I will start early, about 5 a.m. or so, and head North to Hyman Place. I’m picking up the mother of my new granddaughter to be. A trip to the hospital – induced labor – and hopefully by noon there will be a sweet little angel lying snuggled next to mom. I can hardly wait. I get the best part, picture taking, support, and probably a few tears – because I’m like that. So congrats are due…to me of course. Congratulations, Granny!

I won’t be heading towards the Bahamas this year as previously planned. I really don’t have any feeling about it one way or the other. I can say I’m happy to miss the hurricane season. I can also say this first year could be a total, deal ’til you drop, hectic little venture. But it could also be a lot of fun and plenty of E/O’s. Oh well. I just have to wait to hear it from people that got to go. Continue reading No Turks & Caicos for me →

If you haven’t downloaded or played Duplicate Poker, you should. It’s an experience from the beginning until… Continue reading Pimping Duplicate Poker →

The Hybridrive will only run programs already installed on it, and bigger than life, better than good, Brandon from Acomdata called me and walked me through what was going on and why the backup hadn’t worked. Can you imagine? Someone at tech support that really does get back to you? WOW! Continue reading One Last Word on the Computer →

I have most of everything back in working order. How wonderful! From chaos and possible death thoughts (for the computer, thinking the final straw would be for it to kill itself and deprive me of the pleasure of stomping it into the pavement after I dropped kicked it through the door of the coach out onto the pavement), all’s well in Linda’s multi-tasking world.

I’ve made headway…managed to do a complete system recovery, after wiping out the entire hard drive and starting over, back to winXP. It’s my favorite operating system. So…why??? Continue reading Crawling out of the computer quagmire →

but the computer’s laying on the floor with giant stomp marks all over, pieces of mother board are stuck in the ceiling, the hard drive is buried in the wall…just kidding. I’m in the after shock of backing up files, setting up a new pc, getting ready to try Fujitsu tech’s recommendation for blasting Windows Vista out of my regular laptop. UGH! What a complete waste of two days. My brain feels hammered. I always have one more pc than I need…just in case. It’s a damn good thing. Back soon with pictures and more life stories and a little poker thrown in for good measure. Anyone in the market for Window’s Vista Ultimate upgrade? Send me an email if you are…*sucker*

has me cursing and wishing I’d used a lot better sense. Perhaps if I was drinking wine on a daily basis, I would have used better judgment. I’ve tried to do a system recovery and revert to my old operating system, but alas, I hit a Fujitsu error just as it starts. *beats face into wall* More later when I’ve cooled down.
