Title: OT: Geek Alert Post by: Heid on December 22, 2005, 04:18:36 PM OK...so had a funny few days...
Good News - New job in February!!!, My Sister is doing really well and despite two more ops, her leg is a cm longer! Bad News - Arrrghhness! Bad bad News - Just nasty stuff. So, to deal with the rollercoaster of my life I did what every sensible person does... Spend money I don't have! Actually I do have it, just shouldn't use it..but, I could get run over by a double decker tomorrow couldn't I? Sooo ....This week's purchases: Wireless network .... check G3 card .... check 2 Wireless LAN USB's ..Check vodafone sim .... check Compaq Presario Laptop.. CHECK<g> Geeky laptop bag ... check Currently playing with two monitors - v strange, but quite fun, and also laid in bed last night checking email because I could, and made coffee whilst playing a STT, and it was a strange feeling wandering around the house with a lappy whist I knew I was online! Will this improve my playing? Nope, but I will be a lot comfier when I lose now!! Did it make me feel better? Nope, I just cared less about the crap stuff :-D Also it will keep me occupied during xmas, which was going to be a bit of a nasty one for me. So, here's to having fun, looking after number one, and throwing caution to the wind!

Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: tikay on December 23, 2005, 03:08:52 AM Bit of a WHOOSH fior Dingdell there methinks.
Foxy - COURSE I can cook, you'd be well surprised. I can even cook gravy. Decided to make a small concession to Christmas tonight, & popped into Tescos & got a turkey thing & some spuds. The turkey is "ready basted" as opposed, I guess, to ready not basted, whatever basted means. If nothing else, the cats adore turkey, so we are all set now. And the cat-sitter has bought 2 little christmas stockings, one for Charlie, one for Angell. Ahhhh.... Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: foxy_minx26 on December 23, 2005, 04:48:48 AM Foxy - COURSE I can cook, you'd be well surprised. I can even cook gravy. Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: byronkincaid on December 23, 2005, 10:47:23 AM Depending on who you believe between 5 and 36% of turkeys are infected with salmonella. Make sure you cook it properly Tikay, wouldn't want the cats feeling unwell :pop: ;merry christmas;
Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: tikay on December 23, 2005, 12:03:15 PM Byron,
The cats said "how very kind of that nice man". But I think they can cope with salmonella & those sorta things, summat to do with their immune system. Angell - the young, pure white one - has brought me a Christmas present every night for the last week or so - a dead mouse each night. Dunno where he is finding them, but they are big buggers, & he leaves them around the house in different hiding places as a surprise. He left one in a shoe yesterday, don't even THINK about how I found it. Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: TightEnd on December 23, 2005, 12:06:34 PM and what are you getting your cats for Christmas Tikay?
I hope you spoil them rotten Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: tikay on December 23, 2005, 12:09:30 PM I don't buy ANY Crimble presents for anyone, but the Cat-Sitter has bought them a Cat Christmas Stocking each, full of cat-goodies I shouldent wonder, thinks like CatNip. Catnip does THE strangest things to cats, & I don't really approve of it, it's cat dope I think, but once a year is OK I suppose.
But they get spoilt 24/7 when I am at home. Charlie has Fresh Cream every time I go to the fridge, they both have chicken breasts twice a week, Angell drinks a whole carton of Cat Milk every day, and they have salmon when I remember to buy it. Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: matt674 on December 23, 2005, 12:25:21 PM Catnip does THE strangest things to cats, & I don't really approve of it, it's cat dope I think, but once a year is OK I suppose. Yeah, normally mine won't play with cat toys only balls of rolled up tinfoil - unless....... sends mine doo-lally every time i treat them to a catnip toy, Another for Dingdell :) [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: OT: Geek Alert Post by: tikay on December 23, 2005, 12:28:20 PM Tabby - lovely! Tabby's are really weird things, affection or aggression, love or hate, want a fuss or don't want touching, all depending on the time of day & their mood. The cat equivelant of women I think.
