Got to take my ferret Sam to the vet again...he didn't eat for two days...so what does he do..he eats at the vet...$144. for x-rays and babysitting my ferret all day... Ordered a new keyboard. (this one is sticking...) got it today...the keys were mashed down, can't be used...nice... After my husband put the OLD keyboard on, MY acct. disappeared...yep..it was NOT on the computer..no files, no nothing...I was about ready to kill (I have a few thousand embroidery files on here..99.9% bought and no backup's. My husband the geek says it's not needed....hahahahahahahaha). So he reads his MICROSOFT bible...(it weighs about 10 lbs and is 8" thick). The computer says I'm still here...so he shuts it down, reboots and here I am. The MBible didn't help him at all....(neither did I...I just sat in the livingroom trying not to laugh or cry....or make jokes about his Mbible). I'm trying not to kill the computer, the ferret or the geek...but soooooommmmeee days....

Chrys, you lead the most interesting life!! and one of the most frustrating I've heard!! Sounds like it was one of those days you just keep banging your head against the wall until it doesn't hurt anymore!! Keep smiling chickie!! PS as I went to post this I looked up and caught my reflection in the window. I have the top half of my hair in pigtails cause I'm trying to grow it out and I am hating it, and I have grey roots showing - honestly - I'm > 50 wearing pigtails. Somedays you just got to wonder what's going to happen next! Laura

My hairdresser calls them natural highlights - but then she has to be nice to me because I can remember when she was at school tieing her hair in pigtails in the girls toilets and rolling over the top of her skirt..... Kath - there are days, and then there are Kath days.....has anybody muttered ancient chinese curses over you? ("May you live in interesting times" springs to mind) love and kisses, Jan

oh Chrys--I'm giggling..your day is not funny but hearing you tell it was hilarious (rather, reading you tellling about it!!) Computers drive me insane--I don't even try working on them past rebooting if something goes wrong.. Hope tomorrow is a better day ...well, less eventful!! Julie

My husband says I should have the words, watch out for the blue screen of death....she's commin your way. Embroidered on a t-shirt. My sister (the other geek)tells me just to hit the buttons till something happens....of course something happens...I mangle my files, get the blue screen of death, kill my acct, etc...just because SHE can do it and it works... Of course today we bought another keyboard. This one works....motto of the story is, don't buy a keyboard without typing practice first. Sam is STILL eating...making a liar out of his mother..(just like cars do....) It's ok...I keep telling myself I'm not really insane , it just seems that way.

Chrys--very familiar with the blue screen (she has visited us before with our laptop.) UUUUGGGGGHHHHH....knock wood though, finally working well. I have gotton to the point that I very seldom am on the desktop computer b/c the laptop is just too convenient while watching TV. Plus it is the one I use with my E-machine so I use it more. Unfortunately, it's the one that's given us the most headache! Don't worry, I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes too ... and I worship the ground my hairdresser walks on (he works miracles with my grey!) I am trying to grow my hair out..have gotton it way past my shoulders in the back but thanks to layers and once having bangs, the rest is taking it's time..I can finally do a braid down the back though so I like that. I feel like I am on an endless cycle w/my hair b/c I cut it short, let it grow while cussing the whole while that it's not growing fast enough. Then when I get it grown out, I get mad b/c I have to hot roll it and VOILA it gets short again. This time though--no short hair...I have made a promise to myself that NO short hair! My mom looks great w/short hair-I look like a boy! Julie

Chrys, your stories remind me of a women that I once worked with. She was married 4 times to some real hum dingers of men. She would tell us about the various things that they would do to "tick her off" and what she would do in return. I think my favorite of her stories has to be when she and hubby # whatever went out with some friends to the local nighttime hot spot and they where all kicking back the brown brew, well after closing the place they went to a 24 hours diner to get some breakfast. She and hubby had some words once at the diner, she gets mad gets up and goes to the bathroom BUT on her way back runs into a sheriffs deputy just coming into the diner. She stops him and tells him that there is a drunk sitting in her booth that will not leave her alone. He goes over to the booth ( she goes back to the bathroom) and takes hubby in for public intox.. The next day they release him after he sober up, he goes home and she greets him with " Where the "H" have you been all night? I came back from the bathroom and you where gone!!!!" He never did know that she was the reason he spent the night in the slammer. |

| This woman has had a very "Interesting Life" and the stories that she would tell us would have us all in tears from laughing so hard. Sometimes I am amazed that we has never sewn our fingers from laughing so hard. She too is one that should write a book about her many failed marriages. |
