My kid crashed my computer and ran off to Gencon

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

My daughter installed a CD-RW drive (with my blessings) on our computer a while back. It crashed everything, so she pulled it and had to re-install windows before it ran right. I told her to either get it back in and running right, or return the drive. She re-installed it, told me it was fine now, then informed me this AM the whole system is down, and btw, she’s off to Gencon for 5 days, so she can try to have it up and running next monday!

I am not happy. I just got a cable modem, and was grooving on real internet access. So tonight I will return, and dust off my rusty computer skills. I once installed my own internal modem (2400 baud), RAM expansion board (giving me an entire 1.64M of RAM), audio cards (8 bit) and CD ROM drive (2x). How hard could it be?

Well, perhaps I’ll just use my rescue disks instead. Thank god I updated them 2 days before she tried to re-install. Pray for me.

I’ll pray for your daughter, off at GenCon. I used to go there-- I know what kind of socially inept geeks frequent that place!

Uhm, not that I ever was that socially inept, uh, er.

Thanks. She’s wearing her T shirt that says "I dig pale, scrawny guys. Her boyfriend is wearing a T that says “pale, scrawny guy”. She does. He is. It’s ok.

Hey Qadgop does she also have to program your VCR. giggle

So how are those new reading glasses working out teehee

You still having to buy a new box of Depends[sup]TM[/sup] everyday? bwahahaha

no, I can handle that

Don’t need 'em, I’m nearsighted

my colon is my strongest organ, and I work to maintain sphincter tone. You’d best do the same, lest you start dribbling when you titter.

heh… i love that. the idea of a clan of ninjas trained to use the awesome might of their colons raced through my mind when i read it…

“watch! i can break bricks with my ass!”

Bricks are nuthin! Walnuts! That’s the true test!

Oh jeez, my 900th post was about breaking walnuts with my ass! Tons of posts trying to give reliable information about things medical, and just look what happens. I’ll have to be damn careful approaching 1000.

I don’t know whether to feel bad about dragging you down this humor path or not so that you “wasted” your 900th post. Let me think…bad … not bad … bad … not bad … bad … not bad, nope not going to. It was a funny joke, so there! nah nah.

[mother voice]
But as a doctor you know humor is good for what ails ya.
[/mothers voice]

That joke should clear up that sphincter problem. You may now break walnuts the proper way rather than that party way you’ve obviously been engaging in lately.

Less than ten posts, and this thread went from computer geek stuff to breaking walnuts with buttocks.

wow.

Eh. Gimme me a few bananas and I can train a monkey to install a cdrw. You shouldn’t have any problems. Just try not to lick any exposed capacitors.

…or eat any walnuts at Qadgop’s house.

And watch out for the homemade Brownies…
