Isolated Blurt Thread

I think those are actually sought after, aren't they?

The compac is for my dad who has a bunch of files on an old hard drive, and wants to retrieve them. There's software that (supposedly) will convert his ancient Word Perfect into Word.

His ancient Word Perfect can save its files as .txt files with line breaks. The .txt files can be imported into anything.

An hour of laughing and mindless boardgames over a glass and a half of chardonnay.

Scalding Hot bubble bath with mandarin and honey bath souffle, a hint of jasmine. Lazy orgasm. Soaking while enjoying a sufficient amount of Cannabis sativa.

Luke warm shower with chocolate, orange, and coffee shower gel. Hard orgasm.

Melt in mouth strawberry filled dark chocolate truffle.

Naked and comfortable nap in a warm, soft blanket.

The perfect evening.

sweetest dreams love

End of year sweeps and the monthly contest sweep results since March. Everything has stacked up like last year.

Still confused, sorry. Is there a monthly sweep after a contest?

 

[Tarakin]

I stopped caring so long ago that i dont know why i bothered going to university.

Fuck this shit, i can't do it.

You can. Keep faith. I believe in you.

No before. They just now announced March's Reader's Choice winners, so they probably did a sweep before deciding the winners.

Thank you, Ogg!

The monitors are actually really good. I still use one as a small tv. But the rest...I think no one really wants them. If you know someone who does, let me know. I have 2.


It shouldn't be that difficult to convert the WordPerfect files into Word and you should be able to just hook up his old HD to any computer to retrieve the files. Most newer computers still have IDE cables.
I think.

Happy Birthday Maeve! Hopefully things look up!!!

I don't want to go to work... it's far too cold out. My bed is so nice and snuggly. I think I will just hibernate.

Welcome to the AH! Don't let the pervs scare you...oh, wait, we're all pervs

Pay no attention to the random groping

You are their grandmother. It's not babysitting, and I shouldn't have to pay you a dime. It's pretty pathetic to try and lay on the guilt because I got a Christmas present! I don't have a problem with giving you gas money since you pick them up from school, but I shouldn't have to pay you to watch them for an hour a day! Especially since you know I had to go back to work just so we could pay our bills. I'm not working full time to have money to blow. It's to pay the fucking bills and have food on our table!!

If he's happy, then I'm happy.

I'm posting from a speeding Amtrak train using my nifty new Sprint internet-anywhere card and service. It's not completely happy in some stretches - kind of like a cell phone blipping in and out of bad service patches, but overall not bad. Plus - I never have to be without internet! Woo-hoo! (More fun and higher productivity for Roxanne. )

I am going cross-country this May. I shall have a Mac laptop. It would be very slick to use a card of that kind. Productivity be damned, we need to find hotels and shit.

Can you PM me some kind of ballpark figure? What does such a service and card cost?

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

1 minute on this washing machine is more like 30.

 

[MaeveoSliabh]

Like.... now. I have three days more, maybe?

Nope. It's automatic, and will be sent to the house.

You sure you want to be sitting here reading til next week?

 

[CeriseNoire]

If I could just finish one, then I'm sure everything else would follow.

Maybe I should start posting some stories here again... might alleviate the pressure.
