Good Thursday Morning, Crew!

:donut::hi:
Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: I hope you had an easy Hump Day! Mine certainly was full. On our way to the groomers yesterday morning, Tony had a "number 2" accident in the back of our Wrangler! Jeezuz it STANK! x( :vomit: I had to pull over at a gas station and clean it out, of course, before I could continue on or I was going to puke. We finally made it there and now he has a cute haircut that you really MUST see! :woohoo: Pictures are forthcoming! :bounce:

I had an item I needed to return to Best Buy, so I made a B.B. run and picked up a copy of Roxio's Easy Media Creator Suite 8! And can't get the damned thing to install properly. I spent the rest of the late afternoon and early evening working with their tech support to get done correctly with no results. I'm still waiting on an e-mail from to tell me what to do next. The damned software was $100...and I can't even get it to install! Of course, once you break the seal on software or a music CD, it's yours to keep, so I guess I'm stuck until I can get some resolution from Roxio. I hate this. x(

I'm still collecting photos for our Early Morning Crew montague! SO far, I've received pictures from: Billyskank, Miss Buffy, Cannikin, Hissyspit, Miss Joan, Miss Honey, Mrs.G, Miss Mutley, Random_Australian, Miss Seattle, Starbucks and Swimboy! Thank you everyone! I still need pictures from the rest of you, so if you have one...please post it! We'd ALL like to see it! :bounce:

Ready to get this day started? I hope so because...here we go! :bounce:

:hi:
Good morning to you, Sir! How every little thing?

tests and then post them and I have a complete break for a week and a half.

I have Roxio Creator Suite 6 and haven't had any problem with it.

Baby goes to the vet today.

A person needs that once in a while! I don't know what's wrong with Suite 8, but it's driving me INSANE with it's problems, problems, problems! x(

:hi: :hug:

:hi::hug:

I'm glad to see you this morning! :bounce: Did you have a good day yesterday?

My day was good enough. I just studied and posted on DU. Sounds like your day was fun. :P

:rofl:
It's OK though. I made it through and now a new day is dawning! :woohoo: Any big plans for today, my dear?

:P My first exam isn't until tomorrow. How about you? Working today?

I'm hoping I can get this crazy program fixed today! That's all I have planned...oh, that and go get groceries.

?

They think it's a "permissions" problem in my computer. So, I've got some work to do.

Would frustrate me beyond belief. :hug:

Hey, do you like Country Music?

I used to not like it, but it has been a long time. I might've grown into some of it at this point.

country music mix CD created by man! :bounce::rofl: I thought if you like Country, I'd send it to you so you could give it a listen! :bounce:

:bounce:

Send me your e-mail address sometime in a Pvt and I'll send you the MP3!

:thumbsup:

You'll have it shortly! Keep in mind...everything you'll hear was mixed on my computer and is NOT from a radio station! Also, the mix is 57 minutes long as there are 18 songs in it! :bounce:

I've been trying to aquire some new music anyway. Thanks! :D

Hang tight for a minute...

keep an eye for it, my dear! I'm out to go get ready for work! See you tomorrow! :hug::loveya:

Have a lovely day. :loveya: :hug:

:hug::loveya:

:hi:

I hope that life is treating you very well indeed.

:hug:

:hi: :hug:

Life is just fine at the moment. How about you?

The threatened cold is getting more threatening - but I'm refusing to give it any quarter (I don't do the whole "man-'flu" thing), and so having a jolly time. :D

:rofl:

I'm a little mad the orange juice didn't help. :P

and I'm repeating it today, plenty of fluids and vitamin C (that's vitamin C not vaiytamin C as well ;) ).

Pshaw! :D

and adopt the practice of Arabic and Hebrew putting various types of glottal-stops into speach - thus the word should become v'tamin. :P

Either that, or you should pronounce the second "i" in the same way as the first. :P

but the first I say the Yankee way. I'd have to try to hard to say v'tamin. At least your way I can do it with minimal effort. :P

Given that we knew the value of the stuff before it was even discovered. ;)

:P

:scared:

:rofl:

:hi:

Sounds like you had some "fun" - I have to confess that's one major reason why I don't have any pets, nor am likely to have any.

