My favorite saying:

Shared pain is lessened Shared joy is multiplied

 
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Turn up the heat!

It's about 2 degrees out, with a wind chill in the negative teens!!! Talk about nipply out! *S* Hey Colin, cold enough for you bud??
The ride in this morning was bad on the side streets.. there's so much black ice around!

Today's my daughter's 23rd birthday! Happy Birthday Sarah!! She's still my little girl at 23 *S*.

I decided yesterday to take Thursday off too.. so tomorrow's my last day of work! I'll get some wrapping done, and a few last minute things. It's nice having a lot of vacation days!

Hey Carrie, you getting any work done at home, or are you romping around in your fuzzy bunny slippers teasing the mailman?? *LOL*

I'll share with you a tech support call from a day or three ago, Curt style:

Doctor:
Dave, can you come fix my PC

Me:
What's wrong with it?

Doctor:
I don't know, it's not working

Me:
Define "Not working" please.

Doctor:
Well, the screen doesn't work, my mouse doesn't work, the keyboard doesn't work... shall I go on?

Me:
Is there a light on the front of the computer?

Doctor:
No, it's dark.

Me:
The computer is the thing on the floor, not the screen

Doctor:
OH! Yes, the light is on. A green one. Is that good?

Me:
Yes. Now, on the screen thing, is the light on there?

Doctor:
No. What would happen if I push the button on the front?

Me:
Wow.. I don't know. Why don't you try and see. If it blows up, I have a new monitor.

Doctor:
Is it one of those nice flat screens?

Me:
No.

Doctor:
HEY! It works!

Another crisis averted.

What's with the US? We're so technologically advanced over other countries, but we lag so far behind in others! Check out this article.

And now, the news not fit to print:

Mechanics share their most memorable stupid acts.

Did you ever hear about The Wizard of Oz/Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon coincidence? Weird.

Actual water Elvis drank from onstage, 2/21/1977 for sale on EBay

Have you seen Courtney Love's Christmas Card?

Have a great Tusday all...!
