    Thankfully they are over.
    Hopefully, the results will not be terrible.

    Wee, back after a 9 day vacation/5th yr anniversary.
    All i can say is women are SO much sneakier than men! :)
    The wife had me convinced that our place in florida had been broken into & trashed:(, so we had to go done to do repairs and get the insurance ball rolling.
    Well
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Turns out there was nothing wrong with the house!!
    She had just used it as an excuse to get us to florida, where she had book us a caribbean cruise for our anniversary!:thumb:
    She & my brother had planned everything so that i wouldn't have to worry about being away from work for over a week and to look after our animals.

    Had a great time(except for rain part of one day) & just can't figure out what that woman sees in me(she is definitely the best thing to ever happen to me).
    Back to the postings.

    Nobody can figure out what your wife sees in you... or what mine sees in me... or for that matter what any woman sees in the man she married.

    Kudoes to the wife... but don't piss her off, she's clearly capable to doing things to you you'll never see coming....

    Yeah just when you think you get them figured out, they hit you with a swerve.
    Thats ok though as my brother was a double agent:D, he was helping me suprise her at the same time he was helping her suprise me.

    I had acquired an antique french cabinet bookcase for her(as the traditional 5th yr gift is wood & she loves old furniture) that he had placed in the house while we were gone.
    She was so suprised when we got back.

    *sigh* my computer is royally screwed...it doesn't see the hard drive most of the time :( I only had it a year now I have to consider getting a new one, something to do with the harddrive logic board? I don't know didn't really understand the message the computer man left me. Not sure if I can get my stuff off it either, atleast the parts are salvagable I think so it shouldn't be too expensive to replace...£300 for an equivilent comp...still a bit annoying though.

    Just over half way through Mercenaries 2, still having fun, also played some Prototype yesterday and MY GOD!!! I want it so bad :D

    Been reading alot of books by soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and stuff, for some reason I find it really interesting, think I've just begun to get interested by modern military stuff. Even spent a good couple of hours the other day on wikipedia reading about organisation of the British army and NATO...facinating! :)

    Maybe you just need to replace the drive and not the entire computer...

    I don't know about T2, but I can safely say that I agree with him and I speak from personal experience.

    I mentioned to a friend that I had reinstalled Neverwinter Nights to play Kingmaker and was going to try Darkness Over Daggerford next. So he went and got me Pirates of the Sword Coast and Wyvern Crown of Cormyr as a birthday gift! :D

    UGH! The ride home was terrible. About a third of the way home done, a freakin' storm started. I was drenched after mere minutes. The storm was strong too, after some time the road was just too slippery. I had to come back by metro, but obviously something had to go wrong there too. They don't allow bikes on rush hour, so I had to wait until 7 PM. So there I was, soaked, tired, standing beside my bicycle looking like a moron waiting for half an hour.

    I've recently realised that computers don't seem to have a wake up alarm clock generically in them (for example as a part of Windows), or at least, I was unable to find one.

    As a result, I was awaken by a voice in Klingon saying it was time for qagh... Don't ask :p

    (While one could probably schedule a loud task to do the job, that seemed like too much effort for me at the time, and I didn't have internet connection for the other obvious solution.)

    I don't even know where the schedule setting on my computer are, let alone how to change them. It's just never come up before.

    I'm seriously pee'd off. My house is a building site, Rob's being a fanny, there are builders turning up at all hours, my mother-in-law is ruining Ashleys routine AND spoiling him (to the point where he just kicked my mums dog and thought it was funny), I'm trying to run a business, get the car serviced, sort out my own health problems and look after my mum!

    It's never ending!!

    [​IMG] All men turn into a nonce when there is an ounce of pressure, surely you knew that already :p

    If it all gets too much, lock your mother in a cupboard :) Then tell Ashley to hide because Grandma is going to play hide and seek with him. If Rob doesn't start being helpful make him go to the shops to buy potentially embarressing combinations of items, grab a cup of tea, get some work done until Ashley gets bored hiding and complains there is a banshee in the cupboard and let your mother out on the condition she goes to the chemist for things to make you feel better. Call out a mechanic while wearing a low cut top and you can garuntee he will work for a longer time but give you a discount.

    PROBLEMS SOLVED! :D

    I resemble that remark.

    Actually, I thrive under pressure.

    I'm hiding out in Vancouver on a business trip trying to feel guilty about leaving Mrs Bruno with the two T2's while I'm getting myself blitzed on great beer at a great restaurant and hotel. Ah, the sacrifices we make.