Ironic choice of music ;) - I'm on Shostakovich this morning, I had his fourth symphony earlier which is pretty mind-blowing and was at the time highly controversial and withdrawn for fear of the Soviet authorities. At the moment I'm on his 1st piano concerto, probably follow that with his second and then his 'cello concerti. :bounce:

:hug:

:hi::hug:
Having a pet is a wonderful thing, Man. They are a LOT of company and dogs are VERY loving. But, they DO take care and need a lot of your attention. Puppies can have an accident (just like a small child) anytime and it's just something you have to deal with. I knew, going into it, that I'd have things like that that I'd have to take care of. It's OK.

So I'm STILL waiting for a picture from you, Mister!

I wouldn't want to plague others with them.

:spank::mad:
Quit it!

I'll have to have a look around photobucket and see what's there.

P.S. that spanking was too enjoyable :evilgrin:

That WAS an order...and I should have known you'd like it! :evilgrin::rofl:

:evilgrin:

I'm far from convinced about the tie-knot, the lighting, I'd just come in from outside so my cheeks are too red...but I suppose that this is about as good as it's going to get:

:woohoo:
Thanks, TJ! That's a good picture! :woohoo:

then I'm happy. :hug:

:bounce:
:hug:

:bounce:

:hug: :loveya:

:bounce::hug::loveya:

That wasn't so hard, was it? :D

Clever way of avoiding the more obvious comment of "you're bloody ugly aren't you". :P

he wasn't married to my sister. ;)

:blush:

But I'd probably have a crush on you if I weren't gay, damn fine picture you posted here. :hug:

High compliments indeed. :hug:

to post a pic! The agents are moving in now!



:P
Nice pic.

Thank goodness there's a flat roof outside so it's only a 2 foot drop.

There are actually a few pictures of me lurking around in odd places on here - but I don't like to scare people too much.

Thanks for the compliment. :pals:

I've seen one of you and it was quite lovely. x(

and I've got no idea whether the pronunciation of that varies across the Atlantic. :P

shaw as in bra, law... right, that's all I can think of right now. :D

That really is odd. :crazy: :P

ghoti - just for pure obnoxiousness sake. :P

:o

I'm afraid I don't know ghoti, and can't find a definition either. :D

As it would involve talking about ladies' intimates. :P

Ghoti isn't a real word, it's an illustration of pronunciation irregularity.

Pronounced either as 'fish' or as '...'

Gh as in laugh, o as in women, ti as in nation.

or

gh as in night, o as in people, t as in ballet, and i as in business.

:crazy:

Got that in grammar class a few weeks ago. :P

:P

:P

:D

:hi:
You doing OK today?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5165707&mesg_id=5165707

Whatcha think?

:bounce:
You must be proud!

Have to work today and then come home and work on this crazy program! x(

while rabid badgers gnawed off your elbows.

I kicked buttock in psychology today. I know all about the scientific method, you see, and that is what today was all about. It was great.

:bounce:
Yes, luckily no rabid badgers around here! :rofl: Gods forbid! :scared:

AND ROVE WAS INDICTED: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=247x6494

I don't know WHERE you get this stuff! :rofl:

Braised Asparagus Man? No. Does anyone even call me Ace, The Duke Of Cool? NO. IT WOULDN'T BE MUCH TROUBLE WOULD IT, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO EVERYONE IS LIKE "That's weird dude". Harrumph. ;)

Anyway, I'll email you a song to wash away your troubles, you'll love it. Don't worry about the name!

Y/N?

Edit: The name is "´Ý»ÅÇQ¤Ñ¨ÏÇUÇÂÆãǸ" (The HTML did not translate)

Gobbledegook! :rofl:

Ever wonder if that smilie is actually doing aerobics? Look at that leg! >>:rofl:<<

I've noticed that leg before too.

Give a while. I'll let you know in the morning. I'm going to have to go get ready for work in a few minutes.

song. NOTHING STRANGE AT ALL.

Here's a slightly out of focus picture of me, but I think it's the best one I've got handy.





