My condolences Almy



And now my pc has finally broken down. Most of my stuff is are stored in sd cards and thumbdrives except for 8gb worth of doll photos that remain. It would at least be 2 more months before I can buy a pc since there's some kind of restructuring going on in my company and I want to make sure my fiances are fluid before I get my pc.

Making do with a netbook

If the hard drive is still good you can get a reader cheap enough that you can hook to the netbook so you can access/recover files on it then use it as an external hard drive. I made do with a pink Acer for awhile.

Am I wrong to want to rant at my deceased ex-husband a year after his death? I found out last week (and only now feel up to talking about it) that the idiot was so determined I didn't get any of his precious retirement after the divorce that he took the time to remove me as his beneficiary - and didn't bother to take the addition ten seconds it would take to make our daughter his beneficiary as ordered by the court!!!!! What does that mean in the grand scheme of things? Well, it means that instead of his retirement money going through the estate as it should have, the government sees it as being cashed out early and taxed it to the maximum and added a 10% penalty. So now, the government has a huge amount of his retirement instead of his daughter. So that money we thought could be used for her college? Poof. Gone. And there's not a damn thing we can do. Idiot.

Thanks. I'll take note of that. The hard drive should still be ok, its the intergrated video card that died off. Don't really want to buy a new card since I'm been looking into getting new pc in the first place.

@kirahfaye: rant away. idiots deserve to be yelled at, even after passing.

doll related rant: switching out a head on a G.I.Joe when, instead of popping off as it should, it decides to snap off the kneckpost instead. sigh, hope it's salvageable.

My laptop is in the shop. Only one more day...It's finally felt safe to come on here again....Man I missed this forum...

Arrggg! I'm almost done rerooting a head and I ran out of hair!

Those of you that frequent buffets... can I ask you a favor? Don't mix up the tongs or other serving utensils on the trays. I went to a new Chinese buffet tonight, and apparently, someone used one of the tongs from the crab sushi to scoop the edamame beans, and I had a reaction. Anaphylaxis is not very fun. I REALLY LIKE BREATHING KTHNX.

I'm severely allergic to crab. Even the artificial stuff usually has crab oil in it, (it's meant to cut cost, not prevent reactions, for those of you going 'but fake crab is supposed to be safe for people with shellfish allergies!' pro-tip: it's not) and if I eat something that was touched by something that touched crab, then I will react. Mildly, but react none the less. God forbid I eat real crab. I'd probably be dead within an hour. >_> If I even touch something that touched crab, I'll break out in hives. When I worked in a Japanese restaurant, I had to keep a tube of benadryl cream in my locker, just in case someone didn't wash their hands after making sushi, and picked up a knife.

[Alopecia No Hime]

Ouch....I always hate it when people do that and I try to never do it. I'm sorry that happened.

[OkamiKodomo]

Yep, so I spent the last hour in a benadryl haze, and now I'm crabby. Heh... pun intended. Luckily, by the time the reaction started, we were already on our way home. It sucks because this buffet has really, really good food, but there's a loooot of stuff that has crab in it, so my options are limited. I can't even eat the things in the trays next to the crab, for just this reason. And the sushi bar is off limits. Which blows, cuz I love sushi. Funny thing is, I can eat all the shrimp and lobster I want, and I won't react. It's only crab.
