I bet your Mother said a Doctor, not a student. 🙂 Besides, he would make enough money for you to hire someone to do all that stuff. You don’t even make sweet and sour brisket? What do you _eat_? ---

There is plenty of precooked food out there. But I’ll have to cut back on the pizza deliveries for a while. ---

Doc concurred and a prescription for anti-hiccup pills should be waiting at the happy [pill-pushers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzk4wLgnYao) place. I’ve got combined glee and dread now. A big new Mac is waiting for me at the Apple Store. (Whee!) Now, I just have to do the New Computer Shuffle to move my stuff over to it. (Ughhh…) ---

TGIF!!! It has been a busy, busy week and my brain is almost fried. I definitely need the weekend to recover. I made an executive decision - we’re going out to dinner. Don’t know where, but we’re going out. Heck, I’d be OK with pizza delivery - I just don’t feel like cooking. Not sure what I’m in the mood for - there are 2 new Mexican places but \*\*FCD \*\*hasn’t wanted Messican food lately. I wish we had a good Chinese place. We’ll figger something out. **{{{{{Skully}}}}}** - I’m sending lots of good luck vibes your way. Hope you find something soon! Our cable company has gradually been converting everything to digital, so the old CRT set in the basement gets fewer and fewer channels. We’re going to look at small digital TVs to replace the one in the shop - actually, it’ll replace the one in the bedroom, and the one in the bedroom will go in the basement. I think we’ll run by BestBuy after supper. Yeah, we know how to whoop it up on a Firday evening!! 😃 ---

Apart from CostCo not being very convenient to us, I have a problem with having to pay for the privilege of shopping somewhere. We had a BJ’s membership, and I found that for the most part, their prices were comparable to local store sales prices - at least on groceries. And by the time we pay for a membership and the gas for a 50+ mile round trip, I’m not sure it’ll be worth it to me. Plus I looked on their website, and they didn’t show any 19" sets, which is what we want. Honestly, I don’t get the appeal of shopping in warehouses. ---

{{{ **rosie** }}} {{{ **sari** }}} I’m at home waiting (impatiently) for RT to get in. I don’t know if I’ll see him tonight or not. I was working on sorting stuff in the garage and ran out of energy so now I’m sitting here getting ready to edit some video for my big project. ---

**{{rosie}}** Interwebs are back on. It’s something with one of the coax cables I’m betting. I know this because… …wait for it… … **THE WIRELESS IS WORKING ON MY COMPUTER!** :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: For the first time EVER! I have never had any luck with getting wireless to work on any computer I’ve ever owned!

Wireless may be wonderful, but I just dumped my wireless keyboard for a USB model. The wireless one kept going to sleep, forcing me to back up after I started typing something. This, however, is the first thing I’m typing on my new keyboard - yay!! 😃 We also got a new TV - turns out the one in the bedroom was 25" rather than 19". We got a 29" for the bedroom - it’s internet ready - and the smaller one plus the Roku will go down the my sweetie’s workshop. Tomorrow. We’re not going to mess with it tonight. Supper was a Red Robin. Now we’re home and in the veg mode. Yay! ---
