Computer's local network now works!

  • May. 30th, 2009 at 3:16 PM

I had to shell out 30-some bucks for a cable,but finally my desktop computer is talking and listening to the laptop and Russell's computer also. A lot of time was wasted trying to figure out how to get them to communicate, but eventually the problem was narrowed down to the D-Link.

Computer illiteracy

My desktop computer refuses to talk to the others on the local network. Driving me crazy.  Everything has to be transferred by flashdrive.

Buying a new car

  • May. 20th, 2009 at 4:46 PM

So we are looking at a new car. Yeeek.  Such an expense, and so much choice, and I really hate shopping for cars! Fortunately, it doesn't often happen.

I've looked at a Subaru Forester, and a Hyundai something or other, and though I favour the Subaru, we'll probably get the Hyundai.  The dealer is right here, almost walking distance, which would make a nice change.

I'm going to miss my Saturn station wagon.  I really liked the way it handled, and it was comfortable for me, but the air conditioner broke down, again, and Russ doesn't want to throw more money at it.

Snow

OK, so I'm not the one who has to clear the driveway, obviously, or I wouldn't be reflecting on the wonders of snow. But the light fluffy stuff is delightful!! I wish there was a bit of sun to turn it all to diamonds.

I hate this weather

I hate the in-between seasons--Fall between the coloured leaves and the snow, spring between the melt and the tulips.  These cold, windy, rainy days make my bones ache, and I feel depressed and tired.  Even the dogs are quiet.  Wish I could go back to bed, but there's too much work to be done.  The floors are knee-deep in dog hair, the laundry is piled to the ceiling.
