Welcome back!

We had an emergency tonight and I got some things on the blog messed up.

One of our very close neighbors got taken to the emergency room tonight. When they were done with him after some breathing treatments and shot and meds, he was released. Well, eleven at night is not the time to need a ride from one town to another.

I took off from the computer screen to get him and when I got back, I fouled up something that I was writing. Oh well………………..DELETE sure does come in handy sometimes. I guess that electronics can be more forgiving than paper at times.

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).

When I go online, I use our cell phone as the modem.

I never realized that could be a problem. Everything goes fine, and then zap, a phone call. What ever I was loading on the computer is now lost and I have to start again. Of course when it is my mother-in-law calling and she wants to talk about something, she will keep calling and calling. So each time that I start to reload, I end up reloading each time she calls. She knows that the phone is used for this, yet she will say each time that she does not know.

Aggravating is mild to what I feel when this happens. We have voice mail and will get back to her, but she does not care, she keeps calling and calling which causes problems. She has been told this so many times and yet each time she will say that she did not know that. Hunh, yeah right. It is almost as if she has an inbuilt radar to know when to call to interrupt something. That is why I have to do online things at horrible hours of the morning or night and even then there is no guarantee that she will not call.

Sometimes it can be amazing just how her memory can be so convenient in what she remembers, and what she does not remember. Since it is a cell phone, each call counts against a total number of minutes and yet she will call, hang up and call right back to talk about something else that could have been dealt with the first time. I am not being paranoid about this. There are days when she has called every 5 minutes to talk about nothing but junk. When told that we have limited numbers of minutes each time she will say that she did not know. This has gone on for years, and yet she will say she did not know. OY Her memory is such that she will remember things that are important to her easily, but when it comes to things that are NOT important to HER, she will not remember. Yes, I am blowing off steam here and griping. I’ve got to do it somewhere, because she will not listen to either me or to her son. Thank you for your time and for ‘lending an ear’/

Yes, there is an old phrase that starts that way and ends with something else -snickering heard.

However, I am not talking about odors or other things right now. I am on an old piece of office furniture that has had the back taken off. It is handy for what I need, except for the 5 wheels that it has that like to bump (painfully) on the backs of my heels. It rolls around where I need it, I do not have to worry about any arms getting in the way, or having to sit on it in a specific manner.

It is comfortable unless I have spent too many hours sitting on it. If my husband was to tell me to ‘ahem’ “sit on it”, right now I would tell him that I already am sitting on it.

This sounds like another song doesn’t it? *snicker inserted here*

I am just being a smart alec. Or in other words I am being very elliptical in getting to the point of what I am writing. I have been reviewing some of what I’ve been writing and noticed a lot of gripes. Well, griped are OK in their own way and in their own time. People do need a way to blow off steam in one way or another.

So far, in our country you are allowed to gripe, grouch, groan, etc., or in other words to express your opinions. Since I can describe myself in 3 words - opinionated fat broad- being able to express my opinions is a plus. I am, after all, NOT a pressure cooker designed to hold pressure and not explode. It is nice to realize that many other people in the internet are also opinionated, too.

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!

Have you ever wondered where people get all of the things that they write about?

I used to until I got involved with blogging. Everyday things go on in people’s lives and that is what they write about. Sometimes it can be interesting, sometimes it can be boring.

I guess what makes the difference is what each person makes of what they read. Intelligent thought carefully placed down by keyboard, pen, pencil, maker, or even crayon can be entertaining, or even thought provoking. Evn idle thoughts can be entertaining to people. It is all in how you read it. Right now, I am just letting mymind free think as I type in what is going through it. Is it interesting? I don’t know, after all they are my thoughts aren’t they?

Yes, everybody has wishes. One of mine involves the use and purchase of a laptop.

It would be nice to get something else to work on sometimes. Something that would allow me to sit on the couch and sit with ease instead of having to sit on an office chair. It could be worse though. At least I have a computer and can go online and blog and other stuff. It can be fun. I just wish that everyone would have the opportunity to enjoy the same things.

Yes, a laptop would be nice.

Yes, this opinionated fat broad (my description) is back on the internet.

Not being able to count on the phone, not being able to get rid of junk e-mail are both extreme hassles. I have finally gotten through all of the e-mail that built up over the past few days. YUK to the extreme.

Phone cutting in and out. Sometimes we can make a call, sometimes we can’t. Now, as for internet access…..the phone is the modem.

My computer has learned quite a few of the many cuss words that i have been trying to UNlearn ever since I learned them. The cats have been hiding from me and look at me when they see me as if I am crazy. My husband has been trying to stay in another room, no matter which one I am currently in.

All of this because our phone provider has been bought out by another company and they are trying to attune all of the towers to work together. Well, together, they ain’t. I have no idea when I will be able to post again because access has been very spotty.