Yesterday was pretty good for me. I've got this entire week off before I start my new job on Monday. I got a call from the recruiter from the new company yesterday and she told me all the stuff that I need to bring with me for orientation and training. I have to go about 270 miles up the road to company headquarters for orientation then it's off to Georgia for training.

Other than that I just pigged out all day yesterday and watched a few ball games. I hope you are having a good morning so far.

:hi::bounce:
Thank you for the picture, Man! It's fine! Congratulations on your new job! :bounce: Sounds like you've got some travel to do for a little while. That's OK so long as they are going to pay you for it! I wish I had the entire of next week off too, Man. You had an easy going day yesterday...good for you!

Including the hotel rooms. I will also draw a check for the two weeks of orientation and training. The only thing I'm responsible for is my meals.

Well congrats again, Man! :bounce: I hope you'll be very happy in your new job!

:hi:

I know my morning's fucked when I see this thread. No offense, of course. :D

:hi:
Hmmm...I don't know quite how to take that statement.

...I haven't talked to you in ages. Glad to hear all is still well with you. Sorry to hear about the "number 2".

Hope you have a great day!

:hi::bounce:
It's damned good to see you, Man! I'ts been FOREVER! I was putting you in the "Missing Crew Members" list! I hope you've been doing OK!

sorry for the delay. First I was in a meeting regarding the server in the institution and then I had to get me something to eat.

But now I am here :bounce:

:hi::hug:
It's OK...I knew I'd see you! How are you today?

the weather is a bit depressing but other than that I can't complain. Had a nice chat with M. yesterday evening we both enjoyed. He is happy that he gets out of the job he is in right now and he is happy that I look for a job in London.

"... anyway, its very happy to hear that you have been applying for jobs here in london, i feel good knowing that finally we'll be together forever soon.
but hey, if you dont find a job that would really make you happy here then dont get upset or sad, i should be making enough money to help support you until you finally get the right job that'll make you happy while you're here.. feel me?"

Isn't that a sweet offer? Not that I will take up to it as I want to depend on myself. Not on him.

:hug:
I'm so happy for ya, Miss Honey! You really deserve a guy like him! Hey, there wouldn't be anything wrong with living with him for a short time while you look for a job! Something to think about!

I am not giving up everything I have here to go to a foreign country with nothing in my hands. No question the offer is really sweet and it means a lot to me that he is offering it to me. But as said before, I don't want to depend on other people.

I wouldn't either. But I'm happy he DID offer it to you! That's so sweet!

That offer means a lot to me. It seems like he is a really good catch.

:bounce::hug:
It's about time for me to go get ready for work.

:hug:

I hope your day is great, what's left of it! I'll see you in the morning! :hug::loveya:

Ah . . . that certainly is sweet of M! But I do think your approach is the wisest. I would not want to depend on someone else for my livelihood either, and I'm sure he respects you all the more for that decision.

and he doesn't want me to have a job I am not happy with.

What really amazes me is that he offered it. It shows me how much he cares and how much he wants me to be with him.

you to be closer, and for very good reason! Didn't you say that he just got out of an unhappy job situation? So he knows that it's important to enjoy what you do, to be happy. How utterly sweet! Consider yourself lucky (but I imagine you do)

but he is signing the contract with the new company today. So he will be out of his situation soon enough. Today he has another interview with a company that is very interested in him as well. If they want him he can chose between two jobs and decide which suits him better. Gosh, I want to be in that situation that I can chose :rofl:

Yes I am very lucky and happy I met M. But I think I deserve that after all the assholes I was together with before him.

deserve a guy like M. Maybe there's hope for me yet!

Not looking right now. Don't have the energy or the inclination right now. Too busy with other stuff.

One day you will stumble over your perfect match.

I wasn't really looking either when I met M. online. OK, looking a bit but not seriously.

:hi:

Are you on your lunch break now?

:hug:

:hi:

Yes, I am on my lunchbreak now. Had me sweet rice with cherries :9

Are you on your break also?

:hug:

I tend to start shortly before one.

Sounds like a good lunch. :D

:hug:

So what are you going to have for lunch?

