computers are your friends
I had the weirdest error message on Lexalous--I tried to play a word off another and it told me I had to start in the middle of the board! Then it wiped off all the words and letters that were on there.
My picture files are giving me a weird computer freeze up. Once the error box pops up, I am fine as long as I do not CLOSE the error message. If I close the error box, it closes down the entire folder.
I suspected it was due to the dvd burner, as it only started doing this after we had installed that, so I turned it off but it did not solve the problem. It is one of those "annoying but I can work around it" problems.
Lawn mower is having issues. I mowed the lawn in phases yesterday. Got the front done and started the back, then I needed a break. Went out later to finish the back, and the mower decided IT needed a break, so it ran out of gas. Then the cute guy filled it and I went out later again to finish up. I was not totally done when it just quit. Then I had a really PIA time trying to restart the stupid mower. My mower is officially one of those "annoying but I can work around it" problems. It has issues. To stop it -- to stop it ON PURPOSE, that is -- requires pulling the spark plug. To start it requires much pulling and tugging of the cord. It has several versions of jerryriggedness going on at the same time. Poor old lawn mower. It has lived a hard life. Yes, I really ought to replace it, but I have been saying that for at least five years now and it keeps limping along, promising me "just one more summer! I'll be good! I promise!"
My poinsettia is still alive, which is a new record for me. It even has some new baby leaves. My spider plant is still alive, but still teeny-tiny. I think it needs some more dirt. I want to get another replacement African Violet and a tiny blooming mini rose for my plant counter, but that might be pushing it. I have two LIVE plants there right now **insert shocked expression here** so it may be pushing it to rock the boat and add another plant to the mix.
