Computer Problems


It has been a LONG time since I have posted anything. But I do have a good excuse...I promise. Our computer crashed! It has been such a pain in the patootie. I did not realize just how much I use the computer. My first research paper was due like 3 days after it crashed and let me tell ya...I was stressing out trying to figure out how to get it all done. I did learn that the library can be helpful.I never knew you could go to the library and use the Internet for free. They charge you 10 cents per page to copy which isn't that bad I guess.When I asked the librarian to look up my card, I realized it has been 4 years since I took my kids there...whoops (guilt guilt) Thanks to Tiff for letting me use her computer and the library for the use of their copier I was able to turn my paper in on time. Anyhew...Alot has happened in the past month and now that we have restored our computer I hope to be able to start posting again:) We had to toally erase everything on our computer to restore it...pictures, taxes, files etc...If only we had used the external hard drive we bought the week before JUST IN CASE anything like that ever happened. Isn't it weird how sometimes ya just sense something is going to happen but you don't do anything about it. Hind site is 20 20 I guess.

Cell phone popcorn!

This has got to be one of the most eye opening things I have read in a long time! I was scanning through my emails this morning and came across this email from my sister. It showed a video clip of people putting four cell phones in flower petal positions all pointing toward the center. They put unpopped popcorn kernels in the middle. Next they dialed each cell phone simotaneousley and to my suprise the microwave rays from the cell phones popped the popcorn. WOW>>makes me want to get a diode for my cell phone. Makes ya wonder what cell phones are doing to our brain huh? Just click on my link that says "cell phone popcorn".. very interesting!
