lmao Jelly, you are so right! Everytime I get a computer, I get the three year extended warranty. Well, the past three computers have ended up with fried hard drives within a month after the warrany expired. This computer that I'm on right now went poof just THREE days after the warranty expired. Luckily, the manager at Best Buy felt sorry for me and they replaced the hard drive for free. lol Nice manager! It made me feel better about spending so much money there. xD

I have also experienced the same thing with my car. When I first bought it, it had a three year/36,000 mile warrany. Well, three years and two months after I had the car...BAM!...blown head gasket and a huge bill. I was not happy. And this phenomenon has happened with a few other items. It's all very strange I'd say. :shock:

*whispers so the computers don't hear me* I have not had problems with either of the computers I have thus far. My home computer has been happily ticking along since 2000. It is a little obsolete as far as hardware and speed but it works well for the stuff I do on it and the kids use it to surf the internet. Now if I could get the oldest to stop downloading crap :D

Now the car on the other hand... got it paid off I think in 2006. Shortly after it decided that the check engine light was going to go on and it was going to leak oil. We don't know where it is coming from either. In addition, the check engine light doesn't always stay on. Sometimes it goes off for no apparent reason. I think it just likes to screw with me :evil:

WOW, no posts in here today!!! Well let's change that right now.

I agree Jelly. I just didn't care for it.

Zantarni has potential, I think, but the times I've logged in and have really tried to participate, the community of it never really grabbed me. I popped on back when it was pretty new, but didn't find the reception nearly as friendly as that of Mene when I joined. So I've never really been hooked on it.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you proud moms!!!!! :D

Happy Mom's Day to all the mothers out there. {{hugs}}

*popping through*

I've been keeping up with the thread every day or two, but haven't been logging in because like Gaia, I can read it without being logged in.

It's been 3 1/2 weeks and I'm still down here in Albuquerque waiting for Amber to get the hang of her bottle feedings and finish them all so we can go home. Jade's birthday is in a little over a week, and I hope I'm not still down here and miss it! I wanted to send her to school with chocolate cupcakes with mini oreos and cream cheese hidden in the middle, from a new recipe in one of my recipe magazines. I haven't made cupcakes before, but it looks easy enough! I also wanted us all to go to my parents' house on her actual birthday (May 21) and have ice-cream cake with my parents, sister, and her husband and daughter, and have a small party there because we divided up the gifts we bought her so she could open half of them down here last weekend for her big party with her 17 cousins, and then the other half back home with her 1 cousin on my side of the family. Pretty unbalanced, her cousins are, eh?

Ok, I'm officially not linking Vista. I keep getting error messages saying I have low memory when hardly anything is running. I cannot reinstall my favorites in IE. I had to go into the help menu to find the run command. It's just all so different. The neopets toolbar doesn't work in IE so I don't get any Tarla or email alerts. I'm just ready to pull my hair out.

Ok, end rant.

You know, it's funny. You think Mother's Day means Mom gets pampered, right? Well, then how'd I manage to end up making two really time consuming things today - lasagna and apple pie, both entirely from scratch. I mean, it was totally worth it, but it struck me as funny that I worked more today than I normally do! I also pulled weeds, went to the store, did dishes, etc. But tonight while the lasagna was baking, we pulled out the little kiddie pool and filled it with water and the 3 of us went and sat in it. The baby thought it was really cold at first, but it wasn't long before she was giggling and splashing. It was just a really nice day even with me doing a lot of stuff!

I didn't get pamper either i had to work and then when i had TO GO HOME I GOT LOCKED IN THE STORE! Steve the dumbass broke the bar that lets you unlock the door from inside.

i wish someone told me. i did ok it was normal for me like all my Sundays. we atr going for chines food tomorrow cuz i had to work and i am off tomorrow mainly for my teeth.

Hi all,

Hope everyone who is a mommy or who went to see their moms had a very nice day to day. I did laundry and generally puttered on the computer for the day. I picked up a game for the Game Cube last night which my daughter thought was going to be just stupid but now she can't stop playing it. It is some game where you have to control troops and squish opposing troops with a pinball. It's very funny actually and completely in Japanese so we have no idea what they are saying.

I love Chinese food. I can eat that stuff every single day. My dad makes steaks for us and they were goood. :)

Good morning everyone.

I went to my parent's house yesterday and took my mom out to dinner. I actually ended up staying the night because when I went o go home I discovered that both of my headlights had burnt out and no stores were open. I have to replace them after work today. :evil:

Jess and I went to Mom's and Jess cooked dinner for her. It was a really nice time.
