Mail

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Welcome back!

I have another gripe. I know, I know, there are a lot of gripes in the world.

This gripe concerns junk mail. Maybe I should have called this post junk mail, but oh well. Every day we get mail in the box. We bring it in and go through it. Credit card offers galore, it would be nice i we had asked for them. When we read what the offers say, they make it sound as if WE wanted their junk in our mail box. sounds like spam doesn’t it? :)

Any way, when I go through these things, I remove our names and address from the paperwork. We have enough bills right now without having to worry about someone using this junk mail and stealing the use of our names. As I go through these things, I have noticed that The advertisers will plaster our names all over the paper as if we do not know who we are. Ridiculous. so, as I go through this junk I have to remove each and every place where our names are mentioned, remove any numbers that are included.

These things are a pain in the rump. When they include a postage paid envelope, I very kindly put in that envelope part of the form with the name on it and tell them to take our names off of their mailing lists. Let them pay the postage.

Games 3

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Previously I had mentioned laptops. I have since learned that it is one word, not two. Live and learn, oh well.

Now I am going to mention games again. The playstation 3 in particular. It has more than just one game with it, or that goes to it. Sometimes I wonder just how many games there are that are available. I have seen so many on the internet that it is amazing that anyone gets their work done. I imagine that there are literally thousands of types of games to play. I do not know how many are available for the play station, but it has to be a lot. Would you need to have library shelves for them all? Hmmm, it makes me wonder.

Lap Tops

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I have seen people walking around with those mini computers under their arms. You know, lap tops? I wonder how much memory they have in them, how much they cost, what is their performance like, all sorts of questions.

My sister now has a lap top ( is that one word or two?), and uses a cooling pad when using it. I do not know what brand it is, a Sony Vaio, or some other brand. I know which type of computer she does not want. It will not interchange with other computers, and has a different type of program in it. (Won’t say the name.) One of these days, I might ask her. I just know that it has proven to be very convenient for her when she needs to stay in one place, and yet needs to be comfortable.

Who knows, maybe one day I will be able to get a laptop for myself, or not. Right now, I’m happy. :)

Pictures

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

have you ever seen the pictures that some sites post? Some of them are beautiful. Some are no so. There are times that I wonder how many of them are taken by digital cameras?

We have some standard cameras in our house. You know, the type that you take out the film and then send it in to be developed and pictures made? Not like the Polaroid type of pictures. I have never used the new type of camera that is digital. I wonder sometimes just how easy or hard it is to use. How do you develop the pictures? Remember, I am still analog in some ways. I am still learning every day.
