Growl!

The trustee for Katie’s trust fund just informed me that he doesn’t want to pay her health insurance premiums anymore because “it’s just wrong” for us to be covered under curiousmay9‘s benefits. Those are domestic partnership benefits, and the asshole…

Not again!

Damned crackers hit our server. picksmanraven is rebuilding the mail server now, but we haven’t had email since, um, Friday? So we aren’t getting copies of our comments. The working email for me is technomom at spamcop dot net.

Unhappy Computer

My laptop is sick. It looks like it might be the hard drive. No email and little ‘net for me since Sunday night. Pout. Call me at the house (not on the cell) if anything is important, ok?

Google Alert just sent me a mention of my name associated with an article called “Types of Rape.” As I don’t believe I’ve discussed that in the past, I had to check out the URL. It’s a re-post of an…

Memory Foam Odors?

sambear bought a Tempsoma memory foam pillow for me. I love it—except for the smell. I just could NOT handle the chemical smell, and Febreeze and the like didn’t help. I washed it according to the manufacturer’s directions, just adding…

PC Kvetching

I adore my laptop. I hate everything there is about moving to a new PC. BUT—I’m sitting here in my recliner, all comfy, working away with a wireless connection to the network! I’m having trouble adjusting to the keyboard—my typing…
