Another case of Computer Rage!

What a struggle this morning, took well over an hour to send out the pictures. I had to re-boot the machine for every item.
I have since received eMails from several people saying they can't successfully make comments.
I think I shall title my memoirs "The Trouble with Google!".

It has been reported that some parts of the US were unable to access Google and/or other parts of Google's sub domians like Blogger and it's Comment section.

Beyond our control - It should be cleard up by now.

I think I just figured out this comment thing, if you are not a registerd "BLOGGER". Where it says "Choose an Identity", select OTHER, and your comment will go through. Don't forget to include your name in the "NAME" box like I just did. Jimmy Cole

It's probably because of their (Google's) birthday--too much partying. Keep up the great stuff, both of you!

It is amazing how important The Shaz and Buckles have become in our lives! What ever did we do before the Blog? When my computer acts up I sure get a lot of work done. Working off COMPUTER RAGE. You two are quite the team. Who would have thunk it years ago.

At least we can laugh about it....

Here's a funney one for you....

A cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"



The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored.

He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel Spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few
minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?" The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says the cowboy.



"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows........

Now give me back my dog.

Thank goodness they have internet in the room and the morphine is slowing down!

Cindy, The blog is more adictive then morphine. Hope you are out of there soon. I just spent 4 days in the hospital and it is not fun. Get better and get home. You can laugh out loud and no one will think you are nuts. The nurses had their doubts about me. Then again so do a lot of people.

During my last time laid up, I spent many happy hours driftin' and dreamin' on morphine sulfate. It's a little too sweet, but truly an answer when you need it. Once you don't, move on, and hope you don't need it again. Do it my way and let the House of Seagrams take over.

Thanks for the good words, Rebecca & Rog! Morphine is a fine thing, but enough IS enough! I'm doing great and have had no complications. I have lost 24 lbs in two weeks! I finally back at work and can catch up on the BLOG...of course I need to catch up on work, too!
