Chris and I usually say that the best way to find something is to go buy a replacement.

You are completely right. That always happens to me too, when I clean the cellar.

It's normal to find something when you've got a replacement, but to find the original where it is supposed to be is silly. I've already told him from now on whenever he has lost something, which happens regularly, we will first ask him if he has checked the place where it should be.

KK. What's a pajamagram?

Okay!! I don't get as much as I would like, but that sounds like fun.
If your mother doen't want it, wrap it up and send it 'thisaway'.

I treated myself to two DVD's; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Girl
who played with Fire. My neighbour and I loved them both.

Cheers

I hope you read the books first. I provided a narrative to poor bloke the whole way through those DVDs (He smiled funny at me!) The darn DVDs leave out so much important detail.

I read all three, twice!!

I loved them, and told my hubby that he would hate them (He doesn't like reading.), so invited my neighbour instead, who also read the books and enjoyed them.

I agree about the DVD's leaving out a lot though.

Cheers

First of all he tends to blame either my mom or me for losing something, even if we have never seen the thing or knew of its existence.

Also he's used to telling him to check something when something is wrong. It has happened several times that he was upgrading or installing a computer or new hifi/tv electronics and it didn't work, most of the time it was because he hadn't plugged something in properly. So when he is now messing around with electronics and it doesn't work and he's cursing we always first tell him to check all the plugs (and 9 out of 10 times that solves the problem).

Perusing OBDII car-diagnostic software for my Droid X. Wonder what else it'll be capable of before I finally think it's worth an upgrade?

Also, I've decided that Verizon should pay me a commission. Kenny was the first, then my wife. 3 other friends of mine have expressed a serious interest in the Droid X as well, and the blasted thing is EOL at the end of March.

If you think I would have bought it just cause of you, I got news.



What's OBDII car-diagnostic? Is there a plug to connect to your car?
