"The fact that others are bad does not imply that you are good."
-Actually, it does imply that. But just because it's implied doesn't mean that it's true!
"The greatest truths are the simplest; and so are the greatest men."
- Um... what?

I felt the need to share these...

"Nuts" and bolts
(Conversation with a friend who owns a full scale K-9)
ME
How's non-work life?
HIM
I'm keeping myself busy with K-9...
Finally getting him fixed.
(pause)
ME
So he won't have babies?
Morbid curiosity
Someone I know recently lost their only sibling and asked to speak at the funeral. They were told there's a time limit that all speakers must stick to. I told them to speak for as long as they want. Which begs the question... If someone speaks for longer than their "alloted time" at a funeral, does an organist start to play music louder and louder?
I have 3 pairs of scissors
One in the kitchen
One in the bathroom
And one by my desk.
I strongly believe in having duplicate items if you need it in more than one location and frequently find yourself stopping to go look for said item to see where the heck it was last used.
The first time I think I heard this philosophy was with regard to vacuum cleaners. Someone was saying that if you have more than one floor in your house, you should consider getting a vacuum cleaner for each floor, and leave it on its floor, instead of hauling one machine up and down the stairs all the time.
This made perfect sense to me. And scissors are way less expensive than vacuum cleaners!

Multitasking
Right now I'm:
- doing laundry
- mopping the floor
- coloring my hair
- and writing a blog post
Sprucing up the blog again
It's not Christmas anymore, but it's definitely still winter! The Graphics are from Graphic Garden, and credits, as always, can be found at the very bottom of the page.
I may still tweak. I always tweak ;)
While I was updating the blog template, I found a great online graphics editing site called pixlr.com Since I'm still without my regular computer, I'm also without graphics software at the moment, so this site was perfect. Very PhotoShop-ish. I'm not sure how they're able to offer such a great service. Hopefully I haven't missed something, like massive viruses in the files! :oO

Avocado + Paper Bag + Banana
That's how to ripen an avocado.
I knew about putting an avocado in a paper bag to ripen, but that didn't always seem to work, and I'd never heard about adding a banana. My friend told me about this missing "ingredient", so I added a banana to the bag and sure enough, my rock hard avocados were ready to eat in just 2-3 days.
Just a little tip I felt compelled to jump on and write about.

Where I've been... Where I am
A family emergency turned my two week trip into a two month trip. -The family member is fine. A fall, a break, they live alone, I had to set up medical services for them and make sure they'd be ok when I left and wouldn't starve etc.
During those two months I had little access to the internet, slow access to the internet, or no time to get ON the internet.
So... here I am, home at last, but...
Remember when I broke my computer about 2 days into NABLOPOMO? I finally took it in to be looked at and it'll cost as much to fix as it would to buy a new computer. Which is what I will probably do, but not for another month or so. So once again, I have limited to no Internet access for a while longer.
I'm looking forward to being able to leisurely blog again, but I should warn you, this kind of thing happens a lot in my life. "Stuff" happens and I can be offline for months at a time. Hopefully I'll have time to blog again soon. See you then!

Dial Up
I finally get my mom on DSL, and she doesn't have wireless.
I tried connecting directly to her modem but that didn't work (probably needed the account info and password), so then I spent over an hour trying to connect through dialup. I'm on now, at a snail's pace, and getting through comments as fast as I can.
When I get home (next week) I'll be sure to catch up on everyone's blogs an I'll be adding some pictures from this trip as well. I got a bunch but, between dialup AND still being on my old computer, right now "online" is a real pain! :P
(PS: If I get a wave of extreme patience I might try to upload picts before I get home!)
