Welcome back!

Maybe I should have said, how do you talk to people?

On the phone is a popular way to talk, in person is also good. I also talk online to my brother-in-laws, yes, more than one that is. I know that some will need live chat software for their laptops, others will need new programs for their desk tops. Do people still use desktop computers?

I do, do not have any laptop. Of course, I have learned how to do a lot of talking with only my nouth. I do sometimes get into trouble though. At least when I type it on the keyboard, I have time to think before typing and can delete.

You do not want to know how many times I delete things because of typos. That is another story.

It seems like everywhere I turn I hear about bluray.

What is it? What does it do? How does it work.

I must be left out of the loop because I only have regular DVD. I still use VHS tapes and watch them, too. I’ve heard that bluray is supposed to be better, but I do not have the machine to find out. Maybe someone will get me one for Christmas. Of course, then I’ll have to get some of those discs to put in and watch, too. Our video collection right now mubers in the hundreds. One of our friends said that we could supply a video store. Maybe a small one. At least we do not have to worry about having things on TV that we do not want to watch.

My computer is driving me nuts.

I just typed in an article and all of a sudden I found myself on a new page, and what I had been typing was gone. WHAT WHAT WHAT *(&()^**&(_

It makes me wish that I had an external hard drive, instead of the tower that I have. Crazy things happening while I try to blog do not make me a happy camper.

I wonder if it is the new download of my browser? It better not be, cause so far I have had no reason to want another. I need to study this and try to avoid nuts (except for eating that is).

I love to read. Science Fiction and Historical Romance books are amond some of my favorites.

Now when I heard about plasma mounts, I thought it was about some sort of futuristic gun mount. Nope, it is about mounting a plasma TV set. Learn something new everyday.

I can almost see it - you drive your car down the freeway, some idiot cuts in front of you and cuts you off, you use your plasma gun to give him a flat tire so he can’t do that to anyone else. Maybe not, that would start a new type of road rage, and that AIN’T nice.

Oh well, I used to wish that I could have an old fashioned arny tank for a vehicle so that no one would crowd me on the road. However with the price of gas these days NO WAY. Dreams can be fun.

We drive a Dodge Caravan.

It is not a new one, it was made in 1989. I always thought that if I needed parts for it I would ask for Dodge parts. Well, I have since learned that Mopar parts would also fit. What is a Mopar? I am not really familiar with all of the auto manufacturers that are out there, so to me the question was not stupid.

All that I can say now is that I am glad that I asked my husband instead of someone in an auto parts store. I have no wish to add to the ‘dumb housewife’ fable that goes around in those quarters. I mean that I replaced the points in a 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. I even managed to set them perfect the first time. All that I did later was to accidentally drop a screw down the distributor. It only took me half of an hour to set it right, and another one and a half hours to get the (*&^*) screw out of the distributor. Well, I guess that paying someone else to do the tune up on our car was actually worth the money. Our neighbor at the time had fun telling me that our car was hungry as I lay on top of the engine -growling at the screw. Live and learn.

My husband has recently gone through some pain with his big toenail. Now he’s trying to make himself bald.

Yes, I did say bald. Now, you might wonder what that has to do with singed eyebrows. Well, that is what I am going to talk about.

He likes to keep his hair short. Do you remember the buzz cut? Well, every once in a while, he gives himself one of those hair styles. This time however, the clippers had another idea of their own. It is called shorting out. Suddenly.

I heard a pop, a yipe, and then a loud thunk. Of course being the calm person that I am (ahem), I asked him if he was okay. He said yes, but that he just lost part of his eyebrow. That comment did nothing to calm me down. I checked him out as he brought out the offending clippers. Yup, one of his eyebrows had parts missing. It was a very interesting look for him, but not to be recommended. I trimmed his eyebrows so that they both matched. He gave me the clippers to check the cord for any breaks. It did not have any, but I am not ready to become a widow and I cut the cord so the clippers can’t be used again.

I am thankful that I still have a husband. He was wearing his flip flops at the time of the short and the electricity did not harm him except for the eyebrow of course.;)

I am still here. I just went through some interesting things with my computer. I learn a little each day. Hopefully the computer survives what I do to it.

Some programs….well, lets just say that my experimenting sometimes has unfortunate results. I won’t dance around about it, although Dansko shoes should help even me to dance, I messed up. Erased somethings that I did not want to have erased.

With the help of my brother-in-law Ed, things are basically back to good operating condition. Here’s hoping that I learn and don’t mess up again.

My husband and I both love a lot of types of music. Right now we are listening to early rock and roll to the tune of ‘Why must I be a teenager in love?’

Our grandpa had a bunch of cassette tapes of early rock and roll from the late 1850’s to the late 60’s.

It has been so much fun to hear all of the music. We can understand the words, hear the rhythm and actually sing along. I have no idea if the neighbors like to hear our voices, though.

Remember when I had complained about some of the spam getting in my e-mail?

I looked up the site for the FCC - http://www.fcc.gov/ - I found it.

They even have an e-mail address for obscene material. fccinfo@fcc.gov

It is unbelievable just what trash will end up in your box when you never asked for it in the first place. I would dearly enjoy finding a way to shut down those sites. Some of what gets sent out is stupid, some is down right obscene and gets me riled.

I wonder what makes them think that I want their trash? Yes, I am ranting. Sometimes, blowing steam can help get rid of pressure.

Yes, I do have a problem. My computer is slowing down. It is supposed to have a 10GB hard drive. However, the memory availability is down to only 4%. OWWWW

Something is absorbing the memory and I do not know how to get the unnecessary out, or what it is. I know that I can get a different hard drive that will have more memory, I just do not want to lose the items that I have stored right now.

Picky aren’t I?

I know that there are things that can be done. Like getting a ddr3, using memory sticks, new drive…..yada, yada, yada. I just do not know how to do these things. Anybody have any advice out there in internet land? It might help this basically analog person keep blogging. HELP!
