I'm going to be looking at laptop computers. Anyone have any words of wisdom to part with?

Acers or Gateways are your best bet. I had been using a Dell for a couple years until it just crapped out on me this afternoon and won't let me back on the desktop again. I've had the Acer (the one I'm on now) for like 4 years now and the only problems I've had with it is the power adapter. Of course, the power adapter gets the worse abuse than the laptop itself. Acers are more for doing documents and stuff, whereas Apple computers are more for people who like to goof around with graphics. Since I'm not into the graphics of computer technology, and you probably ain't either, Kitty, but it sounds like an Acer might be one of your top choices. I don't mind HP either, hasn't been as trouble some as the dell.

Anyway, another warm day today, though I wasn't able to be outside because I was so busy going laundry, vacuuming, dusting, doing dishes, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, and starting on a couple assignments due for Monday. Plus trying to figger out what the hell was going on with my ruddy Dell laptop.

Anyway, at least a good hockey game's on tonight.

Thanks WRB. I am looking at the HP or Compaq but, I will keep the Acers in mind. I had never heard of them until I started looking at the lap tops so I wasn't sure on them. Good to know I have another choice!

My desk top is a Dell. It's okay but, I won't get another one. I like my old Compaq better only it had Windows 98 on it.

Good luck figuring out your screwy one and hope you don't have info on it that you didn't backup so you can get to it.

Thunder had a heifer calf tonight. I will take and post pics tomorrow if she makes it. She is really having a hard time with her breathing.

All right Kitty, I know it's your bed time.
But, what do you mean by hard time breathing?
What causes it?

It was past bedtime!

Apparently, she had trouble coming into the world. Her head was swollen some and there was even a blueish tinge to her skin. She was having trouble coughing up the fluid in her lungs. We had drapped her over a bar in the barn to help drain them and then gave her to mom to lick. And was Thunder ever licking her!

We had been gone for the evening and DH stopped by the barn on the way in. She wasn't born yet but, it seemed there was trouble. We came to the house changed and went back out. She was laying on the walkway not breathing. I'll see in a minute how she is this morning.

Huricane is doing fine. Pics on my calf thread.

Good morning
In this mornings chapter of heifer checking, we have SNOW?
Not those light fluffy flakes that gently float to the ground, heck no!
It's those big wet globs that find their way into your collar and melt all the way down your backside or pile up on the cold gate you have to crawl over! That would not have been to bad if I hadn't forgotten my gloves!
No calf, of course!

Kitty,
A BIG congrats on that one! I'm so glad she doing good, she is a pretty one!
I didn't even think of the fluid when you said breathing problems!(DUH)

Good morning,

I've gotten a mixed bag of news this morning.

One of my aunt's had her gallbladder removed last week. They found a rare form of cancer. I found this out yesterday and made a couple calls to let some of the family here know. Then one of my other uncles was able to get ahold of the uncle with the aunt and found out the good news. The cancer seems to have been contained in the gall bladder. They will monitor her to make sure it doesn't come back but, everything looks good at this point.

The other news is, my uncle out in Idaho killed himself yesterday afternoon. He had major health issues and wasn't even able to come home when Grandpa died because of them. I guess he's been depressed pretty bad lately too. It's propably a blessing for him as he's now in a better place. I'm fine.
