    The appointment is made. April 19th.

    I get my first tattoo. :trippin: I've wanted to do this since I was about 23. Back then, it was all about shamrocks and claddagh. Over the years, my ideas have changed about what I wanted and for at least five years, I've been thinking about the same thing. A flower. I know, not very...

    building a home

    It is much more fun to fill a lot of space than to cram, isn't it? :D You also have more wall space to put up photos and art and stuff, right? Are you wall hanging kind of people? We put up our first piece last weekend (a small curio cabinet) and fucked it all up! :laugh: I spent this week...

    Good morning, good morning ! !

    Good morning all! I've been finding some surprise daffodils, crocus, and tulips sprouting in my lawn. First spring in this house - have no idea what I'm in for I guess! The black cherry tree was pruned severely just a few weeks ago so I don't know if I'm getting flowers this year. All the...

    What's yer speed?

    I signed up to be notified when it came to my old neighborhood and haven't heard anything in a year. The first time I checked, it said Congrats! Verizon is in your area. They meant DSL, not Fios and if I hadn't caught that who knows, I might have bought the wrong thing. Sneaky. Now, I hear...

    i rock at losing weight!

    I know dropping weight in my 20's was a lot easier than now, in my mid 30's. The whole metabolism thing does come into play and the fact that I no longer smoke like I did. Also, dedication over months and months to eat right and exercise is not easy to sustain. At least not for me. It does...

    i rock at losing weight!

    I broke my scale last month. :laugh: I have no idea how much I weigh now. But I feel great. I don't get a sore neck or sore back anymore, I'm able to exercise without my inhaler. I'm attempting to make a life change, not just a diet. I'm afraid if I make too drastic a change, too quick of...

    Well honey, you see...

    That such a thing exists, or that so much importance is placed solely in the monetary value of a rock, makes me nauseous sometimes.

    i need a kick in the @$$

    :laugh: To kickstart my exercise routine again, I went to a sporting goods store this weekend. Got new sneakers, new workout 3/4 pants and a workout shirt. I think the key for me is to workout enough to be sore the next day. Because the soreness feels good, like I accomplished something...

    so, i got this plant when i was born, right?

    I've always wanted to go to the Philly flower show. I was planning on going down for a weekend this year so I could finally tour the US Mint and hit the show. Completely forgot though. :eh: Do you have to feed your plant flies? I always wondered what happens to it if it doesn't get bugs...

    anyone ever worked as a house cleaner?

    I did it once. Just once. That's all it took to realize it was not my cup o tea.

    so, i got this plant when i was born, right?

    You're absolutely right. My orchids need care every morning so I tend not to forget about all the other houseplants I have. :) If you ever want to branch out and want a great all-around book for outside gardening too, "The Complete Garden Flower Book" is a great one. I've been using it for...

    What hard drives do you swear by these days?

    I just checked on some previous orders I made on 2/27 because I got everything except for two items that shipped seperately. Called on 3/10 and was told they were shipped but no tracking number. Called yesterday, was told the same thing but I'd have tracking numbers by day end yesterday. Got...

    What hard drives do you swear by these days?

    Isn't that a shame? My 10gb Maxtor that I've had since I built the computer just died last year. Actually, that computer led me to HWC for instructions on how to build it, then to JJR512, then OTC/Xi. So I've had that drive for 7 years now. My boss laughed at me, that I would keep a 10gb...

    Eliza's Dad died.

    :( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/13/world/europe/13weizenbaum.html?_r=1&oref=slogin Do you guys remember Eliza? "She" is what started my fascination with computers. I talked to her all the time as a kid. I did a list of the program so I could see all her programmed responses and then I...

    Still incomplete

    SNP, relax sweets! :hug: I was casually stating how I feel, not looking for a big debate on the impact of KISS. :lol: I'm telling you what KISS means to me, which is apparently quite a lot less than you. I'm not arguing that ugly people don't matter. That's absurd. Seriously, I can't...

    What hard drives do you swear by these days?

    Just bought this: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262 My next project is figuring out how many watts my servers draw so I can get a suitable UPS. I wish there was an easy way to figure that out. Is there?

    What hard drives do you swear by these days?

    That would explain why the Maxtor name is harder to come by. Now that you mention it, I seem to remember that from a few years ago. I always heard good things about the WD's but I'm getting tired of replacing these drives.

    What hard drives do you swear by these days?

    I've always been a Maxtor fan but there isn't much to choose from on NewEgg. I need a couple of drives to replace (2) 250gb SATA 3.0Gb/s Western Digitals that are failing on me just about every six months. I found this Seagate...
