You learn something new everyday. Today, I learned that there is no M in wiper. Most of you probably knew this already. I on the other hand have spent the last 3 decades pronouncing windshield wiper, windshield wym per. I also say "wympe, down the table, or wympe your butt." Sadly Ive never been corrected by anyone. It took me writing notes in a past due account today (and 2 phone calls) to realize that there is no M in wiper.
As low as my IQ feels right now, I never say:
that's a whole nother story
or
that dudn't even matter
These are my two positives for today!

5 Insanely Tasty Sips
Just thought I would share 5 of my favorite liquids!
1. Kagome Purple Roots and Fruits Juice
2. Dave and Busters over under shot in Cherry Cheesecake
3. The Strawberry Daiquiri they sell in the Souvenir Eiffel Tower cup at Paris in Las Vegas
4. Dole Pear Juice
5. Taco Bell Mild Sauce (they should seriously can this stuff, and sell it in a machine)

Peeps and Their Log...
In my list of the 10 things that really annoy me, I mentioned the people who live down the block from me that dress up their log. After Valentines day, their log was dressed in traditional St. Patrick's Day garb. If you consider green shorts, green shirt, and some oversized 4-leaf clover sunglasses traditional garb. They then moved on to Easter, and adorned their oversized stick in Bunny ears, and a tail. (The tail was actually a whole bunch of grocery bags stuffed inside another, and then stapled to the backside ). All this, I understand. (sort of)
Today I am on my way home from work and as I approach the log, and I am absolutely dumbfounded. What holiday is coming up? May is springtime, June is the start of wedding season, July is Independence Day. Any of these costumes would have been acceptable, and somewhat understandable. I mean, a log wearing a white dress and a veil, wouldn't be that bad. Considering.
I will add a picture later. But let me try to describe this, I crest the hill, and there is this poor large limb of a felled tree wearing a flowing grass skirt and tall Dr. Suess hat. WTF!?!?!
Dr. Suess was born March 2nd 1904 in Springfield Mass. (not Hawaii)
August 21, 1959, Hawaii was admitted to the union as our 50th state. (I am almost positive that Dr. Suess had absolutely nothing do do with it.)
Hmmm..... I simply don't get it. I even Googled the hell out of Dr. Suess goes to Hawaii, nothing.
Maybe I should just let it go, or maybe I should walk up to this house, and ask the history of the log. Who knows maybe an old couple named Norm and Edna will sit me down and unlock the mysteries of the log.

The Case of the Disappearing Network Card...
I am having computer problems.
I have a two year old E machine. (I know your opinion, and I concur) When I lived in my old apartment, I bought network cards as much as I bought light bulbs. If I had the hair dryer and the air conditioner going, I would blow a network card. So, each morning, I had to power down my computer before drying my hair. Odd, I know. But, it was a fact of life and I was OK with it.
Now, since I am in the new house, I haven't worried about network cards. I can run the television, the microwave, the furnace, lights, and the hair dryer all at the same time without worrying about network cards.
Not so long ago, I was up late, checking bank balances, and bills, I powered down my computer and went to bed. I awoke 6 hours later, and powered up my computer, and lo and behold I can't get online. I run diagnostics and discover that I have no network card!?!
What could this mean? Did someone break into my house while I was sleeping and steal my network card? Did it evaporate while I wasn't looking? How does this happen?
Determined not to have to run out and buy a new network card, I wait a couple of days. Don't ask me why I wait, but in thinking back I had some pretty crazy notions.
Maybe my computer is pissed off about a site I went to, and I am just going to give it a couple of days to come to its senses.
Maybe the person who broke in and stole the network card will realize that without the whole computer its pretty worthless. Or maybe their conscious gets to them and they break back in and return it.
Maybe if I turn it on and off a couple of times a day, my computer will realize that the network card never left, it was just on hiatus for a couple of weeks.
You don't understand, without my computer I feel powerless. How will I pay my bills? How can I see who got fired from The Apprentice, before I watch the show. (I actually had to watch Tim get fired) Normally I would Tivo it, get online the next morning, and see who got canned, then I would watch the show in the evening to see what mistakes they made, as they were making them. (I read magazines back to front too).
Today my Parents visited for Easter, and my dad got me back online in about 6 seconds. My life is back in order. Now I have my groove back! At least until someone else decides they cannot afford a 15.00 piece of hardware and chooses my life to turn upside down.
