But it's your fault you see. You assumed just because she worked there she knew jack shit about what she was selling. Obviously she didn't know jack or any of his relatives.

Here's an idea to freak them out.

When the guys with cameras turn up be dressed so as to be obviously pregnant and tell them that you're Ob/Gyn is very concerned and needs good images straight away, and calling them was faster than calling the clinic...

I have irritation of the back door today.
You can read on if you like.











I finished off the corn bread that I accidentally made too spicy for my Mum to enjoy. It was a genuine mistake - I like it when she eats my cooking and a whole pan of cornbread is way too much for me. A whole pan of spicy cornbread is way too much for my system too. My bumhole is very tender, and I daren't fart. It's like Oxtail Soup I tell you. Except ouchier.

AND it's my special evening out tonight.
It won't spoil it of course, but I'd have been happier not having to worry about where all the toilets are.

Remember that cracked windshield?

I filed a claim on my insurance company's web site last night. Today they left a message asking me to call.

When I called the number, it was the company that coordinates auto glass replacements for my insurance company. They didn't have any record of a claim being submitted on my policy, and the woman who called and left a message did give a reference #.

OK, first off, it doesn't matter how I dress lately, I still look obviously pregnant. lol Secondly, they didn't make it yesterday, so hopefully today although I have an appointment to take my kids and their mates to a skate park this morning, so I hope it's in the arvo.

I'm really hungry and I don't get off work for a full hour! All I had for breakfast was a Granola bar, which isn't unusual, but I do usually wash it down with soy milk (I did end up switching jinx), and today I forgot my milk. In fact I forgot my breakfast entirely and wouldn't have had anything if it weren't for my reserve bar in my purse.
We do have a vending machine, but that just seems like such a waste, and I don't want to eat at my desk...blah blah blah whine.
"GRRR" says my tummy about it.

Oh and you-know-who is bugging me.

Wednesday:
Me: Hey, we're moving our spiffed-up web site to an off-site host. We need to redirect www.ourplace.edu to the hostingplace.com server. We're cutting over on Saturday. Can we schedule that?

Tech support at my ISP: Sorry, we don't schedule stuff like that in advance. Just call back on Saturday and give us an hour's notice.

Saturday:
Me: Hi, I need www.ourplace.edu to change over so it points to hostingplace.com.
ISP: OK, that's cool. I've written it all up in a ticket with excruciating thoroughness and read it back to you. You have verified that everything is correct and we both agree that this will be just fine after I submit the ticket and somebody takes care of it.

Couple hours later: I note voice mail on my cell phone. (Which is taken apart in an effort to dry it out from being dropped in water. Please don't ask.)
"Yeah, can you call us back? We got the ticket but we're kind of confused."

Me: [calls back] Hi, you said you had questions.
ISP: Yeah, it says, you want to change www.ourplace.edu.
Me: Yeah, we're replacing it with a CNAME.
ISP: So you want www.ourplace.edu to point to a CNAME?
Me: Yeah, that's right.
ISP: OK, I see here in the ticket where it says you want ourplace.edu to point to a CNAME. Where should it point?
Me: hostingplace.com. It should be in the ticket.
ISP: Oh yeah, there it is. OK. I'll take care of it.

30 mins later:
www.ourplace.edu has been redirected to hostingplace.com.ourplace.edu.



[For those of the IT geek persuasion, no, I don't run my own DNS server on site. It's never seemed like it was worth the trouble. But now . . . bleah.]

[LabRat]

I don't know what any of that meant, but I do want to hear about the moist cell phone .

My neck is killing me today. We did a 3 hour practice ride yesterday for our snowmobile trip in a few weeks. Who knew snowmobile helmets were that heavy??? I think I get why football players all have such thick necks...

[Cicero]

lol! Poor sleeve. I am sorry that the story is funny...Maybe we can laugh later?

Well, I was changing the filter in our humidifier, and I managed to let the phone fall out of my pocket into the water. I grabbed it out as quickly as possible and pulled the battery, but it's not working right. It boots up, but several of the buttons (including the "on/off"!) won't work. I spent some quality time using a shop vac on it last night, and I left it in a baggie with a packet of silica gel overnight. If it doesn't fix it I guess I'm going to disassemble it tonight and see what I can do.

[Cicero]

Hairdryer?

[SteveDallas]

My research indicates that the heat makes this a bad idea. (Then again, why should I believe what I read on the Internet?)

[HungLikeJesus]

Similar to the silica gel, I've heard that rice will do the same thing.

[Cicero]

My friend the other day spilled water all over his laptop....Immediately took a hairdryer to it, and powered it up....He did not even let it dry. I guess if you do it a certain way it helps. It powered right up after that and it worked fine. I was surprised that he hastily turned the thing on again, and I was surprised that it functioned as normal. It was a massive spill and despite my warnings about using a hairdryer and turning it on so quickly.....It worked like a charm. I couldn't believe it.

Of course I am not really recommending it...just a story.