Just as long as I work for the right number of hours everything else is flexible.

I'm being my usual creature of habit self.

Salad, with cheese (white-stilton with abricots), home-made soup (cream of celeriac), accompanied by black coffee and milk to drink. :9

as that is when the library is closed. We have to have our opening hours.

Your lunch sure sounds yummy too. Not a big fan of celery but it does sound good. I am cooking a lot with tomatoes these days. They aren't the cheapest veggie but I love them. Yesterday evening I had french toast with shrimp and melted(?) tomatoes :9

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

:hi:

How did the coffee intake worked for you yesterday?

:hug:

By bedtime, I was completely exhausted and slept like a baby. :shrug: I'm not sure I should do it every day, though.

:hug: So you had a good conversation with your honey? :loveya: Things are looking serious! :bounce:

and yes it does look serious. I still am surprised that he is as serious about me. Not used to it :)

:wow: Excuse me, but have you looked in the mirror? And doesn't everyone here love you to pieces? Hmmm? So why shouldn't he be? He obviously recognizes a good woman when he sees one. :loveya:

rather plain ... LOL

I just can't quite believe I am as lucky as I seem to be. I am afraid that there is a catch as there seems to be always one. It has to do with my previous relationships.

And thank you :loveya:

I mean, in your perceptions. You are quite beautiful. :loveya:

We're always waiting for that shoe to drop. I remember feeling that way just before we got married -- SOMETHING had to go wrong. But, nope, nothing went wrong and I thought I was dreaming when the minister said, "husband and wife." The odds were against us and we're still married. :shrug: I hope you never see that "catch" ... b/c there isn't one. :hug:

You're welcome. :loveya:

I come a long way.

And M. surely gives my ego a boost as well. Such a hottie wants me?????

"... i know that you have been going to alot of parties lately, how is that going? are you happier now that you have been having fun, meeting people etc? im sure you'll meet some guys too, after all, you're a hot baby with a smashing ass, most guys would wanna hit that.. be smart..!!! say no.. say m. !!!"

:rofl:

I still have a long way to go on that. :shrug: Harleydad was a hottie and has improved with age -- and he thinks I look better than my "beautiful" sisters. :loveya:

M. is pretty sweet .... "smashing ass"! :rofl: I've never heard that before. :rofl:

my ass is quite nice for a white woman so to speak :rofl:

You've seen M. pic. So you know what I can call mine :evilgrin:

"I like big butts and I cannot lie ..." :rofl: He's not the type to go for itty bitty nothing-to-grab ones, eh? :rofl: (Not saying yours is big -- just reminded me of that song when you said that.)

Yepper, I've seen his pic. :loveya:

I have a "birthing friendly pelvis" as it is put in my family :rofl:

that you're lucky on that one! :rofl: I do NOT have one o' those (although it's well-padded at this point) and it damn near killed me. :shrug:

that has its plus point. I don't know what my genes thought when they mixed together. My mom has beautiful hands with long thin fingers. No, I get the farmer hands from my dad. I always joke that my parents gave all the good looking genes to my brother, I got the rest :rofl:

Everyone in my family is fairly tall except me. I'm not quite 5'2". And they all have a full head of hair while I have thin, whispy, straight hair. Oh, yes, and I have tiny hands with short fingers ... but I play piano and violin -- what kind of a joke is that? Talent without the right hands? :shrug:

I managed to pass all the good stuff on to my kids, though. They both call me "midget" ... affectionately, of course. :loveya:

Your brother did not get ALL the good looking genes. :silly:

Your trip to the vet sounds unpleasant - ah well, a least the haircut was good. Driving around doing errands yesterday, I noticed that many of the newer apartments are going condo. I wonder how the renters are feeling about that? Have a good Thursday.

:hi:
I've noticed that about the apartments too here in Tallahassee. I wonder...do they combine two apartments into one to make them condos? :shrug: I hope you have a good day too, my friend!

that is why I've seen "buy one, get one free".

BOGO, huh? :rofl: I haven't seen THAT one, yet.

All I can say is EWWWWW! Animals sure have a way of giving you unpleasant little gifts like that, eh? x( But that doesn't make them any less loveable.

