I'm sure my wife would love that! I'll ask her!
Actually, we'll be a in a rental house for 4-6 months. The owner will let us have our Boxer dog (we have to pay an extra deposit)...not sure about the piglet. Little piglets are cute...but they grown up to be BIG piggies!

Well...you could always dress it up like a cat-

Win 7 computers are now on closeout...all 3 of mine are Vista and I am waiting for what comes after Windows 8 to upgrade. People gripe about Vista but I really like it myself. What irks me is having to pay Willy Gates an obscene $90-100 per computer per upgrade...upgrades are so overpriced no wonder so many Win users are like me.

This is why I get frustrated with environmentalists griping about climate change and oil wells yadayada.... between cell phones and computers alone, the waste of resources and materials is outlandish. Honestly, I have fallen victim to "buy a new one instead of upgrade"- too easy for our society. Huge push to get away from plastic grocery bags but no real effort to thwart the disposal of electronics.

Here in Vermont, a law was passed mandating electronics be brought to a "recycle" center. Oh..by the way- you have to pay a seperate fee.

sorry for the rant-

1010- partly cloudy and cold. no snow at this elevation but saw some falling about 100 feet higher across the valley yesterday. Green Christmas perhaps?

Mix of sun/cloud and a high of 6C/42.
Got delayed yesterday at the car dealeryesterday afternoon, a one hour oil/filter and change over to winter tires already on rims turned into a 3 ｽ hour wait. So plan is to grade the road today.
Our old computer has had 2 hard drives replaced, it was time to get a new one. At least now we can take it to a proper recyle place, only costs some $$$$$$$$$$$$$ of course.

Ron, nice looking car. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Did that finish off your Christmas shopping?

TXdon, glad you got you bull moved OK. When I moved our 2 cows this summer between pastures I used grain in buckets to entice them to follow me, took it slow and they came. :laughing::laughing:

1022- Bizzare update. As I sit with my cup of coffee, I got an eerie feeling. I look out the window and sitting in the tree is a grey squirell STARING at me.....

Oddly, this is the first Grey I've seen around up here in years. Red squirrels usually hang out. This one is pretty fat, maybe gonna have squirell for dinner- Kids would never forgive me.

Good afternoon all. 56F high was 57F and cloudy. Christmas lights up but not all working mini lights are evil

3 computers at XP, 1 W2K and 1 at 98 (2cnd ed). Don't upgrade OS at home and rarely did at work as Moss said takes special circumstances to work.

I have not upgraded a computer since Windows 3.1 to 3.11... I've been in this business since 1982 and I buy a "good deal" computer and when it starts failing or messing up, or cannot run some new thing I want to run, I junk it and get a new "Good Deal" computer.

I agree the upgrade fee is too high, and the results you get are iffy... If th software is newer, it probably needs the newer hardware too!

Well stated...I always thought XP was the best and most stable Win OS, but I gave away all my XP computers because Vista was far superior for my needs (digital photos, etc) but it is a memory hog. Spent much of today running around trying to find the deed to my property....it's not in my safe at home, nor my safe deposit box 20 miles away, or at the law office I had write up my trust back in Y2K....where the (bleep) is it? Can't refinance without the deed, can't pay off the ex her equity without the refinance, can't finalize the divorce until I can pay her the equity...what a flipping mess. Makes me want to drink beer, eat Cheetos, and surf ****. You got that, 300Uguy....? :laughing:
