So, what's the deal?
I read the LJ update: it reminded me of the updates I get from my bank. If I understand it correctly (and I'm sure my daughter will correct me if I'm not), it's now harder to keep LJ entries "private". I don't understand how people have the time to text, tweet, email and whatever else people do with their multifunction cell phone, and still find ( Read more... ) -
Isn't it amazing what you can find out on the internet
While surfing the web I came across one of those "find out who's looking for you" sights and, on a whim, I filled out the basic information. To my surprise, I discovered I am 56 years old, living in International Falls, Minnesota and I have a son Ryan. I wonder how much money I have? -

Don't give me cold food on a dirty ( Read more... ) -

It came back, after a fashion, in a few minutes, so I logged back on, reconnected to whatever I was doing when mother nature decided to fuck with my technology, only to ( Read more... ) -
Buckets and buckets of ... free water!
It's raining today. I don't mean it's raining, I mean it's RAINING!! It's pouring buckets, you can't see to the parking lot. I'm used to Midwest rain.
