Soooo... my daughter comes back from her vacation in TX with some great news. She's moving to San Antonio...

OK, so when I tell her... don't you think this is a little rash, impulsive, quick, and just a teeny weeny bit stupid...oh did I say that, I meant...irrational; her only retort is "Well mom, I AM 18." As if 18 has somehow now become the magic number after which all intelligent decisions are made...

*sigh* So I reminded her that while she is now that magical 18 and essentially almost the greater perfection number 19 (which then she will become genius), she is still financially dependent on moi...

Much to my surprise...(NOT) the river of tears began and flowed continuously with intermittent spurts of "you are so mean" and "how can you step all over my dreams", followed by two phone calls to my closest gf's who excitedly agreed WITH MY DAUGHTER and 1001 promises of a beautiful future with a life filled only with bliss.

How could I possibly deny her that?

David thinks I'm the meanest Daddy in the whole world when I don't let him type on the computer too

My work computer, at 8-9 years of age, is the oldest computer by maybe 5-6 years. It's been trying to die the last couple weeks. Today it succeeded

I did get to order another one, but it will be a few days before I get it.

Dang You must have milked that one along!! (though I have a computer at home that has some parts that are ten this year!!! (I kept the floppy drive andsome other hardware)



*******

Embie when "R" turns 21 then you can congratulate her as she will then be officially an adult and as dumb as she always thought you were........

Yeah, well... I hadn't used it much in the last few years while working in hospice... I musta kilt it this summer/fall

I had bumped up the ram to 1.5gb, added a new hard drive and upgraded it to winxp pro over the years to keep it moving, but the hard drive started corrupting and the ram just died this week. Re-doing the ram itself would have been ~$250-300 not counting the hard drive and it may have been something with the motherboard once we fixed that. After spending >$500 in time on it it was best to just get a new one. I'll be leaving soon and I don't want to have to keep coming back just to try to get the old one back on its feet.

The eBay seller who promised me a refund has been suspended. I guess I can kiss that dinero goodbye...

Diner? Did he promise to take you out to eat?

SHE promised me $60.00 *sigh*

Pray for her tho, I think she got in over her head dealing in direct ships out of China and according to her profile she's a Christian. Sadly I'm not alone and since I bought my item there have been many, many, many negative comments in her feedback ratings. I didn't have the heart to post anything after that.

Bummer!!!!

I got to weigh and get lab work in the morning for my life insurance

The printer I use is more than 15 years old (I think it's a 1992 or 1993 model) - still prints pretty good tho

That thing must take up half a room. Do they still sell that "tractor paper?"

It's a HP laserjet4 - not the fastest now but a workhorse for sure It's smaller than the much faster dell printer we use elsewhere there.

(I did own a LJ5 series. Nice but it was very particular about quality paper)

I have a printer that has been hooked up since we moved yet I do not print on it. I can't find the cable and every time I think about printing I remember I still have to buy one. So instead of buying one, I print my pages out at the library. By now, I could have bought a dozen of them.

uhhhh...Embie? how often are you at Wal Mart??? they have them...
of course, the library...if you were going there anyway...at least convenient...jump drive the files???

...DOH!

...so...I just got back inside from clearing the end of my driveway of the two feet of ice chunks that the plow was so kind to leave after last night's snow and ice storm.

My reward you ask?

I now get to go to the dentist to have two wisdom teeth removed.

Wisdom teeth eh? Well you might as well get them out, they are defective..........

Proverbs 9:12
If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."

So.... for my Master's project I have to submit a minimum 30 page business plan for starting a new business...

Cruel?
