"Naughty stuff." To say anything further would be TMI.

Yes it would.

well finally got my beauty tips entry done, that took longer than i thought XD man it takes alot to blog everyday rofls XP didnt get nothin else done today either meant to go to the store to look at dye when my mom went to sleep before work but she decided to sleep till 1 and pull an all nighter so that didnt happen, spent the rest of the day going through old school papers that she had saved for some reason and throwing stuff away.

all!  Many blessings in this new year to you all   From a quick general thread perusal it looks like this new year is heading in positive directions for most.  A very encouraging sign! 

Me too!

Morning everyone.

Son goes back to school this morning, as y'all can tell by how early I'm around...  I've been in for about a half hour or so but I've been busy getting caught up.  YIKES.

I'm not sure what's all happening today while Son is in school but Hubby did mention something about doing stuff that would require me going offline for a while here and there... So I'll probably be around on and off until after Son gets home from school. I do know I want that BLASTED tree down, it's still UP and it's in MY WAY!!

Morning

As  a form of avoiding my housework I have been trying to think of some creative ways to help with your document conversion/transfer dilema.  you may be able to email yourself the documents from the old computer if you can still get it on-line  Then not only will you have a copy of your originals, you can download them whenever you like to the newer one.  No matter how much writing you've done, the great thing is those kinds of files are never too large to be inconvenient on dial up.  It's also possible that a free office software programe like open office, libre office or star office would be able to open the file and then you could save them as docs.  It may also be possible to rename the files as .txt or .doc to open them in word.  I would recommend trying this with copies first though.

If both computers have network cards and you have a router available, even though you can't use a router to share dial-up between your computers, you could have a local network set up so the new computer can access the older one directly.  Just a few ideas I have used before to move files for people...  Hope it helps in some way.  Now I better get busy on the housework... le sigh..

I actually own dos on floppy - guess that lets out my secret of how geeky/nerdy I really am! lols  If I wasn't half a country away, I actually have all the parts/equipment needed to make those things possible.   It's something I really enjoy doing, like alot of guys and old cars... I like to see how much I can get out of an older computer   I have an old compaq pentium here in the basement that runs windows 98se, dos, linux and is network ready with only 64 mb of ram memory.    Anyways, another suggestion I have that might save you a bit of typing... do you have a scanner ?  They usually come with OCR software now so at least once you print the pages off the old comp, if you scan them into the new one, it will automatically convert them to word and all you'll have to do is proof read them for the occasional spelling errors instead of having to retype everything...  And as you can see, I am still avoiding my housework...

Afternoon!

We've been to town and back already and I'm in for the day, more or less. At some point, I'm going to take an "exercise break" but that won't be for a while. I need to get caught up first!

Penth!!!

I know it's pretty frustrating with the foreign "english" speaking csr's.  I lost my customer support job for an american cell-phone company to the Phillipines 4 years ago.  Before that, almost every call I had was "Oh thank (deity of choice) I can understand you!"  Customers were already fed up before they let the rest of us North American csr's go.  I could tell from how their stock plummeted after that the customers were even less happy after the switch.  If it turns out the card number was stolen by a csr, they will be severely dealt with.  We had one who did that in my training crew.  They were made completely unrehireable and the cops threw the book at them too. 

Still avoiding the house work btw   And hoping my egg rolls will be ready soon   I am trying to stay positive.  We just found out my niece's steady playdate has been caught playing in a couple other playgrounds.  After she spent almost a $1000 on a plane ticket to come see him :|  (That's a good "general" rated way of describing things I hope?)  Apparently ended with a boxing match and my niece being kicked out of the house in a city where she had no one else.  My sister had to go get her. So, I'm not very happy right now.  Good thing I  don't know how to drive...

my one sri lankan friend was sent to an english speaking boarding school before college so she wouldnt have an accent, it still comes out when she gets frustrated though its totally adorable