:hi::hug:
Yes, they sure do have a way! But, Tony's so damned cute now with his new haircut, I couldn't be mad at him for more than a couple of minutes. :rofl: How's every little thing in your world?

Spring is sprung and I'm looking forward to Summer. :bounce:

:bounce:
I love summer SO much! Business as usual for me too today!

I get the picture...it's time for me to call it a Wednesday evening. See ya in six hours. :-)

:hi:
Have a good rest! :bounce: Thanks for stopping in and saying Hello!

it is supposed to be in the 60's and sunny today. :bounce: :bounce:

Clintmax, I sympathize with you about the software.:hug: I hate buying software only to have it mess up or just not even install correctly. :banghead: Like you said, once that seal is broke you're stuck with it and I've always thought that was wrong because of situations like yours.:grr:

Can't wait to see Tony's new haircut. I'll bet that's cute.:applause:

Have a good day everyone because after today there is only one more day.:bounce:

:hi::bounce:
I understand WHY you can't return opened software and things, but it makes it hard to be satisfied with the manufacturer and the store. HAve a great day, Man! :bounce:

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Wow, that was an interesting trip to the groomers! :scared: I've never had a pet do that in the car ... knock on wood. That must've been really terrible! :puke:

I hope you can get your Roxio working. It sucks when you buy software and can't get it installed. That was the story of my life when I first got my laptop (and it was supposed to come with all the goodies installed). Frustrating. :banghead:

I worked my fingers to the bone yesterday, literally! A fingernail got caught on something and tore off past where it's supposed to. Now my whole finger is sore. And my hands are swollen from doing too much ... I THINK that's why they're swollen. Can't imagine any other reason. I made good progress, though. And our realtor called to tell me things are still on track. :D

No pic yet, but I'll try to get one to you.

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you this morning! I was hoping I'd see you before I had to leave for work! :bounce: Yes, the trip to the groomers wasn't any too fun, but it's over now and Tony is adorable in his new haircut! I can't wait for you to see it! :bounce:

OUCH! I'm sorry you hurt your hands that way! Sounds painful as hells! :hug: At the VERY least, you got a lot done. You can be proud of THAT. I'm glad things are still on track...it's getting close you know!

Whenever you CAN post your picture is OK...I know you have lots going on right now! :hug::loveya:

just so I could see you. :loveya: :hug: I'd go NUTS with all this going on and no morning crew!

I'm waiting for the new Tony pics -- I bet he is adorable! :bounce:

Yesterday I got my hair cut, so at least I'm not so unkempt now. I might take a few more breaks today and maybe get the camera out ... if I can still find it. :D

It's really strange about moving. I'm excited and all that, but I feel like I'm on the verge of crying all the time. Maybe it's just the exhaustion. :shrug: I am NOT looking forward to living apart from harleydad for however long it ends up being. The longest we've been away from each other in 30 years is three weeks, and that was when I was visiting my sister and mom.
:scared:

:loveya::hug::loveya:
You know I'm always here for you, my dear! We ALL are! I'm glad we can get some good things in your life in a crazy time like this. :hug: Being apart is NEVER any fun. I know how you feel. Hopefully, it won't be for very long! *crosses fingers* I'm sure you ARE exhausted...moving is one of the hardest things!

ALL of you. Thanks for that. :blush: :loveya: :hug: You're a sweetie yourself. :loveya: I hope it doesn't look like I'm dissing everyone, especially in the evenings, when I'm not around. I'm just too tired by then ... and am still on the PC, which is not as convenient as the laptop. :(

We're still hoping that harleydad's bosses change their minds and let him work remotely. We'll just have to wait it out. And I'm glad harleykid will be there. She's really excited about us going up and she plans on trading moving help back and forth (they're building a house, too).

I'm trying to get all the packing done early so I can rest for at least a few days before we have to make that long drive. I'm DREADING that! I get to take the minivan with all the cats in it and harleydad is going to drive my Mustang. (How did I agree to that?) Right now we're looking for some hand-held CB radios for when we get in the mountains and our cell phones don't work.

