A foodie, I am not.  I have a niece who is so adventurous, she’ll try anything at least once, no matter how disgusting it might sound, but me – well, I’m so lactose intolerant I’ve been known to shout at cows. Whenever you’re sensitive or allergic to a food group, you have to be paranoidContinue reading “brief interlude”

Well, joyous few-days-ago, anyway. Today I have a headache, a carry over from yesterday’s attorney/lawsuit – overstimulation. But a few days ago, I got my laptop back from “those repair dudes” and it’s AWESOME! They not only restored every single byte of my data, but they replaced the dead 40G hard drive with a brandContinue reading “Oh Joyous day!”

I got a good chuckle this morning when the phone rang here at work, and I answered in my usual fashion, and all I heard was heavy breathing. Not the breathing of someone who doesn’t realize you’ve answered the phone, and not the breathing of someone who doesn’t even realize their bluetooth headset just butt-dialedContinue reading “news you can use”

The first time cancer ever came near my life was several years ago, when a dear childhood friend of mine lost her husband to a strange, rare cancer. A few years after that, I lost my father to lung cancer. Two years ago, my family and I learned that a young woman I used toContinue reading “i’ve been to the mountain”

Did I mention my sister GOT A JOB?! Yep, sure ’nuff. Wasn’t even advertised. She found it through that old fashioned networking system people go on about, where a friend knew someone who needed someone . . . one comment between friends over lunch turned in to a resume ‘just to glance over’ which turnedContinue reading “take that, 2009!”

First let me say, I love Dell computers. I have two Inspirons and a Dell Mini, and absolutely love them – as far as hardware goes, I’ve had no issues at all, and I’ve had other computers. Compaq, Gateway, even a custom-made number that caught on fire one morning and burned (melted) to the ground.Continue reading “why i’ll never buy from dell again”
