You heard it correctly. I have a new crush going on right now, with technology! I love my computer (MacBook 13") and my camera (Canon Powershot SD1000). You put those two together, and it is amazing what can be produced! I brought my computer with me to work today because I was working on a little project, and I feel more at home just knowing my computer is here with me. I know it sounds crazy, but there is a comfort that comes from your own personal computer that no work computer could ever produce. I love this wonderful bit of technology! It bridges gaps between people and distance, bringing the world together one email or video chat at a time. What sweetness :)

Hey, are those plant pics from your garden? If it is...kudos - looks like some serious growth! :)
Um no...thank you for mentioning it...those are pictures from YOUR garden. Great, now the shame of not being able to grow anything can once again be heaped upon me ;)
Imagine the joys of having your work computer ALSO be your personal computer :)
You're the best! That's all i've got!

It's OK Cindy - just note (if it still happens to be there) the large sago palm in Terda's front yard. . Not only is it really infested with a fungus of sorts, but it's also surrounded by quite a bit of dead grass from her opting for the dog-urine watering technique as opposed to standard water ;)
Funny, dunell, real funny. For your information, my sago is THRIVING. In fact, its new fronds are coming in this very week. This 'fungus' you speak of is actually an insect, a cycad scale, and they are destroying sagos across the state. They were accidentally introduced (oh, to err is human) from Thailand in 1996 (not by me) and have been wreaking havoc ever since. I've been combating the crusty cycad with a combination of oils and high pressure water bursts. It's apparently working, b/c the sago lives to see another day.
AND, furthermore, the dogs are aiding me in my quest for a grassless lawn. I stand firm in my belief that this *perfect lawn* that so many aim to achieve is actually the downfall of civilization...or, at least, life as we know it in Florida. From the obscene amounts of water that are wasted keeping these lawns from withering in the heat of the day to the massive amounts of chemicals dumped on them to keep them unnaturally green and bug free throughout the year to the vast number of weekend hours wasted on this pointless endeavor – it serves no other purpose, but to perpetuate the cycle of idiocy. (and I’m not even going to mention the dollar aspect of all this) True, my lawn is not some nuclear radiated shade of green beckoning you to come outside in your bare feet (so, it can share some toxic pesticide with you) – but, it is natural (urine is natural after all) and at least I can rest easy knowing I’m not contributing to the madness that is the society in which we live.
Plant native vegetation (it uses less water, is a better fit for the climate and soil, and requires less care), use mulch (it helps lock in moisture near roots where it’s needed most), water sparingly (don’t waste our precious natural resource – it’s not limitless), and don’t use pesticides (it’s not selective in what it kills and once it filters down into the water table and beyond, it is still killing, whether it be schools of fish, coral reefs, flocks of birds or bee colonies – there are immeasurable secondary victims when it comes to the rampant misuse of pesticides). Just some random thoughts on the digressed topic at hand… ;)
Oh..and cin, if it makes you feel any better, my garden is slowly being lost to drought (that is until my water timer gets some AA batteries)! ;)
You liberal ;) What do you mean our resources aren't limitless?! I laugh at you!!
You better take it with you everywhere you go...I may take it home with me, especially in that polka dot bag:)
Hands off the goods missy...I'll report you to campus saftey quicker than you can whip out that New Jersey accent to charm them ;) Need I remind you that I have attended Hostile Intruder Training. I know what to do in situations like these!
Coming to you via a 17" MacBook Pro here--both my work and home computer, plus my sole source of entertainment. Loving Word, eBay, eHarmony, and the guys in NASCAR 2008. I'm feeling the need for more cowbell. Play it Blue Oyster Cult, play it.
It's been said that Blue Oyster Cult is the thinking man's rock n' roll. Perhaps you knew you would be a rhetor even back in the late 60s when this group was popular ;)
Woah, Terda! I hit a nerve I guess with my commentary on your dog-pee-yard and infected sago. Don't worry, we only water our lawns 4-5 hours a day; and the new lawn chemical guy promises to make our yard the deepest shade of green in the neighborhood ;)
whoa Cindy! when I looked at the new computer it was like breathing fresh air... then my thoughts turned to the pictures proudly displayed. Umm...looks like pot pictures... on your screen...AHHH, I thought, Cindy's got a crush on pot. Then I was brought back to reality and realized that they were lovely garden pictures.
Mind you, this all happened in a split second.
That's great, dunell - really great! Perhaps if they get it to that perfect neon shade, then ChemLawn can actually shoot a commercial in your yard! Wouldn't that be great..srsly! ;)
