Computer Ordered



OK--thanks to anonymous commenter and friends who emailed--I ordered the second one, and even with the $44 shipping the total was only $863.63
I love the no sales tax part. Hope I die before congress insists on allowing states to get sales tax on these interstate purchases.
I've seen where flat screen monitors have really come down in price. I'll need another one.

Tonight we tried to get the older computer switched over to the new HD. It was a strange experience. When the old HD, which had all of a sudden started acting right when it heard me talking in its presence about how it was gonna be replaced, came out of the machine, I got all si-fi.....or sentimental and felt like a part of my brain or soul or something was being removed by surgery. I really felt like I owed it a decent funeral or a going away party at the least. That little HD had done so much for me....made me a good bit of money, helped keep me semi-sane by facilitating the ability to rant, rage and vent to others, allowed me to make new friends, keep in touch & be touched by old ones, ....oh my gosh, in the future,, will we be buried with our hard drives?

Of course--in computerville nothing goes smoothly, so the computer only recognizes 8 GB of the new 200 GB HD....BUT.....Heather is coming in the morning, and intuitive as she is, I have confidence that she will be able to solve the problem for me.

And one big hurdle went well-----Win XP re-installed without a lot of rig-a-ma-roe like having to get approval from MS to re-install and all--as I had feared might be the case.

Look how big the fans are in a Sony Vaio--see photo.
And , see the cute little Google travel case Xmas laptop accessories---I have my wireless mini-mouse in charging rite now. And if the (printed in china) directions that came with it are true, then I will be experiencing "somatology" because, as it also says, "you can get rid of the bondage of wires and enjoy your beautiful life from the high technology".

Can't post any more photos of my toenail or I will lose friends. Everyone will step back 10 paces. I actually wore a shoe today, well two actually--older Nike Air Jordans with the toe cut open. They were some I biked in Italy with and kept going thru shallow streams and getting filled with water so I cut them open so the water would just flow thru. They have lost most of their bounce now, so make great bamboo planting shoes for people who don't need any pressure on their toes. And hey--now that I think about it--I don't want any pressure of any kind !!

Not hurting anymore thank goodness. But looks AWFUL.....

Do You Know This Plant?

Image
I photographed this small weeping shrub in Pensacola in a front yard. The purple flowers and orange berries were present at the same time on this georgous plant. The same yard had some of the same species but with white flowers that were not nearly as vibrant. It looked great in spite of a very dry summer and it is planted close to salt water. I have been doing online searches trying to identify this plant to no avail. Click to see big photo

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Miller's Birthday Today

Image
Today would have been Miller's 26th B'Day. Here are some birthday photos from his 11th and his 15th birthday and a few others. In one he has on some of his Grandaddy's vintage Lily Pulitzer pants. In another he was so proud of the size of the catfish that he caught that he was holding the cat for size comparison. He only bleached his hair once. He walked into the room with the cat and put it on his head, but it didn't work out as planned and I always thought it was one of the funniest photos of him I ever took. Miller was the most brilliant, funny, charming, thoughtful, & loving person I have ever known. He was finishing up Grad School and had every pilot's certification possible for his age when he died. There is no telling what he would be doing today had he lived. We all miss him so.
