Mamacita says: I am writing this on my new Gateway laptop. Thank you, oh Credit Card Gods, that there was enough room on you for this purchase!
My old desktop computer is still in Safe Mode, which is actually good for not-too-much, and I will leave it that way until my son, the computer guru, comes home and says “Sure, Mom” when I ask him to tinker with it and try to make it behave itself as a proper computer should, ie do what I tell it. You know, like the children always did. Stop laughing!
Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. I’ve been married longer than many of you have been alive. To remember how long I’ve been married, I have to think of our daughter’s age and add a year and a half. That’s EIGHTEEN months, for those of you who are counting on your fingers.
People always used to figure up the months between the wedding and the birth, to see if the couple had any self-control. I don’t imagine it’s done all that much these days, because nobody seems to have any.
Self control, I mean. They’re still having babies, and often the day after the wedding, if indeed there is any wedding at all. I’m glad they don’t still stamp “illegitimate” on birth certificates any more; it’s not the baby’s fault. And most people these days don’t even know what the legal definition of ‘bastard’ is. Ultimately, it’s nobody else’s business.
Where did that topic come from, anyway? I am the Queen of Tangents.
And, I have a Gateway laptop. So far, so good.
It’s navy blue. His name is Hal.
I love him.
Enjoy the Gateway, Jane. I bought my Toshiba laptop last February, and l.t. and I are celebrating our first anniversary next month.

You haven’t been married for 52 years, have you? I do the same thing except I cheat and say 2 years. (it was actually 18 months, just like you!) Let me know what you think of the Gateway; I may be in the market for a laptop in the near future. Does it have a DVD record/play drive, firewire port, camera and microphone included? That’s what I would like.

Belated HAPPY ANNIVERSARY wishes to you and Tim! And very HAPPY BD wishes for you, as well. I remembered both events…I just didn’t remember at the right time. Sorry. 🙁

I love my (fairly new) laptop, too. Her color is Ruby Red, so obviously her name had to be Dorothy, oh she of the ruby red slippers.
Enjoy your perspective on many things, esp today’s tangent!

Y’know, I always was a little confused as to why the government seemed to think they could ‘approve’ what is supposed to be a religious institution. I have sworn never to ask the government permission concerning a personal relationship again. I may have a ceremony and a party and some sort of official to preside over it, but I’m never again signing the government paperwork. All they’ve done is give my ex ways to screw with my life forever and ever.
It helps that my work now offers benefits for ‘domestic partners.’ That was really the only reason I signd the paperwork to begin with. The ex needed the health insurance. And now he’s holding off on finalizing the divorce in every way he can so he can get all of his medical/dental work in before he’s kicked off.
Congratulations on your anniversary, and on the lap top. I need to invest in one of those soon. It will seriously improve my online experience, what with 5 people in the house and only one computer. My novel is sitting at about 55,000 words and I never seem to get on to finish it.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. Nice present you got there.

I’m encouraged to see that someone other than I is awake at this ridiculous hour. As it happens, my desktop also dropped dead the other day, and I’m on my laptop too, albeit a Toshiba. For future reference, I highly recommend slickdeals.net before making any tech purchases. I realize, of course, that most teachers are independently wealthy and don’t care at all what things cost.
Congrats on your anniversary.
