Note to Self – Do not format main disk drive with new operating system prior to finding ALL 5 year old CD’s with the correct drivers on them, especially when going back to Windows 2000 from XP.
Note to Self – Give credit where credit is due. I was reading my prior post. Something about the style looked familiar. Then I figured it out. I hijacked Mist’s writing style. There’s your credit, girlfriend. So no more nasty mail from your lawyers.
Note to Self – The Fringes Law – No matter how many posts you read in a day, Fringes will always write 1 more than you can read. You will Always be behind. Get over it.
New Year, 2007! Far be it from me to tell you what kind of New Year to have, happy or otherwise.

Ahhhh,
The old don't locate drivers thang. If it makes you feel better(and feel free to lie to me here and say 'no BD no that doesn't help at all'), I did the same thing a while back and had NO clue what the hell a driver was. Truck, car, motercycle, or screw driver? What the hell am I looking for?
Lets put it this way, BD, when you restart your computer, and it pops up in VGA 16 color mode, with no wireless connection to our hub, no Lan Card working, and no sound, you know you just got impaled without the vaseline.
I went through this once--I thought I had everythign I needed then wham..I realized I didn't have service disk 2. Oh no, you say, oh yes I reply. This turns out to be a crucial element to making a computer, oh I don't know, WORK. I ended up hijackin' one from the ol' POD land and all is well. Whew babbling on a Tuesday so early. I made it through the new year without imploding. Hope things are well in yours. What's your resolution, by the by?
I'm still going to sue. I don't keep my lawyer on retainer for my health.
Surely, with me away from my PC most of the weekend, you're all caught up now. I'll even give you a reading head start--going to watch TV while waiting for the icemaker to make more ice for my Mikearitas. No postings wil be written in that time. Happy New Year!
I've been away since Friday afternoon, Baby. Between you and Mist, and BD's sudden inspiration to spout like 3 posts in two days, I can't keep up and.... well, work, too. Still haven't found all of the drivers, and without that wireless driver, no internet connection for me, no.
But Hey, I'm taking myself less seriously, right? New Year's Goal and all. I shaved my head this morning so I wouldn't have any hair to pull out when I got to work and saw the pileup on my desk. That and the 75 incoming emails piled in my Inbox. Smile, see the smile. No, really. I'm smiling. No, that is not a gnashing of the teeth. Really, you'd absolutely have to have sound to catch me doing that. Smile. smile. .....................
When I went to work yesterday I had 1,574 emails of which I had to wade through to find out which were just junk. End result: 5 emails that mattered. Happy. New. Year.
...I still have hair to pull out.
You could do much worse than copying Mist 1's writing style. She is just too funny.
Why do you hate people who want to read your stuff by torturing us with black background and dark type? We want to be fans but we just can't take it.

Can you read the comments on the page alright? I usually post by email and often forget to change the text color. But if you can read the comments alright, I can always switch - for the benefit of my readers.
I can read the coments perfectly and from there I can click on th4e "show original post" link that will let me read the entire post in blissful black and white.
I usually hate to complain on someone's design choice but today's type just really gave me a lot more eye strain than usual.
No happy new year mandate? I'm like a ship without a rudder now. I'm floundering here. Give me some sort of direction for my life. no? fine. My neighbor's dog, he'll tell me what to do then. Let that be a lesson to you.

I shot that dog and served it up as paygogi, Bice. If you need guidance for the new year, face each cardinal direction in turn, starting at North. As you face each one, breath deeply through your nose. When you are through, pick the direction that smelled the least repulsive and head that way. *g*
That's too much work and way too damn complicated to remember. I think I'll just build a shanty town out of all the empty shoe boxes in the dumpster behind Mist 1's blog and live there. Fringes will bring me cookies and Mike's everyday (since I'm her blog crush now) so I'm set for '07.
