jvlgato Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 Tell her if she gets a mac you won't have to fix it. That is my main reason for wanting to get a Mac for her; but not sure that would help convince her, since it helps me, not her! Tell her you refuse to fix her computers problems unless it is Mac. If that doesn't work, remind her of all the scary viruses. That might be more convincing. Also thinking the multitouch is so much easier to use day to day. So what convinced your husband?
shellylh Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 So what convinced your husband? I told him he would be cooler. Seriously, he was tired of having a slow computer due to various programs you have to run like antivirus software, software to connect to the network at work, etc.
jvlgato Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 I told him he would be cooler. Now THAT might work! She is quickly arriving at mid-life crisis age (if women get that!) and I've been pointing out that whenever we go to a coffee shop or book store, all the cool young people seem to be carrying Macs now! Really, I think it'll probably sell itself. I told her to go to BB, then pick up, hold, and use the MBP and MBA, then do the same with any PC that's there. She's got to live with it, so it's her choice, but I think like me, she'll see that it just makes sense. As stated here previously, seeing and handling the MBA or MBP makes you just want one. Thanks for the help!
Grahame Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 Had the temporary crown replaced with the permanent one. Much less hassle and pain this time.

shellylh Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 and pizza! You are correct sir! stayed up for the past 2 days studying for a test that was supposed to be taken at 5pm today. i misread the date on the syllabus...test is actually on the 19th :facepalm: walked into class asking for the test. professor had no clue what i was talking about. he laughed and said i was losing my shit and that i should go home and sleep. which i am about to go do now. didnt have lunch. it wasn't nice. about to pick up a 5 guys burger on the way home. pretty sure that will be nice. Now you have 10 days to forget everything you have managed to cram into your brain.
postjack Posted November 9, 2010 Report Posted November 9, 2010 nah now you are ahead of the pack CJ! just study a little each day to stay fresh on the material.
crappyjones123 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 It's a dumb class that I only go to to take tests. Bleh. So tired icant even fall asleep. Watching deadliest roads on history channel. They talking about a road in India that my mom took every summer when she was working on her phd. She keeps yelling every 5 minutes saying omg we had tea at that very shop 30 years ago etc etc
morphsci Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Spent the whole afternoon doing telephone interviews and we're only half done. Whiskey and bitters is curing the mind-numbness.
postjack Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Spent the whole afternoon doing telephone interviews and we're only half done. have you considered subcontracting to Postjack International? We are available for a variety of client needs.
morphsci Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Hmm, sounds innovative. Let's do lunch.
Wmcmanus Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 The census lady showed up at my door tonight. Took maybe 10 minutes, so now I've done my civic duty and have been 'counted' in Cayman. Imagine the shocked look on her face when she got to the question, "How many radios do you have?" and I said, "Maybe 20." My interpretation was that "radio" meant any stereo system as perceived by the broader populous, so that would count all of my sources. I might have been overstating it a bit, but probably not that much. We were sitting out on the front porch, so I got up, opened the front door and said, "Take a peek at my headphones... the rest of the house is a lot like that, only it's speakers and such."
crappyjones123 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 I want to live in your house Wayne.
Augsburger Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Hmmmm, the last time I said "take a peek at my headphones" I got sued for sexual harassment. Just returned from a Finance Council meeting and I would like the West Coast Legal Team to advise me on the guidelines for "justifiable homicide" and if unsuccessful, can they get me paroled in time for RMAF 2011?
boomana Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Worked out at 6AM. Left my work shoes at home, so had to quickly drive back. When closing the front door, I actually pulled the door knob off, and couldn't get it back on, so it's kinda propped in, but the house isn't locked, and I'm a bit freaked since the door likes to open up on it's own from time to time. I have a lunch meeting and groups until 7:30 tonight, so can't even venture out to buy a new one. This sucks.
shellylh Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 That sucks, it would be very difficult for me to concentrate on other things knowing the door might open up at any point.
tyrion Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Vicki, you have the killer cat to watch over the place. I wouldn't worry. You may find a partially eaten body on the floor when you get home but at least your stuff will still be there.
jvlgato Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 What a drag! No friendly neighbors you can call, who happen to be retired and home all day, and also handy around the house? Or at least can check the house every now and then?
