I can't believe someone already took "Smacky."

The fan on my computer is turning on a lot. I think I'll shut down for a while. As soon as Norton quits running.

I couldn't tell you for sure, but I don't think that's ever going to be a problem.

So, did the fan calm down?

I've only had it back on five minutes; so far, so good.

Mine does this weird thing- if it blue screens, when I hold down the power button to reboot, the fan ramps up to max speed before it shuts off. Goofy Dell also does this weird up and down fan thing. I should just replace the fan.

Well, that's scary. That's worse than You have performed an illegal operation.

Yeah, it's never good.

soooo guess who's been called in to work a shift at 4:30 AM tomorrow, when he was already scheduled to work at 4:30 PM? when it's supposed to snow potentially 4 inches in the afternoon/evening? oh yeah, double shift. at least i'm going to get off early for the early shift, and go in late for the late shift now... too bad I only get overtime if I work more than 80 hours in a 2 week period...

g'nite!

Are you keeping your grades up with all this extra work going on?

At least it's a bit more descriptive of Mac errors:

He can actually make them all on his own now with no help, including opening and straining the blueberries. He even cleans up...after you call him back downstairs to remind him.

Hi daj!!!

Oh shoot... Cloverfield is playing. Gotta go tomorrow, if the fam will let me!

Awesome! Family went to the Zoo (Philly)- it was almost empty so we got to get up close and personal with the Amur tigers and I even parlayed my faculty job as a biologist (with some begging) and got to go help feed the lemurs (kinda- got to put a bucket into the enclosure and chatted up one of the keepers)! My oldest loved the otters (they followed his hand on the glass so he spent the whole time running back and forth!

Was a hoot!

Spooky monster movie by the guy that's doing Lost and the new Star Trek movie (JJ Abrams). It's been having viral advertising on various bogus websites for the last two to three months... like Slusho

Sounds like a fun day. Mine was boring. Hairs cut (and son's), took his car to the shop (cracked radiator), eat at Red Robin, Walmart, home, bank, ordered new glasses, home, nap, TV, now here.

What kind of burger did you get? Mmmmmmm.

Cracked radiator? That's not good.

Getting lost using a GPS? I can do that without one...

Never ate at a Red Robin (not around here), but I think they're like Johnny Rockets, right?

daj59 wrote:Terayki Chicken Burger. Love them.

Yeah, coolant kept disappearing. His dad tried the stuff you pour in that will hopefully seal any problems.... it didn't. So he arranged to get it fixed, we just dropped it off.

Scenic route, huh?

I love their mushroom Swiss burgers. More mushrooms than I've ever seen on a burger anywhere else. Only problem, I only go there in the summer when I can sit outside. Inside is super noisy and the service is unbelievably bad.

I don't think so. Bottomless fries.

pooflady wrote:I don't think so. Bottomless fries.

Wow... no, I guess they're not. Just checked their website, and they are WAY more fancy than Rockets. And the nearest one to me is 30 miles away in Delaware.

daj59 wrote:We usually have pretty good service. Today's was great even though it was a crowded late lunch crowd.

I've probably eaten inside five or six times and abysmal service each time. And yet, on the patio, terrific service.

Your kids would like it.

Bet they would. Especially the bottomless steak fries! I'll have to keep that in mind next time we're down In Wilmington to visit the outlet malls... The Rajin Cajun chicken burger looks very tasty.

Husband and one son always get the Whiskey River BBQ burger. Their milkshakes are fantastic. They come in the old fashioned silver container. Makes about two big glasses full.
