COMPUTER SURROUNDINGS WEEK…

Here is the updated version of my computer space and "RUPERT3".
I took it to show what a small little space I have. I literally sit in the
corner of the room and can touch my fingers to the wall and to the
edge of the bed that is in it,( from where I sit in my chair.)
I placed a board under the monitor to stablize it on this
table, because the train runs less than a block away.
I try to get all I can squeezed into that tiny space.
Everything has it’s place.
There was no room on the table for my printer
so I had to place it under the table on a sturdy stool.
When I want to use it I just pull it out. I use another table
to place my keyboard on. The table can be moved
easily back and forth and up and down to suit the person
using the keyboard.  The computer corner has been
set up like this over a year now. It sits in our guest
room and if company comes to visit.. no more time
on the computer for me.

Rain predicted for today and colder temps this
week too. We will be lucky to
see 60 the whole first week of April.
The white stuff is melting and almost
gone. Every single time it melts, we get
dumped on again.. I sure hope it stops that
cycle soon…

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT MONDAY!

SUNDAY Notes…

I changed some things here on the space again. I do hope
everyone is able to access it okay. If you have or had
trouble getting in or commenting let me know.
Seems getting into spaces was a challenge for me too.
I have been here at this an hour just to get signed in
here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Spacewalk Space has been updated.
I came across a wonderful space that I think
you will all like and should visit and check
out. A wonderful lady in Missouri writes it and
it is quite entertaining. Click the link above to
check it out. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is supposed to warm up by Monday here and I cannot
wait. 60 degrees is a heat wave and I wonder if it
really will feel like 60 or a cold 40. I guess I just long
for the warm breezes and that spring smell.
Tuesday starts the beginning of  STORM SEASON
here in Michigan. Tornadoes to be exact. I think
it may have to wait awhile to get there.. we haven’t even
had a good thunderstorm yet! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kat over to KATSOUP has reminded us that this is
COMPUTER SURROUNDINGS week again.
None of the old excuses..( oh it looks the same).. either..
so I have to see about getting my new picture together.
Maybe we should just come up with some clever
photos like she did. Hmmm my mind wanders…

 

This is what my computer monitor sees when it looks

at me!! LOL No I didn’t embroidery on the shirt!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY !

FROM MOI!!

I saw this card yesterday and just laughed and laughed

it reminded me sort of LILY TOMLIN

and her character who answered the switchboard

at the telephone company. OOO one ringy dingy….

..read what it says…. A NOTE FROM MOI

 Those are the kind of

glasses I wore when I was a kid. I think they called

them “cats eyes”. {Appropriate for me as my intials are

CAT.. I wish they were DOG cause I am really a DOG

person through and through.} ANYWAY.. the card

just got me to laughing. Pamida store closed their doors

today and took some of my money with them. I got quite

a few cards at 70% off and I was happy as all get out

to get them. I send most of mine on line now days because

they are so convenient and FREE!. The last card I sent was

to SUE who is recovering at home from her knee operation.

There really is nothing like receiving something in the mail

though. Something you hold in your hand is so personal.

I think if I opened a card with this woman’s mug on it..

I would just GASP! LOL..  Well now I know I won’t have to

worry when something comes up I will have plenty of

cards to go around. The price was really 3.69 and me

or MOI got it for 52 CENTS.. WHAT A DEAL!!!

 HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY!!

HAPPY SPRING.?

 

It is still white here..heavy, wet, white stuff… no matter what the calendar says…

At least the  temps are making it melt and I don’t have to shovel it!!!  

I have a feeling we will jump

right into SUMMER and our Spring will be about 2 weeks long!! What a year this is

turned out to be!

**********************************************************************************

The men did not come yesterday and board up the house like they were

supposed to. It was raining all day long and we figure they are in no hurry

to confront a ticked off SKUNK!! They cannot close the opening under the

house unless they know the SKUNK is GONE..sooo it may be a while yet,

before that happens. I can’t say I blame them at all.

**********************************************************************************

I finally received my cards for the converter box in the mail from the

GOVT. EVERY tv that does not have the new digital server will need

this new converter box. The rebate for the boxes come on little credit card-like cards with

numbers registered to your name. They DO HAVE an expiration date on them

too. They give you 90 days to use it..after that you are on your own.

Listed on the paper is the places where you can buy the boxes. They don’t tell you

how much they cost.I have heard as high as $90.So the consumer will pay $50

for the box out of their pocket.Watching your regular TV stations has just

went to a PAID thing now.. I never thought I would see that day!!

 

I was surprised to find out they are offered at many

of the retail stores too so they should be easy enough to get. I will be trying to

get mine soon so they don’t run out. Here is the number to call if you need

to order one 1-888-225-5322.  Here is alink to read about it.

 

 I think our house is the only one in about 6 whole blocks or

more that does not have cable or some other hook up.  Mom

refuses to go into the new century. She gets confused over

what is a commmercial and what isn’t. All the cable channels would

make her "crazy" she says. I tried to tell her it would be nice to

view some movie channels or watch ALL the nascar races. but she is

just set in her ways.. .

*******************************************************************************

 

THE SUN IS OUT .. for that I am grateful.. the sky is blue and it is

cold cold.. Gas went to 3.39 this week and maybe even higher since

I last checked. Our heating bill is sky high since it has been so

cold.. we sure could use the warmer weather to give us a break.

We don’t ever remember paying so much here in MARCH before.

Milk was on sale for 2.77 a galllon and boy were

people buying it.Normally it would be 3.79!!

Eggs were still 1.79 a dozen, bananas 59 a pound,

fruit was really high. An ORANGE was.79 each.. those are the

large ones from CA. Pretty to look at..that’s about all.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WEEKEND!!
