I IS NO LONGER TECHNOLOGICALLY OBSOLETE!

I hope it lasts.

I really hope I don't immediately need the $$ I spent for the cheapest suitable and available PC at Wally World for more important stuff... but I simply can't go on trying to catch an open space at the library when it's open and I'm around.

I saw this come up on my Friends page and had fun answering it! Insaneladybug, I confess to agreeing with some of your answers (i.e., leaving them there ( Read more... )

Weeks ago now I finally caught the the end of the last episode of MLP: FiM. There's quite a lot that deserved more exploration-- i.e. that each of the ponies should have been able to grow and benefit from being inserted in their opposites' roles; lessee if I can remember.... things like Rainbow Dash finding a bit of Fluttershy's compassion and ( Read more... )

....to do something frivolous with her Christmas gift. I'd mentioned that the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater was putting on a production of Prokofiev's Cinderella, and she made me promise to go. (Yes, she can do that ( Read more... )

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Especially to rhapsody14, who I know is well ahead of my time zone, and Already There.

Post- Tropical Depression Sandy has blown over. The neighbor's leaning tree has been taken care of, so there are no obvious threats to my phone or electricity at the moment. The worst of everything was elsewhere, thank goodness; we got out of it with a mere 6 hour blackout Monday night, and a damp basement, and a new water- stain on my ceiling ( Read more... )

There are Many Things I have wanted to post/ vent about for some time-- wild animals (I have at least one doe and fawn visiting my property, but I think two does and three fawns), I saw a bear on the way to work. What's happening at Penn State, and my sister has worked out resin- casting and makes Zelda Rupee- like gems. Cat things, and car things ( Read more... )

I spoke to my sister Friday night. The evacuation order was lifted as of 8pm, and she was planning to go home today (Saturday.) No word yet on how much smoke damage or anything, but the immediate neighborhood was a mile or more from the edge of the fire, as best I could make out from the maps I found. I do thank all you'ns for prayers and best ( Read more... )

Real Life has been intruding, as it must. I now have a second job as a Home Helper sort-- not a nurse, but visiting help for shut- ins. I now know how to cook dippy eggs (I'll explain that if I have to!) and I am slowly learning to understand people who can no longer speak plainly. It's an adjustment; the schedule for any such job is spotty, and I ( Read more... )
