Flash Foward

This is a newer TV show on ABC, I have to say I really enjoy it so far. Normally I do not like watching Tv but I will say this has been interesting. I believe the same person who did lost also did this, and I like lost. It about everyone passing out for 2 minutes or so and then seeing their future, or a future. It almost seems all the main characters are in some type of trouble or will be in trouble in the near future.
I do not think it possible to get everyone in the same country to pass out like this but it would defendantly be very scary if that could happen. One place I wouldn’t want to be is orlando vacations if that ever happened. It is very similar to Lost in how they tried to figure out what was going on and why it was going on. I hope they keep this show this way, and keep having lots of unanswered questions.

Not a good week with computers

Okay I am not happy with Vista. My computer crashed and it didn’t help find the problem. Something in Windows got corrupted, and I lost everything on my desktop. Thank goodness I had most of it backup and I do not have to worry about lose data, just the pain in the backside of reinstalling everything and falling behind in school. I got my laptop back from Best Buy Geek squad.
My laptop had a virus when it came back and thank goodness my virus detector found it and cleaned it out. I am a little annoyed, had I lost this stuff it would have been bad, because I would have so much more downloading to do. I am going to be installing Windows 7 I think to at least one of my computers and hopefully it works better then Vista. I am not upset with Best Buy but I just do not understand how the laptop got a virus in it when it was with them. Maybe who they sent it to for repairs caused the trouble and not them.
I should look at getting insurance quote for covering just my computers and hubby. Hubby recently lost 2 hard drives since witching over to Vista. I am not saying Vista is horrible but there are some problems there, which I don’t think Word did a good job of fixing.
I was told I would have my laptop in 2 to 3 weeks, and got it on the inside part of 2 to 3 weeks, so that makes me happy. The laptop doesn’t seem to be running to hot but still is running a little on the slow side.

Paranormal state

Yesterday my husband and I went and watched Paranormal State. I will have to say it wasn’t what I was expecting and would have like a little more to it. It does start out kind of like an episode of Ghost Hunters. I like that show a lot, but that’s neither here or there. In the movie the girl had a hunting, which was demonic in nature. It was something which followed her around from childhood. Not everything in the movie was far fetch some of it was a little far fetch. Some of the video footage was interesting. In the last scene I wonder if they had help from someone like the Plano cosmetic dentist. The girl seemed to have animal teeth weird and not possible.
The movie wasn’t as scary as they claimed, although my husband said it could get into someone mind. I think it might have gotten into his mind. It wasn’t to bad. Someone brought their infant child with them, as a parent I would have never done that, because I think something like this I would wait until my child at least 7 or older and that’s saying they like scary things and won’t get freak out by it. The movie has potentials to freak a young person out.
The most interesting scene to me was the one where the weje board caught fire, and moved on it own. Now I am not sure how possible that is I thought it needed some unwise humans to help it move.

Andes Creme de Menthe cookies

I am going to need to get something to clear acne with all the chocolate I want right now. Today we stop at holidays on the way to the wedding, and I saw the Ande’s Creme de Menthe cookies. Now anyone who knows me some of my favorate chocolate is the Ande’s mint. If I want chocolate and mint that what I get, they taste better then any girl scout cookies ever.
I will have to hide them from dad, the human garbage disposo because I am going to need them in the coming week. I used them to replace my breakfast, and got some cheddar puff corn figuring that the wedding would reach more then my wheat allowance for the day, and I would want a snack sometime today. So I could have my naughty cookies and lol puff corn later, which just isn’t as good. Tonight I ended up getting some cracker jacks, haven’t had them in a long time. Now I have all the candies I could need.
The Ande’s cookies are great and they melt in your mouth at least the chocolate does.

