I'm Still Kickin' ...
My Friggin' computer fried about two weeks ago. It refused to stay turned on. The Computer Spaz down at the computer shop (where I will no further do business) said it was the power supply. It was supposed to take a week to get the part. I told him to just “next day air” that bad boy and I’d be glad to pay the extra. I guess people with that level of computer knowledge and skills lack the ability to process information given to them from normal folk, that and the ability to use a phone because he screwed it up and it took nine days (business) and he still forgot to call me when it was ready. So I called him and said, “hey, what’s up with the delay? It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve had any porn. He saw no humor in this and said that my “unit” was ready. He also said that after plugging in the new power supply that it still would not work, so he did some more troubleshooting and discovered that the floppy disc drive was jacked up some how and causing the shutdown problem, so he unplugged it and now the "unit" works fine. Now correct me if I’m retarded. Being that the part I paid for (the power supply - $49.95) did not fix the problem and that simply unplugging the floppy disc drive did fix it, why in the Hell am I paying for the power supply and now I have no floppy disc capabilities ? I haven’t used a floppy disc in over a year anyway, not since I purchased a jump-drive but I would still like for my computer to be at 100 %. I paid him anyway and will not use him again, I was not waiting any longer or going without a computer for another week. I can get the disc drive from Staples and install it myself later. So that’s why I’ve been on hiatus for the last couple of weeks. I’d gotten use to doing all of my banking and bill paying on line and I have a butt-load of that to catch up on, not to mention a few hundred E-mails. Well I guess it will give me something to do this weekend while the kid is away at her mom’s. So peace to all and take care. I’ll try and get around and visit soon.

I was wondering what was going on. I had three emails to you, sent back to me. One was a cool cowboy's and Indians, you know Wild West and I liked it but it got sent back to me today. Hope all is well, glad you're back.
Kisses!
babs - i'm glad that you keep checkin' in on me. seems like something is always hitting the fan.
I'm glad to hear it was your computer on the fritz and not you! Did you ask for your power supply back since there wasn't anything wrong with it? My significant other always told me that when I took my car in for repairs to ask for the old parts back so he could check to see if they gave me Chevy parts back when they were working on my Ford. He says garages alway rip off women because they can.
azcg - i had emily go in and pick it up and i stayed in the truck, i sometimes get carried away when i confront idiots and wind up tearing into them like a monkey on a cupcake. and btw, just why are we up so late ?
Glad to see you are on-line again Chuck. Same here one of our home pc's drives went and we can't use the cordless keypad or mouse, so now we can't use the pc at all, awaiting to borrow a cable keyboard from a friend to unlock the damn pass word, luckily I have a laptop to fall back on. Phew.
I got another email to you, back today. Is your folder full? You know I love ya Peacock, so I look for you. When I sell my book, which the guy, a Law Professor is steady working on, I will come calling.
PS, good ass song. Man In The Box is one of my fav's. Good taste darlin'!
wuz pleased to hear from you. i 've been up to my neck in the political and police quagmire that is going on over here. glad you're up an at em. wuz wondering where you were.
I've been working on sigificant other's DVD an VHS collections, I can't do it when he's up because he's such a shit! So I wait until he goes to bed and then I rip into his collection! There's a total of 1,108 titles and I'm putting them on the computer with title, year released, main actors, and a short summary, then I alphabetize them and put them away. It's so much easier to do it while he's asleep than have to argue about how they should be organized!
this is abiut the 5th time i've tried to leave comments today. blogger/google keeps eating it. so here is a shorter revized version of the afore mentioned comments:
babs - looking foward to breaking bread with you some day (i don't know what's up with my e-mail, seems to be working ok on this end) xoxo
hann - hope you are feeling better. you make be feel better everytime i log on and see your face.
shane - don't let the politics spoil your soul, even it out with some good music and more noble thoughts.
azcg - you organize queen you. you should be on martha stewart with your own tips on grocery shopping and maintaining an organized home. xoxo
maybe this time...
