When I go to view my blog it cuts off the bottom and my browser says "done but with errors on page" It cuts off the whole bottom of my blog, so I can't read comments. :( I'm going to make this a short one so it will fit on one page, I hope. Please let me know if its just me. Thanks. I may give my firefox a whirl and see if it works there. ;)
Firefox works great. No error message. I have to use IE for my online classes.Thats the only reason I quit using Firefox. I will figure something out. ;)

Buried under a mountain of homework....
Holy crap. I have about 6 days worth of work and its due Monday. I sure don't have time to be here, but I need to relax for a few minutes. I put in my Vivaldi Cd and it seems to be working. I can feel some of the stress running down and pooling around my ankles. Ahhhhhhhhh
I went to the company dr. today. My attorney told me how important it was for me to stress the type of jobs I was doing to cause the carpal tunnel. I did that the first time. I felt intimidated today. Not because of anything he said or did, but all I could think of was that he thought I lied. I know they say you can tell when someone lies by the body language, but thats not always true. I am so (insert appropriate word here, just don't tell me what it is.) that if someone accuses me of something, I feel guilty and act guilty. I think sometimes maybe I flipped out and actually did what they accuse me of. I am the most honest person I know. I used to lie when I was a kid, but it was too hard to keep track. When I would get caught there was a price to pay and it was too steep. After telling the truth for awhile, I found out it is so much easier. A lot less work. People with bad memories should never lie. My son tries, but gets caught. He is upset with me now cos he keeps making promises to me he won't keep. I told him I can't believe anything he tells me, so there are consequences. He didn't bring his homework home last night, and told me he turned it in. I found his folder and the same thing was in it that was there the night before. I made him write sentences out of all 15 words instead of 10, and he got no tv for the whole evening. He cried when he went to bed cos he didn't get any tv. Today when he got home, he did his work, then he watched a short DVD then turned off the tv. I was shocked. :D
This new computer is great. I love the DVD player on it. I haven't burned a cd yet though, and I don't have any DVD's yet. There isn't anything on here that would fill up that much space anyway yet.
Back to the dr. visit. I called my attorney when I got home cos he wanted me to. Luckily he was out of the office so I left him a voice mail. I really dropped the ball on this one. I told him I felt too intimidated and didn't speak up for myself like I should have. The dr. didn't even know why they had sent me back there anyway. I told him they told me to come, so I did. He thinks I will get complete movement back in my hands. They are still tender for now, and I found out I have to clap like a real priss. The scars are real tender still. I have to keep rubbing them out so it will look and feel more normal. If the dr. says its still not work related, I probably won't get a settlement. All because I don't have the guts to speak up for myself. They make me feel like I am trying to scam money from the company and I'm not. But then I feel quilty. I have no idea why. I am always like this. I think I need to get a life. Oh, wait a minute, I am TOO BUSY for one.
I best get back to the books. God Bless, and keep me and mine in your prayers.

YeeeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwww
Well, its here. :D It is soooooooooo much faster than my old computer. (Thats why I can put so many vowels in the title. ;) ) The UPS guy got here at 4:00. I waited all day, and he gets here at 4. :( I had to pick the kid up at 5, so it didn't give me much time. I had it set up and turned on. I was playing a game of spider on it just to see how it moved. Pretty good for 45 minutes from box to desk to game. LOL
I got it online after we got back and wow. The connection isn't any faster of course, but this baby can fly. I am getting it more and more to be my own. Yahoo messenger was the first thing. B'f would think I was up to something if that wasn't a priority.
When I would click a button on the other computer, it was sooo slow. It was trying to decide if I really meant it or not I think. This one almost does it before I click. I wasn't sure if I was going to have trouble with the printer or scanner but I bit the bullet and got my paperwork out on the printer. I got everything set up, the disk in the drive, hooked up the usb cable, sat down to go through the screens like the paper said, and a note popped up and said new hardware was found and installed. Of course, being a skeptic I had to try it. OH MY It is beautiful. I had the printer on parallel port on my old one, but tried the 2.0 usb cable on this one. Amazing. Of course, it didn't detect the scanner. Probably a driver issue. It will have to wait.
I have ton o homework again. Another outline and quiz due Monday for business. There may not be a quiz cos there is a test for chapter 1-4. I'm not going to look. I don't really want to know. I have 2 quizzes Monday for my classes on campus, and one wants us to do an online quiz too. For both classes we have to read the next chapter and answer the questions. I swear in these textbooks they don't believe in anything less than 30 pages with ultra tiny print. :( I know where my weekend will be spent. Plus my other 2 classes have work due Sunday and Tuesday. I sure wish I didn't have to waste my time tomorrow going to the dr. Its an hour drive one way, and no telling how long I will have to wait once I get there. I am going to take a book for sure.
I need to get to bed. I am beat. I got the calendar back on the computer. I missed that a lot. I got roboform back, and a new weather thingie. Its 29ยบ right now. :D
Kiss the family, count your blessings, and God Bless

Getting cranky....
I typed a nice entry in my blog today about waiting for my new computer which should be here any minute. I am getting cranky. After I submitted the blog, it went to an error message about page not being able to be displayed. Grrrrrrrrrrrr
I then called customer service about the sump pump I had bought. I complained about no instructions, and he said that the stores they sell to are do-it-yourselfer stores so everybody that needs one pretty much is smart enough to figure it out. I hate being called a dumbass. He said everything I need to know is on the box. Well, on the box is shows a pump sitting on the basement floor pumping water out of the basement. Gee, thats why I bought it. THEN DON'T PUT THE FREAKIN PICTURE ON THE BOX IF IT WASN'T MEANT TO PUMP OUT THE BASEMENT BY SITTING ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!! He said I should have bought a different kind. I was thinking "yeah, from a different company, with information actually included!" If I would have known the water had to get a foot deep for the pump to work, I wouldn't have bought it. I even opened the box in the store to see if it said anything, and it didn't. The only paper was a warranty. I checked the website when I got home, and the instructions were N/A for my model. Figures. If the water gets that deep, it would probably fry my furnace. I disconnected the float so I can plug it in when I need it on, and unplug it when it doesn't need to run. He was like "thats not a real good idea" . Well, its either risk burning the pump up or the furnace. I would rather sacrifice the stupid pump. Next time it looks like Home Depot will get my business. He said what disturbed him was that the employee that helped me knew nothing about them either. I personally don't think they should have to know everything they deal with. They should just have to deal with reputable companies that put information in the box. What harm would come from writing a little instruction for it? It shouldn't take very much if every dumbass in America knows how to use it except for me. I guess this way they don't have to honor the warranty since it says the instructions have to be abided by for the warranty to be valid. They stink. There. I guess that told them. (I am sooooooooo mean!) I am never buying a pump from STAR WATER SYSTEMS again. <---shameless antiplug (if thats a word)
I have to go to the dr. on Thursday for the carpal tunnel thing. Again. Same dr. I saw last time. I don't understand why I need to go, but the attorney thinks I should, so therefore, I will go. Cuts down on homework time, which I need to be getting back to. I just had to let off some steam about the STUPID star water system company.
Back to my outline in Intro to Business. (btw, I got 100% on my quiz in network yesterday, but I had to guess on 2 of them, and I got 100% on my computer logic homework. YAY!!!!!) Ok, back to the grindstone. :(