System Mechanics

This week has really sucked. The highlights of my week this week was a chili dinner last night and a wedding today. Now I am back home wanting to throw my computer out the window as far as I can throw it. Last night my computer did the Oh by the way forget me working correctly for you. I have to many errors. ANd to be a real pain in your Butt I am not going to let you restart the normal way. You know that homework assignment and blog posting you want to do FORGET IT. I am NOT working for you, haha haha. I think if my computer was talking to me that’s about what it would say, and when asked why you doing this it probably would have told me. Because you don’t use me enough, you always have that laptop on your lap. You just use me when that’s not available. Then when you do use me, you don’t treat me the same way as the laptop. Dummy don’t turn the virus detector off, I’ll tell you what, if you do it won’t keep me safe. oh and by the way I expect a vacation at Outer Banks rentals
Okay now I know some of my Church friends are sitting there rebuking me for calling myself stupid, but I am not calling myself that, I just thinking about what the computer would say if it could actually talk to me.
Anyways, my husband give me his System Mechanics disk, thank goodness for him having it. It found a bunch of errors and my computer was 34% defrag, that’s not good when a computer which has 250 Gigs of hard drive and only using 45 gigs of space, that can causes a lot of trouble. My system registry had over 370 errors, that is not good. I hope this work, tech support from school wants to call me to help me further but LOL I am not sure I want to, but I do need them to fix the SSL error of theirs. Anyways System mechanics got my computer running for me, and it running faster again. I have not froze at all and been able to pretty much move freely on the internet.
I would recommend this program for a person with a little computer knowledge. I knew something was wrong with my computer, and tried several things, my husband and I are fairly computer literate. Hubby told me not to download the virus detector given in the program.

Taking dad to Famous Dave’s

On Friday, I took dad out for dinner. We went to Famous Dave’s on 98th and Normandale BLVD, they are pretty good. I didn’t realize that we headed over there during the dinner rush. I felt bad telling them I had a pork allergy. The waitor told me he’d have the cook clean the grill and I told him No, it’s pretty much dinner rush, have them heat my Peta some other way.
When we first came in there was a greeter there, to be honest he was a little much to deal with but a nice young man. He was overly happy, and kindof bugged dad. I try not to let people get to me.
Dad ordered the Meatloaf platter, he liked it. In place of the greenbeans dad wanted drunkin Apples. Dad ate all his meal and ate more then he normally does and faster too. He was done with his dinner before I even finished my dinner. Wow, that’s a first. I think he ate as fast as a 115334 vacuum motor picks up dirt.
I ordered the Salmon spread with Peta bread. It was good. I also ordered a side of drunkin apple. I think the apples are one of my favorite things at Famous Dave’s. Our waiter did a good job, and got everything we needed and didn’t make any mistakes.
He was very kind to dad and very nice to me too. Everytime we take dad there it always goes well. There is a lot of things Hubby and dad likes, and there’s a couple things on their menu I enjoy. My favorate is the Salmon spread.

Spent 5 hours in phone with Tech Support

Wow is all I can say, I honestly think the problem is on the school side now because LOL they never fix the problem I called in for; however, they did fix a virus and some repeated files. So I can not complain or get to mad. The first guy I had was a level one, and he did everything he could think of, same thing the level 2 guy did and got no results. Level 2 guy tried a couple of things with me and it didn’t work finally I ended up giving him control over the computer. Thank Goodness my college tech does this for free because I would hate to see my bill. In the end I am happy with the tech support, because they fixed the problems I had which had nothing to do with school, but had to do with school, because if this computer crashes I don’t have a backup for three weeks, and I start class on Monday.
I keep nice with him while he was looking for things, and he was nice, at the end of the conversation we both agreed that we did not want to repeat this again. When I started the call, I told him I am a little frustrated because my book won’t unlock for me and now I can not get my reading and I need to do homework. I schedule my homework out which later in our call I told him, so I just might end up being the first call to tell them something wrong. My joke is, if something needs work it’s always bad, takes a long time. When I break things I break it right.
He asked me if I used an other computer along with this one, I told him yes, but that with Best Buy because that was overheating and I was having some other problems. Right now would be a good time for me to invest in something like a Corporate usb drive, One that I can divide in half and use part for the laptop and the other part for the desktop.
The guy I had was impress with how I remained pleasant and didn’t get angry at him. I joked and told him maybe because I get to throw around children all day long. I work with Autistic children, and some of them like the ball pit. My favorite part of the day sometimes is Big GYM or when a kid gets something they been working on and finally succeeds. I joked with him working with children make me more patient because I have to be. I don’t know, I think the reason I didn’t get angry at them is because they didn’t seem stupid, they took the steps they needed and found 2 things causing me trouble and fixed it at no charge. Why am I going to complain and be rude when they are helping me fix a problem in the first place, which speed up the computer, and stopped a error message every time I used explore. He suggested I uninstall Foxfire and reinstall it to make it play nicer with school. I have a very old one, and I don’t use this enough so getting updates is like playing a joke on myself. I’ve updated it. He told me don’t import from Explore because that will cause me trouble if something bad on it. Okay I can give that a try. I am so happy my computers running better and he fix what I didn’t get to. I was trying to figure out the error message and when he and I worked together on it, and he got files to not be invisible that when I saw the program causing the error message, that one was a phishing one trying to still my info.

