Wonderfully Weird Weather

December weather, at least here in the Midwest, set a record for the warmest December! And even into January it is continuing with today's temps into the 40's. Our normal high should be around 30. A nice change from our colder than normal November. All of our winter related businesses are hurting, and snow loving skiers and snowmobilers aren't very happy , But I sure am! I hate the cold and shoveling snow. Not to mention the heating bill savings! Makes me want to get the RV out and go camping! .....But I expect that this won't last. We still have a long winter ahead of us. But I can dream, right?

Mom's home

This is my last post of a very lucky lady, my Mom.
She is now back home and happy to be there. She's doing extremely well and expects to go back to work in a couple of weeks.
Oh, and she's getting frisky, if you know what I mean. So any of you lurkers out there waiting for you chance at this lovely lady, the time is now! But first, if you want her phone number, you're gonna need to send me some background info on yourself. She might not be too picky, ( she says she's not gettin any younger) but I'm not gonna let any Tom, little Dick or Harry show up with out knowing he's;

1. A non smoker.
2. Not secretly married.
3. Financially secure.
4. Reasonably good looking.
5. Likes to buy her pretty baubles, and take her places.
6. And is physicaly equipped to satisfy her needs.

So, e-mail me with all the proper documentation, a nice hand written letter why your mister right, and picture proof of you physical credentials, and her phone number is yours!

Good Luck!

Birthday boy

Today's Craig's Birthday!
We don't exchange presents anymore. Haven't for years now. We both work today, so we're cutting out early, and I'll take him out for dinner. I always do some little thing. One year we went to the Casino in Mt Pleasant, where he actually won . Last year I surprised him by changing is background on his computer. He was quite surprised when he booted up, and this came up!

He really liked how I stretched it to make him look so thin. He thinks I'm some kind of computer genius. But then again, he knows even less about computers than I do. He still has this picture on his computer.
You also probably noticed, I didn't say how old he is...........Lets just say he's lots older than me!

(edited)
Okay, he caught me. He's only 2 years 9 months 7 days older.
Jeez,I think some one's a little sensitive!

I Hate Computers

I have this love/hate relationship with my computer. I love it for all that it can do. And I hate it when it doesn't do it.
Case in point.
For Christmas I got a new PC game. 1701 A. D. I'm really a strategy game junkie. I can play them for hours at a time. Craig looks and thinks, "That looks like work. And your not even getting paid for it." He just doesn't understand!
But back to this love/hate thing. My computer is 3 years old. When I bought it I loaded it with the top memory and graphics card for gaming. So, loaded the new game, and it won't play! Damn, I hate that. So, I dig out the help file, and start reading. And I always do that, jump right in to a project, and when something goes wrong, then I read directions. But more on that later. I find that my 128mb GeForce 4600 graphics card is not supported! They only go back to the 4800! Crap! So off to Best Buy to get an upgrade. So all I need is the next step up, a 256 card. But of course I decide on the 512. More Power! , is what I always say! I find one and just before I leave, decide to check with a sales person to make sure I've got the right one. Of course, I didn't! I picked up a PCI and needed a AGP. what the f*^k! Find out the older computers had an AGP slot and the newer ones have a PCI slot. What ever the f*^k that means.
So I get it home and think, this should be easy.
So turn off the puter, open the case,
pull out the old one, put in the new one,
close the case, and restart the computer.
Easy enough, but the game won't play!
Okay, where's the directions!
You'd think I'd learn huh?
Well, I find I was suppose to
un-install the old drivers first,
so I do that. Then it came with an install disc, so I do that.
Still no good. So off to their homepage. Say's I need updated drivers. What? I just bought the damn thing! Okay, downloaded the drivers. Still no good. Then I realize the control center isn't right. So I un-install the whole damn thing, and then re-install. Finally, everything works now!
It probably would have been easier,
If I followed the directions first.
But that would be more of a female thing, right?
Here's a pic of the old one and the
new, smaller, more powerful, new one.
It's almost to pretty to hide in the case.

A new Year

My hope 2007,

Peace and happiness for you all!
