Oklahoma

Our first full day in Oklahoma was spent visiting with the Great Grandmas. Well, we managed to see one. Mike's grandmother wasn't home. We'll make it a point to see both of them multiple times while we're here though so no worries.

Other than that we had lunch out and went to Target. I forgot to bring Duncan's deodorant. The rest of the time we've enjoyed being slugs.

Cal has managed to check in with the neighborhood kids he plays with every year. Last night he was out playing until 10 pm. Being on Seattle time made it a challenge to fall asleep. I'm hopeful that tonight we'll have an easier time of it.

Tomorrow we'll meet up with Nana Gayle and go see Brave.

Quiet

First up, thank you, John Roberts! The USA today made huge strides in actually getting decent health care for everyone, not just the middle and upper incomes. The Supreme Court actually did what was right.

Secondly, Ze, about time you treat yourself to a real laptop. Welcome to the current computing days. Enjoy...and Windows 7 rocks, do not remove it. Get use to it and you will realize how good it is.

Third the house is quiet. Tamara and the boys are in Oklahoma where it is 98 degrees currently. I am home with my daughter and a comfortable cloudy 65 degrees and a few rain showers due anytime. Unlike the flooding, fires or way to hot, Seattle and Shoreline are in the perfect zone for me. But I do miss T and the boys. There is something to be said about chaos. I will do my best to enjoy eleven days of peace.

Lots of sleep over the next four days with no work and no major plans. Easy days with just me and my kiddo. Hopefully my episode can float on by.

To the rest of you, enjoy the updates.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Stay Safe.

Lots of people emailed to say to give 7 a chance and that it's excellent and user-friendly. And not to judge it by the wreck that was Vista, (cue booing & hissing). It seems that 7 is very popular. Don't worry, I will give it a fair shot. And if my programmes don't run on 7 I'm sure I can find alternatives that will. Or even built in components that do the same thing. Modern OS seem to have as standard things that once were extras.

Been watching the reports of the fires in Colorado - bloody ada they're frighteningly bad. Hope all our readers are safe. Same for the folks in Florida where the flooding seems even worse that the stuff we've had here. Please folks, don't hang about. If they say you should leave - leave. It's a hell of a thing to see everything you own go up in smoke, or vanish under water, but it would be a thousand times worse if you were in there when it did.

We were short of updates on our usual sites this evening, so I trawled around a bit to see what else I could find. Hope they're to your liking.

See you next week (on my new laptop by then *bounces*). Stay safe. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

New Toys

No - not that sort. Minds out of the gutter, people!!

My laptop was doing strange things this weekend. I'm-about-to-give-up-the-ghost-and-die-on-you type things. So I decided to give in before it gave up.

I decided to buy a new one.

A real new one. Not a new-to-me refurbished one. Not a hand-me-down-from-a-relative one. Not a free-to-collect-on-freecycle one. A real new one. As in - nobody owned it before me. Fresh, unadulterated, new.

My first ever new laptop.

I've been saving as much money as I can because I want to visit friends in the USA next year (including the terrible twosome who also update this site), and I've managed to get the airfare together. I still need to save more, I need to cover expenses at home for the period I'm away and therefore not working. Plus food & stuff while away. And travel to-and-from airports, etc. But I'm two-thirds of the way to having enough.

So I decided I could afford a laptop. Not a Mac though, much as I might like them. I can get to the USA and back twice for the price of the cheapest Mac. No, I looked around and settled on a Dell. I'm not a fan of Dell in general but they offered the best deal.

Blimey, haven't laptops changed. My first (second-hand) laptop had a 20gig hard-drive and 128 Meg of RAM. The one I decided I could afford this time has a 500gig hard-drive and 4gig of RAM. Considering that my current about-to-die machine has an 80gig hard-drive (and 256 Meg RAM) and I've used approximately half of that I don't think I'm going to run short of space on a 500 gig one, do you??

The only downside is - it runs Windows 7. I like XP. I've used XP comfortably for years. Ever since I upgraded from WIN98 when my old PC died. (You really don't want to know just how small the HD and ram was on that!!) I don't like change. And I'm not sure some of my favourite programmes (which are getting rather elderly) will run on Win7. But there isn't any option. It's Win 7 or nothing.

I've heard good things about Win7 though. My nephew likes it. Says it's Mac for Windows. And I suppose if I really, really hate it I can always borrow my sister's XP disc and load that instead. Of course the first thing I'll do is download a different browser. Then uninstall McAfee and load my own choices.

It arrives Thursday. (UPS not Royal Mail - that would take at least a fortnight!!) If you hear lots of cursing Thursday night, that'll be me, struggling with Win7.