Play in Trade in Bloomington

My husband and I have recently started going there to get some games. It is closer to use and easier to get too. Hubby birthday was this week and he’s been itching for some new games so I let him, I figured they had a huge sale and hey why not, keep the hubby happy. While at the counter I noticed they where offering 10% of on all A grades received in school, including college. I think I will bring my report card from college in, LOL I am almost a straight A student why not do it although this past year I haven’t exactly stayed with all A had research with kind of missed me up. Research was unpleasant. But anyways. My husband got 2 sports games so don’t expect a review from me on the games, because I am not a sports person I hate sports. I bet hubby got them because he wants to play them on our new LCD HDTV the Sony Bravia, let me tell you updating and figuring out how to get 1080p to work on PS3 was not a fun task, it was actually annoying. It was one of the most difficult thing we had to figure out. Now you’d think a Sony Tv, and the PS3 which is also made by SONY would be able to talk to each other but they don’t communicate well. The XBox360 was easier to deal with getting it to show the highest resolution possible. Boy I haven’t played any games lately maybe I will tonight, I haven’t even touch homework tonight, but I think both assignments will be easy. When went over to play in trade shortly after we got our tv one of their guys was able to give us good advice and we really appreciated him for it, saved use at least 100$ on stuff we didn’t really need.

More on my Toshiba

Well I have had my Toshiba for quiet a while, I am still happy with mylaptop. Here are some of the things I have notice it tends to run on the hot side which worries me that it going to burn out quickly. I need to look at buying a new fan for my laptop and make sure it doesn’t over heat.
What am I happy with, I like the way most games on facebook plays nicely and the laptop is fast enough to handle it. I like the fact if I wanted to I could watch a DVD or listen to music from the computer.
What I don’t like about it is how cluttered it was as far as start up programs, and that it runs a little on the hot side. On a scale of 1 to 10 one being the worst and 10 being the best I would rate my lap top a 8.5, the reason why because it runs hot and I still haven’t figure out how to get the computer to start faster then it is now. If I could figure it out I would give it probably a 9 or so. I would recommend this computer to anyone, but I would warn them about a couple of the downsides.

Yummy Papa John Pizza

First word Yummy and I could almost end my post here. I used to work for Papa Johns a long time ago and that how I discovered them, they where my favorite pizza back then. When I moved her they wouldn’t deliver so I had to use the other delivery places and never got my Pizza in a timely manner, so I stopped ordering it for delivery and found other places to go. Well tonight I decided to call Papa Johns and see if they changed their delivery area, because sometimes they change it. The conversation started out by I would like to order delivery but I need to know if you deliver in my area because last time I called I was to fair. I explained where I lived and they asked for the address. Yeppie they deliver I am in hog heaven. The reason I like them so much is because their crust is great and it has a nice flavor, and the garlic butter goes perfectly with just about any pizza. Dad wanted sausage, now may who read my site now I am allergic to pork products and even if I was I wouldn’t eat it. We do not force dad to eat the way my hubby and I do if he wants to eat it I will let him, but I will not cook it for him, because I can’t even touch it. This is probably a good reason for me to never work in a store which sales it.
I was told my Pizzas would take 30 minutes it was here closer to 25 minutes, and they was warm. I was watching for the car, because I knew most pizza places can’t seem to figure out where I live. It annoying and normally the other places take a hour or more, so I am very happy I got it within a half hour like they promised.
Had had a thin crust and he liked it. I had the original crust, and both were very good. Mine was plain cheese. The last time I had Papa Johns was when I lived in St. Paul, and still had my 2 marble glass tables, I need to fix the smaller one still, but it probably won’t happen. I wonder if can find some glass tiles which will fit my little table. So it been over 3 years, wow and their pizza still just as good as it was back than. I told my driver I was happy they finally deliver in my area, and he told they they come here at least 5 times a day and call them first and they will make sure I get the pizza in a timely manner. Grant it I did tell him I was surprised he had found me as quickly as he did. But if they are coming five times a day, they better be able to find me with no help needed.
