almost computer-less

... thanks everyone for the comments...for me, personally I will throw out rants, negativity all over the place, even here.  But yesterday was the type of day that if I got on the downer-train I would have crash landed.  Hubby was on it, some stuff beyond our control, ongoing normal stress that everyone goes through and I really didn't want to start my day being upset...so I made the choice to stay positive.  Trust me on this one I can get as b*tchy as the next gal!

So on to my day, Mark has been bugging me about Liz getting a job.  It's now the end of July and she has made a feeble attempt to get a one.  She doesn't drive yet, but we live very close to many retail store, restaurants, etc.  She wants to go to a concert on Sunday with her b/f Mike so I told her to make an effort to get a job.  She doesn't have to make it a career, just a little part time job.  She is required to walk our dog, plus she is taking care of a cat for a family that his been away.  Oh yeah and our yard too, she mows that.  Our yard is dinky, takes 20 minutes tops to mow.  She did all that yesterday.  Plus applied at Dominicks, which hires everybody.  Yesterday she even had time to hang out with her girlfriends which she needed to do as she neglects them for the b/f. 

In the meantime my old computer kicked me off, I have a bad driver and I knew this old friend will someday need to retire, but I keep things until they break, why toss something that still works??  Even though it's slow and turns off at will.  It did it's thing, and when I turned it off it would not come back on.  Just stayed stuck, with poor j-land-less Rose staring at a blank screen.  So I figured I'd let it cool of, tried a few more times, it wouldn't work.  Decided to leave it until today.  Turned it on this morning...nothing...so I tried the old tried and true method...I give the tower a bang...viola' the screen comes on! 

Lesson?  If all else fails get a bigger hammer!