I'm rambling ... :blush:

You've got LOTS on your mind. Driving the van with all the cats is going to be an interesting adventure, I'm sure. Tony came to Florida from Missouri on a plane, so I'm not sure how he'd be in a car for 16 hours. :shrug:

that we have to start giving them 3 days before the trip. It's to relax them, without drugs. They LOVE taking remedies b/c we put them in a bit of baby food diluted with water ("gravy"). We bought them new traveling carriers and Sabrina has been sleeping in one of them. So that's a good thing. They do better in the minivan than the Mustang, probably b/c the Mustang is a convertible and is a bit noisier.

Our dog, Sundance, was a great traveler. The cats we used to have were pretty bad, but they settled down after about 30 minutes when we drove down here from NY. If Tony doesn't puke in the car now, he probably would be OK for most trips ... assuming he poops first. :rofl:

Well, thanks for letting me babble on. You're right about LOTS on my mind. :hug:

because he's going to have to go back to Missouri to become a daddy when he gets old enough! The breeder retained breeding rights to him! So we'll just see! It's about time for me to get going. I have to eat breakfast and get ready for work this morning. I'll see you in the morning, my dear! I hope you feel better today! :hug::loveya:

Better take him on lots of short trips meanwhile. :D

Have a great day! I'm going to take my time getting going this morning. See you in the AM! :loveya: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hi:

:hug::loveya::loveya:

:hi:

:hi:
How's every little thing?

I just made a lengthy (rant) post in GD after a looong time.

Sorry to hear about your Roxio (I have a 3 year old version of Easy CD creator that works just fine). Trust these guys to add some fake 'features' as a pretext to double the price and release a new 'version' :spank:

Also, software return policy is really crappy and plain unfair to the buyer. x( x(

for a reason. I could bring them home, burn a copy and have the software for free. SO I understand why. I just have to get Roxio to help me!

Sorry about your puppy accident and the roxio, I wonder what the problem is? The older versions always installed perfectly for me. However, here at work we use Nero and since the last upgrade from them, NOTHING works. I've had to switch to memory stick's in order to back up the system until I can get this under control. I wish you well with that and a speedy conclusion to it!

I will get a picture in a day or two, well maybe this weekend anyway.


Anyone see Billyskank around? He's been scarce since I came back.:) :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals:

:hi::hug:
Well! We both have issues going on, don't we? I HATE it too...it's frustrating as hells! I haven't seen Billy today. I'm not sure where he is. :shrug:

I hate it when that happens. Do you think Tony was nervous about being groomed?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

The pool will turn purple if you put anything like that in it. :rofl:

That is totally the wrong type of water-sports.
err
I hate to ask this but why did you add tracer chemicals to your pool?

we don't. It's just what we used to tell the kids. :rofl:

and No. My name isn't Princess_Raining_Waters.
I'm just teasing. :evilgrin:


OMG I'll be there in 7 days. :scared:
What was I thinking! *bangs head on wall* How will I be able to say goodbye again.

:rofl: We'll put extra chlorine in the pool that day. :rofl:

SEVEN days?! I'll PM you my phone number, etc. What day are you coming HERE? :bounce: What time? I hope we have nice weather! What would you like to BBQ? Drink? :bounce:

without me????

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

to see if we'll open the door for her next time. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

And you ARE invited! :loveya: :loveya: :hug:

It must be a woman thing. I'll send you a PM later today with the information about my hotel and my cell phone number.
You invited us for Saturday. I predict that the weather will be hot and wonderful.
I won't know what I'm drinking until after my doctor's appointment on Monday. It seems as if he added a little test to my blood work that I wasn't aware of. Now my doctor is freakin' out over my elevated sugar level. I was pretty darned upset after I got the letter about it last Saturday. Luckily one of my close DU friends pointed out that I'm not swimming in glucose = 178 isn't terribly bad. I think I'll just need to cut out complex carbohydrates. x( I love southern-style potato salad.

We must know every detail! :rofl: I PMed you already.

