Chel kinda invites herself over to everyones house and no one is ever heard complaining!

[Melody]

Oh the adventures you could have Isaac! 

Nathan also has the entire week of Christmas off in which we will be home. Our travels are the weekend before.  We have absolutely no plans.  Actually, we will probably work on a family puzzle during that week, play board games, eat leftovers, and play in snow if we have it. 

[angel]

That would be nice to have snow.

Chel is not a nerd.  Ever have a nerd as a houseguest?  We're boring.

Waiting forever on the phone to get a refund from Norton antivirus.

Hey nerd... I need help... Again. Lol, and I know it's my own fault. My laptop got the bsod, and I was wondering if you we're interested in trading a laptop in non working condition for the information on the hard drive of the computer... :halo: please?

KC is up in arms here.  The cult IHOP (International House of Prayer) "church" base is here. Man, if it's not the Mormons, it's someone else.  Apparently they have been buying up property and cramming "students" for their Bible school for the last couple of years.  The pastor has said, and broadcasted on youtube, that he goes up to heaven at night and talks to God, that HE is the son of God, and that's why they also have military training on their campus.  There are way too many reports of homosexual activity, and now there is a murder that just happened.  Oh and he says that Jesus is coming to Grandview, MO to set up his kingdom.   

You want spiritual warfare?  There's plenty here.

Our last landlords were IHOPers.  I don't doubt the craziness of it by them alone.

[Chseeads]

I had to read almost to the end of the paragraph trying to figure out what the IHOP had done that had KFC up in arms before I realized it was KC, not KFC.




I cut my hair.  Now I can wear a toboggan and take it off without having hat head.

We use StateFarm insurance.  They are fantastic, we've had them for um... 14yrs?  I think we have them for both auto and renters insurance.

Yeah, that. Pretty much ALL of of that. *lol*

MY... Ummm... WOW. They sounds just "slightly" freaky.

[Roscoe]

Lord. This is SO not my week.
*WARNING- RANT AHEAD*
1)First the dadblasted Cadillac eats up $125 I hadn't planned on spending..and really didn't have
2)Then Bro Wilson tells me Monday night he needs me to preach wednesday- no problem- BUT God decided He needed to talk to me all night long. Yes, I was tired Tuesday
3)On the way to church, my throat feels ticklish....Bro Wilson calls and says it's all me, he's home sicker than two dogs.
4) My voice goes on strike twenty inutes into a 35 minute sermon,causing me to trust God said all He wanted too.
5) On the way home, one of those evil fourlegged vermin the size of a small cow that was pretending to be a doe deer jumped out in front of me and busted out the Caddy's headlamp. It didn't even have the decency to die! And it didn't stick around either, which is too bad- I had a few rounds of .40 I wanted to introduce to it.

But- Chey made me roll with laughter upon arriving home. She looked at the offending headlight, with deer hair still hanging out of it, and said " Well, Cinderella (her name for the Caddy) at least you have eyelashes now."

[Chseeads]

If the head light is all it hurt, at least you're not doing too awful bad.

[MelodyB]

Yeah, Seth knows about hittin does.

[Melody]

yeah, glad you didn't wreck the car, Roscoe.  & that the deer wasn't having seizures dying a painful death while you have to decide to shoot it and then drag it off the road. 

seems like it worked out good that you don't have a voice to rant out loud with... lol


I'm freezing.  Not really.  I just am tired I think and it makes me feel cold, like I need to curl up.

[Lynx]

Hey nerd... I need help... Again. Lol, and I know it's my own fault. My laptop got the bsod, and I was wondering if you we're interested in trading a laptop in non working condition for the information on the hard drive of the computer... :halo: please?

BSOD could be a software problem, could be the RAM chips are going bad.  If it suddenly started this after a long time of working well, it's probably the RAM.  Either way, fixable.  Bring it over and I'll dump the contents on your external drive.

Why is it your own fault? Did you make it mess up?

[sunlight]

No, I don't have it backed up. ... And that 7hr one way commute makes it hard to just bring over... Lol

NORMAL SHARING:  My cat is looking fluffy.  Not fat, fluffy.  Her winter coat has finished growing... at least I hope it has, because any more and I don't know if she'll be able to move.


MUSIC NERD SHARING:  Normal people should read the NORMAL SHARING above and skip this part - I was about to get really mad at my computer.  I recently added a big load of new music and I took the occasion to run my whole collection through a FLAC format encoder, to save space.  Most of it was in FLAC format already, but random files were in a much larger WAV format and I didn't want to spend hours picking through each group to sort them out. 

So the other day I was listening to my music and I noticed a small gap of silence in between tracks.  Now I know MP3 puts gaps at the end of tracks (for reasons you probably don't want to hear about) and even WMA puts a little blip of silence, but FLAC is supposed to be lossless.  I knew my music player played gapless because that was the first thing I tested when I bought it.  The only possibility was that when I ran my collection through the encoder the program added a blip of silence.  NOOOOOO!  I had used that music encoder for years and I trusted it! Now I would have to go back through my whole collection, find all the concert albums that were affected and fix them.  For most people (i.e. normal people, non-music-nerds) it wouldn't even matter, but I really like my music. 

But yesterday I was listening to a song on a concert album, and yes it had a blip of silence between it and the next track... but I rewound it to listen to something I missed, and when it hit the next track it didn't blip!  Apparently my music collection is now so big that the poor music player has to hunt for a while (in computer time) to cue up the next track.  And here I was dreading all that editing I'd have to do...

[Lynx]

No, I don't have it backed up. ... And that 7hr one way commute makes it hard to just bring over... Lol

I didn't say you have it backed up.  I said I'll access it with my little adapter and make a backup.

And about you bringing it over... can't blame me for trying.   

[Roscoe]

If the head light is all it hurt, at least you're not doing too awful bad.

Yes. I really don't have much to complain about. The last time Lou hit a deer, when we had a PTCruiser, it caused around $4500 in damage.  This was just exasperating.

yeah, glad you didn't wreck the car, Roscoe.  & that the deer wasn't having seizures dying a painful death while you have to decide to shoot it and then drag it off the road. 

seems like it worked out good that you don't have a voice to rant out loud with... lol

And at the point that deer and Caddy met, I REALLY wanted the deer to die a painful death, and I wanted to help it along... and trust me, I tried to yell and rant... But I am thankful God protected us. The beast could've easily came through the windshield and caused serious injury or death.


And morning, all. At the risk of whining too much- I'm back at work, sick as can be, and too stubborn to take the day  off. The Nyquil may have been a bit much last night- it helped me sleep, but now I feel like my batteries are run down. Totally drained. Thankfully I don't work a physical job, I'd never make it...

[Melody]

Good morning. 

For the last month my neck has been hurting a bit, especially in the mornings. This morning it hurts a lot more, I can't look straight down or to the right very much.  I always amuse myself when my head hurts in someway.  I think of that scripture that if something offends you, cut it off.  And then I remember the Alice in Wonderland queen yelling, "Off with her head!"  lol

And oh my I feel exxxaaaauuuusted.  Idk why.

[Chseeads]

Thankfully I don't work a physical job, I'd never make it...

Enjoy your spiritual job, Officer.

[Chseeads]

The beast could've easily came through the windshield and caused serious injury or death.

Dear Lord, how fast were you going, Officer?

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Morning.  I'm at work.

[Chseeads]

Good.  Stay there and make us some money.


Everyday since Monday has felt like Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or something....  Last few weeks I'd worked the end of the week.  Back to the beginning of the week this week made it seem like it was supposed to be the weekend immediately following.
