Something About Nothing..........#11

[macraven]

My computer is dying so I went to the apple store today to replace it.
Picking it up when my transferring of docs is done.

Hope that will be Thursday.

In the meantime, using the stupid ipad.

Bluer set my favorites for me in October but I did something wrong and screwed it up.


Wonder if he makes house calls?
Will teach him and mrs. bluer how to make snow angels......

Hubs' computer finally bit the dust as well. It lasted a long time though.. He finally got his school money so he is going to buy another one soon. I would looove to have an iPad! I mainly use my iPhone to get on here or fb. I have reading apps on here too, but I'd love to have a bigger screen. Do you not like yours? Is it a pain to use or something? I don't actually know anyone with one, I have only read the reviews online.. So, we are supposed to have a heat wave here this week.. It might even get close to 50 degrees!! Might have to break out the swimsuit and shorts!

My 24" iMac is 8 years old.
It takes about 5-6 minutes to load as of today..........ugh...

Bought the 27" iMac today.
Keyboard is compact, blue tooth mouse.
Did not want the tracking plate.

I prefer to type so my ipad isn't my style of usage.

Not going to get into the subject of swimsuits.
Too cold here.....

Hope everything works out with the new computer. Mr bluer makes house calls but I will need him back by Saturday.
Maybe someday you can teach us how to make snow angels.

Hi

Congrats on scoring the free cruise Janet...that's awesome

I guess we will have to eat sandwiches by candlelight for dinner tonight since our lights went out just when I put the chicken in the oven

At least I know it will probably get fixed in a few hours as we are expecting an ice storm tomorrow and have been warned that it may take up to a week if there are widespread outages in our area.

I'm ready for spring... there has been entirely enough winter for this Georgia peach.

Take care everyone and stay warm

Wow and congrats to Mr. Keisha on winning a free cruise!

Who do you think he will take?



Tink, eating by candle light........oh my

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Holy heck! A free cruise!! Congrats!!

Looks like I might be travelling to Texas this April, which might mean no Florida trip this fall. But hey, maybe if I start saving up now, I can pull off 2 trips in one years.

What part of Texas? I'm in Dallas, so if you're headed there we'll definitely have to say hi at some point lol.

I got a raise at work, not much, only 18 cents, but hey, money is money.

lynne - ok I see the pending snowstorm today. we are supposed to be right on the edge and may get nothing.

Tink, eating by candle light........oh my

nwahaha, if he could take the dog instead of me he probably would.

I just have a touchpad which I rarely use since I got the iphone. somebody gave me a wireless keyboard. It works but still feels strange to me. Have you tried one with your ipod?

imo Tink it's only romantic if you can flip the lights on afterwards, good luck with the power = always my fear in a storm here since we live on mountain ridge and tend to lose power often.

thanks, oooh Texas sounds very interesting. Hard to wait to return to FL but if you can work out two trips a great idea. Would you be 'working' an AP?

Our furnace rebelled last night. Had to shut it off was making so much noise afraid the boiler would blow. Thank you to my new HVAC guy for hooking us up this morning! Guess i'll use the money I saved on cruise towards the new furnace, works for me.

keisha, lucky you. We seem to have a bullseye lately. Well, Noreasters tend to hug the coast, so we usually get hit hard by them. Everyone is on edge, as last week, it took almost to today for all to get power again, and they are saying heavy, wet snow and freezing rain, then more snow. Oh well. I could use another day off. And, congrats for the free cruise! That's fabulous.

Mac, glad you are getting a new computer.

Kogo, safe trip to Texas.

Tink, hope you get your power back soon, if not already. People in my area took a week to get it back.

I'm afraid I'll be in Houston. I suspect that's about a four hour drive, so probably not doable. We'll be there for about a week, I think, attending a wedding. I have a friend in Waco who is going to try to come visit, but even that's iffy and we've been talking online since 2004!!

And a raise is a raise, no matter what. Extra money is always welcome!!

No AP for me. My friend in Leesburg would have to be getting me discounts on tickets with hers!! But maybe. It's more about flight costs. It'll be 500 to go to Houston... and about 400 to go to Orlando! Yeesh!!

Glad things are fixed with the furnace at least. I'd hate to be caught without heat.

It is 41 degrees at my house.. thought we were inching towards spring.. but NOOOOO!!! We're supposed to get more snow this weekend.

I have mixed feelings on it. I don't mind the snow so much when I don't have to drive in it. But having to drag my behind to work every day doesn't make snow days all that enjoyable for me.

I'm ready for spring, I think.

Hubs got an Apple Air laptop (??) to use for school. It is so TINY! I was surprised that was what he chose, I figured he would get the regular sized laptop.

 

[schumigirl]

Vicki......hope the power is ok and you don`t have to live on sandwiches!!!

mac......enjoy that new puter.......getting it tomorrow?



Going to be a horrible night here......we are being pounded by very high winds with sleet and snow.......

Keeping a watch on a fence we have in the back garden........looks as if its ready to fall over ........and our smallest apple tree looks as if it may go as well

DS was driving home from uni when he saw a big flash in the hills, think one of the power substations has blown out!! Got the candles and torches ready in case our power goes out.

Least he got home safe as the roads are awash with fallen branches and black ice.

I`m with you Vicki......ready for spring

my lucky day.
data transfer was completed and i picked up new computer today.
comes with the smaller blue tooth keyboard and mouse.
i don't like the trackpads so didn't go with that.

yea, the keyboard can be used with the iPad so that is a good thing.


keisha, you don't have good luck....
furnace going out this time of year, oh my!

make a website for contributions of your cruise fund.
you won't believe how many peeps will toss you money.

hopefully, the new storm will miss youse.

when talking about lousy weather, 41 doesn't even hit the meter ......
half of us here would give our first born kids up for a temp of 41.

apple makes so many different computers.
everyone likes something different.
yesterday son bought the Macbook pro as the price was good.

the Macbook Air comes in 11 or 13 inch.
they are decent if you like how a tablet operates and are good for those that travel and want something light.

hope he enjoys it.

when i was driving back home today, heard on the radio that england is having horrible winds and gales.
they also mentioned that water is being pushed out of the rivers and near sections in London.
they mentioned this has not happened in years.
a 60 yo man was interviewed and he said he has never experienced weather like this before.

good that they boy made it home safely.
i would worry about anyone driving in the weather you are having now.

hide the car keys so he won't go out tonight.........

hope youse stay safe and the power doesn't go out.

yup picked up the new computer today.

I just picked up a new computer on Friday I got a Toshiba I couldn't beat the price it was only 279 now I just need to get used to windows 8

It was a truly awful night........but in saying that at least we`re not getting flooded the way they are down South from us.......it`s so sad to see all those people`s homes being ruined.

Our fence is still up....just......but more bad weather to come for us. Power stayed on also

Just seen NY`s weather on the news too...... Vicious storm!!!

Glad you`re happy with the new puter

We bought 2 Toshiba laptops a few years ago in Orlando, and they still work great. DS uses his for a lot of his uni work and prefers that to his mac air thingy.......for work that is....loves the Air thing for everything else though. We certainly would get another Toshiba if we wanted a laptop


Didn`t sleep much with the sounds of the howling wind last night......so just been very lazy and slept for 2 hours along the sofa........I love doing that sometimes

I'm loving it here. Life has been nothing but good since I got here.

I ran a Toshiba for years, still have it as a back up.

carole flying fence? sounds like something out of twister.

stoopid front shifted, more white stuff for us today.Looking forward to 50 degree weather next week!
