Computer Trauma

So I spent two hours on the phone with "Ray" from Verizon Internet last night and figured out what was wrong with my laptop. It seems that ebizwebpages (where my Chat Line website is hooked through) doesn't allow me to connect with a MAC....so I dug out my old old old 2001 HP PC Laptop to try to use that. Now I'm having trouble trying to download JAVA patches in order to open up the Live Chat Line on Firefox Browser. I don't know what the hell to do next. I spent all that money on a MAC laptop and it doesn't even work with the chat line.

UGH.

What is there to do but go out and buy a new computer? I thought about getting the Geek Squad out here to fix it, but...what does that do? Delay my getting a new computer for a few weeks...or months? I don't know. It's just frustrating. Everything was going well enough until a few weeks ago, then PfffT, done. No more access.

Why can't they make computers a little easier to understand. And why can't websites be a little more user friendly for both MAC and PC? Really, all I want to do is have access to my Live Chat in my living room! Any suggestions? Help!!!

Computers and The Lone Star State.

My computer really stinks. I'm not sure why...maybe it's too old? All I know is that it takes me forever to log onto my Chatline, and when I'm there, it is touch and go whether or not I can actually go live! Apparently some of you aren't seeing me there...because my site still says "I'm not here." What the hell? It really frustrates me. Because I want to talk to you all out there. Over the past few weeks, I've developed friendships and I'm really enjoying my time online chatting. UGH!!!

Oh well...I have to contact someone over there at ebizwebpages to get this straightened out. I'm missing out more than you are!

So I was in Texas last week and weekend. Austin and then San Antonio. I was meeting some of my friends out there. It was the first time I've ever been to Texas. Yee haw...it was fun. The San Antonio Riverwalk is beautiful. I wish that Philadelphia had something like it. Though it did get a bit boring walking around the same four loops over and over. Either way...I ate a TON of delicious Mexican food (margaritas included). It was ridiculously hot...90 degrees every day, despite the fact that October is supposed to be the best time of year to visit.

One story...
We were driving around (lost as usual), those access roads down there are CONFUSING! And we kept pulling off the highway and turning around, then turning around again...
Anyway...we were sitting on the side of an access road trying to figure out where we were going...when a truck pulls up along side us, and some tall dark Texan gets out and walks towards our rental car. Ok. We're from Philly. When a car pulls up next to you, you lock your doors and roll up your windows, right?? Well, this guy actually said that he saw us looking confused and turning around over and over again, and HELPED US WITH DIRECTIONS!! Can you even believe it? If I wasn't on my way to an event with my girlfriends...I may have just taken that sweet Texan back to my hotel and given him a proper Southern Thank You...

Maybe I'm in the wrong city? What do you all (or should I say "Y'all") think?

Vacation

Sorry I've been away for a few days....but I'm back now! I'm running out the door to get groceries, etc...since I've been away...but I'll post later!

Thanks! I'm back!!!

Breaking the Laws of Fashion

I wore white pants today. Is it a crime? You would have thought that I was breaking the laws of human nature, not making a fashion "faux pas." More than one person mentioned it...and I felt like I was being critically stared at as I walked down the street. (Or maybe I just look that good).

Look. I am cute. And I look good in my white pants. And I don't really know who made up the rules of not wearing white after a certain date...but I also don't really give a crap. Why should I keep a perfectly cute pair of pants in the closet for three quarters of the year? I pay way too much money for my pants to hide them away like were contraband when it's 80 degrees outside!

As I said..I'm not sure who made up these silly rules of style...but I've never really felt the need to subscribe to them. No short skirts after a certain age? We all know I don't follow that one.

Wearing last years trends...yes...I'm guilty on that count as well. I admit I'm going to pull out the leggings again this fall. I don't care if they are in style or not. I like them. They highlight my calves.

And Pigtails on a grown woman...well...I'm a fan...but they're only for when I'm feeling naughty.
