Isn't that an analogy?"Pissin' n high cotton"? Oh well...New to me anyways..cuz GUESS WHAT?? Don't hate on me...but I went to Best Buy to get a new Laptop,and couldn't resist the cool a** Windows Seven Desktops!!! I didn't get the top of the line moneywise,but I'm proud as h*** of my E-Machine,and it's faster than Walkers right hand while he's watching Asian Porn!!!
Yipppppeeee! Being the "guru" that I am...guess how long it took me to set it up?? 14 minutes!! That's including un-assing the older one.It's still in good shape,just needing some stuff done that my lazy butt won't do,plus screw getting a new sound card,I got the whole sha-bang!! Yayyy! Lemme' find my digi-cam so I can show off.lol
I love this larger than life flat screen!!Plus is takes up so little space!!Awesome!Among many other things I haven't even explored yet.Anybody else got the new Windows 7 yet?Here I am acting doofus---don't we all when we get a new computer.Nevermind...I DO! lol

Coffee Pot Blues and other S****!
I have searched the web/google and just all over the web looking for a quick fix to this problem that usually starts my day off with an attitude.For some wierd reason,my coffee pot has been acting a total a*** lately! I get up,and before I brush my teethe,etc..etc....I start a pot of coffee.Then as soon as I smell that awesome smell of fresh brewed coffee,I go pour a cup full,add my Equal and creamer...then when I'm about to finish the 1st cup,I have been noticing coffee grounds at the bottom of my cup.Crap!! So I started running it through a strainer into a clear glass and then back into my favorite coffee cup,but there are STILL tiny little grounds that go through the strainer...and it's annoying the crap out of me.

How to Get and Stay Motivated
YAYYYY!!! Look what I did? Went and got a years' membership to a gym.I'm excited about this...I forgot to take pictures of the outside track...it's awesome! The track surrounds a BIG pond where your allowed to even go fishing out there if you want.I forgot to take pics of the huge room w/ the wall mirrors where the aerobics are held too.In fact they have step aerobics,hi-impact aerobics,Pilate,Karate,and Judo.I'm so excited to finally start getting back in shape...that is,if I stay motivated,and away from the damn donuts and icecream..lol...I took out some winter clothes I had stored,and can't wear hardly ANYTHING in there.I knew they would fit tighter,but I DIDN'T know I couldn't even get my butt into anything,,,even the blouses and sweaters are waaayyy too small!
So this should be really cool.I just gotta post pix of the outside track..it's just gorgeous!

Finally some good news
I've just been busy,out of town,and just down right not feeling like processing my thoughts here like I usually do.Really,I have always kept some sort of diary/journal since I've been a teenager...so this is odd for me to just throw in the towel for so long.
Well,I'm out of my shell now and back to my usual chatter-box self...Speaking of that,I just seen a co-worker that I used to work with a while back.I was at the gas pump getting gas and I kept hearing (what I thought) was "Jackie! Jackie! Jackie"!! Then it dawned on me when I seen who was yelling,that she was yelling at ME "Yakky,Yakky"!!! LOL Of course that was her pet name for me cuz we talked probably more than we worked.
Ohh,the good news! I put an ad on Craigs list for a roomate,thinking I'd probably never go through with it anyways.....mainly cuz the last roomy was SUPPOSED to be a friend and wound up being the worste roomate you could imagine.You name it...it happened.Drunken fights w/ BF,theft,left oweing..crap ,it was a total madhouse here.
Anyways,this lady is a phlebotomist,so you know she's disease and drug free.She takes blood at a blood bank...wait,she explained that it's not really the blood they are taking,but the plasma?in the blood.Something like that.Anyways,she's smart,pretty,neat and tidy,non-smoker,she even gets a 10 in her taste in clothes!(lol...not that clothes were even an issue)lol... she's just really an awesome person in general.Actually I didn't put the ad to find a family,or a new friend or anything like that.I just thought an extra few $$'s a week would be fair and useful.It's a good deal though,cuz instead of motel fees or somewhere else..she's already set with wi-fi,cable w/ all the premium channels,phone w/ no long distance,her own bathroom,spacious,washer/dryer,etc..etc...Her room is not so big,and its not like she's got a whole top floor of a 2 story house..and the bathroom isn't even connected to her room,but she doesn't seem to mind.She's even added lots of pretty stuff all around the house...from plants to watt-knots...not to mention I loooove her lil cat "Mitten".Being the chatter-box that I am,I struggle not to momopolize her time w/ me being yakky yakky....but she's just as cheerful and chatty too...so it's all good.Anyways,I met a few people and it seemed like all at once 4 people were waiting on me to call back,and I felt so bad having to say no to the others',but she started talking,she just seemed to out-shine everyone,and I think maybe even more responsible.We'll see.I don't have any doubts at all though,really.
Shoot,where was this kind of deal when I was looking for a place ,after my breakup w/ the X?LOL
Please forgive me for being selfish and not peeping in on my blogger friends...you know who you are....but I just haven't been myself or up to snuff lately and just haven't taken the time to pop in on you.Hope you can forgive me,if it matters anyways...LOL...
Darn,the dryer is beeping...meaning "take out the clothes before they wrinkle"...I wonder if I'm the only one obsessed with that pet peave? ;-} Or maybe it's just that I'd rather not have to iron the clothes,besides the ones that usually get ironed.Hmmm...

