My HP has died a second time and this time it was the motherboard, which they couldn't find a replacement for anywhere.  I was able to find a Toshiba for just under $400, and that's with tax!  I need to go pick up the old computer and its extracted data very soon.  Now my car is not firing on all cylinders; the shop thinks maybe the distibutor cap ( Read more... )

Wow, don't know if I've ever managed to post entries approx. a week apart before, but here I am.  Gotta give myself credit, because I'm computer hopping, my HP is still out of order.  I've posted to my new characters' blog a few times too.  Don't know if anyone would be interested in hearing what my characters have to say for themselves, but if you ( Read more... )

My laptop just got fixed a few months back; in spite of paying for virus protection, I found out it was swarming with them. Now it suddenly refuses to boot up. So, I'm on my teeny tiny ASUS, where even my little fingers don't quite fit.  Sorry about the size of print; I am copying some bits from an email to my friend, ( Read more... )

 Wow, it's been a reeeeaaally long time since I posted here.  If I'm using a bigger font, it's because my eyes are getting bad.  I've lost left eye close focus since the cataract surgery on that eye a year ago June and the second cataract is getting worse.  After they remove that cataract, I'll basically have no close up sight at all.  I'll be ( Read more... )

Okay, this is silly!  I can't find where the heck to update/change my profile.  If a reader would take pity on me and post the answer as a reply, I would appreciate it.  I don't think I've changed it since I joined, which was probably about 3 yrs ago.  In the meantime...I guess I'll share my killer last week.  Well, first off, I caught my partner's ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is NaNowriMo and I'm wondering if I can do this, what with all the other things that are happening this month.  In about a week we're having my birthday party and there's a lot to do before then.  Then I'm going to Harmony Inc.'s Int'l Contest and Conference, which will be in Appleton, WI.  Next comes Thanksgiving, of course.  I do have ( Read more... )

I have loved reading for as far back as I can remember.  I don't even remember learning to read, I just remember reading.  By third grade I was reading sixth grade level.  Well, I just found the most awesome site today!  Ok, don't laugh; while I am a bit of a computer geek, I don't have a lot of friends who are, so I hadn't heard of this site yet ( Read more... )

 Now I can't find where the draft is saved to, so I guess I get to rewrite.  It's been over six months since I updated; I get involved in reading my friends' posts and never get around to writing mine.  I've written 2 more kids' stories, part of my business is writing unique personalized stories,  what I call My Very Own Story.  Now I'm working on ( Read more... )

I have finally been able to activate my new pen.  It's that Fly Fusion Pentop Computer I wanted and if I use it when I'm hand writing my story or drawing, it will digitize everything and I can upload it to my computer!    Well, I had to load its program onto my roomie's computer; mine refused to accept the download and demanded 512 MB, which I do ( Read more... )
