Oh, well. It's only money.

Going out on a limb and guessing it's a Dell. Seen that many times.

Nope. Toshiba. And so is the new one.

Yeah, that's not a Dell specific issue or tip. Even when you remove the battery enough electricity remains on the system bus to keep a bug alive (so to speak). Holding the power button drains that electricity and thus clears the bus.

Have you heard that there's a pumpkin shortage this year due to the bad growing season? :ohnoes:

Well, not in the Tiggermonkey household. :nope:

I just ordered a case of 10 - 10# cans of Libby's 100% pure pumpkin through TheWEBstaurant store. :pumpkin:

Between that and the canned pumpkin I have in my pantry, I'll have enough to last my doggies for approximately one year. :dog:

And even including shipping costs, it was cheaper per ounce to buy it this way than at the local store. :dollah:

I just got a request from a vendor of gothic t-shirts to advertise on my blog. :stunned:

Ymir's blood · 10-19-2009, 03:39 AM

This shirt?

Dingfod · 10-19-2009, 03:43 AM

Only a Visigoth would wear a shirt like that, these are Vidigoths.

No shortage at Chateau De Crumb. I recently received a freshly harvested pumpkin from a certain coworker of mine who had a surplus.

My parents are in town. They have been rather well-behaved thus far; I haven't had an urge to strangle either of them even once. Plus, my stepdad is the archetypal handyman, and has already fixed the back door (would no longer stay shut without latching the deadbolt) and the dryer (was burning our clothes even on the lowest heat setting).

This weekend we went to New Braunfels and even spent a day in Austin, and since I was feeling charitable I didn't sucker vm into meeting my parents. We did get to do the "bat boat" tour, which involves sitting almost directly underneath the Congress Street (Avenue? whatevah) Bridge as 1.5 million bats come flying out and only poop on you a little bit. That's a lot of fucking bats.

My fingers smell like garlic.

I'm getting ready for a 2 1/2 hour drive upstate. I've got two days of requirements elicitation sessions coming up for a project that involves three of the toll bridges here in Michigan. While I don't like being away from MT, I sure do enjoy the drive. The trees are verah, verah pretty right now.

I'm getting a bonus at work for my hard work. It really couldn't come at a better time with the ninja's arrival approaching so I'm pretty stoked. :slide:

I've been reunionized. The annual Dinsford family reunion was held yesterday in the ballroom at the rural estate of Clinton L. Dinsford of the Kansas Dinsfords. Walter P. "Dinny" Dinsford II, Barry G. "B.G." Dinsford, and Isabel "Teenie" Dinsford Richard, the eldest members of the family, were in attendance at the gay soiree. Tins of the finest caviar and magnums of the finest champagne were cracked open to the delight of all. Music was provided by the Opus Delecti string quartet (the musicians are lawyers in the Dinsford, Dinsford, Richard, and Bumpass law firm). Entertainment was comedian Sheldon "Sheckie" Gruene, staff accountant at Dinsford Inc. who kept the group in stitches for the entirety of his 20 minute one-liner routine. I, Walter P. "Ding" Dinsford III, was routinely mistaken for the washroom attendant. In other words, the usual.

I went away for a week (okay more like 2 weeks consolidated) and upon returning discovered that there is nothing (zip, zilch, nada) in my DVR queue including saved stuff, it's all wiped out. WTF happened when I was gone? :confused:

If I can't get that Burns thing about the National Parks back I am going to be severely angrified.

Over the past 5 days I have conducted 3 funerals. That means that for the last six days I have had either a funeral visitation or a funeral every day. The first two funerals were both for octogenarians. The one today was for a two year old girl. Over the course of nearly 30 years in the ministry I have only had two funerals for babies. I would be quite content to never have to do another one.

That's not easy for anyone involved.

I came home tonight to the report that my annual property bill had arrived and the hot water heater is dying.

Fuck.

My parents have been successfully returned to about 2,000 miles away. :phew:

Since Monday morning, I've learned that falling on your back on a set of wooden stairs is not conducive to good health. :ouch:

And I thought it was such a good idea at the time, too. :girlthink:

Qingdai · 10-22-2009, 06:28 PM

H1N1? Possibly, I definitely had the flu, and that's the only one going around right now. I feel like crap, but I can deal.

Now I'm really, really hungry.
