My back hurts, my legs hurt, my knees hurt. I was even to tired to stop and get something to eat!

But my wonderful husband is making a bowl of soup...I literally walked in, threw him the mail and continued onto the bathroom.....Hot showers feel so good!

Thank goodness this is Friday..........

Ahh. . .school volunteers. The unsung heros of our educational system!

HUGS to you. . .and my educator thanks, too!

well, I dug out pictures when prompted. thanks for posting the link, but here they are again;

the black is similar to what mine will look like (he is 6mos now), the sitting one gives you an all around perspective of what they look like, and are the normal coloring. the big one is his real life Grandpa. but he is 100% Serval, mine won't get that big. the breeder had 3 litters this week and promises baby pictures soon

Researching Android and Web OS.

With Windows Phone 7 unable to run my existing apps there's little to keep me with Microsoft the next time I purchase a Smartphone. Yeah I know they said Windows Mobile 6.5 will run alongside, but usually this is marketing speak for "there will be a transition period."

I believe that the statue is in the tiny village of Saint Marc-sur-mer (near Saint Nazaire) which was where M. Hulot's Holiday was filmed.

With that in mind, you have basically 2 choices: tolerate WinMo's "transition period" of things breaking or contribute to Android's sometimes-equally-painful growth spurt. I don't bother mentioning the other device-specific OSes (full disclosure: I have a Blackberry) because app compatibility with those is no better than finding various versions of games for the various consoles; sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't.

They stayed in the back of the van while we went driving around.

Thanks, kaz. The teachers make it well known to all of us how appreciated we are. If people could just spend one week as a teachers shadow, esepcially the younger grades, they would walk away with a completely different view of what they do.

Better this morning. I just need to whip this old, no, mature body into shape again.

One thing I noticed immediately? My growing sense of depression lifted immediately. I realized I've been obsession on things I have no control over,

Something about being out there helping others surely does turn a switch in your mind!

happy_terd · 02-20-2010, 02:06 PM

about to go to the swap meet.

Yeah... either way it will "all end in tears".

No offense to Blackberries in general, but one of my requirements is a touch screen and my mother's Storm hasn't left me with the greatest impression. Then there is the fact that Verizon doesn't carry the iPhone (and I have issues with that platform anyways). So my choices are limited to Microsoft, Google, or Palm.

Oh, questions for those having experience with either Android or WebOS: How is the web browsing? Does it lock up on bigger sites? How responsive are the screens?

relaxing after building a paving stone area for the bar-be-que grills....

Trying to decide on what to watch at RSE's theatre.... (watched Nancy Drew - Reporter (1939) last night.)

Thinking about writing a blog post, but can't decide what to write about. Finished two out of the three books I've been reading at the same time for the last week. The last one's in pback, so as good as it is (and I'd rank it in second place of the three I've been reading), it'll take me forever to finish it. Still discovering what Li'l Bit can do - I finally got around to playing with handwriting recognition and was very pleasantly surprised.
