a mainframe computer. the mainframe starts going goofy and what you enter from the keyboard and what you see on the monitor screen is bollixed in one way or another.

[SandRat]

always...
