    What would you do with it, when it woke up? :-)

    Babies are so sweet.  When they are asleep. laugh

    When they wake up, look out.

    I am at the library and it is not quiet.  I thought libraries are supposed to be quiet.

    what do people do at libraries?

    There are stupid computers at this library.  I rather be at home on my own computer but I go to the library to get out of the house.  My computer at home is so much better, but it is usually quiet at the library.  It is back to being quiet at the library now.

    Quote: "Man... that is so cool!".... No it's not, your spiders are bigger than your mice fer cryin' out loud... And it's obviously living in your house.

    And I like spiders... It's just when they start eating mammals, I get a suspicious, that they may not have a Charlotte's web mentality... 

    Next video- bigger spider dragging his wife down into the basement... "Wow... Would you look at that... Cool!"

    Apparently at some, borrow movies and video games...

    It's quite a stretch, but I can sorta get movies... You know... You read the book, so now you want to see how badly the movie portrayed it... But it's not like you are gonna find War and Peace for PS4... 

    Though that would be funny... Count Berzukov running amok with his BFG gattling gun shooting mutant napoleonic zombie vampire werewolves... Like Abraham Lincoln- Vampire Hunter... Only classier.

    Incidentally... Tjohn... Thanks to the video I now am aware of something called "trypophobia"... 

    When the video plays through, you see other related ones... Those lead to other related one... That lead to me coming across some really weird thumbnails and Googling "trypophobia"... 

    I am sooooooo itchy now.

    Thank you.

    If you get skin crawlies from looking at hivey clustery honeycomb festering structures growing out of living things....

    DON'T... 

    Look that up... Really.

    was this the movie they opened up the bricked over fireplace?

    Was that the one with the little mini demons inside?  That looked like fun.

    Edited to add...

    Ha!... Thanks... one of the fireplaces in this house is bricked over... Now I know a great movie to show the kids!!!

    Heee Heee hee, muhahaahaaa!

    The cloudless sky is brilliant blue and the crisp morning breeze nibbles at my face like tiny piranhas.... Across the street the boats bob silently at the dock while two seagulls squabble over a crab carcass, like Black Friday shoppers over some bargains at a Walmart... A third poops silently from his perch atop a light pole... The breeze shifts and the lanyard on the flag pole clangs on the tall aluminum post like a small robot falling down a long spiral staircase. Fall has come and it litters the streets and lawns with red, yellow and burgundy leaves... They stir and dance on unseen whisps of air, waiting for rain so they can make some poor idiot slip and break their ankle. 

    Yeah... ps1borg does that much better...

    I had to wait outside my daughter's school for a few minutes this morning and I decided to write something... It wouldn't post from my phone for some reason... Probably the stupid wifi I'm supposed to be connected to "in over two million hotspots all over Long Island"... Unfortunately I think all of those are in a one block area in Brooklyn (which, fun fact, Brooklyn, along with Queens are both part of Long Island, although they are boroughs of New York City)... (Fun fact two- only one of NYC's five boroughs is not on an island... The Bronx)... (Fun fact three... Sea gulls get annoying after a few minutes)... Seriously, on the other side of the lake next to the school is a McDonald's and the seagulls just assume everyone who is sitting down for more than five seconds has piles of French fries to share with them.

    Oddly, I haven't gone to McDonald's in weeks, but I do have some French fries in my pocket, but the hell I'm sharing them with those greedy little dinosaurs...

    ...not bad.  A bit more "down to earth" but good.

    Yeah seagulls.  I used to go to the coast here a lot and they can get pretty bold as well as obnoxious.  Was at a kite festival one time and someone made the mistake of leaving a large bag of McDonalds burgers and fries (closed up) unattended where she had set up to watch the kites. Within moments after she walked away (for whatever reason), it was descended upon by a large bunch of seagulls and it didn't take long for them to make a mess of things and chow through everything. Even the cups of soft drinks were not left intact.

    ...agh charger brick for the notebook is becoming flaky and keeps cutting out on me with more frequency.  Don't know where I can find a replacement as this system is almost 10 years old.  Battery doesn't hold a charge worth spit anymore so I have to keep an eye on the status indicator lights. Don't like using the workstaton for extensive online activity, especially when running a render job as it saps CPU and memory resources from the render process as well as runs real s-l-o-w.

    Pride and Prejudice and Zombies worked quite well . . .

    Have to admit, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is the only film I've walked out of in over a decade, it was so dire (and I had high hopes for it from the trailer)

    Get the part number off it and check on Amazon and elsewhere. You'd be surprised how many unused parts have been warehoused

    Or just find a new one with the same specs. There are lots of them on eBay and Amazon, on eBay often for a few $ including free shipping.

    Why not replace the battery?  Try BatterySpace.com.  I got batteries for an old cordless phone system there once.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,213

    ...because the battery replacement costs more than the notebook is worth today. Replacing th Brick should be a lot cheaper.

    I made a big mistake with my hair yesterday.  I bought dollar tree hair dye.  I also somehow died my ear.  Now my hair is black for a while.

    yeah, been there, done that,  but sample only opens "1" instance of a form.  
    does not work for multiple instances.
    seems to be missing some critical information.

    Thanks though. smiley