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Baby its cold outside! We didn't even go outside today. Its been snowing and blowing all day. I woke up at 4 am and it was fine, but went back to bed at 5 and when I got up at 7 it was coming down pretty good. B'f didn't come over today, which was fine with me. I got some more homework done, and me and the kid even played a few games. I watched Blackbeard's Ghost with him. I like that movie. We played Uno, and Guess Who. I made chili today. It was a nice calm day. I got all my network class stuff put on one page and printed out so it will be easier to study. Poor kid. While we were watching the movie I was going over them in my head. I have so much to memorize.
The computer was shipped on the 20th. :) I checked on the site, and with the tracking number they said the recieving date has been rescheduled to the 25th. I have no idea why. I got the 2 day shipping on it, so I thought it would be here Monday. It still might be. I was going to check the site again in the morning, and then again Monday morning before class. I already told my parents I am expecting it Monday and am going to leave notes on the doors to take it to their house if there is no answer. I can't wait! I am so excited! I hope it comes Monday cos I will be home all day Tuesday. Its going to take me a bit to get it to where I want it, with all my bells and whistles. I know from my old one what I don't want, and what I do want on it. At least that one was a great learner for me. The bigger monitor is going to be great. I wish I could have got the flat panel, but they are a little too pricey. I can go with the big honkin monitor. Not a problem. :) I am way too easy I think. :)
Well, time to get the warm comfy jammies on, and hit the sack. I am tired. Too much homework has numbed my brain. God Bless.

It's on its way
I just checked on my new computer. Its at testing right now, and they should ship it by Tuesday. Which means I should get it by Thursday. YAY!!!!!! I am a teeny bit excited. <----------((((trying to act nonchalant and cool). Today was my first no pop day. I even went for a drive and didn't stop and get a drink. :) I had about 4 cups of coffee so I don't go through withdrawals, but maybe I can start weaning myself down there too. I am hoping I can sleep better. I was up most of the night. At 4 am I was playing gamecube. I have soooooooo much homework, but my eyes hurt enough that I wouldn't be able to concentrate on it, but who cares if my dragon dies a few extra times. LOL I got my Sunday homework done. On to the next outline for business class. I worked on trying to memorize acronyms all the way to town and back. I finally got a few of them down. There are TONS but I am concentrating on the ones he said were most important. I have to learn the OSI model layers, numbers and functions for the quiz Monday too. It sounds awful when I type it like that. Then, my computer logic class is due Tuesday, but it doesn't look too bad. A lot of reading.
Well, it's going to be a short one tonight. I need to get my beauty rest so I can feel refreshed and awake in the morning.
Say your prayers, and let someone know you care. God Bless.

May it rest in peace.....
Well, I called the computer guy. He has never seen a computer act like mine is acting. I could hear taps playing in the background I think. He was giving me the "it had a long happy life, and I am shocked it worked at all with all the crap you have on it. Ok, he didn't say crap, he has too much class for that. He used the term "programs" Such a gentleman. I like gadgets. Especially free ones. He is going to play with it a few more days and see what he can figure out. I need something dependable for school, so........I ORDERED ME A NEW DELL TONIGHT!!!!!!!! I don't know whether to laugh of cry. I got a great deal, so thats a good thing. I don't get my grant till next month so thats a bad thing. I have never had a new computer, so thats a good thing. I can't afford it, so thats a bad thing. Its got DVD, Windows Xp, and other assorted goodies I have been wanting, so thats a good thing. My dad, who hates when I spend a dime even suggested it. My b'f said GREAT when I told him, and Sue emailed back an "its about time you did something for yourself, you deserve it" speech. Crap. The money thing though.... Oh well, you can't take it with you. It sure would be nice to have some to get you through this life though. I should have it by the end of next week, I hope hope hope hope hope. I am just a teensy bit excited. :))))))))) (me with all my chins. LOL)
I am giving up pop as a necessity and only using it as a treat. I finally took the plunge. I almost stopped at the store today, but toughed it out. Water is on the agenda now. I will still have coffee so I don't get the caffiene withdrawal headaches. Those are the worst. I bet I could save enough money in a year on pop to pay for the new computer.... ok, well maybe not. (trying to validate my decision. I will think of something to make me feel guilt free, at least on occasion)
Off to bed for me, so I can dream about watching DVD's on my bigger monitor. Ain't technology great????
Kiss the babies. God Bless.
