More little things
My sister got me some soft, warm, fuzzy socks for my birthday.
I have many “slipper socks” in my warm and fuzzy drawer, but these just seems so much fuzzier and softer.
It puts a nice little smile on my face when i slip these little wonders on!
Please be neat…

I was in the rest room at work today and “my toilet” had piddle on it. Ewwww…
This is a very small building there can’t be more than 25 women that would use the rest room….
Sigh. Seriously? Piddle? Are we not all grownups?
My mind immediately started singing a little song my sister taught me -
If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat!
Free booze!

Sunday I managed to snag an invite to a Bombay Sapphire “evening”!
There were free drinks a flowing, ice sculptures, “mixologists”, a little bit of food – definitely not enough to sop up all that booze and a photo booth.
We aren’t too creative, but we got in anyway and produced the fun below!
Dead Duck
Sep 8
A woman brought a
very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid
her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and
listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and
said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed
away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," replied the vet.
"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I
mean you haven't done any testing on him
or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room.
He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever.
As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood
on his hind legs, put his front paws on the
examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom.
He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the
room.
A few minutes later he returned with a cat.
The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird
from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook
its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry,
but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a
dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and
produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill.
"$250?" she cried, "$250 just to tell me my duck is dead?"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just
taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with
the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $250."
Lawn Signs

I was out for a walk today at lunch and came across this neighborhood goodie!
Last last year hubby decided to try a little subversion to get the household on all mac machines. (He bought me a mac book for my birthday – better than a toaster oven i guess)
My main sticking point was/is quicken. The version for the mac is not the same and file must be “converted”.
So – hell no, i wont go!
Hubby decided he could solve that – so he also installed Parallels on my fancy new machine, and Windows XP. So i could be using my mac, but also running a mini windows world within it.
When I originally attempted to run windows kept crapping out and wouldn’t acknowledge that the version i had installed was valid. I didn’t have 3 hours to sit on the phone with India to sort it out, and when I did I never managed to have my code with me.
Finally I decided it was time – I was working from home for the afternoon – so i had everything i needed in place to get this done. And wouldn’t you know it – windows worked, register and ran as it should. Ok, yeah!
Next step – install quicken.
All holy hell breaks loose. I open quicken, restore my quicken file and it looks good. I close the file to make sure it all worked well – and BAM! Quicken crashes and can’t recover… I try this a couple more times, different files, new back ups, restores, open from a local directory, un-install, re-install, un-install Parallels, re-install Pallels, re-install Quicken… Nope. Sigh… “See sweetie, this is why I still have my dell”
Well that set him off, he was bound and determined to make this thing work so he could remove the offending PC from our network!
He found the following:
1> Uninstall Parallels Tools and install it again.
2> Disable the antivirus which you are using.
3> Now, insert your Quicken CD-ROM. If you are prompted to install Quicken, click No or Cancel.
4> Click the Start button and select Computer.
5> Right-click the CD-ROM drive that contains the Quicken program CD and select Explore.
6> Right-click the install.exe file and select Run as Administrator. (If you are using a downloaded version of Quicken, locate the Quicken download file and right-click this file, and select Run as Administrator) If you receive a warning about unauthorized access, click Allow.
7> If you are prompted for your Administrator password, enter the password. If you did not establish an Administrator password when you installed Windows Vista, click Continue.
8> Follow the on-screen prompts to install Quicken.
9> When prompted to update the program during the installation process, click Update Now to install the latest updates.
Important Note: If the installation appears to stall, do not cancel the installation or End Task using the Windows Task Manager. Installation may take up to 2 hours to complete depending on the amount of RAM installed and other system configuration settings.

And Damn skippy if it didn’t work!!
I found out the admin account had no password- so i had to fix that. Grumble. Also found out that there was no limit to the amount of times you could attempt to login if that password had never been set up! Nice security! Although good cause i didn’t have many other options!
It did not have an extended install delay. And it works a-ok!
I still have the DELL and i cringe every time i open Quicken – but so far so good!
Lyrics of the day!