Oklahoma Bound

The kids and I are counting down to our annual trip to Oklahoma. We'll be flying out Thursday. Cal is super excited. Once Duncan figured out he could get his Xbox into his carry on luggage he's been more amenable to making the trip. The only downside is he can't stay up most of the night playing. The Xbox gets set up in the room where I sleep and he has a mom who isn't a night owl.

The next few days I'll be packing. The kids will be enjoying the slug life. E is taking it very slow after her episode hit last Friday. Half days of work for most of this week and then home for a nap. Rest is really the best way for her to get back on an even keel once again.

The next time I type at you I'll be in the land of abundant sun and baking heat.

The weekend wraps up. Today is Pride Day in our city. Happy Pride, y'all!

We once again missed it. My weekend consisted mostly of sleeping. I will attempt a full day at work tomorrow, more than likely I'll be home early for a nap.

Here is hoping you all have a good week. Stay away from being dizzy, it sucks.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Summer Begins

Tomorrow is the last day of school for Duncan, Cal and me. All of us have a half day. The kids will hang out at the house and I'll spend some of my afternoon getting my eyes checked. I desperately need new glasses. I'm thinking it's finally time for bifocals.

Y'all enjoy the updates.

Rain Stopped Play.

Today is/was the summer Solstice. Happy Litha to our Wiccan, and Pagan, readers in the north. And happy Yule to Pagan, and Wiccan, readers in the south.

And here in my little part of England, especially to mark the start of summer, the rain returned!! The cricket match I was intending to see was called off.

So I went to the cinema and saw Prometheus again. (Second time of watching). A prequel to a prequel for Alien. I caught one or two things I missed the first time. I still think it's an excellent movie. And I still think there's absolutely no chemistry between Noomi and boyfriend. In fact there's more chemistry between Vickers and the android than between Shaw and Holloway.

And I really do question the intelligence of a woman who runs in a straight line away from a wheel-shaped spaceship which is rolling towards her. Run sideways you plonker!!

There is bound to be a sequel. Can't wait!!

Have a good week. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Hmm. What's new this week. Weather's great. Sunny, hot, beautiful. Summer has arrived, albeit briefly, the rain is supposed to return on Thursday.

The government sucks.

The crisis over the Euro has been averted (for a while anyway, until they wake up and remember that history has taught us that austerity measures make recessions worse not better, there's always the chance it may go pear-shaped again).

Lynn Ames' new book arrived today. I was surprised it got here so quickly. The Royal Mail isn't usually that swift.

In fact there was an opinion piece in my paper yesterday on that very thing. A US American correspondent, currently living over here, wrote a short piece comparing two institutions with their US equivalents. First she praised the NHS, said how brilliant it was. Especially compared to the US system. (Well, the World Health Org. has said The NHS is one of the most cost-effective and efficient services in the world. I think the US system comes well down the list). I preened a little at that. We Brits may grumble about the NHS but we love it.

Then she compared the Royal Mail with US Postal Service.

Unfavourably.

In fact she praised the USPS to the skies. And basically said the Royal Mail was crap.

Immediate knee-jerk reaction from me. Bloody Yank. How dare she... Then I stopped being an arrogant Little Englander for two seconds. And I had to admit that she was right. The USPS is pretty damn' good. The Royal Mail is expensive, inefficient, ineffective, and slow. The cynic in me wonders if this is deliberate. Yet more of our government's "destroy the national industries so we can sell the cheaply to our big-business friends and they can rake in the dosh" tactics. (They are, after all, trying to privatise the NHS by the back door - not quite successfully as things stand, doctors, nurses, and the public took up arms against it.) It has already been set up so that RM can be privatised at any moment. But if I'm honest I have to admit that this sorry state of affairs pre-dates the current administration. And the one before.

Maybe we should send the chairman of the Royal Mail over to the USA to learn how it's done.

Oddity

I am a collector or gadgets. Some work, some don't. So to be honest over the last couple of years I have surprised myself by having some type of block when it comes to the new electronics out there. I don't own a smart phone and I just recently (last 30 days or so) have gotten electronics that involve apps. However tonight I worked through an issue with my Phillips Connect and have downloaded a new music playing app. I officially have purchased one and hopefully it will continue to work well.

Next I have a new Nook tablet that I actually won at my conference last month, so I have put a couple books down on it in hopes to get use to it as well. It may take a little longer.

I am preparing myself for the eventual trade in. End of the year is time to upgrade the phone and I think the time has come. Smartphone here we come.

You got advice let me know.

Until then please enjoy those updates.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Father's Day

Today many folks in the US (and other countries) celebrated Father's Day. When I lived in Oklahoma we'd head over to my parent's house and grill something for dinner. I stopped giving my dad any kind of card or gift years ago. He hates opening them and I decided it would be a nicer Father's Day gift to spare him the discomfort.

Here's hoping whatever you did today, it was fun.
