We're home from our anniversary dinner. My parents were here babysitting. My Tivo has the following recorded: UFC Unleashed; TORC: The Off Road Champion; NASCAR Raceday.
I think my dad got a little happy pushing buttons on my remote.
I was liking it initially up until the problems started. It was a few days in before it became problematic.
Tell me how. H upgraded and is doing fine although he's irritated about some of the privacy issues. I actually knew about those, which is why I haven't upgraded yet.

It was mostly related to the network adaptor. It just disconnected at random. Sometimes you could troubleshoot and reconnect. Other times I had to spend an hour googling around on my backup machine for other solutions. Even if I found a resolution, it wouldn't stick, and the same resolutions didn't necessarily even work more than once. I was looking at forums and articles everywhere on this. To make it worse, I was past the time where I could reverse back to 8, and from what I was reading even if you did the problem came back to 8 with you in many cases.
I am always late to upgrade shit, and the ONE TIME I went against my better judgment..... *grumbles*
My friends are having mixed reviews on it as well, but they all love it and weren't having my issues. I had a perfectly good laptop until I decided to upgrade!

We're having a bunch of insulation blown into our attic to make it up to current standards. It's hard spending money on improvements you can't actually see, but it makes SUCH a difference.

josieposy we're going to Back to the Future in the theater on 10/21. I'm really excited but a bit worried MH will fall asleep. It's one of his favorite nap movies!
We're going to see Goonies this Wednesday at the same theater.
Whyyyyyyy is it still so hot? 86 at 4:00 in a Colorado September is not ok. Tomorrow's forecast is 90.
Is it really 90 today? I haven't been outside yet. It's football (!!) so I think it's fall and I'm wearing flannel. I might be in for a shock later - lol.

Can I ask how much? We desperately need this done. It's on the short list, but I've been too lazy to get an estimate.

Want to pm me the sq footage of your attic space? DH has contacts in the business still, so he got it at cost. He could probably spitball an estimate for you, though.

This was the weekend around my town -- I suppose because school is back in session -- that the teams start begging for money with cans at intersections. I hate this with the heat of a thousand suns. These are the same kids whose moms who will be all, "Don't give that hobo money, he'll just spend it on booze" teaching their children to panhandle in both directions at every red light in town. For a while I was all, "I just gave at that light back there" but eventually I got to [/]"Nope."[/i]
I hate that the town even allows it. They put a big Stop sign kiosky-kind-of-thing in the center of big intersections, and the kids don't even walk to the side of the road when the light turns green, they were just standing there on the double yellow line. There were even kids with cans on the FAR side of the intersection, so after you go through the green light, you're supposed to stop and give the kid money. No.

I will, thanks! I'll ask DH when he wakes from his nap. I'm sure he knows off the top of his head.

When we blew in the area above our vaulted living room (that's right, it had NO insulation, none), we bought the material and that included the blower rental. DH says it was like $200.

I have a goddamn fever again. I'm taking tomorrow off cuz DD doesn't have school and we were going to do stuff and be productive. Yet another day off wasted by illness.
One of two assignments for next week done. The easy one, natch, but it's due tomorrow. The not as easy is due on Wednesday but I pray I have the fortitude to get at least a draft done tonight.
