Today
Well first the computer store called and said that they couldn't put all my files to disk cause it'd just take too many disk. But if I took my new comp up there I could download everything. Well they said it would probably take about an hour. Well she kept trying to access her sever from my comp but for some reason my new comp wouldn't allow her to do that. Well she opened up the old one and my new one unplugged this and that and plugged in I'm guessing the memory box into the new system. Well it wouldn't work. Well I know nothing of computers so I'm just making due with what it appeared to be. Well she I hope plugged everything back in right then put it back together. Then I'm assuming it was an adaptor of some kind and she plugged it into the memory box and then it to a USB cable. It's a wire you usually use with scanners and then plugged that into the outside and said I could retrive anything I wanted from it. Well I did that once before. Just picked up bits and pieces from it and ended up forgetting a lot of things and not getting them back. So this time I just made a new folder and copied everything to it. Since it was 11:15 and we had luch with my sister at 11:30. I just told her I started the download and would be back later that we had a lunch date. Well we normally have lunch on Tuesday but since mom had to work for the first time in a long time it was delayed till today. My mom was whining about having to go back after lunch and asked why we were going back. I told her that it was to retrive the comp. Well I needed a USB cable for my new printer/scanner. So she was willing to sell me one for $10. Well then I couldn't get the scanner to working so I asked them to download it. I tried but apparently I was doing the wrong thing. But I was paying attention so next time, I wont have to pay them $20 bucks to do it! Well everytime my comp starts a folder called common shows up. Their minds were in the gutter cause they kept changing the subject and wouldn't listen when I asked how to get rid of it! The first time I asked, Oh sure let me get the scanner done and I'll get right on that. Well nit for brains wouldn't listen to me on how to get the scanner to work with my wallpaper making program, he said he wasn't familiar with it. I kept trying to tell him but he's oh well let's just wait it out it'll start working on its own. Well then another customer walks in and while he's talking to them I do what I tried to get him to do with the scanner. Well then it started to configure then scan. He comes back all proud of himself. Well see its working now! Like he was the one to get it working. Then proceded to try to tell me what my program was good for! I felt like saying I wouldn't have it on there if I didn't know what it's good for! Well then she was going to get him to wrap up the old system and put it back together and give it back. It's like I don't want it back! If I knew what to do with it to begin with I wouldn't have brought it here! So I told her I didn't want it back! I had no use for it. I felt like saying I got what I wanted out of it which was my data and I've got a new one so what do I need with that one. I told her she could keep it or trash it or whatever! She seemed absolutely thrilled! So instead of $30 for both the scanner software instalation and the USB cord. She said she'd basically trade me. I could have the USB cord since I was allowing her to keep my old system! I thought it was strange but wasn't about to argue. She gave me back my data for free and only charged for the scanner and trade a cord for a broken machine. I didn't think the old one would have been worth $10 but whatever!

Then we go to the grocery store. We've noticed the last time or two we went in there that the brand of mashed potatoes was only in baby boxes and no longer the big ones. We were miffed but were willing to live with it for now. Well I wanted more lollypops, my current obsession, but they only had 2 sacks left last time and none this time! So I'm almost out of the kind I like. Then my mom overheard the pharmacy tell someone that they were moving. Well this grocery store is just down the street from us. the only other one my moms still spooked of cause she saw my ex-stepfather there once and refuses to go back in case him or one of his friends. One of his sons works for a church and unlike my mom they don't know his sorded past and belive the lies he spreads. Ususally my mom tells me things like this but this time my sister knew but I didn't! Well When my stepfather got sick with cancer even though they had been divorced for over 10 years at the time the people she use to work for and most especially his children were pissed that my mother didn't go rushing back to him with 'Oh darling I heard you were sick with cancer. Here let me take you back home with me and care for you till you die!' In realuty my mom's I'm sorry he's sick and all but I don't have any plans to take him back! His sons spreads all kinds of nasty lies and some serious ones about her being sick. A couple of people she works for though are doctors and can tell if a person is sickly.

Sorry got off track there for a moment. Well anyway we just learned today that our grocery store is not moving but shutting down! Now there have been at least 2 other grocery stores we've seen the one mentioned above and another that were once one store then were out of buisness and then immediatly reoppened back up as the same a grocery store but under a different name! We've praying that that's what's going to happen. Though we're not holding our breaths.

Yesterday we got a notice that my mom now has to go to court and pay a fine because the bastards next door turned us in again saing our yard is unclean. Well now they've hit the limit of my mom's patieces. She called some lawyers she's been paying the servies of to keep them handy just in case. you never know. The way she was on the phone though reminded me a little of those credit cards cimmercials. Where you have to repeat the same information a dozen times to a dozen different people. She asked if there was anything that could be done to stop this harrassment. Well the first person said okay I'll send you to a lawyer. the lawyer says let me send you to my accociate whose smarter than me. Then after explaining everything to them all they finally only gave the answer of well I'll send you some paper work and we'll see what we can do from there. It was mostly cause we don't know the last name of anyone. the people who live there or the witch whom we assume is another relitive that does all of this!

Then I go out to feed my cats and after I think last count was 13-14 opossoms. I saw another one eating the catfood today! On top of that I have been working more on the comp and not taking a bath everyday like I sometimes do. If I don't wash it every day to everyother day it looks and feels terrible! Well I took one the other night and I didn't dry it. I havent been. Well Now I've ended up with a cold!

On the way to luch we came this close to getting into an accident. The turn lane though the light was green it says yield on green. Meaning if no ones comming your free to go otherwise don't move. Well apparenlty this guy didn't take that class cause he came this close to hitting us when he decided to turn. We had a green light and he had a green light but not a green turn signal!
