Jayne ,'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay new computers!
I would watch either movie--the one with the ghouls or the coke-vanquished vampire one.
I just came back from a wine tasting at the local hippie grocery. There were seven tables with 5-6 bottles each. Mmmmmm. Feeling very charitable toward the whole world right now.
I'm glad you got your new computer, Raq.
the coke-vanquished vampire
After all, Coke adds life.
Beverly, the sock cuffs idea sounds interesting (I echo your 'darning? hah!' type sentiment). Presumably you cut off the toe end? I can see that giving me more movement than fingerless gloves do.
HA. Got a wild hare, and changed out Dan's "nighstand" (one of those plastic 3-tier drawer things, with a wooden stool with books on it right by) for a sturdy stack of my 2 vintage leather hatboxes, and hauled one of the two dresser drawers in out TEENY bedroom in my office here.
Office is a bit crowded, but the closet with all my hanging clothes in in here anyway, and the bedroom looks SO much better, I cannot believe.
I hated that nightstand setup with a fiery, burning hate, and although I would still like to have matching nightstands with drawers one day, this set up is worlds. better. The room feels neater and much less crowded and slapdash.
This is the method my mother taught me for darning socks:
1. Pick up sock.
2. Examine it carefully for holes.
3. If holes are present, say, "Darn sock!"
4. Put in stash of dusting cloths.
I probably could've fixed the old computer, but it pre-dates Mal, and over the years everything's failed on it. I've lost a hard drive, replaced the RAM, replaced the graphics card and audio card, only one of the two DVD drives still works, and it only reads, doesn't write. And the case is trashed.
So since I no longer need a top of the line gaming machine, I ordered a Dell outlet refurb which got here right away. It was the easiest computer setup ever.
seconding windsparrow's mom's method. i also sometimes cut off the toes and small bit of heel in order to make a washable liner for wrist braces that i wear at night during flareups. Man, about a month after my first bout of tendonitis that wrist brace *stank*. I apparently have very malodorous wrists.
erin_o, I didn't want to say anything. But yeah, we could smell it all the way over at the sound tech tables.
I dust with clean old socks. Slap them on your hands and it works really well for books and bookshelves.
