November Fifth: Technical Difficulties

Technical Difficulties

Our computer shituation is just that-- a shituation.

Our broadband keeps crashing, our desktop keeps crashing and my laptop is in the hospital undergoing some minor surgeries.

Tom got a new laptop this week but it has Vista (*groan*) and he needs it for work. Also my laptop cannot connect to our router... so even if I did have it, I couldn't connect with you all anyway.

Riveting stuff, huh?

Can I confess something?

I have no idea how I ever lived without email, internet, blogger and google.

Ever.

We made a crazy decision to move into a new house in August.

I think I am one of those people that needs chaos in order for things to be normal... (don't tell my parents).

Nothing says "fun" like going through boxes of paperwork and junk I have been hauling around for about two decades now.

This will mark the seventh time I have moved in 17 years.

I am not in the witness protection program, either.

It is feeling pretty good to purge old photographs from eighth grade graduation, donate unused items, and pitch raging junk in general.

Hope you all are well.

Take care all.

Sorry to have been absent for so long now.

And 7 times in 17 years? You are practically dragging roots every where you go!

I moved 12 times in 15 years. And I didn't count any stays less than 6 months long, because there were several more.

I have not moved in 8 years. It made me itchy several years ago, but I am starting to enjoy it.

Chris, June 28, 2009 at 10:41 PM: I LOVE purging...it's a good thing!
Shady Lady, June 28, 2009 at 11:27 PM: A moving purge is good. We've moved 6 times since LK and I got married in 2002....so that's 6 times is 7 years! Sheesh!
Sidhe, June 29, 2009 at 8:06 AM: Ahhh, just got back myself to check in after a busy, busy week with nothing but more busy weeks to come. Just wanted to tell you that you are doing good work with the Congressional health care issue. I'm going to mail it out on my secret web site and see what goes on there!

Hang in there and see you soon (for real, I mean)...
Riot Kitty, June 29, 2009 at 6:20 PM: I am stealing that first line. I have moved so many times, and hate it - good luck and get yourself a treat when it's all over.
Cosa Nostradamus, June 29, 2009 at 7:02 PM: .
Smack those computers! They need to pay attention!

STP in the hard drive helps, too. No, wait, that's in the car.

Maybe the computers are experiencing separation anxiety, or pre-emptive homesickness. Have you tried explaining to them that they will still have a place in your new home? Computers have feelings too, you know. Right, Terminator? Terminator says "Hello."

Gotta go. Terminator's hungry. Need more mice.

I really appreciate most of you who have taken the time to read my posts and leave your comments. While I may not agree with what you say, many good things come from the discussion of issues that are difficult and contentious. You never know when there will be common ground, or, at least a better understanding of who we are and why we believe in things in the way that we do.

A few of you have used the privilege of commenting to indulge in cyberstalking, mobbing, going way off topic, to advertise your blogs, and to rant about not much of anything or to harass (or all of the above). I realize that is a subjective determination, but this is my blog and you are my guest.

Think of yourself as being in my home and how you would act if you were a guest in my home and I will do the same.

Please do not copy my posts in their entirety and give yourself credit for the post elsewhere on the internet.

Please do not use comments at this blog solely for the purpose of drawing traffic to your blog or solely to further some agenda whether it relates to the post or not. For example, inserting your URL in a comment that does not relate to the post. Another example would be advocating right to life in a post about Somali pirates. One has nothing to do with the other and if you make posts to further an agenda that is off topic, you may risk having them deleted.