Uncle smashed by other uncle in between semi
First off...this isn't my typical uncle.This happens to be the Uncle that raised me for a few years during teen years.Him & my Aunt,that is.Then if you'll recall,my "X" Ray and I lived w/ them for 2 years ...then behind them and helped my uncle care for my sick aunt.Teary-eyed,but smiling,my best memory of my uncle was when I lived w/ them as a teen,and he bought me my first car.He actually traded a riding lawn mower and $50 for a Pinto when I was 14.They were the best.Well,he's gone to see Jesus now,and I'm ok with that.He was am angel here on earth and just earned his angel wings for Heaven! But it still hurts knowing that they loved me unconditionally,no matter how many times other family members said I was a BAD BAD child,they said "bullshit"!!What happened was my mothers' brother(my Unc.)was backing a semi trailer and it was already jack-knifed.My Uncle just happened to be standing there and the clutch or ?whatever gear slipped?and in a split second my precious uncle was smashed in between until his entire body turned black.He whispered a few times"I can't breathe",and died in the flight for life helicopter bringing him to Tyler from Winnsboro.
Thinking back before this tragedy,this don't seem right...b/c the thing is....since he's 74 I MADE him go to the doctors appt I arranged just to be tested for anything that he didn't know about so we could take preventive measures,ya know? So after the many many tests came back,the doctor told us "Ya know....you DO have a problem...your ONLY problem is you wasted your time coming here for this checkup b/c you are as healthy as anyone can be"!!! This adoreable man got up at 6am and went non-stop all day like a 30 year old.I've always been amazed at how he could even keep 2 or 3 girlfriends at a time,work a day job along w/ other youngsters in 100 degree heat,yet never complain.
My other Uncle that smashed him to death must feel so bad.I can't even imagine.I'll be going over there today.I was gona go already,but the rest of my family and all their friends have been there round the clock.So I decided to let things calm a bit,if that's even possible,and go today.
If anybody remembers.....my uncle that died is the same uncle(and aunt) that I help drive to California to their son's funeral,who found out one month his heart and liver were wrapped w/ cancer and then died in a matter of days after finding out the diagnoses.Another family tragedy.
Will I EVER be able to go back to fun/happy/silly posts?
Guess time will tell.

What a mess!!!
I have no sound whatsoever coming from my speakers (before I go further,this is REALLY gona make me seem a beer short of a six-pack) But wtf.I'm so irritated I MUST unload(blog) this or put my fist through the wall.Plan A sounds less painful.
I go to Circuit City and buy the Rocketfish 5.1 Soundcard...either 29.99 or 39.99,not the cheapest and not the most expensive,but the rep said it was the best seller.....So I'm told "Awww hell,that is SOOOO EASY to just take off the cover slide it in and bam! You got sound,a 2 year old can do it"!BULLSHIT!!!
From what "I" read ...it said take that bar off.So.....this is no shit! I took off the bar on the sound card that has those colored plugins on them and found an empty slot and had a hell-of-a-time making it fit in that sucker.It FINALLY went in and I put the thing back together and everything went right,it LOOKED LIKE!! It specifically said NEW HARDWARE FOUND (by the clock)..so I pop in the CD Rom and follow the instructions.Then all of a sudden my computer shuts down and then reboots,again and again and again!!! I read the papers again and it dawned on me!! WTF?? What did it mean plug in the cd-rom cable into the new sound card? Then it dawned on me,that the metal that was supposed to be taken off was the damn thing on the SIDE of the puter! So I start over.Put ot back together,and go down to a lower place to slide in the new sound card.Not the long black place I had pushed in ,in the 1st place.Secondly there are obviously a few slots that can be removed to allow the damn card to go in there with that bar attached!!RE-ATTACHED,that is!I tried looking for ANY kind of cable that goes from the CD rom to that new sound card and was again baffled.So I skipped it and put the case back on and plugged up the 10,000 wires and plugs back in...and son-of-a-fucking-bee-atch'!!! Wreaking havok again.So I unplugged it all AGAIN!! and put things back like they were to begin with.STILL NO SOUND! and frankly I don't give a fuck really.3 1/2 hours of this over a "supposed simple sound card issue",this computer is lucky to not being catching dew on it out in the back yard!!
SKEET!! My never-met-in-person computer genious in New York,was nowhere to be found,and just so you know....I'll be on the next flight to NY.You'll recognize me right away.Un-combed hair,no luggage,in my nightgown,houseshoes and dragging this computer by the electric cord when you see me get off the plane.I NEEDED YOU BIG DADDY! If you were out suddsing it up while I was in this emergency situation,your a*** is grass,and I'm not talking about the kind you smoke.lol
