ADHD Weekly Med(itation)s: 5-1-11 (Wishing All You Workers A Flowery Beltane)

One of the things I've learned out here: librarians are the real purveyors of sophistication in a small town. And wanton wickedness, apparently.

It's a little bit phenomenal how much work I can accomplish when my phone is dead.

I'm so glad my bathtub has one of those metal stoppers in the side under the faucet with the 2 bolts side-by-side and the long lever jutting out from the middle. The way it resembles a funny face brings me back to my childhood, whenever I'm in there for awhile.

The key to uploading video via Sludgenet from The Sticks: Do it when everyone else is in church.

Sometimes I think it'd be a good thing to expand my audience more towards college students and single men who live by themselves. I don't know a whole lot of women who would eat some of the crap I cook up, unless they're destitute. And college kids all have Internet. Most homeless women don't.

At the bottom of the ad column that's on my freeware version of MS Word (the kind that comes with most PC's and expires at some point or you never get full access to all the bells and whistles): a graphic that says "Microsoft Office 2010 is now available to students for only $79.99!"
That. is. so. cute.

What do neurosis and convenience stores have in common?
I can't afford either one.

My cat knows what he needs and pursues it with a vengeance. My dog plunges into the pitch black to bark away things he cannot see. My hummingbirds kick bird ass. There are no shrinking violets here. And if there were, they would not shrink.

Hi there, Google gives away free "Open Office" )I have the same issue with Word as you do, and I really like "Open Office" (especially since it's free.)

Heya Dotti -- actually, and well keep this between you and me, but Im enough of a geek to have been using OpenOfc for many years now. Didnt know google-tron swiped those poor bastards up, too! Its lightyears improved on the old wonkasaurus it was back in the day. But I still make use of the freebie MS that comes on my machines. Ads dont bother me; I think of them sorta as work-cousins. And like I said in the post: They tickle me. :)
