Buffistas

Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I picked up my Dad, who gave me a new purse.

... that's the third new purse in the last month. They're all kind of ugly matronly things, and I finally just told him, "No more purses! If you want to give me something, buy lunch." Oy. So now I have even more stuff to take to Good Will. But god knows whether he'll remember that the next time he's at Target and sees a purse.

I think it's because Mom would buy random (ugly) purses constantly, and so he got into the habit of it. Me, I have a good leather tote to bring to work, a small casual walking bag for weekends, and two nicer leather bags in red and black for special occasions. Who needs more bags than that? When she died, I think Mom had at least a dozen, and that was after we got rid of a bunch when they moved into assisted living.

Anyway. I really need to get over to Good Will, and the dry cleaners. Now, Really.

I have. How old is your Mac? How much memory does it have?

MacBook pro got in 2008 maybe. 8 gb of memory. My info says " your Mac contains 2 memory slots each of which accepts a 1333 MHz ddr3 memory module. All memory slots are currently in use"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I also stupidly went grocery shopping when everyone and their brother was doing the same thing.

We went grocery shopping TWICE today, once to take Tim's dad shopping, when the entire world was shopping, and then at another store for our groceries. (We have strong preferences as to where we shop, as does Tim's dad. In retrospect, it was a little silly to not just get our groceries at the same store.)

I wish I could make out with my electric blanket, just to let it know how much I appreciate it.

I feel that way about my heated mattress pad.

If you have 8G, then upgrading to Yosemite probably won't be a disaster. Probably. It's been relatively smooth for me, but other people have been having problems.

Ok I started the download. This is all so I can play marvel heroes with Mac.

So it downloaded. Restarted. And now I have had a screen saying "installing on Mac HD" "about 22 min remaining" no progress showing and that has been up about 12 min.

Yes, that was my experience, too.

Yeah, took forever for me, msbelle--mine is an "early 2011 macbook pro".

But once it was installed, while Chrome seemed to suck a lot (so much so that I switched back to Safari) but otherwise it's been fine. I'm enjoying messages.
