Random bits of this and that


Either my keyboard is wimpy or I spend too much time typing.


I may have blogged this one before. I love it. Twitch wrote this on our kitchen whiteboard. I think he got it from Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.
Scheherazade helped me start up my computer yesterday. I didn't get the camera out in time to capture her licking the touch pad. She was, indeed, moving the cursor around. Usually she does her computing by walking on the keyboard. 

Diva gets the words "ketchup" and "syrup" confused. She knows what each one is, but often gets the words mixed up. Last night we had blueberry pancakes for supper. She said something about putting ketchup on them while reaching for the syrup jugs. Silly girl.

Indigo left early this morning. I miss him. We had a very pleasant visit. He thinks Superman is terrific for, among other things, his accepting attitude about my friendship with Indigo and my other blog buddies. Indigo and Superman get along famously.

My washing machine is currently washing a load of sheets. The replacement part came and Superman just installed it. He is my hero!

Why I Hate...computers




My Internet Explorer keeps shutting down! It’ll do this maybe once every day or two after I’ve been online for a while and have a bunch of tabs open. But I just turned on the ‘puter half an hour ago, and it has just done the ‘not responding’ thing for the second time! Aggravating.



Oh for crying out loud! It just happened again! I’d written the above, and was distracted looking at something shiny and hadn’t posted it yet. Then, all of a sudden, my IE goes out yet again! This time, though, the computer blamed Adobe Flash Player. A likely story. I want to know what Internet Explorer was doing to Adobe Flash Player in the first place to make Adobe Flash Player mad enough to pull IE’s plug. Sibling rivalry can be such a pain.
