Oh, I almost forgot! My trusty laptop( the one I had since 2006,lol) just suddenly died on me yesterday :? It is giving me the blue death screen and I can't bypass it in any way, maybe I can restore it with an installation CD but of course that CD is long gone. Luckily, all my files and photos are backed up, so no real loss there, but I feel that is the end of an era,lol. I am a little saddened as this laptop and I have traveled the country and part of the world together, it was getting so bad that my dad( who is not that computer savvy) had to comment on my need to buy A new computer,lol. But I am a no frills kind of person when it comes to technology, or cars, or clothes( you catch my drift), I just can't justify buying things to replace things that still work, unless I am selling or donating the old things. Well, finally now I must get in with the program and buy a new laptop. Hopefully, I can use the CD that comes with it restore my dead laptop, erase all personal information and then take it to Goodwill or recycle it.

P.S. My young brother is thrilled that my laptop died, he said it embarrassed him :oops:

Candi If you buy the same brand laptop you may be able to use the CD that comes with it to restore your old laptop. If you buy a different brand I believe that the recovery disc will only work for that brand. At least that is how it used to be.

Ok so before heading out of town late Friday afternoon we had a late lunch at Denny's. When I came out of the restroom I happened to notice some of the small creamer pitchers and I had an idea, that would make a cute pincushion. I talked to the manager about buying some from her. I figured I'd get a couple for a few dollars each. She tells me that a case comes with 36 and that she would order me one at their cost which would be just under $20 total with tax. I tell her to order me a case. I picked them up last night. Here's a picture of what they look like. What do you think?

Definitely like those fabrics, especially the two on the right! If you don't have a plan for them, I'll PM you my address. You know chocolate isn't good for you so you probably will want to send that my way too and I'll dispose of it in an appropriate manner.

I am glad you have got the results so quickly. Not knowing what is wrong is the worst. Now they can help better with the pain relief. Take care and hoping they can sort you out on Friday.

Hugs,

I guess my last 3 SP,s don't like their package. The last 3 I have sent out has never posted pictures. Unless I miss them and I keep checking.