OK, Saturday it is! I couldn't remember if that was firm. :blush:

Whaaaaat? I hope your appointment goes OK. :hug: We can always have filtered water and iced tea. I don't know how to make southern-style potato salad -- do you have a recipe? You need to cut out complex carbs? I would think simple carbs would be worse ... cake, white bread, etc. I make some awesome grilled veggies, if it comes to that.

However I do love cakes, brownies, ice cream and chocolate. All of my comfort foods just got taken away because it'll be worse for my body if I continue as I have been.

I love love love grilled veggies. I'll bring my own Splenda if all I can drink is real iced tea.

:hi::hug:
Either that, or I didn't recognize that he needed to go and he JUST couldn't hold it any longer. How did your day go yesterday?

I took my brand new laptop into Cingular to have the PCMCIA software installed. I want to go wireless into the world. www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5164606
Bottom line ~ I threatened to return a very expensive laptop. Then I let Dell solve the problem to my satisfaction. It seems like all computers are changing over to the express slot. The salesman's mistake worked out in my favor.

Especially since it worked out in YOUR favor! It seems like it doesn't happen that way that often!

IF I hadn't gone to the trouble of taking my old Dell in for show_and_tell it wouldn't have made me so mad. I actually got more money back from Dell than I spent for the USB Interface Adapter with shipping.

The sales tech at Cingular told me that he doesn't know when they will be making an air-card for the express slot. Dell told me that Verizon will be coming out with one on around a month. Dell seems to think that Cingular won't be far behind. :shrug: Once again technology is ahead of the communications about it.

:hug:

It's going to be a wonderful day! I am taking both laptops and the digital camera over to Gail's this afternoon. I ran into a snag with Dell yesterday so I don't know which Dell I'll be flying with 7 days from now.
OMG~ I can feel the excitement building! omg omg omg !

In ... Out ...


LOL


You are allowed to be excited. I know I will be the days before I come to you

I'm feeling a little lightheaded from the lack of sugar in my system as it is.
I'll only be home for 3 weeks before I head west. I honestly don't know how long I'll be home before I pick you up. It doesn't look like I'll be slowing down again now that I'm not just spinning my wheels while the rear is jacked up on blocks.

Hey girl!!! HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

I think I might be home at thanksgiving for the first time since 2001.
My throat gets a huge lump in it just thinking about all of the ramifications from this summer.

Couldn't get my internet up yesterday to save my soul. It'll do that once in a while, and it's so frustrating. So much so, that I just left for work extra early.

The rain has finally stopped and the sun is expected to make a showing. I sure hope that they are right. This is getting depressing!

Thank gawd it cleared up long enough for us to go rowing last night. Ah, and what fun that was. I just love being on the river. Been rowing in an eight this season. Typically I row a four, so this is taking a little getting used to. But the challenge is welcomed of course.

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you had such a good time! :bounce: If you can be outside doing something you love in the sunshine, it makes it even more enjoyable! :bounce: It's good to see you this morning! I'm sorry your internet was acting up yesterday. :hug:

wonderful when it works, and I guess you can attest to that. Yeah, when our computers are down for five minutes we panic!

from Friday through Monday. x( THAT sucked! :mad:

Your computers down? That clearly would be a nightmare. Gotta head out now. Catch you later.

I'm feeling too lazy to post a picture right now.

:hi:
You are, huh? :rofl:

I just put you in, Haruka, so you'll be in the crew listing starting in the morning! :bounce:

I hope everybody has a great day today! Tomorrow is FRIDAY! :woohoo: Take care of each other and I'll see you in the morning! :grouphug:

Hi TJ and Swimboy!

:hi:

How's things with you this fine day?

:hug:

How about yourself? How is work going? Ack! Its time for me to start getting read or I'll be late.

Talk to you later!:loveya:

I had a brief flurry of activity, and got a load of things done. :bounce:

Now lunch is calling for me, so it's about to get even better.

Hope you have a great day.

:loveya:

:donut:



:hi:

I really have no pics. I guess I have a few online in different places, but I have none that I took or anything.

Who's Tony? A pet?

Morning!

I posted my pic in yesterday's thread. Did you get it?



:hi:

:hi:

How are you today?

I just woke up.
Time to start my day by DUing! :hi:
