I wonder almost every day why the camera sees things differently than the human eye. Oh, I’ve read the explanations… but sometimes they just don’t cover the weirdness. Such as why the windows in this picture look white.
I know, it was focused on the umbrella.
There’s news from the garden! This thing, whatever it is, has chosen to bud!
I can’t wait to harvest the mystery fruit.
I’m supposing to be loading my new Windows 7 drive, named ‘Flicka’, but ran into a hangup. Whether it’s a glitch or bug is yet to be seen, but it seems fine now.
Just popped a Flintstones vitamin. Am I the only adult who indulges?
Anne Rice’s new novel ‘Angel Time’ is weird. And not in a good, vampire blood lust way. Loved her last two books but I keep thinking ‘why am I still reading this?’ Must be an answer in there somewhere…
Daisy has her own hangups; we know this. And almost a year of love and patience on hubby’s part hasn’t helped her phobia at all; she is still terrified of him to the point of attack. She did it again this weekend. He was putting on her harness so we could go for a walk, like he’d done a hundred times before, but this time she went nutso cuckoo on his ass.
I walked her while he took Bree. When we got back we watched some Dog Whisperer.
When this is resolved she’s going to be a much happier little dog… but the behavior cannot be allowed to continue.
Skype ceased working and I think it’s because I downloaded and tried that bastard software from oovoo. That stuff wound its tentacles around my machine like a monster kraken. Removing all of it required CCleaner and nerves of steel [which I don't possess, by the way].
Anyway, Skype still doesn’t see my SIL and she reports the same. Oh, yeah, I had her install oovoo as well so we could test it. Dammit.
Windows Live Messenger does a credible job, but she can’t hear me on her end. We tried oovoo because video on skype had ceased on my end… and the ironic part? Oovoo worked perfectly; I just couldn’t stand how it tried to take over my machine.
Yes, I *will* cut off my nose to spite my face, thanks.
Well, today is all about cleaning before the fucking loved ones* arrive. See ya!
News? What news? There’s nothing happening, is there? I need to go walk the dogs…
*Quick, which movie is that from?

that’s a papaya tree and it will fruit and fruit and fruit and fruit and fruit.
we have one, too!
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:12 pm
now I’m questioning my prediction. I need a full-plant shot to be sure. but it certainly resembles our papaya leaves.
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:35 pm
This is what it looks like… or did when it was planted!

White windows are cloud reflection?
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Mmmm… prolly not, but good guess!
SEE? I didn’t write about the attempted theft. Aren’t you proud of me?
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:00 pm
*slinks into a dark corner, recalling the oovoo recommendation*
Honestly, we’ve never had such difficulty with it…
Curious, were you using it with Win7 or Vista? Or with Win XP? All our network machines are strictly XP SP3 – I wonder if that has something to do with it. Works like a champ for us throughout our entire WAN. But then we’ve never tried it with Vista, and I’m the first to upgrade/install 7 – but haven’t reloaded ooVoo yet.
I’m so sorry, Pam!!
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:32 pm
No, please don’t be; it worked flawlessly! The problem was with me – I got pissy because it changed my browser start pages and installed toolbars without my consent. I’m so territorial! LOL!
So now I have no working video chat, having deleted it. I’m not the most logical person…

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
Heh… my name used to be McCracken… I went around saying that all the time.
(Clash of the Titans, yikes…)
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Release the Kraken!!!!!!
I love it!
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Theft? I have no idea what you are talking about – we will get your webcam back up
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Ach, no. Of course not. No plan to steal anything…
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Contact this guy and tell him you’re a friend of mine. Ask him if he can recommend a good animal behaviorist, preferably through an shelter in your area. He’s the real deal, and knows anyone who is anybody in the animal behavior world who might be able to help you. And he LOATHES the Dog Whisperer, who is really the DOG DOMINATOR. Let me know what happens, and if Steve doesn’t contact you, I’ll do a little butt-kicking from here.

In every other instance Cesar’s methods have worked for us, so we’re going to try this time. No reflection on your friend, Leslie, not at all!
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Those ‘buds’ look to be body snatcher pods…
November 24th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Thanks for bringing that up! Wondered what I’d have a nightmare about tonight…
November 24th, 2009 at 6:29 am
white windows reflecting the color of the house?
November 24th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Probably! White roof, white house… probably.
November 24th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
papaya. definitely papaya
November 24th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Thank you! I’ll remember what it is now. Promise.
November 26th, 2009 at 5:54 am
poor Arthur. And whatever’s going on with Daisy…I think you’ll nip it in the bud. At least I hope so before SHE nips someone in the bud.
Anything that attempts to install new toolbars and change your homepage is evil. CCleaner at least gives you the option to install or not install the Yahoo toolbar (I always say NO). And by the way, I’m so glad you use CCleaner too. oovoo, whatever that is (it sounds like something the she-devil rachel ray would use)…ditch it.
November 26th, 2009 at 6:14 am
Oovoo worked! I just didn’t care for the other bullshit…
But we uninstalled/reinstalled Skype and now everything is working fine… and we’re going to leave it the hell alone! LOL@
