I started on a TRS80 then learned to program in Apple Basic before getting a RadioShack desktop with AOL dial up and a Juno email

I wish I could find a reliable laptop. My Lenovo is a piece of crap, and it wasn't cheap. The keys stopped lighting up after a freaking week. Within a year, the hard drive went out twice, & I had to have the screen replaced. Just had to replace the fan, but it is 3 years old now.

My HP laptop before this wasn't much better. My dad has an HP desktop he has had less than a year & it's a disaster. Maybe it's some genetic thing we can't get reliable computers, ha.

I only buy Apple laptops now. I never had any luck with the durability of Windows machines (Dell, Lenovo), but I have a 12-year-old functioning MacBook.

Eta - no, i was right. I hugged her and refreshed, and her count didnt change.

I think you all are jealous SD hugged someone and it wasn’t you.

ETA: if she deigns to respond to our badinage she will claim she didn’t have her glasses on and thought she was hitting the thanks button.

A likely story.

If she put even one of her bony, hairy, bent, arthritic, psoriatic, rheumatic, shrivelled, onycomycotic talons anywhere NEAR you...!

Well, i would be very surprised.

(See, i can write poetry stuff too also!)

I thought the whole description was rather poetic, building in terror as it did, but whatever.

You know you are right about that. I'm still waking up. I haven't been sleeping well, I'm an emotional mess, and my brain has taken a leave of absence

You need to reorder your list for a true crescendo.

My deck is currently being power washed.

Aaand they are spraying all the chemically stuff into my neighbor's screened-in deck, too.

UnderRugSwept · Jun 26, 2019 at 11:35 AM

Anyone else always look at the clock right at 12:34?

Maybe it's an unconscious thing b/c it makes my OCD happy.

That was just to throw you off, like slipping on a banana peel as you approach the peak of Mt Everest.

Darn @@ you really hit it on the nail there. I even stopped putting emojis in my replies to her and not hugging her posts .
