Dog Talker

I watch my friends dogs once in awhile. I get free coffee and enjoy them. My friend has a dog trainer and I was fortunite to meet her. I was very suprised on how much the dog trainer could talk. Communication seemed to be her second passion after dog training. I have never met a person who talks so much and was amazed on her use of language. The dogs were acting in an excellant manner when she was with them probably because they could not get a bark in otherwise. Do you need a dog trainer?

Snow and stuff

I have not been doing much lately. The weather here in Pennsylvania has been cold and we have had our share of snow. So this is just to say hello and hope you all are doing fine. So, are you getting thru the winter alright?

New Job

I have a new job. I work in a hospital for the Ronald McDonald House and I get to give out Teddy Bears once in awhile. What a good job it is. What kind of perks do you have in your job? What I do is work where the babies are born.

Hello!

I have been gone for awhile. I did get my eglobal netbook. It does not work. So I am stuck with a $99 Albatross for awhile longer or mayber forever. My older computer broke down also. I did finally get a new one and I am using it to finally get back and blog again. Thank you all for reading this stuff. I know I just babble but it helps me get thru the day. Why do you blog?

e global wireless

Please be careful if you order from e global wireless. I ordered a $99 netbook on Dec. 4 and the ad said it would be shipped in 2 to 4 days. It has not been shipped yet. Did you ever order something that did not get delivered or it was damaged? Buyer beware. I noticed that the ad for this notebook was taken off ebay.

Missing my keys.

I did have 2 sets of car keys. Now I have one. I am going crazy trying to find the missing set. I looked everywhere and I am out of ideas on where they might be. I checked my car twice and all my shelves, closets, cups, and anything else I can think of. Poof they vanished when I moved. Did you ever lose your car keys?

First Snow

It snowed today. It was really beautiful and when I was outside there was no traffic and the only thing I heard was the snow falling. I also went to my volunteer job at a local hospital and got to work in the delivery room. There were a few babies born and one woman and her family was waiting for over 18 hours but the baby was not ready to be born yet. All in all it was a pretty good day. What kind of day did you have today?

Computer ghosts

I think I have a ghost in my computer. It won't boot up every time I turn it on. I have to talk to it, curse at it, and now I even do rituals to see if it will turn on. I tried computer software repairs, took it to the local computer repair store and the same thing happens. It works for them but when I get it home. It plays the maybe I'll boot up maybe I won't game with me. I got fed up and bought a emachine. A small desktop computer. I got it hooked up and it worked fine. I had to try the old computer just to see if it would boot up. It did. I tried it again and it booted. In fact the problem seems to be solved. Maybe I made the old computer jealous. Do you have computer problems or a ghost in your computer?

Moving Part 2

Change of address, people to help me move, cancel phone then get new phone. All these wonderful things to do when moving. I hope I remember to do it all. I even wrote some emails to change my physical address. I want to make sure I get all those Christmas cards. When was the last time you moved?

Sad

I have been meeting a lot of happy sad people today. They are getting sad news in a happy way. Like my one friend was sad her husband died but got happy news about a dedication dinner for him. Sad he passed but happy he was remembered. My sister was sad about her friend being sick, but happy about her friend being strong and an inspiration for her. Roses have thorns but are pretty to look at as the saying goes. Have you had a happy sad experience?

Naps

I love an afternoon nap on a rainy day. Rain is soothing to me for some reason and I love to lay down on nice newly washed sheets right out of the dryer. Then I wake up refreshed and ready to move some furniture and stuff. I am ready to move and I have a new washer and dryer all picked out. I am even eying maybe a new desktop computer. I have been working hard and saving that is why I am taking those naps on rainy days. Have you had a nap lately?

Halloween

Happy Halloween again. No Halloween types to take my candy. I am going to move this month so maybe next year I will be closer to the ghosts, witches, and werewolves. How did you do for Halloween?

Yipe I Skyped!

My daughter and I learned we can make video phone calls from our computer. We got Skype. I was fooling around on it trying to make my first phone call. It worked unfortunately my daughter was in bed in her PJ's and her husband was not ready for the call. They turned off their video equipment really fast. My video was not clear and I did not have a working microphone. My daughter's voice came in crystal clear thru the computer speakers. All in all it was a little embarrassing but also a fun learning experience. We hope to get better at the video calls and I am going to get a better microphone. Have you ever made a video phone call?

Bus

I have taken to riding a bus lately. The local town I work in has expensive parking. Parking fees take in almost half of my pay. I discovered I can take the bus and pay 1/2 the fare. At first I was a little anxious about taking the bus but I am starting to get use to it. The people that ride the bus hare a colorful class of people. Most are friendly and almost all thank the bus driver for the ride when they are exiting the bus. I have not put gas in my car for over 2 weeks and I have 3/4 of a tank still in it. When is the last time you rode a bus?

Watch out!

There is a virus going around the Internet created by Antivirus Action. It is an advertisement for anti-virus software. Unfortunately the virus is created by Antivirus Action itself. It locks up your computer until you buy their product. I lost $69.99 on this deal. You can check it by googling Antivirus Action. Have you had a computer virus lately?

Tree son.

It is treason because they stole the tree son. My graduating class purchased a memorial in our local city park. They had a little gathering to dedicate a tree that was placed there in order to remember our passed classmates. Yep! The tree was stolen after two days. For some reason knowing some of the students that passed I get they are smiling and got a kick out of that. There is a reward to capture the tree thief and a replacement tree was put in its place just in case it will not be returned. If it is we will have a pair of memorial trees. Have you any stories like this or about trees?

Happy Birthday

Thanks to all my friends that wished me a Happy Birthday, especially on Facebook. I am not a good Facebook person and do not log on to it as much as I probably should. It was nice to have all those birthday wishes. Are you on Facebook?

Moving

I am getting in the moving mood. I want a bigger place to live and I may have found it. I was looking at a new washer and dryer too! I went shopping and told the salespeople I was looking for the easiest washer and dryer to use. I want the least amount of things to turn and push. I found a Whirlpool that seems like the best price and not a lot of buttons and bells. How are your appliances and are you happy where you are living now?

Blue Tires

Today I was reminded of blue tires. I use to own a 1991 Blue HD Motorcycle. I went to the HD dealer because I needed new tires. I saw a tire that had blue stripes on it. I thought they would look cool on my bike. I rode around with those blue tires until they wore out. The blue had faded and I was disappointed in them because of that. I went to my friends house and he just bought motorcycle tires that had the blue stripe on them. To my astonishment he took a hose and cleaned the blue off the tires. I asked him what did he do that for? He said, "you don't leave the blue on the tires you always wash them off". I said, "I did not do that because they matched my blue bike". He was amazed and told me he thought I did not wash my tires because I was lazy. I never bought blue tires again. I felt pretty stupid but I still think they made my motorcycle look cool. Have you ever had a blue tire experience?

Post Office

Recently I went to a city Post Office. I was there about 20 minutes before I got to post my letter. They use to have a machine to buy stamps but for some reason they took them out and I had to buy my stamp at the desk. One stamp. That is all I got. I am so use to using my computer to pay bills and send emails to my friends that when I need a stamp every now and then I am amazed at how slow the mail really is. How about you. Have you gone to the Post Office recently?
