Saturday Morning....

Here's a picture of my lovely "hole in the ceiling" in my living room. See, I was not exagerating....






Another problem for us to take care of. I don't know whether hubby is going to fix it himself or have this guy do it. There is also a major crack going all the way from the top of the window across through the hole and almost to the other side. Besides all the other cracks here and there in the living room plus the dinette and the bedroom. Our foundation sucks. Whoever built this house built it on piers instead of a solid foundation and when the upstairs was added on, it is just too much weight I think. Plus, our whole neighborhood here has a high water table. Apparently there was a river or lake that was filled in and the sub built. So when the weather changes, there is a lot of shifting of the ground which produces cracks in everybody's houses. We've been dealing with cracks...fix and paint, fix and paint...for over 30 years, but I've never had my ceiling fall down! It's an old house...older than me, that's for sure and that's pretty damn old!!

And my computer sucks! I have viruses, I'm sure. It is so hard to do anything on it and it is incredibly sl-o-o-o-o-w-w-w-w-w. I have trouble even clicking on a website through google. Most of the time, it just sits there and then eventually takes me to some oddball website that has nothing to do with what I clicked on. And I get these error things and sometimes I get this thing telling me that windows detects a virus and then sends me to a website for me to download something to fix it...which I assume is a scam. But I do think my comp is filled with viruses at this point and is causing all the problems. I need to take it in somewhere or download a virus fixer-upper thing. I don't know.

I hate the computer anyway. About 4-5 years ago I had the same problem and I got rid of the whole thing. Disconnected my internet, shut it down and it sat there collecting dust for almost a year! I loved it. I loved not having this annoying time-consuming machine in my house. That's the one good thing about going to Caseville....no damn computer! Anyway, hubby retired and wanted it back on so I got back online. Everything was fine for awhile, but now it's doing the same thing and I hate it.

I am not one of those people who spend 10 hours a day on a computer, or who sit in front of their TV's with a computer on their lap. If I made a list of "things I could live without"....the f'ng computer would be #1! The only good thing I like about it is when I can't remember something, I know I can run upstairs and google it. Mainly that happens when I'm watching old movies or TV shows and can't remember names of actors with familiar faces. And the older I get, the more that is happening...haha. Sometimes I just want to see "whatever happened to..."...see if they are alive or dead, etc. That's the only good thing I like about my computer.

Facebook sucks....great if you're 16..."WOW, I HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS!!"..."See how popular I am!!", etc, etc, etc. I just don't understand the concept. But I'm on there anyway....guess it's the computer-thing to do...

Tonight I'm going out with a friend for drinks. We'll hit "The Draft" and stay til they kick us out...LOL
