What's Up with this?

Ok - what's up with the tennis dresses at this years US Open? Sharpova looks like she is going for a space walk, Wozniack looks like she is going to the prom and Venus Williams has her dress on inside out and it has a very bad hem job. Another girl had on a flapper dress with a bow on her butt. Are they trying to out do each other in some weird fashion category? Usually it's only the Williams sisters with the strange fashion sense.

Stop It!

I encourage people to vote by telling them if you don't vote you have no right to complain and we all love to complain about the government. The Health Care Reform Issue has taken complaining to a whole new level.

This is suppose to be a debate so we can come up with a solution to the problem. What I have heard so far is not a debate, It's just yelling and screaming. Yelling and screaming gets us nowhere. It just tears the country apart.

So, people on both sides - lower your voices and take turns, which means that half the time you need to shut up and listen to what the other side has to say.

So Many Things, So Little Time

Sorry I haven't posted for some time but you know how it goes - the more time you have, the less you get done.

I've been getting used to my new computer and the new Microsoft software. Word, Excell, etc. - everything is there just in different places and it's taking time to find all my tools.

And then there is my Farm on Facebook. My God that thing takes a lot of time!

Husband is gaining ground with the very efficient help from his Physical Therapist. She is absolutely wonderful. I think he will be better than he was before the fall when she is done with him and his shoulder finally heals.

The compressor froze up on the AC unit today - when it rains it pours. The unit is eleven years old and, of course, out of warranty. The repairman said he could put in a new compressor for $1500 or get whole new unit for $2000 with a ten year warranty. I guess this was a no brain er. So, we now have AC again and the temperature outside is so cool we will be sleeping with the windows open tonight - guess we could have waited a little.

Love, Love, Love

I just love my new computer! Probably more memory, etc than I need but then again, you never know.

Oink Oink

One-A-Day Vitamins have come out with two new vitamins just for teens. One is for girls and one is for boys. The one for girls was developed to promote "good skin". The one for boys is to promote stronger "muscles".

How sexist is this?

Guess what kind of a pig thought this one up?!

What Have I Done to Myself?

Daughter signed me up on Facebook on Saturday. I just wanted to be able to see her page and maybe my sister's. Not that simple.

I now have a farm with crops growing all the time so I must go harvest every day - I never have enough money to plant all my plowed land - I need more pine trees for a proper wind break for my crops - I accidentally bought a chicken so she is pecking in the tomato beds all day and my dog won't quit barking.

This dam thing is addictive. I can't stop. Do they have a Rehab Facility in Farm Town?

If you have a farm, please send me some pine trees so I can protect my crops.

If you can't find me, I will be in the corn field.

Crash & Burn

My computer crashed and burned this weekend. What a mess. Thank God (or whoever) for daughter and son-in-law. They hoofed it off to Best Buy with my old tower in hand and picked out a new one for me. Geek Squad transferred all my files from the old tower to the new one so almost all is good. Somehow during all this, I lost all of my Genealogy files. My Family Tree is bare. This makes me really sad. So many of hours of work gone. Why the hell didn't I make a hard copy? It's going to be so hard to start all over again.

I have been complaining for some time about my computer being slow and blaming Fios. Apologies to Fios - it was the computer. I now have good speed - not lighting - but good.

New tower is a little hard to turn on. The button doesn't seem to work right when you press it straight in but maybe this is just a quirk of this particular computer. We shall see.
