Holiday Thanks For My Parents
I love Christmas, it’s my favorite holiday of the year. From as far back as I can remember that has been the case. I think this is partially the case because of the visual beauty of the holiday. Since I was little I’ve always enjoyed the sights of Christmas. My parents go all out. The [...]
Printing Here And Now
I remember when printers were huge and expensive. It seems like as printers become more affordable they’re also becoming smaller. Last year my brother (LB2) bought my Dad a portable printer for his laptop. It’s something like that a receipt printer but bigger – it prints on regular size paper. It saved both my Mom and [...]
Only A Few More Days To Florida!
I’m so excited – I’m going to Disney next week! I’m really looking forward to seeing CJ’s reaction in the parks as he’s really into Mickey and Pooh. He and I are flying out on Tuesday. My parents, as well as my brother LB3 and his girlfriend Diva, are driving down. They left last night. [...]
My House Is A Little Warmer
My parents and LB3 were over this morning. My Dad is the go to man in my life. My husband is not exceptionally handy so there are some things I wouldn’t even want him to try. I mentioned to Dad that there was no heat in TJ’s room. I knew what the problem was there [...]
Won’t You Be My Farmville Neighbor?
So I’ve been on Facebook for a bit now and I play the game Farmville. It’s a cute little game. I take care of my farm every day and I’m at level 16 now. I want a house. My Dad says I don’t need one but when I scoped out his farm I noticed he [...]
I Need The Power Of The Verizon Network In My Living Room. Or My Dad.
I came home this afternoon and after a short while turned on the computer. Shortly after the internet went down. I waited a bit and checked again and it was still down. Interestingly, both incoming and outgoing email (which I get through POP in Thunderbird) continued to work. I called FIOS tech support and after [...]
Heads Or Tails 96
This weeks game is TAILS – “Summertime memory”. One of my favorite summertime memories is from a camping trip taken several years ago. It was during early August, on a family camping trip to Watkins Glen NY. We camp there every year. We were all sitting outside – myself, RB, CJ, my Dad, my Mom [...]
Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs
As a member of the Mom Bloggers Club I was given the opportunity to share my thoughts on Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs. I was happy to take part in this because I like Oscar Mayer Hot dogs. They have a wide variety of hot dogs – my favorite are the beef and the beef & [...]
How surgery went and how I’m feeling
Well, some people have been calling, emailing and texting to see how I’m feeling. And I thought noone noticed. Here’s the scoop. BEFORE SURGERY Due to issues with my insurance I actually didn’t know for sure until late Thursday morning that I could have the surgery. Talk about stressful! That whole situation made me want [...]
To grandma’s house we go
This week’s Heads or Tails prompt is “Getting There”. My Mom and Dad were away so I needed to let their dogs out. They only live down the street so I walk there. Between last night and today we got a foot of snow, so the walk looked a little different than usual. Come on, [...]
Drive exchanged
I’ve had the longest day today. Me and my Dad had to get up early to go pick up an Angel Food order. Then RB, the boys and I went to a ceremony where TJ was presented with that Rudy Award. It was cool, his smile was huge. On the way back, I stopped at [...]
Drive replacement at a stand still
The title. I mean it literally. Yesterday we started this drive replacement. We thought the new drive was cloning the bad drive. When I went to bed last night the cursor was blinking in the upper left corner of the monitor. It was still doing that as of ten minutes ago when my Dad came [...]
Dad, Dad, he’s our man.
The computer was really misbehaving badly and we didn’t want to risk waiting any longer so I picked up an internal hard drive at the local Best Buy. Dad is in the middle of attempting to install the new drive and copy or clone the contents of the original drive, or something like that. I’m [...]
Bad drive
Two days ago I put my computer in stand by while I did some things around the house and ran some errands. I returned three hours later and turned the monitor back. I expected the computer to show my apps and behave normally but instead I saw a bunch of text on the screen. It [...]
The story of a father, two sons and eyeglasses
Many years ago my entire family took a vacation in Walt Disney World. We all went out on water sprites and the oldest of my three younger brothers crashed into my father’s causing him to go flying off. He lost his glasses in the Disney Seven Seas Lagoon. This past week my father went on [...]
